From the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong to the tranquillity of the Caribbean sea

03 May 2024

After years of having the luxury of endless choices of takeouts, and the abundance of high-end and budget shopping, dining and bars at my doorstep, I finally decided to say goodbye to Hong Kong and moved to Harneys’ Cayman Islands office in 2022. Looking back now, I cannot believe how much my life has changed.

Without all the late-night temptations, I became an early riser. The best thing about living in the Cayman Islands, other than not having to file any tax return, is to walk my dog around the North Sound Golf Club early in the morning and watch the most breathtaking sunrise.

Though not as connected as Hong Kong, Grand Cayman is just a short flight away from Miami, and there are direct flights to many major cities in the US including New York, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Denver and Los Angeles. From there, one can easily travel to Central and South America and the rest of the world. Since I moved to the Cayman Islands, I have ticked off many of my bucket list experiences, camping in the Grand Canyon, diving in Galapagos, surviving on the survivor island in Panama and cave diving in Bahamas. There will be more to come.

There are many community events in the Cayman Islands. Even the introverted me gets to be a part. From puppy rodeo organised by the local animal shelter to theatre performance organised by local dance studios. There is never a dull weekend.

Last but not the least, Cayman Islands is warm all year long. It is a dream for all the outdoor lovers. If you cannot find me in the office, you can spot me flying through the monkey bars at the calisthenics park or dangling on gymnastics rings in one of the cabanas at public beach.

While occasionally missing the convenience that Hong Kong offers, now I cannot see myself living anywhere else. I would highly recommend anyone considering a move to the Cayman Islands to come and experience the amazing island life.
