Lucy McGuire has been a journalist for 18 years and a travel writer for almost as long, writing for a range of national titles, and often seeking out human interest and food-focused stories while she's at it. The Caribbean has long been one of her favourite - and most visited - destinations and her standout memories include a bean-to-bar experience in St Lucia and seeking out the home of community tourism on Jamaica's southwest coast. Beyond the Caribbean, she counts canoeing down Zambia's Zambezi River and sipping her way through South Africa's winelands among her best experiences.
