Traveling the world full-time as a digital nomad is difficult. It's especially difficult during one of the deadliest and most debilitating pandemics in world history.

Stuck, broke, and alone, Trinikid must find a way to survive in this new virulent world with no way of returning to his home country of Trinidad and Tobago. Prime Minister Keith Rowley had completely shut the borders to T&T to every and anyone for 16 whole months. 16 months is a long time in these circumstances.

Before the pandemic began, Trinikid had set out on a world trip of discovery, love, fun, adventure, and everything along the way. But in travel, as in life, things never always go according to plan.

With only a backpack and a movie blog, this is his story.

Excerpts From Review By Blogger Jason Dookeran:

"Everything starts with The Mustache. Or I should say, we first meet our protagonist, Trinikid, in the grips of a COVID lockdown, contemplating his life and how he ended up there. Naturally, as any reader, we can feel his hesitation, fear, and worry about the current predicament. It's here that we start on a rollercoaster journey that helps our protagonist discover himself. We follow him from one part of the world to another, exploring sex, travel, and the pandemic from the perspective of a digital nomad."

"One of the things that stands out in Trinikid's mini-memoir is how immersed the reader gets. It's easy to feel as though you're sitting with him on some sunlit patio in Tulum or sipping hot cocoa in Bavaria as he recounts his tale. Yet it's not all about the hedonism (which makes up a huge motivator for our protagonist). Oh no. This mini-memoir is equal parts exploration and self-reflection. In many moments, we see our intrepid explorer navigate the mountains and valleys of his own life and understanding where he stands. It's a beautiful coming-of-age tale written from the perspective of a man who has seen a lot for his age."

"The scariest part of the mini-memoir is possibly seeing the pandemic unfold through our protagonist's eyes. It's impossible to understand the gut-wrenching terror of seeing the world lockdown around you. That terror of being stranded in a country you don't know, surrounded by strangers (sometimes with finicky rules), trying to make it from one day to another, is something that you need to experience to understand. The writer helps us to grasp the level of panic perfectly. His struggle in coping with the "new normal" and recovering his social skills is something we all had to go through after the pandemic."

"Naturally, books have their own audiences. However, this one spans a wide range of potential readers. People interested in how a digital nomad survived the worst global catastrophe in living memory would love reading this. This book is right up your alley if you're looking for a fun, light-hearted coming-of-age story. It's not for kids or teenagers since it explores a lot of mature content. However, it also reads like a romance novel at times. All in all, it's a book that you could pick up and read through your next flight. At the end of it, you'll know Trinikid much better, so well that you'd probably want to buy him a beer and commiserate about his losses or celebrate his wins."
