Carolina Ansaldo

Lifestyle & Portrait Photographer caroansaldo.com

Originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina, Carolina moved to the BVI in 2016 with her husband and son. Living surrounded by the ocean, by different tones of blues, greens and the most beautiful rainbows, was a blessing to help the family begin smiling again; after the loss of their 7-year old daughter.

For her, photography is about connecting with the beauty of the now, capturing souls, stories, magical places, special moments and emotions. She strongly believes in the phrase “Collect moments, not things.” Collect experiences, hugs, love, joy and smiles. Collect pictures and keep those memories alive.

Carolina has photographed for different brands, businesses and exclusive resorts in the British Virgin Islands. She also has a degree in Public Relations and Human Resources. VIPY is very proud to feature her beautiful work.

Power To Go… Fast

Highfield RIBs are exclusive to Mike’s Marine in the British Virgin Islands.

RIB (rigid hull inflatable boat) is the perfect vessel for leisure, water sports and small commercial use in the BVI. RIBs make island-hopping between our islands fast and fun and docking a breeze.

Featuring powder-coated aluminum hulls, the Highfield RIBs, originally designed to handle the tough conditions found along the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, are renowned for their durability and performance.

Mike’s Marine carries the entire Highfield range from tenders to classic console, deluxe sport right through to patrol RIBs.

Yet another benefit of purchasing from Mike’s Marine is their full warranty and Tortola-based sales, parts and service by their onsite marine technicians. As the BVI’s exclusive Honda Marine dealer, Mike has all the know-how.

Mike’s Marine is located at Bird Point, Road Town (opposite VISAR). Call Captain Mike Hallett on (284) 494 4000 (office), (284) 496 0301 (WhatsApp) or email mike@mikesmarinebvi.com to learn more about his exclusive range of Highfield RIBs.

Say NO to GMOs!

New at Grape Expectations is the all-natural Sakura Pork range. There is no use of antibiotics or animal byproducts fed to the animals and they are non-GMOs, which is why Grape Expectations prefer to name the farms they purchase from.

Sakura Pork is a premium pork line brought to you by Heritage Berkshire. The goal of this high-quality farm has always been to create and market the world’s best pork.

It all starts with Heritage breed hogs. The hogs are fed a vegetarian diet of corn and soy meal without the use of growth promoters, hormones or unnecessary fillers.

The animals are selected from a network of hand-picked Midwestern family farms owned by Sakura Pork. This allows Heritage Berkshire to monitor and enforce strict quality control guidelines, which include humanely raised pork in a climatecontrolled environment.

All this ensures the highest level of meat quality which is evidenced by the rich, red colour and marbling, resulting in a tender and juicy cut of pork that is superior in every way.

Grape Expectations is located at Bird Point, Road Town (opposite VISAR). Open Monday to Saturday, 9 am to 5 pm. Order online at: grapeexpectationsbvi. com. Call/WhatsApp (284) 346 9463, or email provisioning@ grapeexpectationsbvi.com to place your orders or discuss special requests with Nigel. Delivery throughout the BVI.
