Barbados "Gem of The Caribbean"

The people of the beautiful island of Barbados have made it their goal to teach everyone how to trade in the rush, for a slower, more relaxed pace. The life lesson they wish to teach everyone globally is to have strong, ethical work values, but to remember to take the time to step back and admire all the wonderful things that are around. It has been said that Barbadians are so laid back that they are practically horizontal when they walk, however this does not prevent them from working hard – and they seek to share this life perspective with everyone. The people of Barbados have drawn on their African, West Indian, and English roots in order to create their very own unique heritage, rich with history and exceptional music and cuisine.

            Barbados is home of many historical sites, that are definitely worth a visit, including the Arlington House museum, the Barbados Museum, which was once a military prison, and the Nidhe Israel Synagogue, which has been standing since 1654, as well as many others. With many festivals happening year round, such as the Holetown Festival, celebrating the first settlers, and the Crop Over Festival, lasting five weeks, and so many magnificent beaches and other sites to see, beautiful Barbados, no doubt, attracts many people for many different reasons.
