While the first snow is falling on the Swiss mountain tops this week, a lot of Caribbean is on my mind this week. Ofcourse hurricane #dorian is one of the main reasons because of this, especially now connection has been made with the survivors and the dispair is seen in their eyes and heard in their voices. Videos of people being pulled out of attics while waterlevels are until the second floor, god that must leave a mark.
But other issues are coming up on the background in the Caribbean, things here often on the mainland we aren't considering, but which are extremely important to small local economies. The potential drama which come when Brexit reaches Britisch territory Caribbean island like Anguilla, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Montserrat, and the Turks and Caicos Islands. What will happen to these small islands when Brexit hits here?

I ran into this documentary today about Anguilla and the Brexit, something they all there are hoping which will not through. Anguilla is one of the neighbouring islands of Sint Martin which is French and Dutch territory. Anguilla is British and this could mean that when the Brexit is there, that travelling, businness, shipping just might get a whole lot more complicated. One of the reasons is because Anguilla is so dependent of the airport and harbour of Sint Martin and with this potentially changing, how many tourists will still take the leap of going to Anguilla...an island which economy is almost fully dependent on tourism
