In this episode, I'm taking you on a whirlwind journey around the beautiful island of Dominica with my well-traveled guest and friend, Dr. Clementine Affana, founder of the YouTube channel and blog, Travel with Clem. Dr. Clem's intimate knowledge of Dominica, from its lush greenery to its black sand beaches, will get you all ready to pack your bags and go on an epic adventure in the Nature Isle.

Today we explore more than just the physical beauty of Dominica. We dive headfirst into the island's culture, with a special focus on the indigenous Kalinago tribe - one of the only surviving original Caribbean tribes. With Dr. Clem guiding us, we explore the diverse music scene of Dominica, going beyond soca and reggae to discover various genres, and even get a chance to discuss culinary and cultural festivals. We also discuss how to be a respectful tourist, offering tips on choosing accommodations that align with your planned activities and the importance of respecting the local culture.
