Barbados really is a friendly place to come to because Bajans are very welcoming and helpful. Relocating to a new country as a single/solo traveller can be very daunting because at some point you will be faced with the prospect of making new friends or being very lonely! This video aims to encourage you to be proactive and do your research prior to leaving. Social media is definitely the quickest way to connect with people to get information etc.

In my experience finding friends based on the things you enjoy doing is the easiest way because you immediately have something in common. So if you are planning or thinking of coming to Barbados, for a vacation, work, to relocate or retire, then these tips will help you meet and make new friends.

Shout out to @Chazeen and her video 'WHAT NOT TO DO IN BARBADOS' 'I WISH I KNEW BEFORE BARBADOS' for inspiring me to share my journey.

I truly believe Barbados is a fantastic island for everyone, but especially women who may be looking for the opportunity to start a new chapter in their life in a country that is very welcoming and generally safe. If you are interested in becoming a SEASONAL or PART TIME RETIREE like myself, moving between your homeland and Barbados to....'Get the best of both countries!' then let's connect!

OR, maybe you are a remote worker, digital nomad, long stay vacationer or working towards your retirement in the future? Join me and let's build a community that changes lives. If you are looking to visit Barbados let's connect too.
