  • 27 - Gardens in Barbados: visiting Hunte's gardens, the "most enchanting attraction" in Barbados.

    There's nothing like a walk around the gardens to get your head right...especially when the garden's on a Bajan paradise island....

    Want to hear the full length conversation with Anthony Hunte?

    Scroll down for the link!

    Yvonne's been busy over the past few weeks.

    She's faced PCR testing and quarantine dramas.. but thankfully she's also enjoyed a bit more quality time with The Crane hotel.

    Thankfully, this episode should brighten your day.

    It's mostly about a trip to a beautiful graden. Hunte's Gardens to be precise.

    During the episode, you'll hear how Yvonne got to make a visit to the gardens, before sitting down with the man himself, Mr Anthony Hunte!

    So, did she enjoy her garden visit?

    Did she spot some wildlife?

  • 26 - Golf in Barbados: hitting the links and golfing in style on a paradise island

    Fore! We're talking all about golf in Barbados!

    What's been happening this week?

    Yvonne's been dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Elsa!

    Click here to watch the video she took of it.

    We begin with an update on the huge storm that plunged the caribbean into chaos during the past couple of weeks.

    This episode features an activity that should have been a few episodes earlier, but.... ash cloud!

    Yvonne takes a golf lesson at Apes Hill with the incredibly charismatic Sean Edey. No spoilers, but although she's not exactly an experienced golfer, she did a great job considering!

    Have a listen to hear how she got on.

    Yvonne also managed to sit down with Apes Hill's Kim Goddard to find out more about how the resort fits in with the golfing community of the Bajan island.

  • 25 - Vegan in Barbados: Plant-based eating on a paradise island

    Are you Hungry Barbados? We have the vegan plant-based solutions for you right here.

    What's been happening this week?

    Yvonne's had a crazy weather week. Hear all about Hurricane Elsa! Also, some developments in terms of travel from the UK!

    She's been enjoying some live music, with Sonny Meraki and Jon Banfield which you'll hear on the podcast episode!

    This episode is the launch of a series of food and drink themed episodes we're putting together in collaboration with the brilliant Hungry Barbados.

    In this episode I explain more about who Hungry Barbados are as well as talk to some people who are very much involved in the vegan and plant-based offerings here on the paradise island.

    Eco Lodge

    A number of episodes ago I chatted with Kyle Taylor from Eco Lifestyle and Lodge about their boutique hotel with a focus on sustainability. I was desperate to try their food, and now I have!

    So, for this episode I spoke with Alisha Stoute, Executive Chef at ECO Lifestyle and Lodge!

    Yummy Mummies

    Do you remember back in a previous episode, I talked about a food delivery that I got from Yummy Mummies? 

    Well, I decided to catch up with Ann Marie Leach for this episode and we get into a chat about options for high quality plant based food, whether you're on a self-catering holiday or living on the island.

    I also run down a number of other options for vegan friendly dishes!

  • 24 - Diving in Barbados: a day checking out wrecks, reefs and sea life!

    Barbados has some of the best diving opportunity in the world

    If you're a regular listener to Life in Barbados, you'll know that the paradise island is blessed with some quite magnificent ocean and sea life.

    One of my favourite things to do is diving, so I was grateful to be able to experience what the Bajans have to offer on that front.

     

    It was World Ocean Day last week. I took advantage of a dive to get up close and person with some Lion Fish thanks to High Tide - https://www.divehightide.com/

    I also joined my friends for some diving with Barbados Blue - https://www.divebarbadosblue.com

    The wonderful Kiera was really great with them, and trained them in a swimming pool first.

    She was really helpful and friendly, and talked them through some of the safety aspects like 'equalising' in a really clear way.

    Hear the full length chat with diving instructor Kiera.
