    Living in America for 30+ years. This #%* place is not easy. And you have a US passport which makes everything a 100 times easier. Having supportive family and friends makes things easier to navigate. I live in NYC where everyone is out for self, people don’t even share info on helpful tips

      It really isn’t easy, and you’re so right it isn’t like the Caribbean out here. All man for themselves

    That beautiful singy accent. It is sooo prim and proper and sooo beautiful! Number one in the region.

    It's refreshing to hear a trini accent. I lived in Canada for years long winters and no jobs. I now live in Maryland

    I regret moving to the UK, the weather sucks, the money is not great, my kids missed out on growing up with their cousins and grandparents, I regret, cause Trinidad and Tobago is fun fun fun, we take it for granted. We don’t struggle with racism,, people are friendly, in the UK, people don't say good morning. The food sucks, we try to cook Trinidadian food, but it's hard to get, shadow beni, tanker bean, ticky tam bo, the food is not the same.

      thank you for your comment 🙏🏽, it really isn’t easy migrating outside of Trinidad, we deal with so much displacement, people never get it. My heart goes out to you and the family 🫶🏽🥺 i hope you guys stay well. I can also definitely relate to this in so many ways. I felt like this when I had just moved to the USA but somehow I managed to maneuver, also traveling back home often helps me to stay connected to my roots

      I was born in the UK but did all of my secondary school and most of my primary school living in Trinidad. I spent time in New York before returning to the UK . I enjoyed my time growing up in Trinidad but don't miss it as there is a big enough Trini community here in the UK and I can bring relatives over for holidays etc food is available if you know where to shop everything from chief brand kuchela to roti and doubles is available in London and online for those that are not London based. You just need to branch out, make Trini connections right here and bring the people you miss for a holiday and make the odd trip back when want to.

      I did enjoy your video…….
      It somewhat resonates with the journey I have had when I legally migrated to America +25 years ago………..
      I flew nonstop to JFK(N. Y.), from TRINIDAD 🇹🇹…..
      My brother picked me up and dropped me off at my father’s apartment in Manhattan, New York, N. Y.
      Been on my own since that time……
      THANK YOU KAROLINA🫡

      Jamaica has the best Caribbean accent reason why I say this is because all island in music does the Jamaican accent expect here own island therefore it's because people gravitate to the patwah accent 😂
