[gallery]This is my last week in Barbados. Being that I’m leaving Thursday, I wanted to comment on the last parts of my internship before departure. After having a conversation with another intern from Trinidad this morning it became clear; the internship I’ve been on has been full of great experiences and long lasting memories. The people at the office I’ve been working at have been friendly, professional, hard working, motivating, and welcoming throughout the entirety of the trip. It’s been great interacting with the people of Barbados at the local level and professional. I’ve also spoken with Heads of other Caribbean Governments which, has been very informative and enjoyable. Learning how they have worked hard to develop and implement sustainability programs, from the ground up, has been such a success story -although there is still work to be accomplished. I’ve swam with sea turtles, sat with green monkeys while they were eating, graduated with my M.A., and composed case studies for the international tourism community (and others) to learn from. My internship has given me a lot; I’ve given much to my internship. Overall, the internship’s been met with success along with challenges and achievements. Although I will miss being in Barbados, I am ready to go home and start my next adventures in life…
