Your Barbados, Planned

You’ve decided to go. Let’s decide the rest.

An hour with me, then your trip written down: where you’ll stay, how you’ll get around, things to do, and what it all costs.

Book for one · $150 Book for two or more · $210

Barbados only, for Crop Over or any other time of year. Trips up to seven nights.

Barbados is my favorite place in the world. It felt like home the first time I landed.

Stephanie, Founder

When you’ve never been to Barbados, every part of the trip is a question. The more you research, the harder it gets, because most of it looks worth doing and it won’t all fit in one trip. What you can’t find online is exactly what’s right for you. You don’t have to figure that out on your own. I’ll make recommendations based on your preferences, and the decisions stay yours. Once it’s planned, it’s just something to look forward to.

A sample day

Here’s what one day looks like in a Crop Over plan.

  1. 2am to 8am

    Neon Carnival Jouvert (Foreday Morning)

    Paint and powder party till dawn, and the party continues after that. Wear swimwear, shorts, comfortable shoes, anything you don’t mind ruining with paint. Take trash bags to put on the car seats after the party.

  2. Rest at your place

  3. 3pm

    Bridgetown Market

    Souvenir shopping and lunch.

  4. 8pm

    Lost in Paradise

    Drink-inclusive fete, beautiful decor, dress to impress.

  5. Where to eat

    Uncle George, Oistins · Seafood Shack · Just Grillin Quayside · Irie Foods

How it works

  1. You answer a few questions when you book

    I’ll ask about your dates, your budget, who’s coming, what you’ve already booked, and what you want out of it.

  2. I research your trip specifically, before we ever speak

    I go and look at what’s actually available for your dates, your budget and the people you’re traveling with.

  3. We talk for an hour

    I bring my recommendations, and the other options if you want to see them. You make the final calls.

  4. Your written plan lands within 48 hours of our call

    Your trip, written down, with the links you’ll need.

My third country

I learned about Barbados when I was eleven, living in Nigeria, because of my love for Rihanna. I finally got to visit in 2020, and the first thing my driver asked me was, “Are you Bajan?”

I’m not. I’m Nigerian American, and Barbados reminds me so much of Nigeria: from the airport, to the bougainvillea flowers, to the roosters crowing in the morning. When you talk to people there, it feels like they get you. I call it my third country.

I’ve been back multiple times since, and I’m constantly learning about Barbados and its culture. I’m also a Barbados Elite Club specialist.

I want to share Barbados with as many people as I can, and help you plan the trip that fits you.

Questions you may have

There’s so much of this online for free. Why would I pay for it?

Because free gets you options, but nobody online knows your dates, your budget, or who you’re traveling with. So nobody can tell you which place to stay is right for your trip. That’s what I do.

Does the price include my hotel or flights?

No. The price is for planning your trip. Hotels, flights and event tickets are paid separately, and you book them yourself. Your plan gives you the links.

I’m not going for Crop Over. Is this still for me?

Yes, everything works the same way. The plan just covers different things: Crop Over plans get bands and fetes, and other trips get more on what’s worth doing and where to eat.

What if the plan isn’t what I wanted?

You make the decisions when we talk, so there shouldn’t be anything in your plan we haven’t gone through together.

My trip is longer than seven nights.

Message me on TikTok or Instagram before you book, and we’ll sort out a price. Both prices cover trips up to seven nights.

Now let’s plan your Barbados trip.

Pick a time, answer a few questions, and I’ll get to work.
