Deana Bellamy

There remains something of a misconception about the Caribbean, that old chestnut, that if you have been to one island you have been to them all. Or the other notion of individual islands being one-dimensional. Of course it's not true, there is so much more to the Caribbean than simply sun, sand and sea and to be involved in a platform like Definitive Caribbean, from which I can help dispel these myths, is very heartening.
