Dominica Overview

Welcome to the island nation of Domica… well, technically it’s a Commonwealth—but does anyone care about semantics when the water is that blue? Though it’s only been an officially recognized nation (Commonwealth, whatever) since 1978, Dominica is the perfect place for weary travelers looking to kick back. This is the land of forgotten days on the beach, winding trails perfect for hikes, and the ideal backdrop for epiphanies with a rum and coke in hand. After all, as our researcher puts it, this is a land where loitering is a way of life. Go to Dominica to find adventure, nature, and a hell of a lot more sand in your luggage than you might care to—and who knows, you might find yourself too. Just be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the paros and nudists on your travels.
