Answer 2

Barbados is situated just east of the Caribbean Sea. It is an independent island nation in the western Atlantic Ocean,  at roughly 13° North of the equator and 59° West of the prime meridian, the country lies in the southern Caribbean region, where it is considered a part of the Lesser Antilles.

Its closest island neighbors are Saint Vincent & the Grenadines and Saint Lucia to the west. To the south lies Trinidad and Tobago—with which Barbados now shares a fixed official maritime boundary—and also the South American mainland. Barbados's total land area is about 430 square kilometres (166 square miles), and is primarily low-lying, with some higher regions in the country's interior. The highest point in Barbados is Mount Hillaby in the parish of Saint Andrew.

Answer 5

If you know where the Caribbean Islands are - you would know they are no where near Europe. And BDS it is not a continent - it is an island. Barbados is in the West Indies and a member of the CARICOM states.  It is a well known island in and out of the Caribbean because it's main source of income is tourism. The beaches are beautiful. The people generally friendly. The area is reasonably crime-free. The two main currencies used are: Barbados dollar and the US dollar (although it is not a US island). If you are looking at a map...Barbados is located along the chain of the lesser antilles, slightly outside and to the right of the chain, closer to upper South America (Venezuela) (as a marker). Google it.
