      Thanks 🥰🥰 It was such a vibe, I really enjoyed myself. We jumped with Yuma Vibe! There were so many great things about it, but I'm open to exploring other bands next year.

    Great video! Did you stay in port-of-spain or further out? Currently on the hunt for accommodation and it is work!

      Yeah, it's tough! We ended up staying in Port-of-Spain at a place walking distance from the Savannah, which was a convenient location in my opinion but after we arrive a bunch of people mentioned that they wouldn't suggest staying in our particular neighborhood (Belmont). Best of luck to us both! lol

    What would your advise be for white female tourists to Trini carnival? Is it safe? Do whites stand out or can they blend in?

    • @britthompsonmusic
      @britthompsonmusic  Год назад +1

      I understand your concern since it's a primarily Caribbean and black experience. We had white people in our group and I don't think they had any issues. As a woman, you should be careful and aware of your surroundings, like everyone. But I don't think white people are targets or stand out in a negative way at carnival. Folks are there for good vibes & enjoyment, and as long as you respect the culture & the experience then you'll have a great time!

      You should know Trinidad has a local white population. It is not a homogenous black population, particularly not in west Port of Spain. White Trinis and foreigners participate in Carnival too. You can find most of them in Carnival bands like Harts ruclips.net/video/El5gMFVPNNM/видео.html and Bliss ruclips.net/video/yhV8ncVyQrg/видео.html and some also join other bands where they are the minority and have a good time.
