“I started My Rum Diaries to share my love of rum with anyone willing to raise a glass and explore its rich history and craft.”

Hi, I’m Nia, a Certified Master Rummelier® born in Ecuador, raised on Florida sunshine, and perpetually chasing the next great rum.
I started My Rum Diaries to share my love of rum with anyone willing to raise a glass and explore its rich history and artisanal craft. I couldn’t stop talking about it and figured someone out there felt the same. Weekends you’ll find me posting rum reviews and travel stories from the distilleries, islands, and hidden corners of the rum world. When I’m not behind a camera or swirling a glass, I’m at the beach with one of my rescue dogs, probably dressed as a pirate.
Let’s find your perfect rum!
