This is the most honest video of any country I have ever heard. Thank you. God bless you.
I first visited the Bahamas when I was 11 and fell in love with the people. I said I'd live there one day. I'm 50 now and still have the same dream.
Go live your dream 💪😊
Me too making plans now to retire in exuma or eluthera
Dont dream your live go living your dream now
Don’t believe the hype. If you’re white be wary. The capital is dangerous. Not as safe as when I was a kid there. Prices were high even in the 90s. Bad jobs that don’t pay well. If I was rich. I would move back. Probably visit Ancestors Origins of Red Bay. Bahamians are different from everyone. Bad influence from Abroad. 🤦🏾♂️
Love the honesty girl...not what the tourism office would like but real people live real lives. I have been researching the outer Islands for a few years now and by far you were the most informative of anything seen or read. My dream is Long Island, off grid (solar) and growing my own food. I have no illusions as to how hard this would be but some things are worth everything! Blessings from Canada!!!
Hi Tim! Thank you so much for watching my video. I appreciate your kind words. Long Island is one of the few islands 🏝 I haven't visited. You can definitely live off the grid there. Yeah, man...I have to be honest. No sense in lying. Much love!
Please my name is kwabena. I'm from Ghana. But now I live in Korea ,please Can I get your number?
I'm a Bahamian who has been living in Canada for a while and obviously haven't been home in more than a year due to the pandemic. The Bahamian vibes and photos/videos really make me feel good. Praying I can at least come home to Nassau in the summer
Awwwwww...let me tell you something....there truly is no place like home. I went there in December/January and the MINUTE I saw the water and flowers, I fell back in love. We have our faults, but we happen to be from one of the most beautiful countries on the planet. Hope you make it back home soon and stay warm in Canada! Thanks for watching.
Your right on all points. Thanks for the tips 🙏🏽🇨🇦🇧🇸
I so missed living in the Bahamas , left at the age of 15 . Missed the wonderful ppl and pride they have for they're Bahama-Land🇧🇸
Yup. We so have a lot of love and pride for these little islands in the sun🌞. Even though we is talk bad about the place when we ready. That is home. 🏠
Where did you move to?I hope not the stolen usa.
Lord give me SKRENTT....BOL at "stolen USA.". Yes, I right there. Lol.
I know this a older video but in the process of moving to the Bahamas I love all of your videos. Going into a new phase of life
You had me at the intro. Thank you so much for this. Suɓbed. ❤
Thank you for keeping it real I'm so grateful for your honesty thank you.
Thank you so much. You are so welcome! I appreciate you.
thank you very much for this great advices toward my coming to the Bahamas next coming month
This is a really great video and I love how you’re so open and honest about all things Bahamian, I would love to visit the outside islands one day.
Thank you so much for subscribing, Matt! I appreciate that so much. And you should definitely visit the Family Islands. Go to Exuma.
Thank you so much for your video I loved it! I’m hoping relocating soon & your video helped me a lot ! 🫂💗
You are absolutely welcome, honey. Thank YOU for watching!
This was a great video and you unpacked a lot. Yeah a lot of this stuff I had forgotten about but I’m gonna share it with a lot of friends who are traveling with us this year.
Please do! That would be so incredible. I have so much content on Nassau that they could benefit from. Thanks a million.
Thank you ! I just subscribed because you gave some good tips & the real of what it is like living there. I am to purchase a home in the Caribbean soon as my family is from Jamaica.
Very nice vid. Enjoyed the straight talk. And the camera loves This Bahamian Gyal -- she's so smart and charming, and she represents her country very well.
Haha...Hi Jolly! Yeah, man...I have to keep it real. I love my country, but we have some problems. Can't lie about that. Lol. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for the awesome 👌 information. It completely blew my high (on life, I don't do drugs). You helped me snap out of it. I've been imagining myself move to an island 🏝 in the Bahamas. Not happening. I'll visit though.
@@YoGirlChe Ha ha. Hi CheNicole.Thank you so much for watching and for the kids words. Listen, a lot of people romanticize life on an island. It's beautiful, but there's a lot that comes along with that, too. And it's not all pretty. Thanks for subscribing!

