About the Blog

Joanna E is a Caribbean travel and culture platform focused on island getaways, destination guides, and experiences across the region. Created by award-winning travel and lifestyle writer JoAnna Niles, the blog highlights the beauty, culture, food, and spirit of the Caribbean, designed for busy, working women planning short trips without sacrificing depth or quality.

Drawing from over a decade of travel experience and time spent exploring more than a dozen Caribbean islands, JoAnna E shares travel guides, hotel recommendations, food and drink features, and cultural stories that help readers travel with intention. From Carnival celebrations and UNESCO World Heritage Sites to boutique hotels and island cuisine, the content reflects firsthand experiences and a deep appreciation for Caribbean life beyond the beach.

JoAnna’s work and perspective have been featured in publications including Essence, HuffPost, Travel Noire, and PR Newswire. In addition to editorial content, she has partnered with travel and lifestyle brands such as Bahamas Tourism, ThredUp, Eden BodyWorks, and Walmart to create digital storytelling, written travel guides, and social content that connects with modern travelers.

Outside of the blog, JoAnna works full-time in IT and is the founder of En Voyage Boutique, En Voyage Swim, and Bacchanal Basics. She is passionate about helping Black women make travel a consistent part of their lives, even with demanding schedules, and believes meaningful travel should feel accessible, well-planned, and rooted in culture.
