Ahoy, Come Monday Travel enthusiasts! Prepare your palates and ready your thirst, because we've just added a swashbuckling new member to our crew! Please give a hearty "Aye, aye!" to our new Food and Drink Reporter, the one and only Captain Cara Bean!
This isn't your average landlubber, folks. Captain Cara Bean has spent years traversing the turquoise waters of the Caribbean and beyond, not in search of buried gold (though she wouldn't turn down a doubloon or two!), but on a far more delicious and spirited quest: to uncover the finest flavors, the most mouthwatering meals, and the most unforgettable libations the islands have to offer.
From her humble beginnings in the bustling port town of the British Virgin Islands to her daring days sailing under the tutelage of the legendary "One-Eyed" Opal, Captain Cara has honed her culinary senses in the most authentic kitchens and the most lively taverns imaginable. While her shipmates were busy with more… traditional pirate activities, Cara was deep in conversation with local cooks, coaxing out secret family recipes and discovering the hidden gems where the food sings and the drinks flow freely.
Now, this seasoned sailor and expert gourmand is bringing her treasure trove of knowledge directly to you, right here on the Come Monday Travel blog! Get ready for a weekly dose of delicious adventure as Captain Cara Bean shares:
- Destination Food Spot Reviews: Forget the tourist traps! Captain Cara will steer you towards the most authentic and craveable eateries, from beachfront shacks serving up the freshest grilled fish to tucked-away spots where the locals gather for truly exceptional meals.

Imagine bringing the vibrant tastes of the Caribbean right to your own kitchen!

Captain Cara has a knack for finding those legendary dive bars – the ones with character, friendly faces, and perfectly poured drinks. She'll be your guide to the watering holes you absolutely can't miss.
Captain Cara's expertise isn't limited to just seafood and rum, mind you. Her years of exploration have also cultivated a deep appreciation for smoky, finger-licking BBQ and the diverse and exciting world of craft beers she's encountered in her port calls. Expect some land-based culinary adventures to make their way onto the blog as well!
