Hi Steely Pan!
My name is Maxwell Moulson and I am reaching out to you because I desperately need your help.
Here is my story: I am half Trinidadian and I would like to give back to Trinidad and Tobago by promoting tourism there.
The division of tourism in Tobago set up a competition to find The Island Connoisseur! A Canadian who would travel to Tobago and spend the summer months doing all the fantastic things the island has to offer while sharing their adventures through social media. To enter the contest applicants had to create a 30 second video and write a bio about themselves explaining why they are the best person for the job. There were over two hundred applicants and the judges chose me as one of ten finalists. Now it is up to the world to vote among us to decide who will be the Tobago Island Connoisseur.
I am the youngest finalist at 20 years old. I am currently in college and am working. Something like this, for someone my age, at this point in my life, would be a life-changing experience. I couldn’t possibly imagine a better way to spend the summer and I wouldn’t want to spend it any other way. I am upbeat, enthusiastic, and eager and would be perfect for this.
I am requesting your assistance because while I am doing everything in my power to inform the world of my candidacy, some of the other finalists are light-years ahead. The winner is chosen strictly by the amount of votes they receive. If you could mention me in a tweet, I would appreciate the surge of votes that I’m certain I would get and desperately need! I unfortunately do not possess the following that the other finalists have, but I might be able to become the Island Connoisseur and personally share my experiences with you and your followers with your support.
If you found the time to read this long message I sincerely thank you. The voting for this contest ends Friday May 16th at 9PM. The links to everything associated with this are below.
Thank you!

I NEED YOUR HELP! I'M RUNNING OUT OF TIME!
Hello Social Media Personnel,
My name is Maxwell Moulson and I am reaching out to you because I desperately need your help with the biggest, most important event in my life thus far (I am not exaggerating).

SHAY CARL! I NEED YOUR HELP! I'M RUNNING OUT OF TIME!
Hi Shay Carl!
My name is Maxwell Moulson and I am reaching out to you because I desperately need your help. I watched your episode of ShayTards today where you spoke about helping Tyler out and it was inspiring and touching; you should be so proud of yourself! And I feel so awful about what happened to Tyler's girlfriend's father... :(
My request doesn’t involve business, but it does involve the biggest, most important event in my life thus far (I am not exaggerating).
Here is my story: I am half Trinidadian and I would like to give back to Trinidad and Tobago by promoting tourism there. I am aware that after high school you spent some time in Trinidad as part of your LDS mission and that is absolutely fantastic!

#60days A Week In Sint Maarten
My family and I have been in Sint Maarten for five days now and I have to say that I am loving it! The weather is perfect! It has been a solid 27 degrees and sunny every single day and that's the forecast for our remaining three days. I have woken up at 6:30am each day but it's not a bad thing; I just naturally wake up with the sun; I feel like that's the way it's supposed to be.
Some people may be wondering why I spelled it Sint Maarten instead of St. Martin. Well either one is correct. That is because the island is actually divided in half: the French side and the Dutch side. We are staying on the Dutch side.
The locals are very friendly and helpful, always smiling and laughing; they sure now how to keep the party going!
Yesterday, April 30th, was day one of their Grand Carnival Parade and it was tons of fun! The costumes, the music, the energy, the only thing I was sad about was that it only lasted about three hours! My Dad and I stopped a few of the players and took some photos with them. We learned that the winning "band" gets $10,000 USD. To my knowledge the band does not simply include the musicians but also all the people dressed up in costumes and dancing. The photo below only represents one of the many bands that were involved in this parade. Every 30 or so car lengths, a different band dressed in completely different costumes would come through followed by or preceded by a bus with musicians playing live music.
On Friday we've booked a trip to Saint Barthélemy or St. Bart's for short. It's an island even smaller than Sint Maarten, only 21 square kilometres. It's the island where all the celebrities are said to visit. Hopefully I see someone famous! Haha.

We are staying at the Royal Islander Hotel on Maho Beach; it's very pretty. The constant planes are a little distracting, however we've gotten used to it. Because the beach is so close to the runway, people like to stand up to the fence when a big jet is about to take off, and the force from the engine actually blows people off their feet and into the water. It's pretty funny to watch but pretty dangerous.
On Tuesday we visited "Baie Nettlé" on the French side of the island; it was very peaceful. You couldn't hear the planes and there weren't many people there. The waves were much more calm than those at Maho Beach, and there was a huge dock to jump/ dive off of into the water. The restaurant at Baie Nettlé was called Dreams and was nice, but VERY expensive. On the French side the currency is Euros not American Dollars and so while prices seemed only a little higher than normal, once you saw the Euros symbol after it, a little higher became A LOT higher (we spent $180 USD on lunch). Overall the experience was enjoyable. I'd definitely go back (if I had the money).

Today (Thursday) we will be going to Orient Bay, aka the Nude Beach. Yeah... a nude beach with my parents... that's what I where I want to go... they better keep their clothes on! Haha wish me luck!
I will let you know how today and tomorrow go! Thanks for reading! Don't forget to vote for me (Maxwell Moulson) as the Island Connoisseur at http://vote.60daysinparadise.com ! :)
