I’ve been interested in going to Dominica for a few years now. Interestingly enough, it was after the devastating hurricane Erika in 2015. While reading about the havoc it wreaked through the beautifully green Caribbean island, I couldn’t get over just that: how beautiful and green the island was. Most of their economy is from eco-tourism, many of these facilities have been destroyed. The most you can do for this island is keep going. That’s what I understood from the article. So, it’s been on my list for quite some time and I jumped at the opportunity to head to the Nature Isle this March. It rained for about 65% of my time there. And I mean pouring rain, not cute island sunshowers . Well, it made the sunshine all that more special. And I had a great time despite the weather!
