Thank you for sharing your story. It is truly inspirational. Now that I am in my 40s I am beginning to realize that there us more to life than this rat race. I live in the US and make a 6 figure income but feel so unsatified. I crave freedom and simplicity. Your story gives me hope.
Hello, thank you for sharing. I'm happy to hear that our story can be of some sort of inspiration. There is something special about finding freedom in time and finding beauty in the simplicity of life. There is no better time to start than in the present. 🙏
@@backtotheislandPR thank you
Sometimes, a lot of money is not all what is cracked up to be. I rather make less and have more freedom of choice on how I want to live and how i am going to make my money.
Very simply, There is NEVER too high a price to pay for the privilege of owning yourself!!!
This is beautiful. Welcome home to paradise.
One of the benefits of living in PR is that you can do most of your living outdoors. Put heat producing appliances outdoors. Build an outdoor kitchen. Yes do hang laundry outside the items will smell fresher without the use of toxic fresheners. Don’t get caught up with the big house trend they are not only money pits but energy exhausting. Both for humans and energy resources. Grow a good forest.
We both moved three years ago to PR from the states to live without exorbitant taxes, exorbitant insurance, be totally off grid without invasive restrictions, etc. etc.etc. Plus the ability to grow our own food year round. No problem for us living in 176 sq. ft.
You’re guys are doing a fantastic job! Bravo!
Congrats to you! That was a great idea to move, not easy, so wishing you the best in your journey.
Excellent! I developed a huge PR farm starting 22 years ago. I agree getting trees in a too open area.
This is the real American dream. To escape America and be able to live off the land and truly start to enjoy your life.
You guys are an inspiration. I'm glad I found your channel.
Amen Brother, what you guys are doing is basically what we did in January 2020. We lived in Port St.Lucie, Fl. and everything got so expensive that we just couldn't do it anymore. We saw how God was shutting the doors for us in Florida and put a burning in my heart for PR. We had been there a few times visiting some of my wife's family, and really enjoyed it but as for my wife, she said she would NEVER more to Puerto Rico. She was born and raised in Queens, NY and then moved to Florida in her late 30's, and even that was a culture shock for her. She finally got used to Florida and lived there for 20+ years before making the move. God took us to Moca, just 4 minutes down the road from my wife's older cousin that moved their about 15 years ago from Florida tambien. We live in a 950 square ft. house only 5 minutes from the plaza. We have lived there now for almost 4 years and we love it! All of our neighbors take care of each other and help one another. We are truly Blessed. There is only 1 draw back that I have and that is, not being able to see my children and all of the grandchildren. They are all in California and it gets pretty expensive to go back and forth. We were hoping that the kids would come and visit and want to move to PR, but that won't happen! They can't seem to leave our Chicano Culture. I know once they experienced the peace and tranquility of Puerto Rico, they would leave that Culture quick and have peace in their lives for once! We keep everything in prayer. Thank you for sharing your story with us all. May God Bless you and your familia abundantly. God Bless you in The Name of Jesus.
How do you feel the life is on that side of the island? Criminal activities, the crisis with the government and its bankruptcy, access to supermarkets and online buys deliveries, blackouts, extreme heat in the summer and all of that. That is what I keep in mind every time I think about buying a property over there. I am in Florida and would like a second home in PR.
@@vaderladyl The south west side of the Island is beautiful, we don't experience any crime and everything is located within a few minutes from us. Our little neighborhood is amazing, it consists of 3 main families. Everyone is either related or have grown up together. We love everyone there and everyone looks out for each other. Living outside of the Big cities is much different. It is much quieter and layed back. I suggest that you take a few days and look around different parts of the Island and see what you think. Aguadilla Airport is a good place to fly into. Hope this helped, God Bless you.
May the Lord Jesus bless you and your family and protect your home at all times. God bless you
I miss my Puerto Rico I am from arecibo I am in the us jersey my dad had a store in arecibo by the hospital regional de arecibo its called colmado collitoste its still there he sold it in 1989 and we all moved back to Chicago and I want to moved back to Puerto Rico 😢 anyway good luck to you and your wife and family god bless
Your house is not very small, it's just that the rest are too big.
Beautiful property Brother 👊😎👍
Only a few min in and already love this family story. You definitely have your priorities on point!
What a gift you are giving your children, priceless!