Thanks Bahamian.Girl !!!! You are awesome !!!

@@ThisBahamianGyal I live here permanently ❤
Very interesting content. I would love to relocate to the Bahamas. Could you please tell me how easy/difficult is it for migrants to get employments in the Bahamas. I hold a BSC in Computer Science but currently specialize as a ICT Customer support/Sales agent. Regards.
I’m relocating home next month & had to get a refresher😂 this was great🇧🇸
Thanks for the advice
Wow. I'M so grateful for informations. I didn't know all this things. TNX you are real sweet!!!

You spot on with everything, great video!

Great information! Well done! 👍
This is amazing information. Thank you! I'm seriously considering moving there.

Thank you So much for the info!!! A real Eye 👁 opener for me!!
You sre so welcome. Just wanted to be straight up with my audience.
@@ThisBahamianGyal
I appreciate that. I had these big dreams of living in Caribbean but I realize that it takes big money 💵 to live there.
Absolutely! Listen...I live in the US now and sooooo many people think island living is so cheap. Ha! You have to have some serious dollars to live the island dream that many people see in the movies. But, island living had its perks.
Thanks a lot. I'm moving there few months from now... great help.
Thank you so much, Gerone. I appreciate that so much. Thanks a million for watching.
I like that you promote the family island,you give first hand information because your experience on those island good job.you told the truth about Nassau so any one that comes will know what to expect,keep up the fantastic job.
Thank you so much for watching. Happy you enjoyed it.
Thank you! Very thorough
Enjoyed your video learned alot maybe one day I visit ❤
You cracked me up. Thanks for the tips
Glad you enjoyed! Haha...my job is done. Heehee.
Listennnnn!!! Listen to me! This was 100% on point. I'm still trying to find the lie. One thing I can say about you Rogan is that you give the truth 100% of the time. Sometimes people try to pretty up The Bahamas. It's already a beautiful place, but like you said...it's a real place in the REAL WORLD. We have problems just like everyone else. Thanks for touching on the crime, the potcakes and how slow the damn "GUBMENT" is. I hope people watch this video, like seriously because this is a great place to start for people who think The Bahamas is all peaches and cream.
I already see how this could be a multi-part video because you need to talk about how Bahamians feel about certain foreigners. You know just what I talking about. Anyway, keep up the great work. I can't wait for your channel to blow the hell up because your content is boss.
Thank you, Kelly! Look here...I have to tell the truth. Doesn't make sense for me to lie. When the people move to The Bahamas they would ask why no one told them. LOL. BTW...that is a great idea to do a series. I thought about that because there is sooooo much to talk about. When I was done recording I realized I missed a couple of things.
Am watching u from nassau u right on point a true bahamian keep up the good work
Hi Sydney!!! Thanks for watching. You are making me miss Nassau. Child....I have to be honest. If I lie, yinna ga call me out. Lol. You know Bahamian don't play! 🤣🤣🤣🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸
Thank you sis for these very valuable information, I have been researching and I am hoping to relocate there soon I kinds prefer Nassau for many reasons but I might change that preference after I have settled into the culture
Wonderful video, keep up the good work sis.
Hi Rogan, Excellent video. I look forward to more. I love Bahamas. I spent two decades running charters from Florida to Bahamas and never got tired of it or the people. Unfortunately, there is a lot of government corruption, mostly in Nassau, largely a result of the PLP and Pindling's legacy. OMG, he was a corrupt, greedy sob. I have found most Bahamians to be honest, upright, kind, generous people. Americans could learn a lot about courtesy and kindness from my friends in the family islands.
I have a typical story for you. Twelve years ago I was in Bimini as captain on a Hatteras motor yacht. Late one afternoon I took a bike ride up to Baileytown. I saw a guy cleaning lobster under a tree and struck up a conversation with him. Turns out he was the cousin of Ossie Brown, who I knew from years earlier at the Compleat Angler.
I asked him how much for lobster and he offered to sell me a dozen. I said I left my wallet on the boat and he said "No problem. Take the tails and come back later when you can." Now I did not know this guy and he did not know me or where I was staying but he gave me a dozen tails and I hopped on my bike and rode away. As I did so I was thinking about how friendly and trusting he was. I knew this was someone I wanted to do business with. I got back to the boat, got my wallet, and rode back to pay him immediately. I think he was a little surprised to see me return. This was the beginning of a great friendship that endures today and is very typical of my experience in Bahamas.
Hello Ed! Thank you so much for the kind sentiments. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Lots more great content on the way. The story you shared was so wonderful. I totally believe that man allowed you to leave and return with the money. He reminds me of so many Family Islanders. Bahamians are some of the most amazing people on the planet. We have our bad ways when we're ready. But, we are special people. No one on the planet like my people. I am so happy you found my channel. Consider subscribing!
Great story. Good people are everywhere. Thanks for Sharing that insight.
@@ThisBahamianGyal Pls can I get your contact pls
My husband has been offered a job in Nassau These videos will be a great help. I have no idea what we’ll end up doing, but all the comments about the kindness of the people are refreshing. We could all learn to be better humans.
@@swalker1348 the stories of family islands are not of Nassau. Just saying, it’s a different custom
Thank you so much for your video! Really gave me a lot to think about. Hope to see you there when I move to the Bahamas from Russia. :) Thank You !
Hi Ed. You're so welcome. Sadly, I no longer live in The Bahamas. I live in DC now. But, I do have my entire family there, so I visit often and am still very connected to the country. Ha ha.
Looking forward to Visit Bahamas , Thank for your tips
Hi Manzi. You are so welcome. I hope you go soon. And don't feel like you have to only go to Nassau. There are so many other wonderful islands to visit.
Seems about right .... spent my childhood on Grand Bahamas in the 70's. Life has never been as good since 💙 On the whole ... beautiful people 👌
Thanks for sharing this info!
You are so welcome!!
This should make anyone from America really appreciate our country.
Thank you so much for saying that!
Hey, thank you for your video, I learnt a lot of valuable information! Hoping to move there on a work permit from the UK in the next couple months! I am getting super excited!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching! Best of luck to you.
Thanks for the informstion; I am thinking about retiring there. Now I have to make some conscious decisions.
Hello Merville. You are very welcome. The Bahamas is a great place to retire to. Tons of islands. You don't have to live in Nassau. Trust me. Lots of terrific options.
Very comprehensive- thank you
Glad it was helpful!
I haven't been to the Bahamas in almost a year and this video made me so homesick.
Awwww...make sure take a trip as soon as you can. I know the feeling. Despite its faults,, The Bahamas is a special place. There's no place like home.

