- Опубликовано: 13 июл 2024
- What's good Profound Travelerz! Join us in Trinidad & Tobago for an unforgettable adventure. TT is such an underrated and beautiful country, full of natural wonders, and amazing people. We had a chance to visit all over Port of Prince, inland, southern parts of the country, and even a ferry ride over to the relaxing beautiful island of Tobago. The diversity of people and the food culture of the nation is quite distinguished from any country that we have traveled to thus far. It was effortless to make friends and establish organic connections with locals. With all being said, enjoy the video and stay tuned for our next video as we highlight Trinidadian food.

As an American staying in Trinidad. I feel Trinidad is pretty safe. You just need to do what you would do anywhere and exercise caution. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Is it hard to move to Trinidad fully? How does one gain citizens hip?
@@StellaStarr-wb6ys To be honest. I have family there. I live half the time in Trinidad and half the time in the states. I don’t live there full time. To answer your question, the easiest way to gain citizenship is through marriage (if your husband/wife is from there) if you don’t already have roots there. You can also get a work or school visa. Someone who has lived their life there might know best. I’m definitely not the authority. I honestly suggest visiting first if you have not already. I hope this helps.💜
BTW! One of the best things about having a citizenship in Trinidad is that you are able to have dual citizenship.
What is the best way to get around Trinidad and Tobago like which Uber app or company or taxi service in a safe way and what not to do or to watch out for going soon please help
@@StellaStarr-wb6ysThere are 4 ways to gain citzenship for Trinidad and Tobago; 1 being born here,2 descend if one of your parents or both parents are born here and you were born in some other coutry you can apply through descent, 3 marriage to a local and 4 natrualization. Yes I am a Trinidadian.
@@nichollabrathwaite-mundy5126can you apply if it is a grandparent or great grandparent? I feel connected to my Trini heritage and want to move after college.
My guys! Hands down this was one of the best videos on Trindad I have ever seen, you have done us justice . Thank you for visiting our beautiful county and explaining it so well ❤
Appreciate the love fam! We really loved it in TT. Can't wait to come back!
Thank for seeing things in Tad as it is really is go to the wrong places then you are in danger 😊
I mistakenly said Port of Prince instead of Port of Spain at the beginning of the video. Just woke up early after a long flight with a layover from LA. Was a bit disoriented, forgive me the wonderful people of TT!
TT was a beauty that we must experience again, enjoy yall!
Trinidad looking real nice, can't wait to see that food video you got coming up too!

Born and lived here for seventeen years hope to spend my winters here soon.
If you visit Trinidad, you can't miss a trip to Topes de Collantes National Park. Fifty percent of its native species live in these mountains that are part of the Sierra del Escambray. With views of wildlife, tropical vegetation and rock formations coming together is an environment that will leave you speechless
Oh I would love to go there next trip. Thanks for the suggestion
Wrong country. This is Trinidad and Tobago. English speaking country.
@@brownsugar2271 I think he meant Trinidad de Cuba

Well, well, well Jason, I cannot believe you explored my island.
Good job!
Pixie! I did, and I loved every minute of it!
The origin of carnival came through slavery an East Indian people never really took part in carnival because East Indians from Hindustan they had their own culture, and it wasn't till I left Trinidad I noticed that the younger generation of East Indian descent started intermingling in da festivities which we call carnival and the descendants of slaves through slavery created The festivities off carnival ,an all the good stuff that comes with da festivities, That's why most of the a Afro melanated caribbean countries Even Brazil where there has a huge Afro community off descendants of slaves they resonate with carnival . Carnival is a afro Caribbean South American and also replicated throughout the United States England Holland and other places.
this was fun to watch
Thanks for watching fam!
It’s Port of Spain Sir ❤

Hello Profound Travelz may this message find you and your love ones in good health, high spirit and a joy for life. This is my first time on your channel, it was truly an enjoyable experience. As a expat birthed in Trinidad raised mainly in America your video was one of the best that I have watched thus far, although you did mispronounce some of the names of places i.e.
Port of Spain, and food ( ROO TEE)( not Rawti). However, I love the fact that you took the road less travelled, you visited the Botanical Gardens, hiked up The Lady Chancellor Road and learned to wine. I especially love that you visited Carenage. This is my community, a special one and watching it brought huge smiles to my face. Your interactions with local Trinbagonians highlight the importance of travel, it is about having genuine connection with people. Travel is about being present in the moment and allowing every experience to count. I am so proud of my people for demonstrating some of the great qualities that defines our Trinbogonian spirit, we are hospitable, we are friendly, we are generous and we love life. Trinidad and Tobago have challenges like anywhere else in the world, we do not have ownership of negativity. We are a multicultural, multi religious, diverse society economic island and with that there are challenges. Trinidad and Tobago is a beautiful, lush, vibrant, innovative and unique nation. One of if not the richest in the Caribbean region. One must experience it for their self in order to feel its spirit.
