In the Spring, my oldest son and I had the opportunity to visit a primary school in Turks and Caicos. It was such a good experience for both of us that I knew I wanted to attend with the younger boys as well, on our most recent trip to Negril, Jamaica. Started in 2011, the Reading Road Trip, is The Sandals Foundation's first voluntourism initiative aimed at improving literacy, comprehension and vocabulary among students.

I'm a bit of a water junkie, it's my go-to drink of choice whether it be straight up or spiked with lemon, it's always a favourite choice for me.
