A Red House Wedding
Read more: A Red House WeddingWe all remember where we were on February 14, 2020, when Machel Montano married Renee Butcher at the Red House – just three weeks after the building was reopened after years of renovation. The photos were everywhere and they were stunning, and for me, they opened my eyes to a whole new possibility when it…

On “rest”
Read more: On “rest”This pandemic has changed my perspective on a lot of things. I wrote previously about how this pandemic, along with a series of unfortunate events (likely all triggered by the pandemic), forced me to re-evaluate my relationship with work. Six months post-resignation though, and I’m now realising that it fundamentally altered my perception of rest…

5 places to eat along Trinidad’s east/west corridor
Read more: 5 places to eat along Trinidad’s east/west corridorWhat an awkward title. I didn’t want to call this “food spots you should try in the east” because I think there’s a general debate about where the “east” begins. I also didn’t want to call it food spots you should try outside of Port of Spain because I don’t go central or south with…

My Great Resignation
Read more: My Great ResignationThis year uprooted the professional lives of so many people that the press coined a whole moniker for the phenomenon – ‘The Great Resignation’. I always assumed “burnout” was an often-used word, but probably less-experienced thing. I regarded the term with scepticism. I was a non-believer. I’ve always considered myself a high performance worker (like…

Review: Harmony Eco Menstrual Cup
Read more: Review: Harmony Eco Menstrual CupFor a few years now I’ve been trying to live my life a little more sustainably. Nothing too extreme, just trying to reduce the amount of single use plastics in my life and generally be more intentional and thoughtful about the waste I generate. One item that had been tugging at the hem of my…

So the borders are open… now what?
Read more: So the borders are open… now what?So, the borders are open… Let me tell you, it’s one thing to pine, wish and hope for something and another thing entirely to have that something in your grasp and be confronted by the realities of using it. That was me and our border reopening. Before the pandemic I would travel every other month…

Thoughts in transit: Did I come to Malaysia for the wrong reason?
Read more: Thoughts in transit: Did I come to Malaysia for the wrong reason?I’ve made a New Year’s resolution (not really) to try to be a better blogger. And in my head, being a better blogger means writing while I am on a trip, and not attempting to do it three years later when I can barely remember anything. Anyway, I’m three days into my trip to Malaysia…

Travel gadgets on my radar in 2019
Read more: Travel gadgets on my radar in 2019The year has just begun and for most people travel is on the brain. I’m no different really. I’ve been planning my trips for this year since the latter half of 2018 and while nothing is confirmed just yet, it looks like I have a pretty decent lineup so far. I had originally wanted to…

Cenote-hopping in Mexico
Read more: Cenote-hopping in MexicoI can’t remember exactly when my fascination with cenotes began. Actually, that’s a lie. It was when my friend Veesha went to Mexico in 2015 and posted the wildest photos of these underground water-filled lairs that looked like something out of a Guillermo del Toro flick. Since then, I knew that if I ever went…

What Bali cost me
Read more: What Bali cost meI don’t sell drugs. I fund all of my trips myself (no sugar daddy in sight). I am not SUPER rich (God I wish). While I’m not a “budget” traveler per se, and I don’t always adhere to my budget, one thing I try to stick to is visiting places that are either 1) relatively…
