I am going to St Thomas next week to interview for a job. I would need to find a place to live. Did someone help you find a place to live? I’m worried about finding something decent and safe in my price range. Good luck with employment!
@@kathycave3263 Thanks! I'll be staying with friends. Zillow and Craigslist are still good sources, yet may not provide tours at this time-in which you will want. The apts are much cheaper than where I'm coming from (NYC🤦🏾♀️).
Nice thing about the USVI no sales tax. Gas prices are very high though. For electric I use Solar Panels. Cable TV sucks here & expensive so I use my AT&T TV here. Home Internet isn't bad here at all. I kept my Metro PCS service & works fine here from mainland with unlimited data but 5G not work all over here yet. Amazon Prime is not available here but you get it with in a week.
@@ashleyharris1548 yes there is a U.S. immigration office here and social security department. Its no different than immigrating to any of the other 50states
Hi, I really appreciate the openness and not sugarcoating things ;) ... "You don't want to walk around like you are new, and be taken advantage of ..." 😂🤭 Can't be more true. But unavoidable ;)
Hey hey to my Caribbean friend. You have me lolol at, blackout with WAPA and don't go nowhere by yourself!🤣 This is definitely true last time I been home there were blackouts. Never cease to amaze me. Anyhow you have some very great pointers about our paradise. Home will forever be home. Just miss it so much and wish we could teleport back and forth as we wish from time to time. Cold snowy days like these makes me miss home even more. Great content keep it up. Watching from Germany! 🇩🇪
Great video. You have a nice chill vibe. I visited St. Thomas twice and the people were really nice. The food I tasted was delicious. Would love to visit again once we get through this mess.
Its very surprising how i dont hear people talk about the US Virgin Islands. The rent there is cheap compared to where i am up north in the US. I've also lived in the Caribbean so i would definitely love the food and will be used to driving on the left side. Also, im wondering if its a State to State and country to country thing because roads seem to be terrible EVERYWHERE. No matter how much taxes u pay. We want to go to USVI this summer but it's so expensive. Im going to do more research and add this to my list of one of the places i want to relocate. Im also going into IT so i need to research how jobs are for IT there.
Glad to hear that you’re interested in moving here. I also do IT and it is an excellent field to get into down here. We need some diversity in the IT field as well. Being a small community most of the IT guys and gals know each other. If you make up your mind on coming here, let me know and I’ll try to give you as much info as you can. Definitely plan a trip “no passport required!” The trip down will definitely help you make up your mind!
Groceries can depend on where you use to shop in the states. If you are use to shopping at low end Grocery stores then the prices will be a shocker. But if you say live in Georgia or Florida and shopped Publix then your shock may not be that bad. Lol
Wanda Andkiddos I fortunately have a 300 watt solar panel, which charges 3 backup batteries. I usually use power from it from sun up to sundown. On average it gives me about 12 hours of power using around 200watts per hour.
Thanks for the recommendation. I will be posting an updated video shortly. This video was one of my first videos when I just started doing UA-cam so the equipment and knowledge I had for doing video was sub par. Stay tuned for a new video coming soon!
How do people in the VI feel about people from the states? Do they dislike them? I'm half african american originally from Georgia planning to move to the vi within a few years and I'm wondering if people will dislike me for being from the states
Statesiders are considered "Yankees" no matter which state you're from and as stated in the video they'll give a chance, but if you get on their bad side or prove not to be trustworthy, that's it for most.
@@mblydenvlogs Thank you for the reply, that's good to know, I've been living in Europe so long and people here always just see me as a foreigner and a stranger no matter how much i try to fit in, good to know that's not the case in the VI, I'm fed up with the racism in Europe.
They like everybody you could be from Mars they dont care...but trust no one here .. But it is very very pretty in stcroix .. But only good for visiting annually...its a good place to be vacation...I know people who visit every year for 20 years
I worked down there for a couple months and I'll tell you bro im from the streets.....they love black people but they will know if you arent from there its really an island so you have to know that. Everyone speaks and are for the most part respectful but you have others who arent. Everyone says goodnight even in the evening lol but the sunset is very fucking nice. They live by a code and its not easily open to new people they believe in brutal punishment if crossed so remember that.
Hard to hear mehn...but facts. I've lived here in the VI for 13 years. Came from Hawai'i. I have a love/hate relationship with this place 😂 WAPA sucks.
I know it’s hard to hear. This is one of my first videos. The audio gets better later on and I’m also in the process of doing an updated video posting before the end of October!
