Describe your cultural background: the different cultural influences on you when you were growing up. How have they shaped who you are now?:

Barbados is a place that has a lot of culture, we a generally regarded as being laid back and easy going, which is true for the most part. The pace of life is quite slow compared to many other parts of the world, but that's the way I like it.

How do you discover more about (or keep up to date with) your culture? For example: online forums, newspapers, magazines etc.:

My culture is all around me every single day and being such a small Island there is always something to remind me of how unique my culture is, the food, the pace of life and of course the weather, which makes the Island one of the most beautiful places in the world.

How do the answers above combine to create your culture? For example: describe yourself as though you were talking to a stranger from a different culture, or describe a typical day or week for you.:

My Culture is Bajan through and through. I was born and brought up in Barbados, I have travelled a little in my time but i always come home to Barbados, it's where I feel most alive, the place, the people and the food all make me who and what I am.

What practices or events do you take part in that are part of your culture? For example: services, meetings etc.:

Services, well that leads me straight in to the church, of which I am a willing member, my religion and my culture are equally important as each other and like my religion and my culture, I treat them with love and respect and welcome the things they provide me with on a daily basis.

What parts of your everyday life reflect your culture? For example: the clothes you wear, the food you eat, the music you listen to etc.:

The clothes I wear are mainly casual unless I'm at work then it's formal. The heat dictates that the level of clothing is smart but minimal. Music, that would have to be my beloved Soca, the Islands favourite music. As for the food i eat, I'm big on fish and with the sea being so close, there is plenty of fresh fish to be had, Red Snapper, Dolphin and flying fish.
