A beautiful drive up the north coast of Trinidad to the amazing Matelot village !

I'm glad you take the time to highlight the endemic littering issues we have in TT. This is I hope will remind people to do better for our beautiful country. Gr8 vlog as usual

[@Trini_Surfer]

I appreciate your feedback and support my friend! I hope 🤞🏼 in the future we have a much cleaner society

[@porkulate]

ThT is an 'AMAZING COUNTRY'! There is no LITTERING, TRASH, FILTH or CRIME whatsoever. It is a PARADISE ON EARTH Anyone with a view to the contrary is simply WRONG, UNINFORMED and MISTAKEN. 🤪🥴😜❗

What happened to my beloved Matelot? I spent great time there in 2009 and I fell in love with nature & people there. But now it seems that there is a lot of trash everywhere. The same seems to be happened at Shark River. The night with leatherbacks coming out of the ocean for hatching - this special moment at the beach in G.R. - me and my daughters we`ll never forget. Please bros and sistas take care for your paradise, you´ve got only one!

[@Trini_Surfer]

Thank you my friends for your great words ! I always appreciate the feedback and support! have an awesome one🇹🇹

As a child I spent some time between toco and matelot we had some good times

[@wazeedali9673]

Been to Shark River a few times and what was once a pristine area has now been overgrown with bush and has been neglected. The river itself is beautiful.

[@wazeedali9673]

A few years ago my family and I had the fortunate opportunity to witness a villager save the lives of three people who were drowning in San Souci beach. It was very rough that day and they were drawn in by the strong current. This villager (hero) knew the current flow so well that he was able to execute the rescue dramatically. One of them was a foreigner who had to have CPR done on him,

I’m from Trinidad and I’ve never been to most of the places that you have highlighted on your videos which I thoroughly enjoy. I’m so disappointed that we don’t take care of our beaches and water ways and you should emphasize that people take their trash with them whenever they visit these beautiful places. Looking forward to your next video

for some strange reason my father was driving towards matelot and when he came within sight of the village he stopped and turned the car around. that was back in 1975. he never explained to me why he turned around but matelot has a reputation like SALEM in USA. if you get my meaning.

[@trinihammer]

yeah, but there is always a shortage of something up there in matelot because it is so far. one day is a shortage of rice, another week is a shortage of flour, week after that is a shortage of sugar, week after that is a shortage of butter and on and on . So i dont think you really want to live there.

I’ve absolutely enjoyed this video awesome drone shots Matelot is beautiful 🇹🇹👍

[@Trini_Surfer]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@TheIcthyosaur]

☺ Just yesterday I stopped off at the beach you showed at the beginning, to relax some more a bit. Was coming back from Toco beach. Many years ago, at that very beach, I saw a baby leather back that had just hatched, emerging from the sand and heading out to sea. From the river bank, Shark river looks deceptively shallow but that water can deep.

[@Trini_Surfer]

Great 👍🏼 story my friend and yes shark river can get incredibly deep. So always proceed with caution ⚠️

[@debramoze4921]

Hey Alan, beautiful video as always. I am a fellow Trini living in Florida, so I know or have heard of so many of the places that you go to and I really enjoy all of the views and stops along the way. One thing came to mind at the start of this video, when you said you guys would be taking a drive along the North coast, I immediately thought you could show on a map of Trinidad, at the start of each video exactly where you would be heading that trip, in comparison to where you live in the NW. It might not mean a lot to your viewers who don't know Trinidad & Tobago, but to Trinis like me who have lived away for so many years, I sometimes hear the name of a town or a village and I am thinking, where is that again? Is that in Central or Deep South? Just an idea, not sure if it is possible. Wishing you continued success with this venture, keep up the excellent work. All the best.

[@sophiaruiz6680]

Omg this video was absolutely breathtaking you always bring joy to our hearts in our home. Love how passionate you are to the environment just pray that we Trini's do the same in time to come. Keep up the good work Alan.😁
