Camille Baptiste

Camille Baptiste covers the Caribbean for Always Packed the way islanders actually move through it: island by island, ferry by ferry, festival by festival. Her guides go beyond the resort wall to guesthouses, street food, carnival seasons, and the practical art of island-hopping without losing a day to a missed connection. Camille writes about Creole food cultures with the seriousness they deserve and treats every island as its own country with its own logic, because it is. This profile is an Always Packed editorial desk, a named collection of editors and researchers publishing under a shared beat and voice.