I am a Bahamian living in Canada 🇨🇦. Stumbled across this channel, saw the topic, and assumed it was going to be one of those...if you know what I mean. Was refreshingly surprised with your down to earth truth talk about living in the Bahamian. Yet you managed to still portray the natural beauty of the country and interesting culture of the people. Loved ❤️ it. You are totally killing it girl. This is one year late but I hope you are still inspired and dropping content.
Live rich and continue to be blessed beautiful Bahamian lady.
Thank you, my Bahamian bruddah! Haha. Yes, I am still making content and my channel is growing every day. Thank God. Be sure to check out my other videos and subscribe if the spirit moves you. Lolol. 🇧🇸
@@ThisBahamianGyal The spirit has moves...lol. I already have, will keep watching and reposting your content. Gat your covered sis...family business. Bahamian thing...lol, everyone is family.
Bam bam bam. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Ya know dat and thank u so much!!!
I laughed so hard at "the spirit has moves." You so fool. Lolol.
@@ThisBahamianGyal My God, that sounds so good...lol. Smilig ear to ear...show my Bahamian pearly whites.No one has talked to me that was in a long time. That is so Bahamas, "you so fool". I am really "fool", I am enjoying it. That is pure silly.
I went to the Exumas and I concur, the most amazing beaches I have ever seen! I worked on a boat and got to see some of the most pristine beaches ever, Compass Key for sure!
You’re on point girl!!
Ha ha. Thank you so much, Jeanette. I know how my people go. LOL.
Very accurate!!! Good job
Gracias!!!
Nice video...I so want to see the Bahamas. Saludos from Los Cabos!
You'll get there soon. I know you will! It's a beautiful place.

