St. Martin: The Friendly (Foodie) Island
Dubbed “The Friendly Island,” St. Martin/St Maarten is world’s smallest dual-nation island. Its 34 square miles are split between France (Saint Martin) and Netherlands (Sint Maarten). The Netherlands side lends itself to a more touristy/party atmosphere; the French side insists it has better beaches and cuisine, and it’s the side known to host celebrities.

We wanted something to look forward to, so we booked a trip.
