Awesome video Lucy, would love to see you do more of these travel type blogs. You have a real talent & could really expand your video genres, it was refreshing to see some totally different content. Have a wonderful holiday. Much love from Switzerland :)
Gonna join the choir here and say that this video is a serious step-up. You keep this up, Lucy, and you'll soon be one of the great names of youtube/television style creators world wide. Please keep it up!
I think in the most part people care, they just don’t have the resources or funding to remove and clear a lot of that stuff. We live in the British Virgin Islands and sat through cat 5 hurricane Irma 200+ mph wind, 4 years later there’s still abandoned stuff everywhere. In the Caribbean there is a large disparity of wealth it is what is sadly 🌴
I have stayed on Andros, Eleuthera and Exuma, the latter at a great little Augusta Bay resort a stone's throw from the sadly abandoned "cartel" place. In many cases, cash flow is the main issue, and construction materials are a challenge due to everything having to be imported. Also, many property owners, when they run out of cash, simply down tools until they can afford the next phase. But the Out Islands folk generally the friendliest this Canadian has encountered there as well as in Barbados and Antigua.
This is the best delivery you've ever given. You sound very natural in this video, none of that strange uplift at the end of sentences or words. Perfect
Lucy, i mean it seriously, you are on the clear way of becoming a UA-cam sensation, keep throwing us this amazing videos! You are gonna be a start soon!
What a fantastic video!!!! The cinematography of this channel is superb as always!!! Also the framing of you talking in front of the pool was super cool. Thank you for the awesome video!
Over the years I have become a fan of checking out abandoned places. Zzyzzyx road in SoCal, Desert Center in AZ, etc. This video makes me want to go to the Bahamas. Thank you Lucy!!
I do wonder if the reason why so much stuff is abandoned is the price of removing it off the Islands.. Glad you have had a chance for a bit of a holiday and sharing some wonderful scenery with us. So nice to see the ratio of views to likes too. Cheers.
Nice video Lucy. This is typical for a lot of places. The tourist areas are always well kept and clean. Other examples that I have personally seen are Puerto Rico and Dom Rep. Once your away from the main tourist stream area you see the reality of how a lot of the local people live.
Looks like an amazing place. I'd love to go explore those abandoned places. Reminds me of being in Fuertaventura 35 years ago and I saw this massive abandoned hotel complex with swimming pools and everything. It was huge.
First time comment from Canada, avid watcher and your adhoc Bermuda vid is Spectacular! 4K video is super detailed and captivating. We'll done Lucy, love the off road bit too hehe Donovan
Nice one Lucy! We see similar things here in China, especially where buildings are concerned. The reasons are varied but could include the death of the original owner, imprisonment as you mentioned, cash flow problems etc. It is sad to see but somehow I get perverse pleasure out of seeing nature reclaim everything.
I lived in Cyprus for a while back in 2004 and it was a similar story there. Hotels, apartment buildings and holiday complexes that were half finished and abandoned because money ran out or interest was lacking in the specific location. Slightly off the beaten track from the "touristy" areas, so most will have never seen it!
I like your videos, it's amazing how they improve when James May isn't in them! I was in the Bahamas when I was a kid and stayed at spectacular hotel, just recently found out, it's abandoned and most of what was great around it is gone now too. Sad.
Thanks for sharing, when I was a kid I was lucky enough to go to the Bahamas and I think the coolest stuff was the old pirate history and abandon stuff like you were saying, I would have gone like 15 years ago tho7h so it look a bit different
One of my favourite places in the world! My family all have vacation homes there and it is actually a great place to explore as you are finding out. Enjoy your vacation Lucy.
