Road Trip To Santigron In Tropical Suriname

I am back with a new travel adventure! Exploring the coast of South America helps me discover new places each time. Despite being a local, I have yet to explore many places in Suriname. One by one, I am checking them off my bucket list. Some adventures are planned, but most occur spontaneously. Life drags me on a path where, despite being an introvert, I get to meet many people from different places. After launching our company, we increased our advertising of our services. We had many good and many bad moments. The beginning is always filled with hurdles as you struggle to lay the bricks for a solid foundation. As an entrepreneur, I often have those moments where I wonder if it's all worth the investment, time, and energy. After those few seconds of anxiety, I just brushed it off and got out there again. We can't let our fears and doubts hold us back in life. I am growing older by the day, but that doesn't mean I've stopped living. I take in these moments and learning experiences to treasure them in my heart. Then I remind myself of everything I did that wasn't supposed to be possible, according to people. I remind myself of all the strength it cost me to face each hurdle I encountered. All those past experiences helped me discover how strong I am. The more you level up, the bigger the hurdles become. It may be because of all the adventures I've had. But I am not the type to back down from a challenge! Some people shy away from embracing their inner power. But why should I deny the very thing that's kept me alive so far? In the game of survival, you learn how important it is to follow that instinct deep down in your gut. It's that same gut feeling that encouraged us to take a gamble in life, as we put everything that we have into this business. 😁 We don't have a lot, but when you begin to sow the seeds one day, you can reap the fruits. On our company page, we advertise that we provide services in all the districts. One day, ya client asked us to come to Santigron. I had never been there before, so I took the opportunity to go along on a road trip. Fun fact: In the Surinamese taki taki tongue, Santigron means sand ground. 

When we arrived, my phone battery was already empty, and I asked the client if I could charge it for a few seconds. He was nice enough to help me with that. I asked him if there was a river nearby. It turned out that we were close to the Saramacca River. In my previous Story Time adventure, I brought you to another part of the Saramacca River. Somehow, I always sense if there is a river nearby. It's as if the air is more humid in these parts. Even though it was extra hot on this day, the wind still felt cool. He brought us to the river and we enjoyed the view for a few minutes before continuing our journey. 

Time waits for no one! We headed back to Paramaribo, and I enjoyed the scenery of tropical flowers and trees alongside our Surinamese roads. We stopped at a store on the way back, but it turned out to be closed. Outside the city, you won't always find stores open during the afternoon and night. This differs depending on the location. In the city, you can walk into a Chinese supermarket from early morning till 10-11 pm. If you are lucky, you can find some stores that open past those hours. However, outside of Paramaribo, you have stores that close in the afternoon for a break and then reopen later. Or some just close their shops earlier. I created a vlog of my first visit to Santigrong for you to enjoy. Stay tuned for more travel adventures in tropical Suriname. I hope to be writing to you again soon!
