Exploring the beauty of Suriname's tropical rainforest

" Tree in the Suriname river pass Atjoni, view of the amazon rainforest in Suriname"

Yes, here I am again blogging about the beauty of nature! 🌳🌴Each part of the world 🌎has something that makes it unique in its own way. Looking at this picture that I took with my Nikon D3100, I have to say that in Suriname it is our tropical rainforest that makes us special. We are known as the beating heart of the Amazon rainforest for a reason! 💓 I love exploring my country and discovering the hidden gems in our nature. A lot of Surinamese people haven't even seen these parts of the country. But I can't blame them! Suriname is so big that even I haven't seen all the places. What I can say is that exploring the unique beauty of Suriname's tropical rainforest is worth it! Outside of Paramaribo, you can find the untouched beauty of our nature. Just taking in these moments reminds me how beautiful our planet is. We live in a world worth saving!

Life in the tropical rainforest of Suriname isn't easy for its inhabitants. Most of these villages don't have access to electricity. Some villages have generators that are fueled with oil. Those generators only get turned on during the night time. Having your own electric system is a luxury in these parts. Though some resorts do provide that luxury. But walking among the locals and observing their lifestyle I observed that the luxury of electricity isn't easy to access for them. That breaks my heart compared to all the other parts of the country. If I go to Nickerie I know I won't have that same hassle. In some parts getting a signal is stressful. You have no idea how many important Zoom meetings I missed because of this. 😤But I don't regret my visits. Being in our nature brings me peace. If you plan on traveling to Suriname go explore our rainforest and disconnect from the modern world for a while. In the peace and quiet of nature, you might find out things about yourself.

From the butterflies flying over the Suriname River to the unique tropical birds. The pretty flowers you'll see in the villages and the unique trees in our Amazon jungle are the things that make it easy to fall in love with Suriname. Of course, our great food and diverse kitchen add to that list. Don't be surprised if you see different people in this Dutch-speaking South American country. Our multi-ethnic society blends well. There are different parts of our rainforest to explore. And I'm planning on taking you along for the adventure! So make sure that you subscribe to my blog when you that Story Time U.F.O. pop up on your screen. As I welcome you to journey through Suriname with me, I hope you enjoy this video that I made of my visit to the village of Jaw Jaw. There are also some pictures in it that I made of the rainforest and the places we visit. To reach Jaw Jaw, you will have to take the boat to Atjonie. Thank goodness it's not such a long boat trip. You could easily go to Jaw Jaw and back to Paramaribo in one day. I do want to point out that I made these videos and pictures a while back. I told you, I have a lot of Story Time adventures coming up! Until next time, and can't wait to see you again.✍✊

A Foodie Adventure At Taman Indah Resort In Commewijne

A Foodie Adventure At Taman Indah Resort Hello my friends, today our Story Time U.F.O. 🛸is taking you for a rough landing in the district of Commewijne. We found ourselves in Tamanredjo again. This place is popular for the amount Javanese warungs that you can find there.

Among one of the popular restaurants in this area there is Taman Indah Resort. They are famous for their Berkat and their swimming pool.

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

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
