My name is Paul Crask. I am a freelance writer for newspapers, magazines and travel books.
I work from my adopted home, the island of Dominica in the eastern Caribbean. Dominica travel, Grenada travel, travel writer, travel guide

Work in 2012

I’ve finished writing the second edition of the Bradt Guide to Grenada, Carriacou & Petite Martinique – just the edits left to do. It will be published in July. The second edition of the Bradt Guide to Dominica is out now. You can buy it by clicking on any of the book shop links at the foot of the page or directly from Bradt Travel Guides. I’ve updated the Dominica Cruise Passenger Handbook for Kindle, which is available for download, and I’ve written a couple of chapters of the new Michelin Caribbean ‘Like A Local’ which is due out in April. I’ve released the first volume of Dominica Journals, an experimental project about nature and life in Dominica, and I’m doing some freelance work for the Guardian newspaper, Caribbean Beat magazine, and other publications.

About me

Born in England, I grew up in Yorkshire and studied at Leeds University. I’ve always had the travel bug and have backpacked my way around the world twice. I’ve lived, studied and worked in former communist East Germany (1986 – Karl Marx University, Leipzig), former West Germany (1 year), Japan (2 years) and now I’m in the Caribbean. My wife, Celia, was born in Dominica and, in 2005, we decided to drop out, leave the UK, and move here for a complete lifestyle change.

I specialise in travel and documentary work and regularly write about and photograph Dominica, Grenada, and other islands of the eastern Caribbean.
