Discover Your Caribbean Moments: How Slowing Down Transforms Travel (& Why I Started This Blog)

If you’re new here, welcome! I’m Rhonda Serre, founder of My Caribbean Moments—a blog born from a lifelong love of travel and a deep belief that the Caribbean’s true magic is found far beyond the usual tourist trails.

Why I Created My Caribbean Moments

After years in PR, business, and globe-trotting, I realized my most powerful travel memories weren’t about checking off “must-sees.” They were about slowing down—sharing a laugh at a local festival, savoring a home-cooked meal, or simply feeling the sunrise on a quiet beach. I craved a space that celebrated these real, unhurried moments. That’s why I created My Caribbean Moments: to help you experience the Caribbean as more than a destination, but as a journey of self-discovery and connection.

My hope is that you’ll discover your own “Caribbean Moment”—a memory that lingers, deepens your understanding, and maybe even changes how you see the world.

My Own Transformative Moments

Some of my favorite stories are the ones I never planned:

A sunrise walk on a deserted beach in Jamaica, where the rhythm of the waves taught me to slow down.
Being swept into a circle dance at a local festival, laughter and music blurring the line between visitor and local.
Watching my kids’ faces light up at a bustling market, or the chaos of a family trip where the best memories were the surprises (like phones going swimming, or waking up with face paint everywhere!).

These moments taught me that true travel isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence.
