Barbados Travel
If you're heading to the island, you've probably already spent hours online warming up for what I like to call the Olympic triple jump:

You know, I've always wanted to see a site that reveals the secret spots that would make it fun and easy to visit my home.
I grew up minutes from Bridgetown and get a kick out of showing off the island. Read more on my inspiration for this guide.
Hang around a bit. You will find my handpicked selections of the best places to stay, the most memorable things to do, and a few little tips in between.
For a location to be featured, I have either visited myself, or received enough raving personal reviews from visitors like you.
So, if
you're looking for a site that is run by someone who knows
that it takes far more than a tourist brochure and a list of hotels to
plan an amazing vacation, you've found your spot!

I admit to being a bit picky when I travel. I don't have to stay at the finest villas or eat at the priciest restaurants though.
I'm happy to find locations that put a smile on my face and meet people that make me laugh.

Growing up my friends and I lived this
beautiful Barbados island to the
fullest. We
swam the white-sand beaches, soaked up the amazing nightlife, lounged
at the most relaxing beach-bars and restaurants, hiked and explored the
cave systems
and nature
reserves...
We did it all!
I
poured all my experiences and passion for the island into this site.
Take your time exploring it because
it will help you plan a fun vacation. You’ll find personal Barbados travel
