Visiting Jaw Jaw A Tela, a gorgeous resort in the tropical rainforest of Sipaliwini

" House with hangmok from Jaw Jaw A Tela resort in Suriname"




Hello my dearest Story Time friends from around the world, how are you? 🌷 I am doing fine, today I want to tell you about this jewel that I found in the middle of the village of Jaw Jaw.😍I've been meaning to share this story for a while. But I have so many adventures to share with you, that I just can't post all the stories in one hit. So make sure that you subscribe to my blog by entering your email address when that Story Time U.F.O. pops up on your screen. Jaw Jaw, is a village located in Sipaliwini. I have mentioned Sipaliwini before on my blog. It's a place I enjoy exploring and sharing stories about with you. Sipaliwini is the biggest district of Suriname. This South American country is known as the heart of the Amazon rainforest. The village of Jaw Jaw is a popular tourist destination. For most, it is an opportunity to experience the Amazon rainforest without having to go too far up the Suriname river. Jaw Jaw isn't far from Atjoni, and it's a trip that you could do in a day.  The village of Jaw Jaw is famous for the beautiful river rocks in front of it. Most tourists enjoy relaxing in the Sula's as the river water gives their back a massage. All of this while enjoying the greenery of nature. Sometimes you can even see the birds join you, and a school of fishes passing you by while swimming. Sipaliwini is an experience for local and international travelers. I met some international travelers during this journey. Although it's far away from the luxuries of the city this is the place to visit if you desire to find peace while enjoying the authentic beauty of our tropical rainforest.🌳🌴🌲

While on our adventures exploring the village of Jaw Jaw, we accidentally stumbled upon this beautiful place called Jaw Jaw A Tela. It's a resort and the name A Tela means " In the village" in Saramacaans, the language that the Maroon people speak in the villages that are in this part of the country. The owner was friendly and gave us a warm welcome despite the fact that we were just strangers that had walked into his resort. The beautiful hedge made of flowers at the entrance attracted us to walk in and find out more about Jaw Jaw A Tela. They have a gorgeous Tucan bird living on the resort. I want to thank my YouTube viewer for pointing out to me that the Tucan's name is Africa. The owner allowed us to take a tour of his resort. I loved admiring the details in the woodwork of the beautiful houses that they have in the resort of Jaw Jaw A Tela.

They incorporate a lot of woodwork into this resort. Some of the houses had beautiful traditional woodcarving. There was even a sink made from wood. They have an open-air kitchen and offer different packages at their resort. Including a visit to the famous Tap A watra falls which I have written about a couple of times on my Story Time blog. You can click on the travel label on my site's menu to join me on my travel adventures to different places located in the Amazon rainforest of Suriname. Sometimes I even land in other places around the world. But that is for another Story Time episode.👾👽

This resort has plenty of shade from the trees that are there. 🌳If you want to relax on the benches under the tree or take a nap in a hangmok while the wind gives you a gentle push, the choice is up to you. The place gave off a relaxing vibe, you could also explore the village and hike around while you are staying at this Surinamese resort in the village of Jaw Jaw. 📹📸🎥I made a vlog of my travel adventure for you guys and I hope you enjoy it. In case you are interested in finding out more about the packages that they offer at Jaw Jaw A Tela resort in Suriname, I will add their business card with the phone number and other contact details in it to this post as a picture. I love traveling through warm tropical Suriname and sharing those adventures with you through my Story Time channels. Every view, share, comment, and like that you guys give me is greatly appreciated. Either way, I am building a portfolio of my adventures and I am loving the process. This way I can help other people from around the world discover the amazing hidden places that we have in the world. 💓

I hope you guys enjoyed this Story Time episode and the video that I made. That way you have a better idea of what life is like at this beautiful resort in the village of Jaw Jaw.  This hidden jewel is certainly worth a visit during your travels to Suriname. Of course, I have many more adventures coming up. So stay tuned.  You never know where our next adventure might take us. In this video, we have a treat for you guys. One of the owners gave us an awesome musical performance with his guitar. He is singing a famous Surinamese song, that became an international hit by the Singer Damaru. The song is called mi rowsu (My rose) in Sranang Tongo (local tongue), or Tuintje in mijn hart (Garden in my heart) in Dutch. He surprised me with his talent! Just to show that Surinamese people are indeed talented.🎸🎤 Planning to go on a vacation soon? 🛫🛬Visit my affiliate partner Expedia.

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

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

Hotel Torarica

                               Story Time:       Pool day at hotel Torarica in Paramaribo Hello my dearest Story Time friends from around the world, how has the new year been treating you so far? I am back with a new Story Time episode. Fingers crossed that my schedule allows more posting this year. I have a lot of stories to share with you from my different adventures. In this adventure, we are having a pool day at hotel Torarica in Paramaribo. When I filmed this video I had just reached my first 10.000 views on Youtube. That was a while ago when I just started my Youtube journey.  Filming for Youtube and my blog has been quite the learning journey. From all the technical difficulties to the content I lost and figuring out how to get better shots. But when you are as determined as I am you learn while you are on the go. I am excited to see what fun content I'll create in the coming year. It helps a lot when you subscribe to my blog by filling in your e-mail address when that Sto
