An Antiguan in the UK
islandlifestylez.blogspot.com
2
This blog began as a project assigned at a tourism sponsored internet marketing workshop on the island of St. Marteen. I continued the blog when I returned to the tourist office in Antigua. At the time, the blog went by a completely different name. It's now called "An Antiguan in the UK" simply because I relocated to the UK in 2009 but wanted to continue the blog, maintaining its initial purpose but with the added element of recording pieces of my life while away from home. nuff said :)
