Hi my name is Katerina and I’m an English Language student at the University of Liverpool. I’ve really enjoyed creating this project to share with you all!

I hope you find this exciting and learn something new!

Hi! I am a marketing student from the Cayman Islands and Jamaica. My family has a good number of cultural backgrounds so sharing some aspects of the Caribbean was a very exciting opportunity.
I love the Caribbean because it is full of a vibrant mixture of people. The food here is like none other. The flavours come from all around the world and the countries of the Caribbean have used them to make unique and delicious cuisines. The beaches are so beautiful with clear water and white sand. The
music here just adds to the liveliness of the Caribbean.
