Introduction

             Glamorous San Bartolome, better known as S aint Barth  or Saint  Barts, exudes a seductive blend of European sophistication, natural beauty, and laid-back island charm. The white sand beaches are the main feature. Bays or stretch along picturesque coastal t owns and seduce tourists with crystal clear waters and coral reefs. You will not find any high-rise resorts in this Caribbean beauty. Instead, boutique hotels and private villas look behind veils of tropical foliage, making this sun-drenched island a natural magnet for movie stars and mogul slopes.

SELF-ASSESSMENT.   So far, I feel like I am doing a great job in this class and also with my blogs. Whiles taking this class I want to improve on my writing and with the every week blog we write is really helpful. Researching for information's is the stressful part for me because I have to find accurate fact about the country or whatever I am writing on. But it is also somehow interesting because I learn a lot about different countries, their history, culture, cuisine and many more. I put a lot of effort in writing my blogs because at the end of the day, it will be scored so I have to put in a lot of work to get a good grade. I really do procrastinate a lot which I am not proud of it but at least I try my possible best to do all my assignment and submit it before the due date.

Image
Personally, I like this island and will sure pay a visit to it one day because of their best dishes and beautiful beaches. St Barthelemy is an overseas of collectivity of France in the Caribbean. It abbreviated to St Barth in French and St. Barts in English. The capital of St. Barts is Gustavia, it is only the Caribbean island that was a Swedish colony for any significant length of time before the end of the Napoleonic Wars. Before the Treaty of  Paris, Guadeloupe came under the Swedish rule for a year, because of that the Swedish national arms and the Three Crowns still appearing the island's coat of arms.

The first European to encounter the island was Christopher Columbus in 1493. By 1648 the island was settled by French, encouraged by Phillippe de

"About Me"

  Hi, My name is Esinu Marfo but I prefer to be called Esi. I was born and raised in Ghana. I moved to United States at the age of 15, currently I live in Snellville.   I graduated from North Clayton High School which I got admitted into Gwinnett College majoring in Computer Science. I would also love to further in midwifery and start working after College.  I’m passionate about Midwifery due to the rampant incidents of women dying from pregnancy and during childbirth. Last year,  one of my favorite female YouTubeber "NicoleThea" died whiles giving birth, I was dolorous upon hearing the news but also it challenged me to focus and work harder to achieve my dreams.   I am a humanitarianism, quiet and a shy type.   I also have a YouTube channel to keep myself busy, share my views on things to my audience  and  it has really helped me a lot. I really like the editing part of my video's.  I am not the type who really likes writing but whiles taking this class, I want to improv
