What do I need to know before moving to Trinidad & Tobago?

"We were limited to what the realitor wanted to show us, mainly West Morings. My husband talked to people at work (other expats and locals) and they told us about different areas. We insisted in viewing the other areas we knew of. (Like the US, realitors are looking at their best interest; not yours. They want to show you where they have rental properties, need I say more...) Secondly, Drive to work and back during your work hours once you find the area you like. Adjust the hours or the location depending on your choice. Everyone complains about traffic, but Houston's traffic is the same if not worse with 6 lanes on every road," said a member in Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago.

"Trinidad & Tobago is a culturally diverse country with a rich history and vibrant culture. Expats should be aware that English is the official language, but many locals also speak a local dialect called Trinbagonian Creole. Expats should also be aware that the climate is tropical and humid, with temperatures ranging from the mid-20s to the mid-30s Celsius. Additionally, expats should be aware that the cost of living in Trinidad & Tobago is relatively high, and that the currency is the Trinidad & Tobago Dollar (TTD). Finally, expats should be aware that the country has a strong religious presence, with Christianity being the dominant faith," remarked another expat who made the move to Trinidad & Tobago.
