What to eat and drink in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines This post is a guide on what to eat and drink in this beautiful chain of islands country of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, or more specifically, it is about what we did indeed eat or drink our time there. Here are our top 7 food/drink experiences we had in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. 7. Street Corn Grilled corn in Kingstown in SVG Yes, you heard it right.

Regardless, it was a nice surprise to be able to enjoy grilled corn from a street vendor while strolling around town in Kingstown. Grilled street corn is a must try if you are in Kingstown. 6.

Hiking La Soufrière Volcano in Saint Vincent This is THE hike of Saint Vincent. If you are an active person spending some time in SVG (Saint Vincent and the Grenadines), this will be the highlight of your trip.

This post is about my travel to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, a beautiful, mostly non-touristy island(s) country in the Lesser Antilles of the Caribbean. I took a different perspective on this post, seemingly negative, a more positive one will come shortly. In this post, I talk about my worst travel experiences from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. In other words, these are the worst things that can happen if you go to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Read and decide yourself if you still want to go, I bet you will find my experience rather humorous than scary. We all talk about the good and the glamorous. Hardly ever I see a blog post about negative travel experience. I believe it happens, but we are usually ashamed to shared that or we think it is going to overshadow the good experience. I, on the other hand, find it useful to read or hear about travel experiences where things were not ideal. I believe it gives us opportunity to learn and be prepared for it. If the negative
