Autorenporträt

Paul Crask is a writer, independent magazine designer and publisher, and documentary photographer who has lived in Dominica since 2005. Since then, he has researched and written four editions of Bradt's Dominica guide, has created and published a dozen printed and digital magazines about the island (including Dominica Traveller), and has written scores of freelance articles for regional and international press. An enthusiastic hiker and a professionally qualified scuba diver, Crask is addicted to travel and exploration, through which he has worked intimately with Dominica's Kalinago people, and with hoteliers, restaurateurs, and tour operators island wide. His in-depth knowledge of all things Dominica – from history and culture to the more obscure hinterland tracks of the island's forested interior – make him a go-to source of information for independent travellers. Crask has also written about many other islands in the eastern Caribbean, including authoring Bradt's Grenada, Carriacou & Petite Martinique.
