About this experience
Are you unable to travel but still want to have this experience? Are you craving a historical military-based adventure in Barbados? Have you ever wondered what military life was like during the colonial period? Then have I got an experience for you!
From the comfort of your home, I will tell you how I was here to defend this gem of an island and it was nothing like what I would have expected as a soldier. My story is bittersweet, but nonetheless, has to be told. I want to tell you about the prison and the walk of shame I had to endure. About the services offered around the “Savannah” and all the joys that can be drawn from this area despite the hardships that have made it what it is.
Join me via Zoom for a culturally rich journey into history. During this engaging interaction, I will show you the videos and pictures of the Garrison I lived in. The changes it has undergone. All the while paying homage to me by preserving my legacy.
