CleAnn / Trinidad and Tabago
When I'm back home in Trinidad and Tobago, I spend my typical evenings just relaxing. I go outside, I sit in my porch. I read the newspapers, I read a book and I just enjoy the breeze and the relaxation. Sometimes I might even go to the beach with some of my friends, it's a lot of fun. And it's very relaxing because I get to be near the seaside, I get to be near the water and I get to take a nice bath. And so I think for me, that's the ideal way to spend an evening. At home, in Trinidad and Tobago, just relaxing.
