An Expat Talks about Moving to Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago

What is the name of the city or town that you are reporting on?

Port of Spain

Name three things that you wish you had brought and three you wish you had left at home.

There is a quarentine in Trinidad even though there is rabies here so I wish we could have brought our cat. It is expensive so I bring stuff from home each year but you can get everything here, just costs more.

We are a family of 6 and travel very light so everything I have taken I have needed.
