This is Part 3, the final installment of our 3-part Caribbean adventure series. In Part 1, we swam with giant sea turtles. In Part 2, we jumped out of an airplane at 10,000 feet. Today?

This is Part 2 of our 3-part Caribbean adventure series. In Part 1, we swam with giant sea turtles, visited Maho beach where the planes fly just over your head, and climbed a massive rock in the middle of the ocean.

This is Part 1 of our 3-part Caribbean adventure series. Join me as we explore the best of both sides of this incredible island – from swimming with sea turtles to skydiving over Grand Case (Part 2) and conquering the Flying Dutchman, the steepest zipline in the world (Part 3).

New York City doesn’t introduce itself all at once. Back home in Newfoundland, when you meet someone new, they shake your hand and ask “who ya longs to” (which is newfinese for who’s your family), and most likely they already know your uncle, sister, or cousins. Five minutes later, you’re standing in their kitchen with a cup of tea havin’ a yarn like you knew each other for years..

New York is a full-volume city. Energy, lights, sirens, steam vents, accents, attitude, people—like someone turned the world’s energy up two notches and snapped the knob off. I’ve been to New York six times. Each trip taught me something the last one missed. The first time, I tried to see everything and left exhausted and some cranky.

New York City has no interest in making you comfortable. The moment you step off the plane, you’re in it — the noise, the speed, the sheer density of eight million people all living their own urgent story.
