Tina ,  

a Caye Caulker native or 'island girl', has traveled extensively and lived in many countries, including Curacao, St. Lucia,  St. Maarten, Miami and Africa.  Friendly and outgoing, the free spirited Tina decided that Caye Caulker would be the perfect location for a European influenced 'Youth Hostel' !  She was right!
