Discover What Island Life is Really About Island Journeys crisscrosses the globe and explores the real beauty and innovative spark that unites island states and the diasporas that struggle to maintain their connection to their native lands. Whether you come from a country of billions or an island that disappears on a world map, you’ll find invaluable insights for understanding the world you live in, including how to: • Stay close to your roots, whether you are in your homeland or working far away. • Embrace common bonds and preserve what is important amidst rapidly changing cultural, economic, and geographic environments. • Make a world of difference by being yourself. Sometimes unexpected people from the smallest islands can touch the world. Let Carlisle Richardson, an islander and economic affairs officer for the United Nations, share decades of stories and discoveries from islands around the world to help him establish the Island Foundation, an organization that aims to promote education, the arts, sports, and innovation while preserving island culture and heritage.
CARLISLE RICHARDSON grew up on St. Kitts and Nevis in the Caribbean and earned degrees in Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, and the United Kingdom before joining the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and being posted to the Permanent Mission of St. Kitts and Nevis to the United Nations. In 2011, Carlisle joined the United Nations and worked in the Division for Sustainable Development, where he was a key figure in the work on small island developing states issues. He continues his mission today as an economic affairs officer for the United Nations in New York, where he lives with his wife and daughter.
