Hey! I'm Charlie, a current student at the Telfer School of Management at the University of Ottawa!

Despite being rather studious, I look forward to study breaks (better known as 'reading week' in Ontario) just like any student. However, I don't tend to rest and relax on the few breaks students get every year, I travel!  When I travel, I try to see and do as much as possible, sleep can WAIT.

Currently, in my fourth year of studies, I have spent every reading week (excluding COVID semesters) in the Caribbean!  With little time-frames between classes on the short study breaks given each semester, my family has gotten pretty good at booking the perfect study break trips for the short weeks myself and my siblings get as students.  

I have travelled to over 50 percent of the Caribbean including; Antigua, Aruba, St. Kitts and Haiti and I'm not planning to stop with vacations already booked until my last reading week and beyond!

Having travelled the Caribbean and experienced it many ways through all-inclusive resorts, hotels and on cruises, I thought it was about time to share my experiences!

The Study Break Tropics will include the must-see and dos from a young, active traveller's perspective... so stick around and follow along.
