Geography Now! Barbados

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

While many people think Barbados is in the Caribbean, the small island nation is just out of its reach. It's also out of the reach of many hurricanes, allowing it to develop as a hub of tourism and banking. A humorous video profile describes the geography and culture of Barbados, also home to singer Rihanna.
