Hey! I’m Audrey

My Bicoastal Journey

The moment my plane touched down in New York, I felt something unexpected—a sense of joy and belonging, as powerful as the emotions I felt when landing in Roatan. It was my first trip back to New York after spending the longest stretch of time in Roatan since moving there in 2011. That moment solidified what I had been feeling for years: my heart belongs to both places, and a bicoastal lifestyle was not just a dream for me—it was a necessity.

My name is Audrey Flores, and my journey is deeply rooted in two places that have shaped me: Brooklyn, New York, where I was born and raised, and Roatan, the small island off the coast of Honduras that my family calls home. Growing up Garifuna, my parents made sure my siblings and I stayed connected to our heritage through annual trips to Roatan. But in 2011, after graduating college, I made the life-changing decision to live there full-time. I immersed myself in the community, managed my parents’ business with my sister, and eventually helped turn it into a cultural center that celebrated Garifuna history and identity.

Over the years, I’ve learned the beauty and challenges of living between two worlds. Watching people from the U.S. create thriving part-time lives in Roatan while natives struggled to spend even two weeks there taught me an important lesson: living bicoastally is possible—but it requires intention, planning, and creativity. As a mother of three and someone who has navigated both the highs and lows of this lifestyle, I’m passionate about helping others create a sustainable plan to embrace the best of both worlds. My journey hasn’t always been easy, but it’s led me to my purpose: helping you design a life that works on both sides of where you call home.
