I appreciate this tour. My maternal grandfather is from Barbados. In my quest to relocate I had not considered the island until watching this. However, now Barbados is a possibility. Much thanks.

[@expatbarbados-jaeophelia]

Thank you for watching and commenting too, I really appreciate it. It’s definitely worth considering in your quest to relocate. 😊

I was just sent this link. Excellent guide. This is one of my favourite areas and I’m overjoyed at how it has been sympathetically restored over recent years.

I was just in Barbados and visited the PRC bakery. Great breads, great prices. So sorry I didn't buy raisin bread to take back with me to the states. Speighstown is where I would retire...loooove it there.

Hi Maxmax, so excited to hear this! I loooove Speightstown too! 💕🏝️☀️So glad you enjoyed your trip and visited the bakery too! Yes we often take salt bread and raisin slices for friends & family 😋😋😋

[@mariahamnett1761]

New subscriber. Fantastic vlog I felt as though I was there with you. I agree with you about PAC bakery absolutely delicious sweet delicacies and so fresh. A favourite of mine are the “coconut turnovers”. Speightstown is so scenic and tranquil and some of the old buildings simply stunning. Shall definitely visit some of those eateries the next time I return. With all the planned developments for the area I really hope the beautiful ambience of Speightstown doesn’t lose its beauty.

I've spent months researching, watching snd studying about Plan B and Snowbird locations. I have come to the conclusion that Barbados is THE place between the US and Uruguay, which is too far away.

[@expatbarbados-jaeophelia]

Lovely to hear from you again @dovy Great news! 🤩🇧🇧🏝️

[@latoyaconner2704]

I’m in Barbados now looking to relocate in a few years I need some suggestions on must sees 😩😩😩❤❤

[@expatbarbados-jaeophelia]

Hi Latoya, I would definitely check out the different coastlines first to see if you prefer the north coast east coastlines which are more rugged and then the west and south coast for Caribbean Sea and calmer waters great for swimming. Or do you prefer the interiors with cool breezes and views onto coastal areas.Eg the parish of St Andrew, Must sees for me are the towns - Bridgetown Holetown and Speightstown and definitely Bathsheba, North Point and the parish of St Philip near Crane Beach hotel. Hope that helps. Sorry for delay in getting back to you. Just getting connected with regular broadband at home! 💕💖

[@Christopher-sj2sc]

I love your videos, can't believe you're old enough to retire you only look like you've just finished your paper round!!!!! I suppose the question on everybody's lips is detail about how much you need to live there. I have no concept is £1,000, £2,000 or £5,000 needed if you want to comfortably retire there? Perhaps you could do a video with a monthly breakdown of all the costs. These sorts of things are immensely popular on KZbin

[@expatbarbados-jaeophelia]

Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Will look into this thank you. I do remember paper rounds!😂 You’re bringing back memories!

Hi Jae. Would there be any particular preference of either Speightstown or Holetown for the first time visitors looking for a quiet location but near amenities and conveniences??

Hi Dovy, good to hear from you. I would say Holetown if you prefer variety and everything close by, including lively nightlife. You can get to Speightstown and Bridgetown easily by bus from Holetown🏝️☀️

@@expatbarbados-jaeophelia Thanks, Jae. Nightlife isn't a big deal for us. Just a relaxing, quiet introductory visit. We were even thinking that for such a maiden visit we'd hire a touring driver to show us around and to familiarize us. I am hoping in January or February for sure.
