Hey there! I'm Anthony, a Trini-Canadian software developer with a serious case of wanderlust. I wasn't always a travel blogger. For years, I was just a regular guy coding away in Toronto, but my heart always belonged to the vibrant island of Trinidad, where I was born. I started this blog to share my love for travel, Caribbean culture, and delicious food with the world. Whether you're planning a family vacation, seeking culinary inspiration, or simply dreaming of your next adventure, I hope my stories and tips will inspire you to explore the world with an open heart and a hungry stomach!
