McCool Travel is excited to present interviews with travel industry giants, super frequent travelers, and adventurous persons.
For the sixth profile, I am thrilled to present Peta Phipps, the publisher of Caribbean Living magazine. Peta has a dream job. Her upcoming schedule includes hosting celebrity meet-and-greet events at the Super Bowl, Grammy Awards, NBA All-Star game, and Academy Awards. When Peta is not rubbing elbows with glitterati, she travels around the Caribbean. See what I mean about the dream job! Peta’s hometown is Discovery Bay, Jamaica and she currently lives in South Florida. Peta and I shared tropical drinks at an outdoor bar this past October and she recently shared these responses with me.

Great interview! I could go for some roadside coconut right now!
Yes, Steph, I know what you mean. I am surrounded by snow and it is nice to think about the Caribbean.
