World Hum took a look recently at Barbados, and how to get by there on a budget.

I'll admit, Barbados is hardly known as a shoestringer's paradise-this isn't $5, $25 or even $100 per day territory.

But still, after a couple of extended visits here, I've learned that it's not all pricey cocktails, rooms-with-a-view and chartered yachts, either. There are affordable accommodation options and wallet-friendly meals to be found-and, best of all, some of the island's most memorable spots are free, or close to it.

The piece looks at the island, section by section, and points out some great things to do that are, well, free. I'm starting to feel like a few days in the Caribbean wouldn't hurt me...
