Engrid is a lover of world cultures and peoples from all over the world. I grew up and spent most of my life in this same location, spending summer vacations in the streams, catching crayfish and meandering in the many fruit trees in the area around our home. Our family owns three acres of land at this location and we kids were never bored exploring the many mango trees that were planted by past generations of Scotts.
This location is very special to me because of this. I always felt that I had the best childhood growing up in this rural part of the island, climbing trees and jumping in the water pools found in the nearby streams. This experience has taught me to strive hard to achieve what ever I want just as we had to stretch and put our bodies under whatever pressure to grab a mango or to get coconuts or cashews or ackees in the trees. So I grew up as a ' tom boy' and still is a bit tough in my approach to life. I went to school at an all girls school in Bridgetown, later attending Barbados Community College, Erdiston Teachers Training College and finally the University of the West Indies where I pursued French and Spanish, so I can have a conversation in these two languages, though my french is better than my spanish. Currently I am a teacher at a primary school in the north of the island, where the kids are ages 4 to 11. I love to travel and to meet people. I can say that I have an effervescent personality and love to laugh. I believe that we should make the best of every situation and that there is a solution to every problem. I am married and have a seven year old son and we live on the west coast of the island but he loves my childhood hometown, almost as much as I do. My two sisters share this acre of land with me, and we all work together to make guest feel welcome. My oldest sister drives a taxi and can transport guest to and from the airport and my other sister has a car hire business so she rents cars to guest reasonably.
