In 2018 I was gifted a DNA testing kit. Although I was born in the UK, I am also Caribbean-my mother is Barbadian and my father is Jamaican.
The opportunity arose last fall, courtesy of HX Hurtigruten Expeditions, the sister brand to Norway's Hurtigruten cruise line, which sails to places like the Galápagos Islands.
