Likkle Piece of YLAI
Hello, fellow adventurers! I’m Leeza, the founder of Arubana Retreat and a proud YLAI 2025 fellow. As I journey through the transformative experience of YLAI, I wanted to create something special, a way for me to share my roots and my passion for sustainable tourism with all of you. Likkle Piece of YLAI is my personal initiative designed to introduce you to the vibrant spirit of St. Vincent, and to spark meaningful connections along the way.
About Arubana Retreat & My Vision
At Arubana Retreat, we’re reimagining the future of tourism. Our goal is to create experiences that give back to our country, not take from it. Here’s what we stand for:
​
-
Self-Sufficiency: Produce our own food and generate our own electricity using renewable energy.
-
Eco-Friendly Practices: Every structure built with renewable materials, ensuring we grow sustainably.
-
Community Empowerment: By partnering with local businesses, small farms, and creative entrepreneurs, we foster an ecosystem where everyone can learn, teach, and grow together.
​
This commitment to sustainability isn’t just business, it’s a lifestyle and a movement for a better, more responsible way of experiencing the world.
What is Likkle Piece of Vincy?
Likkle Piece of YLAI is a curated box filled with little treasures from St. Vincent, each item representing a facet of our culture, our traditions, and our innovative spirit. This personal gift is my way of sharing a piece of home with you, as we embark on this journey together.
​
-
A Touch of Culture: Discover tokens that capture the flavors, colors, and stories of my homeland.
-
A Connection to Our Roots: Each piece is a reminder of the rich heritage that fuels my passion for sustainable tourism.
-
An Invitation to Collaborate: As we share our stories and experiences, I hope we can build lasting relationships that inspire and empower us all.