This was so helpful thanks :)
Hi Joseph! You are so welcome. Thank YOU for watching!
I really appreciate your videos. I wants to come to the Bahamas, and live there for sometimes..
Hello Mbariku. I appreciate you taking the time to watch my videos.
I know this is an old video however, I wanted to voice my opinion. I love the content, being a native this was completely accurate. It's a beautiful country but my frustration comes from a lazy mindset from hard working Bahamians. Here's what I mean by that. We don't grow our own food, we don't manufacture our own goods or teach others how to do so, we don't have incentives for graduates to stay and reinvest in our people. Island time should not be an excuse for common courtesy and on time customer service, especially when it comes to government entities. As far as hurricanes, it's been a few years since hurricane Dorian hit the Great Abaco, then instead of being proactive and learning from the devastation, the government remains reactive. I think every major island (7)should have a strong hurricane relief structure in case no one can evacuate. We often complain about the topics you talked about about however, nobody wants to change the mindset just because that's the way it has always been done. I don't think we have even scratched the surface of our full potential simply because of the lazy mindset. Simply paying for goods and services from other countries won't cut it, simply depending on tourism won't cut it. Buy a fish you eat for a few days. Teach a man how to fish you will eat for a lifetime. If the US suffers a national or economic collapse it would also be catastrophic for our economy. Therefore, we must become independent from imported goods. You have been informed.
great video thank you
It’s very Tempting :) been living in Spain for years and been interested in looking into another country :)
I love this, especially the horn language. And Chrissy said the same thing with Canada. Don't blow that horn!
Man. You did a good job. And honesty is the best policy.
Ha ha. Thank you!!! Wait...in Canada they don't blow the horn? Child....Bahamians is do what they wanna do. It's so much easier to blow the horn rather than wave! LOL. We are a unique people.

I have to tell the truth, child. You think I want CYC nation coming after me?!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@oceanwave4142 Hi there. I hear you, but it's a cultural thing. You wouldn't hear the horns in your home unless you have really really thin walls. But, I hear you. Thanks for watching.
Thank you soooo open so honest!!
Thank you for taking the time to watch! So happy you enjoyed it.
My only trip to the Bahamas was to Exuma in 2015. So beautiful and the people were wonderful.
Exuma is one of my fave islands!!!
Very informative and well presented. Welcome to Bahama(s)! On the top of it , you are very beautiful so can`t get enough with this video. My dreamed post covid vacation place is Bahamas of course, but will definitively not make it my home land after watching this. Mainly for the high potential risk of hurricane strikes and not so necessary high cost of living. Thank you.
Thank you so much for watching! Truly appreciate it. I certainly understand. Hurricanes can be quite unsettling for most people. Personally, I love them. Probably because I'm used to them.
I loved Nassau! I was at The Melia and was content to be on the resort. Cable Beach was beautiful.
Hi Janice! I am soooo happy you enjoyed my little island. I lived in the Cable Beach area when I lived in Nassau. It truly is beautiful. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch my video and comment. It means a lot!

As a Cuban American I was amazed how gorgeous eleuthera is ,came back from a two week vacation over there and at first I was like well I was born in a island too so it’s more of the same but reality hit me and I think I found the most beautiful beach in lighthouse point
Unfortunately, I have never been to Lighthouse Point. Disney now owns it. But, I have seen pictures and my friends have told me it's THE MOST beautiful beach they have ever seen in their lives.
@@ThisBahamianGyal it’s really gorgeous believe me! I remember when I was a kid in Cuba they used to say that we have the most beautiful beaches in the world but when I got to see the one at lighthouse point I realized that was the really big deal,that’s why Disney bought it! I’d recommend to go there before they start building and if you go try to go by boat because the roads are not good ,God will I’m definitely coming back there
@@fisherman1353 Hello Cuban Paisano! Varadero and santa lucia were pretty nice beaches. I am going to Exuma in August. Can’t wait!

