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.
Expat Barbados is looking to create a wonderful community 🏝️with people who want to start putting themselves first and living the life they always dreamed of but never thought possible!

Yes it’s been a fantastic experience getting to know the island it’s history and culture but especially the people! Thank you for your support! 💕 You will love Barbados 🇧🇧
Absolutely fantastic and useful information for ex- pats and anyone new to Barbados. Might be slightly Bias, but totally agree the “Locals” are a minefield of information, and love the opportunity to converse with tourists. Unfortunately, in this social media driven world it’s often overlooked that not everyone is on social media for whatever reason, so miss out on useful information, and connecting with others may be difficult. Barbados is truly an idyllic paradise and as someone who made their first visit in the early 1980’s to visit my parents place of birth it is so wonderful to see the ever evolving and wonderful changes occurring. Such a shame I didn’t get to meet up with you whilst I was in Barbados recently. But hopefully in the future. The Walking group looks like a fabulous activity, and I would love to participate when next in Barbados, hopefully there are other groups on the South Coast also. Looking forward to more vlogs. ❤🇬🇧

@@expatbarbados-jaeopheliaThat sounds good. So if I’m vacationing in Barbados again around February or March that means you’ll probably be there. If you’re putting together a meetup I’d love to attend. I plan on meeting up with a couple of KZread people when I go in just over a month.
Great tips!

Thanks for these tips! During your winter Bird years did you find it better to rent a car or did you catch the bus/taxi to get around?
@expatbarbados-jaeophelia

In the past I was lucky because my sister and brother in law drive. Now I tend to get the bus mainly and taxis if I am going somewhere dressy. But once you join a community you find people will offer you a lift and you can just contribute to the gas. But it is cheaper if you are coming for a few weeks to hire a car. It’s just more convenient. Hope that helps you.💕🏝️☀️
