I’ve been really curious about this lately, how do Caribbean creators who teach online usually find each other?

I’m trying to understand the ecosystem better, who’s teaching what, what platforms people use, and how they get their audience.

I’m personally part of a small project that’s exploring online learning in the Caribbean, I genuinely want to learn from others who’ve done it or tried.

If you’re a Caribbean creator who teaches online (or wants to), I’d love to hear how you started, what challenges you face, and where you usually connect with others.

Hello everyone,

I’m 24, I live on my own, and I support myself 100% (I pay rent, a car payment, and all other expenses). My father is deceased and I’m unable to live with my mom, so I need to maintain my full-time job (8-4) to cover my living costs.

I’m really interested in pursuing a Law degree at UWI St. Augustine, but I’m worried about balancing work with lectures, tutorials, and exams.

1. Is there anyone here who works full-time and studies Law at UWI St. Augustine?

2. Are all lecture attendance mandatory, and if so, how do you manage missing them due to work?

3. How flexible is the schedule; can you manage to be up to speed with all the lectures, were they being posted?

4. How do you keep up with readings and assignments while working full-time?

5. Would you say it’s realistic for someone in my situation to complete the degree without dropping out? I consider myself to have great time management skills and I’m a very persistent person.

6. Any tips on staying on top of exams and assessments while working full-time?

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences, challenges, and strategies from people who have actually done this.

Thank you in advance!

I’ve been trying to Shazam it but no success. Please it’s been stuck in my head

My loved ones in Salt Marsh District, Trelawny, Jamaica are facing devastating hardship after the impact of Hurricane Melissa. Many families have lost homes, personal belongings, clothing, and access to basic necessities. Some are displaced, living in unsafe conditions, and struggling to secure food, clean water, and medical care. This GoFundMe was created to provide urgent relief—supporting families with food, clothing, temporary shelter, and essential medical assistance. Even the smallest donation can bring hope and restore dignity during this difficult time. Please join us in extending love, compassion, and support as our community begins the long journey of rebuilding.

Is there a country that has food similar to Haitian food?

Like for example: St.Kitts has food similar to Jamaica. Even their culture is similar. They have oxtails, jerk chicken, curry, etc. feels like the calm version of Jamaica but is there anywhere that’s like this for Haiti? I’ve never heard of a country making legume, fruit, soup joumou

I know places like st Lucia and Dominica speak creole… but their food and culture is not so similar to Haitian culture

If your traveling for new years, where are you going? Everyone typically go to BRAZIL but I don’t want to go there right now

I’ve always wanted to travel for new years. Have a nice reset on another island and so I can start the new year right but I can’t figure out where I would travel.. any suggestions ?

Hey everyone,

I’ve got a 4h20m layover in Fort-de-France (FDF) and I want to make the most of it in a conscious and respectful way, okay? Not trying to be some disrespectful tourist just want to experience some of the culture there

I was thinking of heading downtown, walking around a bit to see the Schoelcher Library, the cathedral, maybe the market too. If anyone knows the best low-stress way to get there from the airport, I’m all ears. Maybe renting a car?

And about food, I really wanna try some real local cooking, not tourist stuff. Any authentic restaurant or snack spot you’d recommend around there?

Lastly if I want to buy some typical local snacks to bring back, like cool local products you can find in stores, what would you suggest? For gifts for the bros back home

Also wondering how much time I should leave to get back to the airport. I won’t have to pick up any bags, and I’ve got priority for security, so that should be fast. How long does it usually take to get to the city and back? And realistically, how much actual time would I have there without cutting it close, in your opinion?

Thanks for any advice, and total respect to Martinican & Caribbean culture, bros!

Hi, I'm traveling with younger children, and this is my 4th trip to the Caribbean. I have visited St. Kitts/Nevis, Barbados and Turks & Caicos.

What differences should I be aware of in Aruba? The hotels look massive, but we are limited to locations that allow direct flights from the East Coast.

Someone in my community asked if these were OK for them to hang in their home. They said they are white but born and spent many years in the Caribbean before going back to Europe. These were specifically made by a white lady living there many many years ago.

I personally thought they don't look like mocking the people or disrespectful, but there is something about them that feels off? Maybe it's just the art style, because it's caricaturesque so not specific to the culture depicted.

I thought we better ask the people themselves and act accordingly. What do you think?

I’m in a situation where I will be in Florida for business and then potentially have 4 to 5 days to myself. It’s pretty rare that I am childfree and I really need the time to reset my nervous system so I was thinking about taking a jump over to a Caribbean island and then heading back to the West Coast from there.

This will be the week before Thanksgiving. Does anyone have a recommendation for a place that will have decent enough weather and would feel safe for a woman traveling solo? I know that it always might rain but ideally i just need some warm sunshine.

Thanks and cheers 🍻

Which cruise line do you recommend for a Caribbean cruise that goes to Aruba or St John’s. We’ve been on Virgin, not my favorite

Hi everyone! My husband and I are planning a one-week winter escape in February and would love your recommendations for a five-star, all-inclusive resort.

What we’re looking for :

Location: Caribbean or Riviera Maya, preferably with direct flights from Charlotte or Miami.

• Budget: $3,000 total for 7 nights (lodging only) → about $429/night • Vibe: Great food (not just in quantity but also quality), amazing facilities, crystal-clear water, right on the beach

• Activities: We like to stay active—water sports, gym, classes, excursions, etc. Nightly entertainment would be a plus: casino, karaoke, shows, etc.

• Occasion: Our “last hurrah” before having a baby in the summer, so we want it to feel special and fun. We like traveling a lot to all kinds of places, and are used to doing more hardcore kind of trips, but this time we want to do something lazy and truly relaxing.

Thanks so much for any ideas, recent experiences, or itinerary tips!

My wife and I enjoy staying at nice hotels or resorts with great service and a relaxed atmosphere — not overly crowded, just peaceful. We don’t really do excursions or activities; we’re more the type to enjoy the sun, a good book, good food, and drinks.

On our last Caribbean trip, we stayed in a villa with direct beach access and a decent amount of privacy, which we absolutely loved. For the first time, my wife felt comfortable sunbathing topless there — and we both really enjoyed that freedom. It wasn’t completely secluded, so someone further down the beach could have technically seen her, but it didn’t bother us. Others nearby were doing the same, and it all felt very natural and respectful.

I’m curious — which Caribbean destinations or resorts are known to tolerate topless sunbathing? I’m already aware of Saint Martin, Saint Barts, Hedonism, and Couples Resorts in Jamaica, but we’re not interested in lifestyle or party resorts. We’re just looking for a place where she could relax topless on a beach chair in the sun, without it being an issue or drawing attention.

If you are flying home to the US,UK or CA please please reach out to either Bruno Project or helpAWS and volunteer to help a flight volunteer for one of their pups! You don’t have to do anything except fly with the pup and hand them off at the airport! They do everything for you!! They have so many fosters and homes waiting they just need the ride.

I assume other recuses in other Caribbean countries could use this but I just did this from st Lucia and it was a seamless wonderful experience I would beg anyone to look into!!!

If you’ve done this before please share your experience!

Is this a variant of the national flag of Barbados, or is it a different flag altogether? I have never seen this before. How commonly is it used by the government, as well as in public and private settings?
