  • Overview

It’s hard to find a nation that dances to a friendlier, more laid-back tempo than Dominica. The island rises majestically out of a turquoise-blue sea and provides a visually stunning backdrop to an easy-going way of life.  Although you won’t find your typical Caribbean beach vacation here, you will find a country that begs you to discover and engage with its people, land and rich culture. 

It was recently rated the fourth happiest country in the world and after visiting you are likely to understand many of the reasons why.  With its rainforest covered mountains, unspoiled reefs, hidden beaches, natural hot springs, waterfalls galore, and 365 pristine rivers, Dominica’s rugged good looks will likely make you weak in the knees. As the national saying goes: “Aprés Bondie C’est la Ter.”  After God, is the land. 

About the Author



Anna McCanse
After teaching for several years in California, Anna decided to take her skills on the road and joined the Peace Corps where she served in Dominica from 2006-2008 as an education volunteer.  When she wasn’t working at her village’s primary school she could be found swimming beneath waterfalls,  jumping into rivers, hiking up mountains, learning to play steel-pan drums, playing with the kids in her village and reading lots and lots of books.  She was overjoyed to have the opportunity to travel back to Dominica to write this guide and share her favorite places with everyone.   She’s also happy that she can stop assaulting innocent bystanders with her stories of Dominica and can now just say “hey-go buy the book!”