Thank You Profound Travelz! The wonderful work that you are doing through traveling this great planet is pure ministry. Sharing your videos enable us all to see the similarities, , differences and uniqueness through this human experience known as LIFE.
I appreciate your kind words and watching. It was a truly refreshing and spiritually enhancing experience to visit TT. The beautiful landscape and love of the people were amazing. The multicultural aspect of TT was so vibrant, and we learned so much. Connecting with locals is a primary goal for me when I travel. We're planning to return for Carnival 2025. God bless fam!
@@Profound_Travelz GREAT! You should visit for CARNIVAL, you will be blown away. You are about to witness "THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH"! Trinidad & Tobago is INDEED BEAUTIFUL.On your next trip you should go hiking, check out more beaches and waterfalls. Also take the party boat so you can go around Carenage area including Five Islands. Lastly spend at least a week in Tobago you will see why we are name after THE HOLY TRINITY.
@traceecoltes2460 I wholeheartedly believe everything you're saying about Carnival and I cannot wait! And Tobago was nothing such of paradise, heavenly like
@@Profound_Travelz I think you should reach out to the Ministry of Tourism of Trinidad & Tobago. Your videos are really we'll done. You have a great way of narrating. Your ability to connect with the people and scenery is truly inspiring. Show them your videos, let them know what your objective is and see where it goes. It is my belief that you will get beyond what you think is possible.
@traceecoltes2460 Wooow! Thanks for the suggestion. It's never occurred to me to try that. I will definitely do so before I return.
I would love to tour the jungle
TT was nice I enjoy the culture an food the people were awesome love it there
Great vid, very happy to see you capture some of the essence of Trinbago... and you've only scratched the surface. Also LOVE how you put in that we have a genuine kindness. However, "pipe could only take so much pressure". Meaning that everyone has limits and tourists should not take advantage of said kindness as trinis can flip that switch VERY quickly with DRASTIC outcomes *general disclaimer to any tourists thinking they're entitled to the fantasy island treatment*
Thanks! It was a pleasure to visit TT. We have a universal thought, lead with respect, be positive & be humble. Anywhere & everywhere ppl can flip if not being respected. Therefore, we gotta come connect with the diaspora & make the bridge strong
@@Profound_Travelz Nothing but love man! you guys really did have a good time and i'm happy to see it. Just making sure "the entitled people" don't get any ideas.
@@FaddaWolf likewise, nothing but respect for TT & I completely understand!
Very good video..narration on point unlike other vloggers who dont take time to research a little..20 out of 10
Appreciate that fam! I try to inform while having fun & adventure.
@@Profound_Travelz Keep up the good work..
@@justkool-cy4ms already fam!
Awesome!
Appreciate it!
Tobago 🇹🇹 is real
I loooooved being in Tobago!
The name of my capital is Port of Spain, not Port au Prince is the capital of Haiti. Shout out to my Zoes .... Sake Passe!
That was correct in the subtitles, a simple mistake. Thank you Ms
Beautiful Island.very much like home in the tropics. Very enticing.
I'm from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬.
See you,
Larelake, Mr.
Appreciate you watching and we would love to visit Papua New Guinea someday
Trinidad is considered the city's museum, both for the number and variety of attractions, as well as for the preservation of historical facades. The city's life revolves around Plaza Mayor, .
Thanks for the insight
Wrong place. This is Trinidad and Tobago
Miss the boat and spend 3 more days
I should have, I didn't want to leave
enjoy the video bro new subscriber also a youtuber from Trinidad 🇹🇹
Appreciate you brother! Subscribed as well
Thank you for the video. I'd like to know how you guys traveled from the airport to the city center.
Thanks for watching! Well we went to our airbnb in Santa Ana inland first. Our airbnb host set us up with a driver. Now, the airport is super close to city center, so a taxi can take you directly there. Prolly 15min from city center. Once you're there, it's easy to walk around.
Correction afro Trinidadian gained emancipation almost 200 years ago but the nation of Trinidad became independent 60 years ago. In addition most indentured laborers did not receive land
I corrected that in the subtitle, thanks
@@Profound_Travelz 🙏Bless
Did most indentured servants work for free? Did they get anything at the end of their contract?
They got way more land than our ancestors, the British made it illegal for former slaves to own any land.
@@jabaltariq4606They worked to pay off their passage to get there. However, they were usually illiterate and didn’t understand the contracts and were forced to work for free in perpetuity.
