After 5 incredible months of living in Grenada, we have moved on. Even though it was a very emotional goodbye last year, in a way, it was harder to leave this year because we were that much more attached to the people, the pets and our life there.
But, we’re travellers and our feet get itchy! The time had come for us to move on and explore other parts of our world. We were sad to go, but thinking that we’ll be returning to our favourite island in about 6 months made it that much easier to leave.
If you’re looking for an accommodation option on the island, check out Mount Cinnamon Grenada – an incredible boutique hotel!
Here’s what 5 months of living in Grenada looked like 🙂
St. George’s Carenage from above.Hiking Mount Qua Qua was quite the workout.The fish market in St. George’s has an excellent selection of fresh seafood!The stunning Grand Anse Beach peeking through the Flamboyant treeAfternoon beers at the beach, a must on a hot day!Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in St. George’sEnjoying a lunch break at Grand Anse Beach!The scuba diving in Grenada is excellent – this is Nick and Phil from Dive Grenada going in for a shore dive.This is Pumpkin one of the two dogs from our first house sit here…isn’t she adorable!We found this baby iguana hanging on to this water bucket.Our friend’s great auntie making us all the national dish of Grenada, an oil down.This is Spare Dog. We took care of him last year for almost 7 months, and again this year for 3.A gorgeous sunset at our favourite spot – La LunaMeet Macy, she was the other dog at our first house sit – look at that face!The sunset view from our first house sitting job this year.At the far southern end of Grand Anse Beach.Partying at J’ouvert, Carnival with our friends, Rolando and Kendra.A beautiful sky above our second house sit property.Some local guys that live near us – they made us the best meal!Nick and Darryl…those are some big beers!The walks along the jagged, rocky coastline are beautiful.This band, For The Love of Music, are amazing!Me and my friend Amanda having a girls day at the beach bar.A lovely hiking path leads to Hog Island.Discarded nutmeg shells line many walkways.Working with these kind of views was very distracting!Lush and green, this is why we love the wet season in the tropics.A local watering hole near our friend’s house – a great place to cool off with the kids.Dinghy concerts are unique concerts out on the water.The towering Royal Mount Carmel Falls.Look at the size of this mango compared to that spoon! I’ve never seen one so large.And last but not least, a goat!
There you have it. This is what our lives as bloggers looked like while living in Grenada. Since leaving the country, we headed to Canada for a quick 10 day visit with family, before travelling to where we currently are…Barbados!
Stay tuned to hear about our first impressions of this Caribbean island 🙂

We’ve made plenty of mistakes. Some of them have cost us a lot of time and money. Particularly #7 on this list!

This was the most exciting and most difficult time of our lives, and there was a time when we thought we might break up over it. A lot of Instagrammers, Bloggers and YouTubers (including us) are always talking about how great it is to live a freedom life. One where you can work from anywhere ...
It’s that time of year! A time when we sit back and reflect on the past 365 days. I’ve been writing these “Looking Back” posts since 2012 and I’m sad to say that for various reasons (some of which you’ll read about here), I missed writing about 2022. Most of 2022 was amazing and we ...

This is amazing! We’ve been moving city to city within the US to explore a new area and have just started talking about moving abroad.
Looks like such a great experience. After spending some time in Puerto Rico it’s made me want to explore so much more of the Caribbean.
Granada looks AMAZING! How did you get all of those dog sit gigs? I just might have to explore that. I sure wouldn’t mind a few months on a gorgeous island!!
Excellent photos. This blog is alive.
Great pics. Looks like a great place to celebrate Christmas and New Years Eve. We were thinking of you as we munched on our subs on Saturday. Thanks so much for the gift certificate. Enjoy your travels. Keep safe. Love, Nan and Charlie
Excellent! Good luck to you 🙂
Isn’t the Caribbean great?! How was Puerto Rico?
House / pet sitting has been really great for us. The dogs we’ve taken care of in different countries have been sweethearts 🙂 We are through Trusted House Sitters. Check out the link here. If you book with our link, we get a small commission, but doesn’t cost you any extra. Thanks for the support!
Glad you enjoyed! Yep, it would be a good spot to spend the holidays. We’ll be doing that in Barbados this year!
Cheers.
If you change your mind and make up new plans for next year, I can take over in Grenada… 😉
I can get testimonials from a family in Green Street, St George’s, where I ended up amidst a bitch with a litter, that were all very sick. Changed my plans and 6 weeks later they were healthy and I could start my touring the island. Great experience both!
Well I know you will give me the link to Trusted House Sitters, which I may use someday…
It’s very nice to follow you in G-da and elsewhere!

These photos are amazing! I spent 5 months living in the Caribbean ( Dominican Republic). Everyday is an adventure! Love your blog.
Oh, fabulous! Where in the Dominican did you live? !
My dad went to medical school in Grenada for 2 years and absolutely loved it! He wants to take us there eventually, but we haven’t found time to do so! I also have a dog named Macy, what a small world! Grenada looks beautiful–white sandy beaches, crystal blue water, and beautiful plants/trees. Hopefully I can take pictures that capture the beauty of Grenada like these ones!
Nice! Ya, its a beautiful island – the University is in an amazing location 🙂
Your photos (and blog) are amazing! If you don’t mind (as I’m sure you’ve been asked a plenty) but what camera do you most commonly use? 🙂
