Story time Podcast



                                       Story time Podcast 



Hi, I come from a small country called Suriname, which is located in South America. My country is very diverse and multi-cultured. The people are friendly and the food is so tasty that a lot of people in the world try to make knock off products of Surinamese cuisine. I spent a lot of time alone and in spending time alone I got more time to think about the world. I always liked voicing my opinion, and now 7 years ahead I regret letting my anxiety get the best of me. So I decided to create a blog called Storytime ( shachem.blogspot.com). I liked writing about inspiring people and inspiring stories. I am still getting the hang of blogging. While blogging I noticed different people from all over the world would visit my site just to read stories that I wrote. This touched me and inspired me to keep writing despite my busy schedule.  Because even a young lady from a small South American country can have a story to tell the world. After that, the idea to start a podcast came to me. This way I hope to have a closer bond with my readers. I know my older blog readers might have noticed that I deleted some of my past posts and lovely comments that you left behind for me. I am sorry but when I started this blog I saw it more as an online diary. A way to express me, without anyone having to know who I really was. It wasn't really quality writing to be honest. They were mostly a few random poems and rants on life. But since I started getting more attention from my blog readers and noticed that suddenly there were people reading my blog I decided that you guys deserve better than vague stories. So in an effort to supply you with quality content, I decided to start this podcast https://shachem.podbean.com/. Shall we keep it fun?



               How many episodes will the Story time podcast have?



Well you see for now I can't exactly say because I have a personal life as well.
 Writing, blogging, and podcasting are hobbies of mine that I do in my free time. 
But be warned unfortunately  I don't have a lot of free time. That is something you might have noticed as old readers as well. But I do plan on writing more and picking up the phase in the coming week.  Storytime will be posting about Stephanie de Randamie and Daniel Lemmer, stories you should keep an eye out for.  I know I  am behind with a few weeks, but I promise to make it up to my lovely readers.  You see I also wanted to make sure that you have no problems navigating my site. And oh boy doing that takes a lot of work and time and some headaches. 

              Why did the website change so much? 


I do hope you like the new changes because there are some more on the way. I had to make my website mobile-friendly as well. That way you don't have to wait so long for my page to load.  I also hope the new theme makes scrolling through my content easier.  If you want to access the menu, go into the left upper corner.  I also added a privacy policy and cookie policy which you can access through the menu. There is a lot of work to do before my blog is perfect enough for you to scroll through but be patient. I am still learning day by day. But if there are any topics you want me to touch on or suggestions and questions that you have, be sure to send me an email.  I love receiving feedback from my readers.

A Foodie Adventure At Taman Indah Resort In Commewijne

Paint Shopping And Food Stop At Warung Resa

 Paint Shopping And Food Stop At Warung Resa Hello Story Time friends, welcome back! I'm taking you along on another vlog. This video was made on a hectic day. I split the content of my adventures into different parts. So make sure you subscribe and stay tuned. There are a lot of stories that I still have to finish. I wish I had more time for my creative projects. But with my lifestyle in Suriname that is not realistic! Anyway, we're going paint shopping in different stores. I visited HJ De Vries, Malhoe's Building Materials, and a Historex retailer. When we were done combing through stores for our project, I was hungry and tired! So we decided to go to Warung Resa. Their Javanese food reminds me of my late grandmother's and aunt's cooking. It's flavorful and authentic. We had the Gudanang and the Long Tong Tahoe. Both are traditional dishes in Javanese culture. Long Tong Tahoe is made with bean sprouts, Tahoe, and chicken. It's then drizzled with a spicy

