Enjoy with me off the beaten track places, meet other locals and immerse yourself in " de Bajan culture". Areas of interest/specialty: **Barbados heritage & history **Local flora & fauna **Local geology ** WATCH MY MOVIE, "The Bearded Fig Tree Story" ** My keen interest in Barbados' natural, cultural and built heritage, led to a desire to share these Barbadian treasures. Experience Barbados' sights, sounds, people and more by foot and or vehicle as I interpret our culture, like our car horn language and varied forms of greeting. It's amazing how this island was formed, and how Barbadians lived long ago, and why there are many scores of Barbadian centenarians. In fact, Barbados ranks second to Japan for the highest percentage of 90+ year old persons. I have led walking tours and hikes throughout Barbados' 11 parishes, for the young and the young at heart and you will discover that I am knowledgeable across a wide range of areas relating to our local flora, fauna, Barbados' geology, history, heritage, culture and the interrelationships among the above, leading to the uniqueness of our Barbadian people.
