Riding a hurricane in the Caribbean is not something we like doing. As someone who has survived some of these storms, I want to share with you what I have about preparing, surviving, and about life after a hurricane in the hopes that these tips help you stay safe and sound. Hear firsthand what it's like to brace for a storm,  why the first week of September is especially stressful, and the role you can play as a visitor to these affected islands.

Ready to learn some unexpected hurricane survival skills? Discover how best to keep your beloved pets safe before, during, and after a storm, and the surprising use of melatonin in keeping them calm. Get yours here.

Then, we'll go through the must-dos on the day of the storm, from unplugging electronics to keep them from frying to spraying humble WD40 in keyholes to prevent them from rusting shut. I'll also throw light on the less-talked-about things like a neighborhood watch.

But that's not all. We'll also discuss the delicate balance of tourism post-disaster and the unintended consequences of selfish selfies amongst someone's shattered dreams. Plus, I'll share the truth behind the heartbreaking reality of pets abandoned during hurricane evacuations. Lastly, I'll share my personal experiences and survival hacks from living through several Caribbean hurricanes. So, buckle up for this insightful episode on Paradise Perspectives, where we brave the storm together. Don't forget to subscribe and leave a review to stay connected through all of life's hurricanes.
