NASSAU, Bahamas -- Travel writer Noelle Khalila is spreading her message about the joys of Family Island travel in regional and international publications. Last week, Washington, D.C. travel writer Jeff Barger published an extensive interview with Noelle on his travel website "In Our Times", sharing Noelle's perspectives on Bahamian culture and the everyday idiosyncrasies of island living.
From the top three things to do in Nassau and the must try experiences when visiting the islands, to the proper way to eat fish island style, Noelle shares personal stories while delving beyond the beach.
"I've travelled quite a bit all around the world, but there was something about the idea of having 700+ unexplored islands in my backyard that just brought me to my roots. That is really the genesis of the Domestic Tourist; I embarked on a mission of self-discovery. The support has been overwhelming, and I think it's because all Bahamians have this unexpressed desire to discover and explore the islands we call home," said Noelle.
Earlier this year Noelle traded in her mainstream media job as a journalist and newspaper editor to launch her new travel business. Since then, she has been on the radar of international travel publishers, including the National Geographic Society and Caribbean Beat Magazine. The "In Our Times" travel blog is just the latest industry publication to take note of Noelle's work.
Last month Noelle also celebrated a major milestone when she secured her first consulting job with National Geographic. The world-renowned travel company contracted Noelle to write online copy for the launch of a new geotourism website featuring the Islands of the Bahamas.
