Hey Guys! My name is Sophie, I have been to Barbados twice before -once alone for a trip (Unfortunately my friends can't really come due to costs of the trip) but I really love the place and I was lucky to meet some great people out there last time and did some great adventure tours.

Always wanted to go to Crop Over so I am going this year also, I was wondering if anyone else would be out there who wouldn't mind me joining them for the Carnival and parties!
I'm 20, Friendly, Easy going...
Anyways, Please let me know :D

Hi, We are from Canada and plan to travel to Barbados in May 1 - 7. It will be a trip to relax and enjoy the beaches, tours to the local towns etc. Pretty much to get away from the city life. We haven't pick an area yet and would like some info. 1) Which is a good/baby friendly area to stay? 2) Suggestion to Hotel/Apartment with a kitchen and/or with daycare facility? (The reason is to make meals, warm up milk for the baby etc) 3) Should we rent a car or using taxi/public transportation 4) Any suggestions of activities? thanks Patrick

Hey everyone, I won two round-trip tickets to anywhere in North America/The Carribean and I think I may bring my brother to Barbados. I'm 29, he's 27. We're from Montreal so we're used to a pretty good nightlife, and I was wondering if there is enough of that to last us a week (I really am not too familiar with the island). Also, I'd love to rent a car and explore the island, how many days would it take, approximately, to cover the entire thing? I've driven on the left before (in Bermuda, Jamaica and Australia) so no problems there. Are there a lot of opportunities to hike? We're not huge fans of surfing or diving so we'd be staying on the mainland mostly.

Should we rent a car in Barbados?
