"Impressed Me!"
Suriname, you impressed me. I didn’t know what to aspect but I had always been curious about this country.
A country with a lot of beautiful nature and a lot of different culture and most of all a huge history. We made a trip to the jungle with our guide and our private driver and cook. And what a cook he is! 😍 Every morning we woke up to the beautiful surprise of his very huge and tasty breakfast!! During the day we where busy doing activities and exploring but to be honest I couldn’t wait

Traveller"Delicious Real Food!"
Benny’s Culinary Magic: A Foodie’s Dream Come True - If I had to name one unexpected highlight of this trip, it would be the food. And that’s all thanks to Benny, our head chef and culinary wizard. Every meal was an explosion of flavors, unlike anything I had ever tasted before. His Cassava soup with coconut milk? Rich, creamy, and pure comfort in a bowl. His Ja Zeker? A dish I had never even heard of before this trip, but now I’m obsessed. Every bite was a love letter to Surinamese cuisine, and honestly, I looked forward to mealtimes just as much as the day’s adventures.