Thank you just what I was looking for. Here in my home state Louisiana. I am use to hurricanes my daughter and I went through both hurricane Marco and hurricane Laura in the same night. The cost of living here in the US is getting out outrageous! I lived in Los Angeles and what we paid for a one bedroom apartment I could have brought two ranchers for my race horses. But thanks for the info. Hay do you guys use American money?
I've been to St Thomas twice and I'm applying for my USVI nursing license to come work a travel assignment for 3 months. Looking for any tips to keep food costs low. Also wondering if there are any places to meet local people since covid has many things shut down. Enjoyed the video 🙃
Can you provide me with info on the nursing contract. I'm a new grad nurse and I think I would be interested in doing a nursing assignment there after I get a year of experience. Thank you
Hi my island paradise . Miss my family . You had me laughing about Wapa and licks . Too funny to me but not for you all with constant power going out. I experienced that on my last visit last year Nov. Seems like every time I visit . I don't miss that . Good video would love to live back home part time and here in NC.
How come you don't have solar, homie? You never have to be without power. I would think that solar would be killer down there in the US Virgin Islands. BTW is it easy to get a roommate down there? Plus I have a love behaved dog. 🙂
Yes USD is the currency used in the Virgin Islands. That reminds me I'm making a follow up video to this one, because this was one of my first "official" video that I posted on UA-cam and the location I choose for the 1st 5 minutes was not optimum with the background noise :-(
Good Day. The Internet on a scale of 1-5 would be a 4. This is compared to a 5 in Georgia where I used to live. I have personally worked for 2 of the Internet service providers. Being that we live on the island the choices of whom they get their data from is limited, so in most cases the ISPs source may overlap. VIYA is the main wired internet service on island and depending where you reside some of the other ISP can provide you with fiber to your residence or business as well. Most of the other ISPs are wireless and providing that your house is in close proximity to a tower or Access Point, you can expect relatively good service. I personally have VIYA and though they've been relatively good within the past, myself and several other customers have complained about spotty service lately. It may be due to new demands for Bandwidth due everyone being at home and online per COVID19.
Wow. Prices have skyrocketed here to. One good thing I’ve seen though is where a local grocery store has instituted something called a “ price freeze” on some frequently purchased items like cereal, eggs, milk etc.
Hello. Thanks for information. I have thought out most part of plans to relocating to St.Thomas. If you have any more must have information on transition. Please reach back. Big up ur self. Peace
I liver there for five years. If I could say anything. Dont do it. The cost of living is super high and the people are jerks. It's great if you're a millionaire and own a boat and a have a rental property to rent out. I'd say go to puerto rico and travel to v.i. if you want to go there.
Good video but background noises drown out what you are saying. Also since the dialog is unscripted, at times it appears you are tired, trying to think of things to say, etc. please try a Point to Point Discussion Topic list.
I was down there round Halloween man and I loved it. Hope to come back one day. I tied not to look brand new. But the people round Anna's retreat liked me I think. And I think I got pretty close to the sisters and mother at snow whites grill in tillet gardens. Awsome place man!!
@@mblydenvlogs wow I'm amazed you were able to pass those gates. I use to go hiking up them sides but later on they restricted residents from entering Botany Bay.
If u plan moving to Puerto Rico avoid moving to the tourist area.. and go with someone u know from there not to get rip. Despite being a u.s territory main language is Spanish.. so yeah or make friends over here that help s too to get good bargain sometimes and also know what jobs are hiring..
Sorry about the background noise, I used my iPhone and was filming a little bit after 5 so the noise you're hearing is from people headed home after work. I would recommend listening to the video on a mobile device.
Puerto rico is way cheaper.and it's also u.s Territory.. .. car insurance here is only 200 a year.. water here only 20 30 a mos.. electric company charge u 50 to 150 a mos .rent is 200 800 ..more like 500 to 800 in Metro area. But the country is 250 400 ..some place that are furnished is 450 500 but includes all sometimes when looking at places outside of san juan Metro
Unfortunately I don’t know of any online listings except for a page on Facebook. Otherwise there is a local publication of houses and apartments for rent.
Hi. It’s at. Thomas coming over the hill to Botany Bay. Featured in the clip is what’s known as a VOR station. That la how airplanes navigate using waypoints. If your coming to STT on a commercial airline, that station is most likely the last waypoint the pilot used when filing his flight plan!
