Hey! Would you like to get some rum? I have enough for everybody! Don’t be shy because rum wasn’t made for the shy ones. It’s a drink for the venturesome and bold people. For the fearless ones. A drink for those who are strong inside and outside. For the adventurers who aren’t afraid of sailing life the way the medieval filibusters were sailing the ocean.
Rum is a luscious and spiced drink. Same like our life. Aged under the hot Caribbean sun and mixed with the rhythms of the drums.
I’m going to treat my guests! With the adventuresome stories about sailing the world. With the luscious sketches about the tropical islands. With the provocative essays about foreign cultures. Along with some secrets about what I’ve been lucky to see, to hear and to live.
Cheers!