Awesome choice! Beautiful family 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕🙌🏾
Puerto Rico para los Puerto riqueños. Que les vaya de lo mejor
My man that’s the best thing you could of done God bless
You guys have been blessed. You really don’t need to leave. You can build onto it with a growing family. If you want to be totally self sufficient you only need a well and collect rainwater and have killer filtration system and you’re set. I live in San Lorenzo on an acre and I wish my acre was flat like yours. I’ve only been living here a year after the restoration of the home. But I still need to put in a lot of work for retaining walls and all that which you don’t need to worry about. Aguadillas is a very nice place as well. So if you got good schools for your kids and the supermarket is not too far you’re all set. Just dig a well and a good filtrations system and your good to go.
Hello, We do love it here. We are just fine tuning where we will feel most at home. We still have all of these things in mind and plan on taking it to our next property. Keeping our eyes opened. 😊
@@backtotheislandPR that’s great. Just remember to give yourselves at least two years before marking a decision. That’s how long it usually takes for a person to settle in a new place. A minimum of two years. Then if you feel it’s not for you them you have to do what you must. I pray for God to help you make the right decision for yourselves. God bless you and guide you.
Qué Dios los bendiga éso es un sueño realisado. Me encantan ver
Como Puerto Riqueños 🇵🇷 están volviendo a la Isla, qué Dios los bendiga y les conceda todos sueños y sus peticiones.

Welcome to Puerto Rico and welcome to Manantiales neighboor. I came to PR in the 70's and been living here in Manantiales for 44 yrs. Love this place, very peaceful. God bless
My beautiful island…PUERTO RICO! I live in southern Florida, I am working to be growing my own food. GROW,GROW,GROW!
Está bien ustedes tienen todo lo que nesesitan no importa lo grande o pequeña de la casa. Tienes techo, familia, y te mudaste a mi isla, que bueno tienes mucho terreno para sembrar. Van progresando poquito a poquito con la ayuda de Dios. Les deseo muchas bendiciones adelante.👍🙏🙏
Welcome back home to your island of enchantment. I also moved down here ( Caguas) over 40 years ago and never left. Best of luck.
Love your home, don’t worry about it being small & cozy. ❤️ Your place reminds me of when I grew up in Brooklyn New York in the 70’s and we shared bedrooms with bunk beds too. Family of seven, but my parents made it work in our apartment building. They owned the apartment building with 4 apartments. We lived in one of the apartments and my dad had the basement finished for us to utilize. Your place looks peaceful and tranquil! Life is about being comfortable and at peace! Thanks for sharing your wonderful video! God bless you & your family! 😊❤️🙏🏾
Congratulations !!! Continued success! I love it! You are blessed! Keep reaching for the stars! ♥️
Thank you carmen! We appreciate your kind words, we appreciate it.😊
Esas losetas eran las que habían en casa de mi abuela en Canóvanas, yo las dejaría y las mandaría a pulir como nuevas. Vi otro video en el Viejo San Juan tenían las mismas losetas verdes y las dejaron y las restauraron, se veían hermosas.
Exacto. Eso es terrazzo del original que dura para siempre. Pulido y sellado se ve bello. Yo los tengo en casa de mis padres alla tambien, pero las mias son beige.
So happy and grateful for your family’s accomplishments. 🙏🏽❤️🇵🇷🏝️
Thank you very much. We really appreciate your kind words. 🙏
Now that’s life! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Arecibo la ciudad que me vio nacer, amo ese lugar y mas si es fuera del pueblo que esta bien feo y abandonado, hace poco fui por alla y el pueblo se veia mas vivo pero todavia le falta mucho trabajo. Gracias por el video, me motiva a buscar un terreno para comprar.
Donde en Arecibo ? Soy de alli tambien y no se Donde queda esto- BAJADERO ? Garrrochales?
I remember as a kid living in PR near San Juan in a town called Rio Piedras. I still have family there that live in Caguas and Bayamon. I'd love to be able to buy a piece of property out there someday. That would be very cool!!
I had some family in Rio Piedras. Hope some day in the future you may be able to find a little place of heaven here to call home.
Mi Puerto Rico es Hermoso!! Saludos desde Aibonito!
Love what you are doing with your 5 acre farm in Puerto Rico. Beautiful!
What a dream come true. My grandparents were born and raised in P.R. one in the Santa Isabelle area and the other in the Salinas area. I've been there once and loved it. I really would love to go back. Best wishes to you and your family. Dios le bendiga!
