What is the secret that allows me to work a full time (8am to 7pm) job, manage my family, execute my responsibilities and still be able to create space in my life to indulge my passion for travel? How do you do that exactly?  I always get this question and despite the motivation behind it, because let’s face it, the question does not always originate from a positive space, it’s essentially the same question - how can you fit

Recently I shared a series of posts on my Simsana Travel IG page to highlight the countries that were high on my travel bucket list.  Most of my friends know that I constantly dream about travel, endlessly plan itineraries and I think about travel during most of my waking moments. Being grounded during these tough COVID times, my curiosity has not stopped, it’s only been transferred to exploring some local destinations, doing day trips but still I’m planning international trips

It was that time again, time to hit the road!  Covid is still raging so no flights were involved.  This was a local road trip and all safety precautions were observed with masks worn at all times!  Just a small group of people were in the group and we were sectioned off into even smaller groups when observing the sites.  Safety was indeed the priority! So why Moruga?  Well, even though I live in Trinidad I have never been out to

I know what you’re thinking.  How it is someone like me, who prides herself on being a pretty good trip organizer, excellent with details and always looking for great flight deals, trust SOMEONE ELSE to organize a trip for her?   Good question!  Yes, I did it but this was definitely next level even for a control-freak like me!!! How did this happen you might wonder?  Well, I have always said there are some countries in this world that are a little

Back in early 2018 I planned a small group adventure to South Africa.  To be honest, I was determined to visit even if it meant going alone but as per usual, some friends learned about it and of course joined me on my dream trip!  The more, the merrier has always been my MANTRA so I was more than happy to have them come along!  Right at the outset, as South Africa had been a fantasy for so long, I warned

You hear it all the time… if you want to travel you need to SAVE MONEY!   But TBH, sometimes counting each penny every day is just draining and if I really just depended on that mantra, I would never go anywhere at all!  Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against saving my pennies as anyone who knows me would know, lol, but in this real world, saving a few pennies every month is not getting me on that airplane 2

One of my biggest life’s beliefs is to not reinvent the wheel.  I’ve learnt time and time again that I don’t always have to hurt my brain to develop new solutions when there are so many real life ‘been there, solved that’ examples, just waiting for me to use!  You know how it is: I have so many other challenges in life to work through daily that when it comes to my passion, if there is already a solution on

It’s been a while…… You know what I’m talking about.  No action, no dates, no excitement, just working, training and adulting during and post COVID.  So, no need to explain the excitement I felt to be finally going out on a date!  My friends and I drove up to Lopinot which is approximately 1.5 hours from West Trinidad so I could meet Hummer.  The town was named after a French soldier, Compte Josef Charles de Lopinot who acquired quite a few acres

Let me break it down for you: I am an over-full-time employee at a local company in Trinidad.I have twenty days’ vacation leave per year. I am a mother and have to feed a twenty-year-old son who will soon start University in September. I have a mortgage and the regular household bills that come with that.I like clothes and jewelry…A LOT! I do NOT have a trust fund however hard I wish NOR do I have a sugar daddy, yet!  Just kidding! But despite all
