The dual islands of Trinidad & Tobago in the Caribbean promise drop-dead gorgeous beaches, crystal-clear seas, thriving cities and a whole platter of fun activities.
As the plane takes off towards the sky, I cannot help but smile to myself knowing that I am headed to a land far away from home, but one that, for me, is blessedly home too. Post my touchdown after the long flight, I walk hurriedly to head out of the quaint airport of Trinidad & Tobago, right into my aunt’s arms as she eagerly greets me. Soon, we are driving towards home. Having been born into a mixed-marriage family, with my mom being a Trinidadian and dad being an Indian, I am lucky to be a part of two completely different cultures. Along with the sense of warmth and easygoing lifestyle inculcated by my mother, I also imbibed the deep-rooted Indian culture of my dad, which in turn has been a good blend that has helped me till today. With the car speeding towards home, I saw the fresh farms, wide roads and gazed upon the modern structures in the form of malls and corporate buildings that now lie scattered around the small island. As I chatted with my uncle, who updated me on the booming economy and progress of this little island that was once known to be laidback, I was astounded to learn how progress has been made by leaps and bounds.