Hermosa casa y hermosa finca, Dios los bendiga.
Dios te bendiga. Esta bella la casita. Very homey and cozy.
beautiful don't give up I did the same thing and thanks GOD this year going back to the island, so I be there leaving the cold weather then come back to Jersey when hot again cuss I want to enjoy my retirement. THANKS GOD.
Pretty cool. I'll be in Puerto Rico in February and have long thought that inland PR would be a great place to survive an apocalypse with a small farm and a strong community.
Hope for no ocean levels rising!
Nor tsunamis
Both of which the US is prepping for, for the last decade if not longer…
Plus these things are prophesied by prophets today
God’s will is safest place, no doubt, but ppl perish for lack of knowledge, also
@@YeshuaKingMessiah No, it was prophesied long ago by the prophets from the 12 Tribes of Israel!
I want to move my family from California to PR. Love the spot..
God bless you both many many blessings with the vision and God all is possible ❤ and peace
This is everything! Exactly what I want to do! Get a farm back in PR!!! You guys are inspirational. Thank you ❤

Baya mi jente. God bless you and your farm 🚜
Love criolla tiles is so sad when people get rid of them :( they sell for $10 each just so you know how special they are and I love the green ones when they get crystallize they look amazing beside that great to see people coming to work the land goos luck
Makes me sad too. Terrazzo is beautiful. Polished and sealed they look amazing. They are still there under that vinyl planking.
Why are they called criolla tiles? Thank you for bringing that to our attention. 😊
@@soniaburguillo233 I know "criolla" means that is typical or comes from origins or culture of a country, in this case Puerto Rico and Spain, but in relation to tiles, it is a type of a very specific decoration or styling of some tiles made here called criolla(creole in English), but why they call this specific ones criolla, I don't know, because they are not made of clay but terrazzo and in a different style. Maybe because we use criollo when we refer to something intrinsic to our country and culture.
God blessed you with the house and land so beautiful😮😮😮 so quiet so much green you need a dog but it's so pretty . Blessings 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻and I subscribed thanks
Que bella la propiedad, Jehovah blessed you guys. Enjoyed your home.

Beautiful home!
It's been a while since the last time I visited PR, thanks for showing us your journey.
Congratulations! I love Puerto Rico. That place has so much potential. You are my hero, brother.
It's nice to see people running to, and not away from Puerto Rico.
Thank you, it has been nice to be back.Not to say it hasnt come with its challenges, but we are enjoying this journey we are on.
Proud of your family
Wow! I just came across your UA-cam Channel and I love it! I love the way you think! Bright and Abundant Blessings to you and your family!
Thank you very much. We are just striving for more, one opportunity at a time. Thank you for watching and supporting the channel. 🙏
Definitely some truth in this comment. People moving to PR and becoming homeowners can help make needed changes.
Wao , that's a beautiful house, love it, and all that space you have outside omg.
Congratulations and blessings to your family. What an inspiration.🙏🏾🙌🏾
Amazing Property. I would plant it with Citrus Trees and lots on Pineapple. You are sitting on a Gold Mine!
Congratulations. You guys did an amazing job and if anyone don’t say it I’m proud of y’all! Many blessings to y’all. I’m moving to PR this week and am embarking on an amazing adventure myself. You definitely give me inspiration. Continue to be a blessing and be blessed
Aww man thank you! Really appreciate that 🫱🏻🫲🏽
Thank you for sharing there in paradise..
Cant wait to see the next project. Stay blessed!
Thank you! Yes, more to come soon🙏🏽
Dios les continué bendiciendo 🙏🏼
You could probably add a well or create a man made stream in the property to be completely self sustainable. Or maybe set up a system that collects rain water for the agriculture. I’m not sure how it work but I’ve seen other people doing it on UA-cam. Look into and see if it is a possibility for you guys. I love what you guys are doing and hoping to do the same. May this journey in your life go smoothly for you guys and May it be everything you wish and more.
What a blessing!!!
Thank you for sharing. Nice place.
That's beautiful God bless you 🙏. I am from Arecibo also a place called Bajadero. You're going to do amazingly well. Lot's of blessings to your whole family.
Yaay!! I'm from Arecibo too. Though I live in Chicago for 41 years, I go to PR every year.
