“Such a good read. I relate to Corky in a unique way in that I live and work as a caretaker on Culebra, the sister island of Vieques. Corky found the words to describe the mix of peace, beauty, frustration and challenges that come with this life. I recommend this comfortable read for its fun, positive, and insightful message.”

Oh how I would love to go to...”

Coming from a family hospitality background I related so much to Corky’s story and couldn’t wait to continue and finish each chapter. A must-read for anyone that’s ever imagined running an accommodation business, changing career paths, moving to another country or, like me, loves hearing other people’s life...”

“This is exactly the type of memoir I love! Someone who has a passion to make/create something and then takes you on the adventure through the process. Corky’s story really appealed to me due to locations and her hopes of what she was wanting to create. In her memoir she shares about buying a group of cabins on a small island in the Caribbean which she turns into an Inn and runs from her home in WA state. With frequent trips down… a slew of managers, and a well known guest. You are...”
