How Safe is Barbados? 2020

Before visiting Barbados, I wasn't really worried about how safe the island would be and how freely I could move around as a tourist considering i'm from Nigeria, black and would blend in quite well.

Week 1 in Barbados

I can truly say that Barbados is beautiful as nature made it, the Bajan people are very nice and will offer help without you asking for it.
