The Name

17North 88West or 17N88W

17°00'00.0"N 88°00'00.0"W marks a specific spot on the map—a place where I envision living a slower, more intentional life. It’s more than a destination; it’s a commitment to savoring the moment, valuing relationships over the rush of productivity, and supporting the community in ways that truly matter.

As I work toward my dream of The "Unreasonable Hospitality" forward business,  boutique hotel or resort etc. in Belize, I’m blending my love of hospitality and creativity with my passion for tropical living. 17N88W Trading Company is my way of sharing that vision and helping others express their own tropical passions and Caribbean attitudes.