Thank you for taking the time to watch my video 📹 🎥.
VERY INFORMATIVE Vid sis! But, no light life? lol im out! was looking to see what Bahamas was saying - not enough for me I guess - may take a visit still!
I have been to New Providence and several of the family islands on work assignments over the last three decades and you are on point with your observations. Found it strange you did not find a way to mention "over the Hill" especially with respect to the cuisine. I am currently working (virtually for now) on Climate Change adaptations and mitigations in the Bahamas ....so the hurricane issue is close to my heart as a fellow Caribbean National
Hello Steve!! Thank you for watching and commenting. We need more people who have an interest in climate change. Good for you!
@@ThisBahamianGyal You are most deservedly welcome. I should be back in the Bahamas by October .....when next you have the time...this is some of what I do ua-cam.com/video/3DB-ORggIf0/v-deo.html
The best places to eat in Nassau are the food shacks at Potter's Cay. Most visitors never get there. This is where the locals go to party on Friday night. Try the tropical conch salad. It is my favorite. Also, check out things up on the Hill, in the vicinity of the rum distillery and the art center. There is also a history museum in the area and some historic hotels and B and Bs.
I love the tropical salad, but the traditional remains my favourite. LOL. I actually don't like eating at Potter's Cay Dock. I find that place to be atrocious as far as cleanliness is concerned. I would never direct anyone there. I have heard family members say they love the food, but I am too much of a clean freak to eat there. But, to each his own. I do agree with the area near the rum distillery. You are on point! That area is so slept on. People just don't know how amazing that area is.
@@ThisBahamianGyal You are soooo right about the cleanliness...or more accurately the filth. It is a dirty place. But I have had some good food and fellowship there. I like to stroll along the seawall and talk to the crews on the mailboats. I sure wish the government would clean the place up though.
@@edwiser3547 Me, too! It's such an amazing spot. But, the vendors bear some responsibility, too. I also wish the government would get serious about enforcement.
Port Antonio Jamaica reminds of cat island if you look through the pictures in most geography books,or even traveling books you will keep in great spirits,all the palms and teal flowrrsñ
Jamaica is on my bucket list. I have friends who keep inviting me there. Will have to check it out. Thanks for watching!
Watching from Barbados and surprised to find that 90% of this stuff applies to us here as well, lol. Especially what was said about government agencies and time!
Hi Keilan! Thanks for watching. Listen....I don't know why our Caribbean countries can't get it together. Lol. But, someone from Greece said the same thing applies to Greece as well. Lol.
I am watching from ST, Elizabeth Jamaica and I can relate about the ontime issues the carribean people have , especially our leaders never on time , but I love the carribean very time I visit Canada 🇨🇦 and the USA I am home sick, just want to go back to Jamaica lol I love ur vibes, do ur thing sister
I've been going to the Bahamas for many, many years and have been to Nassau, Exuma and Cat Island and as far as swimming beaches, paddle boarding you can't beat Cat Island. Exuma beaches were pretty but the currant was a bit stronger and difficult getting in and out of where as Cat island was pure paradise......they seem to have more "coves" that make the water calmer.
Hi Linda....Cat Island does have spectacular beaches, too. You are right. First time I went there it took my breath away. I suppose it all comes down to preference. Cat Islanders are super friendly, too. At least they were to me. LOL. Thanks a million for watching!
I would like to connect to you Linda
some of the people there are just weird tho...
Hello. Thanks for watching. How so?
@@ThisBahamianGyal when I was walking through the beach I saw some men keep bothering couple women if they can go to their house and they kept saying no but they kept asking, also I saw them try to give alcohol to underage kids.