Green Key Expo At Torarica

 Green Awareness Expo At Torarica Hola mi amigos welcome back to a new Story Time adventure! There is a vibrant city in the beating heart of the Amazon rainforest! This city is rich with multi-ethnic culture and flavorful food. Of course, I am talking about Paramaribo. Living in the Amazon Rainforest, we're surrounded by greenery. But these parts of the Amazon Rainforest haven't been unaffected by global warming. The recent droughts where multiple rivers and creeks were empty is an example. The gold mining and wood exploitation that happens in our jungles is affecting the beauty of our land. Protecting the Amazon Rainforest means protecting the lungs of the world. Green awareness is a topic that's often mentioned in this part of the world. Hotel Torarica organized a Green Key fair and of course, I had to visit! Now I can finally share the Story with you guys! Creating these Story Time episodes takes a lot of work. So I'd appreciate it if you subscribe and join our tri

Shadows Of Love

 Shadows Of Love Sometimes you must shuffle the deck a few times to be dealt the right hand. And sometimes you meet that King Of Hearts in the first move that the game will demand. In the shadows of love, there are many secrets hidden. Something about you felt familiar, calm, and at the same time forbidden. I wonder what the universe was conspiring when our paths crossed. From a distance, I felt your eyes capture my soul. Maybe this is a story that should never be told! But they say that if you want to enter the paradise of lovers you have to pay the toll! A friend once asked me a question, he said: " What is it you are looking for now that we are getting old?". I told him I wanted someone who could spark my mind, soul, and maybe my inner sexual being. After he exposed the beauty hidden in my poetry, thoughts kept flirting with this hidden feeling. Sometimes we need the right people to ask us the right questions! But sometimes when the ones we hide in our hearts want to kno

Lunch At Hotel Torarica

 Lunch At Hotel Torarica Hello friends, as you noticed, the Story Time U.F.O. hasn't taken off from Torarica yet! When we finished checking in at Royal Torarica we were hungry! It's good that we were only a short walk from Torarica. Through the backyard of Royal Torarica, we found our way into the restaurant of Hotel Torarica. We sat in their dining room and ordered food from their menu. In my vlog, you will see the food items and prices listed on Hotel Torarica's menu. I had some chicken with corn. My plate was filled with greens and even had a chicken sate included. It was delicious! But my favorite had to be the truffle wedges! If you are visiting Hotel Torarica, I'd definitely recommend trying it! They are topped with parmesan cheese. A simple but buttery and flavorful dish. Stew ordered a fish dish that came with watermelon. It was relaxing to have dinner in the backyard of Torarica. We could hear the birds chirping and some birds even landed on our tables. But k

Story time with Donovan Dongo, Dongo brothers selected for W.W.E

   Storytime with Donovan Dongo, Dongo Brothers selected  The Dongo brothers holding the Surinamese flag in front of the  W.W.E performance center in America. Today I have some good news for the people of Suriname. I know I am a bit late with this story, but what can I say. I have been having problems with my Internet provider for a while now.  If you live in Suriname, you probably can relate. But on with Storytime, today we are going to talk about the Dongo brothers.  These guys have proven that dreams do come true, with a lot of hard work and effort.  The World Wrestling Entertainment (W.W.E) has selected Donovan and Leandro Dongo to represent Suriname. They made it past their last tryouts and were selected out of 30.000 applicants. The Dongo brothers have proven what they are made of, but they have also put Suriname on the world map when it comes to wrestling entertainment.  Donovan Dongo shares his experiences with Storytime in a video he recorded. But since I have a

Blogger notes: Happy new year! Storytime in 2022

Happy new year, Storytime in 2022 Hi guys, I want to wish all of you a happy new year. I am learning to stay positive no matter the circumstances. Throughout the years I have become a professional at it. The weird thing is, the better I get at it the better my skills become. I have to say I am proud of myself for getting through last year. There were some painful lessons, as usual. I have come to learn that they are a part of the journey that helps me build my successes. The more I embraced positivity the less my anxiety became.  Anxiety can be a messed-up demon, but the warrior in me kind of grew tired of it and decided to stab it. That's the problem when you know how strong you are.  The only thing is, I just wasn't in a hurry to grow up. Especially if you grew up in the public eye like I did. But I have no regrets. Because each step that I made in life also led me to beautiful people and beautiful experiences. The more content I feel with my life, the more my inn
