Susanna Henighan never imagined she would settle in the Virgin Islands. Born in Tennessee and raised in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, she packed her bags after graduating from Oberlin College and headed to a cluster of tiny dots in the middle of the Caribbean Sea: the Virgin Islands. Susanna began her journalism career at the BVI Beacon, a weekly newspaper based in Road Town, Tortola, where she covered everything from regattas to local trials. Later, after a stint with the Virgin Islands Daily News in St. Thomas, Susanna moved back to Tortola to edit the weekly BVI StandPoint. She began filing reports for the Associated Press on topics ranging from international finance to the installation of the first traffic light in the British Virgin Islands.

In between writing stories, Susanna fell in love with the islands. She learned to snorkel, went on weekend camping trips, and got used to driving on the left-hand side of the road. She started to read history books about the islands and learned how to make a piña colada. This guidebook reflects her experience both as an insider and outsider — she lives like a local, but has not forgotten her first glimpse of the islands from the window of a small commuter airplane in 1999.

Since 2003, Susanna has been working for the government of the British Virgin Islands as a communications officer. She currently lives with her husband on Tortola.
