Grenada

Paul Crask (www.paulcrask.com) is a writer, independent magazine designer and publisher, and documentary photographer who has lived in the eastern Caribbean for over 17 years. Based in Dominica, he has written about many islands in the eastern Caribbean, including Grenada and the Grenadines. Next to Dominica, Grenada and Carriacou are Paul's favourite Caribbean islands, and he has explored them often. In Carriacou, he loves to wander the remote tracks of Limlair and High North, chatting to boatbuilders in Windward, and crossing the water to Petite Martinique, which he feels is as remote and peaceful as it gets in this part of the world. In Grenada, he enjoys walking the beaches and visiting the cocoa farms, chocolate factories and rum distilleries which have all provided him with inspiration. His freelance travel articles and photographs have featured in international and regional publications. He is also the author of Bradt's Dominica.
