About the host
Hosted by Simone Brown
An island girl at heart, I've lived in and travelled through the Caribbean, the US, and West Africa for nearly 20 years. While studying and working in community development in over 10 countries, I developed a love for the tropics and hospitality. Faith in God is core to my life and inspires my enjoyment of hosting. My pleasures include spending time with family and friends, decorating, gardening and the arts.
