Carolee Chanona

Staycation advocate and brunch enthusiast, Carolee brings a creative flair and incurable case of wanderlust to the Caribbean Lifestyle team in her role as Editorial Director. Nature’s bounty on the family farm encouraged her hobby of cooking and the value of using fresh, local Belizean ingredients; this locavorean belief was honed under her 2-year tutelage with Chef Sean Kuylen and the Flavors of Belize team before pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Law at the University of South Florida. Lover of adventure holidays and quiet beachside escapes, Carolee enjoys destinations explored off the beaten path—traversed on oxygen tank or in her handy-dandy hiking boots.
