What do I need to know before moving to Port of Spain?

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Port of Spain, they said...

"We were limited to what the realitor wanted to show us, mainly West Morings. My husband talked to people at work (other expats and locals) and they told us about different areas. We insisted in viewing the other areas we knew of. (Like the US, realitors are looking at their best interest; not yours. They want to show you where they have rental properties, need I say more...) Secondly, Drive to work and back during your work hours once you find the area you like. Adjust the hours or the location depending on your choice. Everyone complains about traffic, but Houston's traffic is the same if not worse with 6 lanes on every road," remarked another expat in Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago.

"Before moving to Port of Spanish, you should familiarize yourself with the city. Port of Spanish is the capital of Trinidad and Tobago and a rich cultural centre. It has a tropical marine climate with temperatures ranging from the mid-70s F (24 C) during the day to the mid-60s F (19 C) in the evenings. The city boasts a diverse population and is a great destination for those seeking a mix of big city amenities and laid-back island vibes. Port of Spanish is also the nation’s transportation hub, so you can easily make your way around the country. It is important to take precautions to avoid crime while in the city. The cost of living in Port of Spanish is generally considered moderate, so you may need to adjust your budget accordingly. Lastly, keep in mind that Portuguese, Spanish, and English are all commonly spoken languages in the city," said a member in Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago.
