Monthly View of Virgin Islands Lifestyle

From tranquil and enchanting beaches to pulsating night clubs bellowing European pop and techno music, to heart stopping horse racing, the United States Virgin Islands and the people who call it home offer a paradox of intrigue complementary to its unique role in the Caribbean.

The US Virgin Islands is the only group of Islands in the Caribbean that are owned by the United States.  The dynamic clash caused when American pop culture meets West Indian folklore, has created a new generation of Caribbean-Americans unlike any generation before.

Although the Virgin Islands may be influenced by their American counterparts, they still hold true to their West Indian Roots.  Have you ever heard of an American who can cook Kalaloo, or even play a steel pan and still dance the night away to the rhythmic tunes of Calypso?  

Vibrant faces and cool smiles with greetings such as " How you doin", and "Hey Mon" abound in this colorful community.  US Virgin Islanders get to enjoy the best of both worlds, and it reflects in their everyday lifestyles.  Virgin Islanders are a the perfect combination of all the Caribbean has to offer and American culture rolled into one.  We Invite you on an excursion into the everyday lives of Virgin Islanders to see how much alike we really are, but so very much different.  Welcome to  Island lifestyles.
