Click to view full size

This Week in BIM features Matthew Hamilton, a software developer from the UK who came to Barbados on a Welcome Stamp and ended up making the island his forever home.

Matt heard about the Welcome Stamp while in a pub, over a couple of beers (or four) and convinced his family to move to our shores.

After several Welcome Stamp renewals, crash courses in wukkin up and a love for souse and soca, he now calls Barbados his permanent home. 🇧🇧
