Greetings From Trinidad!
I’m still alive! I really am sorry that I’ve disappeared for the past 3 weeks, and I have quite a bit of catching up to do.
What is Trinidad like in one word: INTENSE.
Maybe, if this was a regular trip, things wouldn’t be so hectic, but the Aviation course that I am currently on is extremely fast-paced. I have three different tests every Friday, on information given from the Monday to Thursday of that week. Yes, they give material on Thursday for you to know by heart the next day.
Other than school, everything is going well. I love my new apartment and the neighbourhood that I’m living in. I’m located in an area a short distance away from the Piarco International Airport, called Arima. The district has a very safe feeling to it, and I believe I’m going to love it here.
I will do a photo post soon, so keep tuned!
Thanks to everyone for their continued support and understanding!
I’m Leaving Again!

It’s been confirmed… Next Saturday, I will be boarding a plane to Trinidad and Tobago where I will be living for the next seven months! I’m being sent on an Air Traffic Controller course, so this trip is being taken care of by the government. I’ve never been away from my home for such a long period of time, but I’m quite excited! I’ve been working in the field for 4 years now, and it’s time to take my career a step further!
One thing however, which is causing me a fair amount of stress at the moment, is trying to figure out what to pack! I only intend to leave with one regular sized suit case and a carry on, so minimal packing is key. I have no clue where to start. I leave in just over 6 days from now… Do you see the dilemma?
Have you studied abroad before? This is my first time, so please do share any tips that you may have!
