Dominica’s cuisine — Unmissable experiences, from foraging to fine dining
The island of Dominica — not to be confused with the Dominican Republic, though it’s also in the Caribbean — is an underrated hotspot for adventurous food lovers. Dominica’s culinary fusion of diverse cultures and rich volcanic soil creates an array of complex, tropical flavours. The cuisine’s creative take on locally grown goods appeals to many palettes. The island’s cornucopia of foods creates limitless combinations, ranging from hearty goat meat to a leafy green coconut soup.

Alta Valsesia Travel Guide: The Italian Alps’ Undiscovered Gem
Our family has lived in Italy’s Valsesia Valley for 500 years. It is a magical place, and nothing like the Italy you think you know. Yvon Chouinard, the founder of Patagonia and famed outdoorsman, says visiting the Valsesia “changed his life.” Some of the finest parts of the Alps are in this quiet corner of Piedmont bordering Switzerland. And though you probably think of skiing when it comes to the Alps, Valsesia is an all-season destination.
Dominica Travel Guide: From Rainforest Hiking to Creole Cuisine
A small, volcano-carved island wedged between Martinique and Guadeloupe in the eastern Caribbean, the Island of Dominica — not the Dominican Republic — is one of those rare finds: a down-to-earth haven of otherworldly beauty with a rich and welcoming culture and an amazing array of nature-based activities. Whether it’s hiking through mist-shrouded volcanoes, foraging for pepper cherries and breadfruit on an organic farm, or scuba diving among the corals, karibu’s Dominica adventures are authentic, sustainable travel done right.
What To Do on Vancouver Island
Last year, Condé Nast Traveler crowned Vancouver Island one of the best island vacations in the world, alongside the likes of Hawaii, Mallorca and Dominica. This under-the-radar western Canadian island is one of the most beautiful places on earth, with outsized giant forests, spectacular mountainscapes, incredible wildlife and rich history and culture, if you know where to look.
Should You Bring Your Dog Canoeing This Summer?
Being out on the water in a canoe or kayak with your dog is the stuff summer dreams are made of. Still, as many get ready to go backcountry canoeing this summer, it’s important to ask some key questions about your beloved pet. As obedient, smart and nature-loving as your dog might be, that doesn’t necessarily mean she belongs in a canoe.
