We know the tropics. We’ve sailed and swam the blue waters, walked the white sand beaches and lingered over rum drinks in thatched-roofed bars. Who are we? A team of professional travel writers, editors and photojournalists dedicated to sharing our knowledge and firsthand experiences in tropical destinations to help you craft the perfect escape. Our goal at Tropix Traveler is to help guide your quest to that ideal place in the sun; suggest memorable activities, showcase savory cuisines, recommend the choicest accommodations and share insider tips that make your trip everything you want it to be. We are your one-stop resource for research, travel tips and reservations. Think of it as your personal guide from initial inspiration to final destination.
Caribbean Expert - Debbie Snow
Debbie has spent over 25 years traveling and living in South America, Central America, and the Caribbean. She has landed on every Caribbean country, visiting some as many as 20 times. In addition to covering the more popular islands, Debbie has ventured to the small, out-of-the-way corners of the tropics as well. She likes to spend time in each location getting to know the people and discovering the lesser-known details of each destination.
Adventure/Sports Expert - Pierce Hoover
Pierce does it all. An avid diver, sailor, fisherman and environmentalist, he’s traveled the globe in pursuit of unique experiences and exciting water sports, with a special emphasis on documenting active adventures in the Caribbean, Hawaii, and the tropical Americas. His most recent focus is the Islands of the Indo-Pacific, which he feels is ripe to become the next great destination for cultural, ecological and active adventure travel.

A true wanderer at heart, Lani has lived in Hawaii, Florida, California, and NYC, and now calls Miami Beach home.
