McCool Travel is excited to present interviews with travel industry giants, super frequent travelers, and adventurous persons.
For the sixth profile, I am thrilled to present Peta Phipps, the publisher of Caribbean Living magazine. Peta has a dream job. Her upcoming schedule includes hosting celebrity meet-and-greet events at the Super Bowl, Grammy Awards, NBA All-Star game, and Academy Awards. When Peta is not rubbing elbows with glitterati, she travels around the Caribbean. See what I mean about the dream job! Peta’s hometown is Discovery Bay, Jamaica and she currently lives in South Florida. Peta and I shared tropical drinks at an outdoor bar this past October and she recently shared these responses with me.
Always in my luggage…
My very special necklace. I call it my uniform.
3 favorite home-away-from-home places…
Round Hill, Jamaica, Santorini, Greece, Los Angeles
A favorite travel memory is…
Watching my daughter surface after her first SCUBA dive at 8 years old.
3 favorite travel brands…
Not much of a brand name dropper or follower. I like the unique, luxurious gems that are often not affiliated with a brand.
3 money-saving travel tactics I use are…
A secret web site for last minute travel, never book my rental car until 2 days prior, dine like a local when traveling
3 ways that I have fun while traveling are…
beach bars, stroll local markets, hop on a yacht
8 word (or less) travel mantra…
I can’t wait to see what happens next

Great interview! I could go for some roadside coconut right now!
Yes, Steph, I know what you mean. I am surrounded by snow and it is nice to think about the Caribbean.
