Starting this blog has definitely changed my life in many ways. Sometimes it’s stressful, sometimes I have the “writer block”, but I love every bit of it. Thanks to my blog I am more focused of what I really want from life, I get constant support from the travelers community (I love you!) and I also enjoyed some beautiful trips I wouldn’t have done otherwise.
It’s been almost 2 years since I started and the best way to celebrate my second blog-versary has just popped up in my life: I’m joining a sponsored blog trip to the tiny island country of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, in the Caribbean Sea.
A few months ago I started a collaboration with Traveldudes, a website I’m sure everyone of you know very well. From a regular user, I was given the chance of becoming an editor and I accepted enthusiastically.
Being an editor is a huge opportunity for me to learn a lot about travel writing, and also a constant spring of inspiration for my travels.
What I didn’t imagine was that I was about to be given the chance of representing Traveldudes in some awesome blog trips. Long story short: Caribbean, here I come!
The blog trip: May 14th to 20th, 2012
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is a tiny country in the Caribbean Sea, just between St Lucia and Martinique. Did you ever hear about it before? Because I didn’t. The same thing happened to me when a friend of mine asked me “why don’t we go to Honduras”? and I had to Google it. And then, what a surprise!
And I love surprises.
I am sure St Vincent and Grenadines will surprise me in many ways.
The itinerary includes several tours of the main islands, waterfalls, a volcano climb (first time for me! And I love volcanoes!), a gorgeous botanical garden with spices and colorful parrots, and then of course breathtaking sea and inviting beach hotels.
After 5 months of snow, this is just the perfect trip for me and I can’t wait to be there and start reporting.

The trip is organized and sponsored by VisitSVG, the SVG Tourism Board.

awesome opportunity to travel (and blog!)…really cool to see your success!
Thanks Jilly! I really feel like it’s a success for me as my happiness and excitement in these days are barely bearable. :)
I’m so glad for you, Giulia! I visited St Vincent and the Grenadines a few years ago by sailing boat and I’m sure you’ll love them. I still remember the amazing colors of the Caribbean waters.
I’ll stay tuned to read more about your trip.
This will be my first time in the area – I’ve been to Roatan before but this is the REAL Caribbean – and I am so happy to explore this place!
Thanks dear and I’ll be back with some cool pirate-style pics :)
You’re going to love it. If you get the chance, go to Bequia. I think it’s one of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean.
Hi Alex and thanks for the tip! I had a look at the itinerary and yay! we are going to spend a full day in Bequia. I am very much looking forward to that!
If you wish, you can have a look at the full itinerary and travel diary here: SVG on Traveldudes

Amazing chance to travel.
Yes, yes, yes! Thanks Seattle.
Congratulations! So happy to hear you partnered up with Melvin, what a great site!
I am so happy I had the chance of starting to partner with him… It’s great exercise for my writing and great source of inspiration!
Also I just had this amazing chance to travel to SVG and I already told him I’ll always be grateful for this. :)
Grazie bella :)
I am so happy for you Guilia. The St Vincent and the Grenadines are really beautiful place to take a vacation.It seems the beach is really beautiful. I will encourage my husband to take some vacation on these places.
You can follow my journey at SVG together with your husband and hopefully he’ll decide to take you there! ;)
Thanks for stopping by, Maria!
[…] being able to be in Bologna but I am also very much excited about this new plan. Read all about it here and […]
I have never been to these islands and i guess it is one of the most great places where people would want to experience its ambiance..
It seems that I am also guilty of being unaware about Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. However, it seems to be a nice place.
They said that there are 32 gorgeous Caribbean islands can be found.
Congratulations, Giulia! Can’t wait to read about your trip! Have a safe one.:)
Thank you Pauline and good to see you around! :)
The island of St. Vincent is a wonderful place to visit. Climbing the volcano is an exciting adventure. Its an experience worth having when visiting the island.
Never heard about Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. But I guess that it’s a wonderful paradise, when seeing the picture you provide.
Looks this was an amazing destination