I needed to say one thing. Just as a correction our city is Port of Spain not Port of Prince. Thank you!
I made that correction in the subtitles. One of few errors in a 24 min video
Port of Prince is in Haiti. Part of Spain is Trinidad
Check the subtitles in the video ✌🏼
You still got richard alexanders info? How can i get in contact with him?
@yausmilcardenas4669 yes I do. Email me profoundtravelz@gmail.com and I'll give you his Whatsapp
"One day in Lavantile, many years ago, a man had a hammer, he used to hammer it to and fro..."
And way the man with the hammer gone? Tell meh, tell meh way he gone🎵🎶🎼
Today they have High techo GUNS.
Zaboca!!!!!
Port of Prince? I think you meant, Port of Spain
I did, it was corrected in the subtitles
If this is underrated I'd like to know what is rated
wish you had edited that intro Although you made many mistakes because T&T is a level 3 by US Travelers Advisory that's says travel with caution or avoid travelling same as Jamaica, Bahamas and many other countries and US states
Level 4 not to travel are countries like Haiti,Syria, and others I ended the video by just watching intro because carefully consideration must be administered not saying I think only contributes to the negative assumptions narrative Trinidad is dangerous
I mentioned that in the beginning of the video but the state department is not always reliable about the warnings. I use to live in Costa Rica, and the capital city is one of the most dangerous places I've ever spent time in, but the state department didn't reflect that because of all the western tourism there. If a country is not at war or violent conflict with other nations, then I consider going anyways
ok I got you will watch the whole video now lol,but seriously Ecuador is a big surprise to me the gangs violence happening there now is shocking knowing its were the most peaceful country in South America also I really feel for Haiti at the moment
T&T have it issues especially crime, murder and gang violence which for some strange reasons after the Pandemic many population seems to have increased violence and criminality usually a beautiful place
I'm not judgement of no country because many societies has social issues what I am unaware of that I researched places to travel rather any travels advisory they never accurate or updated, didn't know San Jose was a violent city looks developed and relaxed
@paul-lq5nw it's sad, I been following Ecuador because I was plan on visiting. The protests in Machu Picchu, Medellin, Haiti, and I went to Cuba for a 3rd time this past summer and things were not good at all.
@@Profound_Travelz Sad reality this side of the world looks shaky at the moment
Bandits only target one race
The name of the city is Port of Spain, not Port au Prince. This is Trinidad not Haiti. Thank you very much!
I corrected myself in the subtitles, thank you
Not port au prince to port of Spain.
Port au prince is in haiti
That was corrected in the subtitles, thanks
The crime situation is not "overhyped". It is terrible.
I guess it's subjective since crime is everywhere
@@Profound_TravelzI am glad you said that. Because Trini’s. Who never travel outside of Trinidad. And even some that lives abroad. I live in the US. And in my city. It’s out of hand. Even our commissioner of police. Just walk of the job! It’s scary in cities in the US.
@brownsugar2271 exactly fam! I live in LA and it's been a semi-lawless place for years. Corruption at the highest level. The LA county sherrifs have gangs within their ranks since the 1950a
The Capital of Trinidad & Tobago is Port of Spain, not Port au Prince! get it right!
Already clarified that in the subtitles, along with several others saying the same thing in the comments. It amazes me that in a 24 min vid that so many ppl are choosing to cherry pick one error instead of being happy that someone highlighted TT in a positive way. Keep up the good criticism 😆
@@Profound_Travelzthat's a part of Trinidadian culture as a trini I loathe! People don't read and quick to make comments and nitpick at anything no matter how good something is.
You did an amazing job, thank you for capturing the essence of what our island has to offer! ❤ please come again in carnival 🎉🎉🎉
@fizzoconstant appreciate your words and insight fam! We'll be back for Carnival 2025 with more of us to experience TT. We loved it there
First of all exchanging of foreign currency on the streets or stores is ILLEGAL sir.
You must be the currency police, or somebody looking to dissect anything you can. God bless you
That may well be true but its done all over the world where governments put currency restrictions on the citizen but someway some how certain people--especially in government-always seem to have as much as they want
No it is not. you can exchange any currency for whatever you want.
our capital is port of spain not port of prince
Check the subtitles in the vid, it was a mistake
sence a real hate- on for white people ?
Not at all... depends on your energy and lead yourself with ppl for the most part. I always lead with respect, and I'm assertive only if I have to be. Many of the locals were simply educated about the history of colonialism in their country. Maybe that scares some white ppl, but I didn't notice any true ill will
ngl T&T BEEN the *most underrated* from time!
big mama LOL
