#barbados #retirement #midlifewomen In this video I share my TOP 5 REASONS WHY I LOVE SPEIGHTSTOWN & WHY YOU NEED TO CHECK IT OUT! So if you are planning or thinking of coming to Barbados, for a vacation/holiday, work, to relocate or retire, then this video will help prepare you for what will be an amazing time in Barbados. Speightstown is in the parish of St Peter on the WEST COAST, it has so much to offer from its warm, friendly entrepreneurial people, its uniquely rustic charm, its pastel colored buildings, and its stunning natural coastline and beaches. It's still small enough so you can easily walk and enjoy its hidden treasures whilst still being able to see the sea. Speightstown gives you history and a step back in time, whilst at the same time the refurbishments to the jetty and other colonial style buildings, illustrates the desire to retain its own unique charm.

Shout out to @Chazeen and her video 'WHY I MOVED TO BARBADOS' for inspiring me to make this video from my perspective.

You are welcome to check out my timestamps if you are pressed for time but if not sit back and enjoy the colorful explosion of photos and video clips which give a little glimpse into my expat life in Barbados right now!

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!
