With an island for each day of the year, it seems the next secluded island haven is always in sight. Charter a sailboat for true freedom of exploration in this magnificent island chain. From the Holandeses to the Lemon Cays, there’s no shortage of deserted islands awaiting a new resident for the afternoon or longer. Just when you think you’ve found a sleepy caye that’s paradise perfected, the lure of the swaying palms taunting you from across the turquoise channel is simply too strong to ignore.

I'm Jenny McIver, career girl, globetrotter. On New Year's Day, 2005, a newspaper article about a man who took a trip around the world sparked a wanderlust in me that has yet to abate. I spent the following year planning my own trip-of-a-lifetime and have since made it into an annual, month-long adventure visiting and writing about more than 130 countries on all 7 continents along the way - all while maintaining a full-time career. Today, my goal is to be that spark of inspiration for others by proving that you can fulfill your wildest travel dreams without quitting your day job.
