…or so it seems. Unfair, I know but everywhere I turn I’m bombarded by old white retirees. I haven’t watched an official Bajan tourism video but methinks they need to do a better job at attracting the younger folks…or maybe I’m just an old soul preferring activities that they would partake in. Speaking of the […]
Watersports in Barbados
Thursday saw me without any pre-made plans. I headed over to the Dover Beach Hotel/Turtle Beach Resort area to take advantage of the discount Captain Sam had offered me on a 30 minute water-sport when I run into him on Monday. He had me sit in his shack while he sorted his crew out as […]
Bajan Roots and Rhythms Show
The eve of the fourth anniversary of my 28th birthday was spent at The Plantation Theatre not far from where I was staying. Free alcohol (I had two rum punches and that was enough for me), a Bajan dinner (ok) with a live steel band playing while we ate, and a cultural show. They […]
Ziplining in Jack-in-the-Box Gully
I spent the 4th anniversary of my 28th birthday ziplining with Aerial Trek in the middle of Barbados. My reservation was at noon and I was to find my own way there – to Jack-in-the-Box Gully. I thought it would be easy peasy, but I was wrong. What is a gully anyway? The owner of […]
Crabs on the rocks
The first thing I noticed when I wandered onto Dover Beach the other day were the holes in the sand. Ok, that’s a lie. The actual first thing was the clear blue sea, then the sandy white beach. But the holes in the sand immediately caught my eye. They reminded me of crab holes in […]
Jammin’ n cruising
I had booked a catamaran cruise with Jammin’, specifically their Sun Blast cruise. It seemed it would be a fun cruise from their website. However, the owner of the apartment I was staying in told me that it was usually crowded (hence it’s name ha ha) and that I should have gone with Cool Runnings […]
Initial thoughts in Barbados
I woke up at an ungodly hour to fly out of DC to make my connection flight in Miami to Bridgetown, Barbados. Needless to say, I spent a significant amount of time on the plane catching up on sleep. But I did wake up now and then to take these beautiful shots. It took me […]
Woah! I’m going to Barbados!
This year I have decided to tolerate the cold and snow by enjoying it. Im taking snowboarding lessons and whilst i have fallen on my bum and gnashed my teeth more often than I can count, I’ve had fun. I’ve even indulged in bison burgers in my bid to try new things. However, I refuse […]
Mount Entoto, Menelik Museum & Maryam Church
Waking up Saturday was quite painful. I dreamt of balls hitting the crossbar and Asamoah Gyan crying his heart out. He certainly gained sympathy points for that one. We are all still in shock, to say the least. My father has decided to take me to Entoto Mountain to make up for my being shacked […]
Ghana Lost!
I’m in pain not because Ghana lost but because of how they lost. I will admit that like others I thought our chances in this World Cup were slim when it was announced that Essien was not yet ready to play for us. I was energized by that first win against Serbia and started to […]
A lover of mangoes. A woman - smart, without pretense, lefthanded, Afropolitan - navigating this thing called life. An unapologetic believer in social justice and karma. Choosing to radiate positive energy and be true to myself. Here, my musings.
