#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!
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!

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 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 RU-vid

@expatbarbados-jaeophelia
@expatbarbados-jaeophelia 3 месяца назад
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! 💕💖
