Thanks for this comparison as I’ve been looking at places I could go when I get my Jamaican citizenship and these were the top two CARICOM countries. I love to travel and I think that your comment about easy travel to other spots nearby in Mexico would make a big difference. I already travel throughout Mexico frequently and it did seem like the cost of living in Barbados was considerably higher than I expected. Thank you! Love your videos

Wages everywhere are always seemingly behind the cost of living. The trick is to live within your means. Like I'm not eating out every night, I don't have every cable channel, when I know I'm not sitting home watching TV; by the time I get home is to prepare a meal and myself for the next day. The food thing is strange, since I wanted to believe there was a big influx of norther South Americans (Guyanese) in Barbados and I'd have thought they'd have brought with them some of their culinary diversity. But you're right, them Bajans might be a little stuck on themselves. I have some relatives from there and so they stay.

You’re so right! Living within your means is important in a city or country that has a high cost of living. I’d also add look for specials, discounts and limited offers cuz those help too.

Depending what you are planning for your future career Barbados is limited for employment. Tourism is/was a big island revenue but Covid has kiboshed that. The ambitious have emigrated to somewhere in Europe for better employment prospects.. Depending what your degree is? My boys who are in their late 20's wouldn't live nor work here both have good careers, nightlife almost non-existence for young people, but it's great for a holiday chill out and the slow pace of life is a welcome recharging of batteries they said.

Hello new subscriber here. Watched one of your vlogs where you spoke about chronic lower back pain (sciatica). Just FYI prolong sitting can cause the hips to widen (open up) in men and women causing the sciatic nerve to become compressed. Here’s what my doctor recommended and prescribed me a sciatic belt along with hip strengthening exercises. The sciatica belt not only relived the pain in a short period of time, but also negated needing any pain relievers. If you can’t get one from your pharmacist, they sell them online as well. Hope that this helps. Keep creating a great day for others😊

I think the african influence in afro bajan culture is actually quite big, I would say it‘s not less than the british influence although of course the language is an english based creole.

Btw Barbados also has some natives called the lokono. They came in the 1900 from guyana because most of the natives in Barbados either got killed, fled to bigger islands or intermixed with the black population very early in history
@jamierocke3 жыл бұрын
Thats interesting. I don't doubt that there are different ethnicities living in Barbados. The point I was making about Barbados is that the other ethnicities make up a very tiny percentage of the population. Over 90% of the population is predominantly black. So there isn't a lot of diversity.

@@listenup2882 Yes when the british arrived. However, there were natives on Barbados before that, that have been captured by the spanish, and there have been natives after the british settled on Barbados. 1. The british settlers took indigenous people from guyana that were familiar with the agriculture on the island to help them cultivate the land and 2. The family of Princess Marian who came from Guyana about 1900. Even in old diaries of english travelers who traveled the lesser antilles around the 1700‘s during the time of colonization, a few native people habe been noted, of course not nearly as many as in Dominica or St Vincent

Totally agree with the cultural aspect. I personally find that bajans are not as patriotic and proud of our culture like Jamaicans, Trinis or Guyanese . Bajans tends to be very enamoured with American culture which is sad seeing that the culture is quite rich.

In North America most of the islands have their culture on full display all the time and they rep proudly for their country and people. The amount of negative things I hear bajans say publicly about Rihanna makes me sad as other islands defend their own no matter what . Just a lot of things l notice especially when l compare Barbados to my dads country of Jamaica. Totally different type of island pride and defending.
