Starting a new life in a Caribbean paradise isn't just about the sunsets and soca music; it's a symphony of challenges, culture, and so much more.
This episode features the bubbly Wendy Dyemma-Harper, a Guadeloupean expat who's found her rhythm in Trinidad, sharing her insights on life as a French-speaking Caribbean girl in Trinidad and Tobago.
As your host, I weave my own tales of Caribbean transitions, comparing notes with Wendy on the emotional rollercoaster of setting up shop in St Martin and Trinidad to cracking the code of working and living in a non-native language.
We discuss the nostalgia for the foods and family traditions of our homelands, the hits and the misses, and finding your place as an expat in a different Caribbean setting.
What a fun conversation.