Since we live on an island there are several items we don’t have access to and therefore has to be purchased online.(in most cases from the the states) Those said items, more often than not incur a shipping charge.
Yes you may. There are 4 major car rentals companies here and several other mom and pip rentals. We drive on the left down here. So providing that your cool with that you’re good to go!
I have a question for you.... So about 2 years ago, I vacationed in St. Thomas for about a week, took the ferry to St. John, met tons of beautiful people but the only problem that I kept having was the way that I usually dress made me stand out like a sore thumb. Here in Arizona it's mostly hot year round so I wear dashiki and I am very afrocentric but out there one lady said that I kept being outcast because of all the African attire, the locals probably assumed that I was like royalty in Africa...lol...true story, I walked into one of the jewelry stores and I swear they all rushed over to me showing the most expensive jewelry. 🤣 so, I've decided that I want to relocate to VI end of 2021...so, what is a typical standard of dress for women?
Majority of our culture (which would include attire) is heavily influenced by Jamaica and New York. It’s different down here. You see some guys walking by in Timberland boots in 99 degree weather...lol
Tina my family visited and love it . We would love to relocate like today . What are your plans in terms of relocating? Employment etc. We can talk via fb sansycheeks Townsend thnks .
@@sweetz8837 unfortunately I made the decision to completely disable all of my social media at the beginning of the year, but to answer your questions, I am considering relocating at the end of this year, if it's safe enough to do so...aside from being an Independent artist, I am also a grant writer so I can literally live anywhere and make money, but sure let's link up, my email is blakoutdesignz@gmail.com
You should first explain that the US Virgin Islands are made up of St. Croix, St Thomas and St John! You are referencing only St Thomas and not explaining the difference between them and what each one has to offer. Just some construction criticism! My family is from the USVI and been going there since 1971!
He is good he said which island he is going to speak about. Maybe you should do ypur own UA-cam on all three islands. Good job very detail information about st.thomas.
@@mblydenvlogs Tell me more, I was there until last year!. Even with Limetree shutting down, rent prices on STX are still at an all time high. After 25 years of dealing with high rents, I finally gave up ever getting ahead there. Only time they were low was after Hovensa shut down in ‘12!

I’m looking for a rental car while I’m here for work
I have a question for you....
So about 2 years ago, I vacationed in St. Thomas for about a week, took the ferry to St. John, met tons of beautiful people but the only problem that I kept having was the way that I usually dress made me stand out like a sore thumb. Here in Arizona it's mostly hot year round so I wear dashiki and I am very afrocentric but out there one lady said that I kept being outcast because of all the African attire, the locals probably assumed that I was like royalty in Africa...lol...true story, I walked into one of the jewelry stores and I swear they all rushed over to me showing the most expensive jewelry. 🤣 so, I've decided that I want to relocate to VI end of 2021...so, what is a typical standard of dress for women?
Majority of our culture (which would include attire) is heavily influenced by Jamaica and New York. It’s different down here. You see some guys walking by in Timberland boots in 99 degree weather...lol
Tina my family visited and love it . We would love to relocate like today . What are your plans in terms of relocating? Employment etc. We can talk via fb sansycheeks Townsend thnks .
@@sweetz8837 unfortunately I made the decision to completely disable all of my social media at the beginning of the year, but to answer your questions, I am considering relocating at the end of this year, if it's safe enough to do so...aside from being an Independent artist, I am also a grant writer so I can literally live anywhere and make money, but sure let's link up, my email is blakoutdesignz@gmail.com
Tina L Clark what is the easiest grant to get for a small business

Hello ! I need to talk with you
Email me at mblyden@me.com
You should first explain that the US Virgin Islands are made up of St. Croix, St Thomas and St John!
You are referencing only St Thomas and not explaining the difference between them and what each one has to offer.
Just some construction criticism!
My family is from the USVI and been going there since 1971!
He is good he said which island he is going to speak about. Maybe you should do ypur own UA-cam on all three islands. Good job very detail information about st.thomas.
The virgin islands have low income housing, section 8 vouchers and welfare.

@@rosemarydolliver prices for rent were much lower previously on st. Croix prior to the hurricanes, but post Irma/Maria they’ve jumped significantly!
@@mblydenvlogs Tell me more, I was there until last year!. Even with Limetree shutting down, rent prices on STX are still at an all time high. After 25 years of dealing with high rents, I finally gave up ever getting ahead there. Only time they were low was after Hovensa shut down in ‘12!