Beautiful place, beautiful photography . A travel series next ? Maybe tie it in with The Grand Tour. “Lochdown from above” , Deserted Scotland…. The Grand Tour needs a photographer like you . They’ve always been been good a photographing cars but no imagination apart from that
Great video Lucy. I’m wondering if some of the resort projects stopped because they realized with rising sea levels due to climate change, they would be under water in 25 to 50 years. Love your videos.
you should wear your hair pulled back over your ears more often, it shows the shape of your face and makes your hair look more interesting. I hope you don’t regard this as sexist; you are after all a videographer (a good one) and a PRESENTER of your own work, you need to look your best. Keep up the good work !
seeing people jetsetting about, travelling and enjoying life, meanwhile here in Sydney Australia i'm not even legally allowed to leave my own suburb... :(
Excellent video, Lucy, reminds me of when I was growing up and watching Whickers World in the 1970's, Here's a thought, create a playlist, call it Lucy's World and put your travel vlogs in there. Be well and enjoy the break :) x
Nice work Luce, unexpected subject, presented with feeling. You might consider doing your pieces to camera sitting in future, it relaxed you and looked great.
it is the same in every country you go to
its always the nice places they show you never the shit if they did they would never get another visitor
I wonder if the turtle is like "Hey fishy, I've told you once, I'm not going to tell you again, bugger off and stop following me!"
This is the most relaxed I have ever seen you. You truly look like a different person. Enjoyed the video.
More Lucy Brown, please.
Lucy “nothing ever came”
Hurricanes “hold my beer…”
Top notch cinematography, crisp edits, and very heartfelt commentary. Keep up the stellar work Lucy!
This is by far your best video.Lucy.Everything about it is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Hell yes more awesomeness from this legend! Cheers!

Please keep it up!
Great video, Loved the Turtles and the views of the abandoned buildings. One of the best videos.
Hurricane Dorian hit the Bahamas really bad and it was only 2 years ago, which would explain why there is a lot of abandoned stuff.

Lots of abandoned homes/buildings on Grand Bahama outside of Freeport. Whenever I saw them, I referred to them as "broken dreams".
This is the best delivery you've ever given. You sound very natural in this video, none of that strange uplift at the end of sentences or words. Perfect
Lucy, i mean it seriously, you are on the clear way of becoming a UA-cam sensation, keep throwing us this amazing videos! You are gonna be a start soon!
Cannot beat the behind the scenes content you provide. Even as far as the Bahamas. I appreciate what you do.
Wow!! Just WOW!!!! Thanks Lucy!!!!
Thank You for showing the side that most of us do not even think of. Great work Lucy. Cheers from the Canadian Rockies l*l
100 percent Bahamian Approved!!!
More debris just to get the idea of what you were talking about. Yet the video and the views just amazing
This is how a vacation review should be. The good and somewhat bad sides, great job.
What a fantastic video!!!! The cinematography of this channel is superb as always!!! Also the framing of you talking in front of the pool was super cool. Thank you for the awesome video!
I’m happy i found this channel ! Great stuff Lucy 👍👍
Very very lucky! I do hope you enjoy the holiday!
Especially given that I wouldn’t risk going abroad until 2022…
Enjoy the every moment of beautiful weather clean and fresh air of Bahamas 🇧🇸
Over the years I have become a fan of checking out abandoned places. Zzyzzyx road in SoCal, Desert Center in AZ, etc. This video makes me want to go to the Bahamas. Thank you Lucy!!
Thank you. This was a remarkable video. Excellent work. Both halves have been expertedly done. Great work
Lovely content from our lovely Lucy. I wish you all the best as think you are brilliant.
Very rare to see an honest travel video. This was superb. Just goes to show its not always paradise in paradise.
Amazing quality and very clear footage
Awesome stuff Lucy. You are destined to become a great filmmaker. You must do more travel vlogs!!
Wow - thanks for this. Just think of all the stories waiting to be told....
I do wonder if the reason why so much stuff is abandoned is the price of removing it off the Islands.. Glad you have had a chance for a bit of a holiday and sharing some wonderful scenery with us. So nice to see the ratio of views to likes too. Cheers.
This is glorious and I’m so glad someone else noticed the lack of infrastructure
Nice video Lucy. This is typical for a lot of places. The tourist areas are always well kept and clean. Other examples that I have personally seen are Puerto Rico and Dom Rep. Once your away from the main tourist stream area you see the reality of how a lot of the local people live.
come and visit Detroit on your next vacation, the water is lovely here, too.
What a fascinating video....I thank you
Started with a sandwich now were here learning about the Bahamas, good stuff keep it up
Well done, Lucy. Excellent! Thank you.
I am absolutely fascinated by abandoned stuff. It's absolutely incredible to me.
Thanks for interrupting you holiday to post this awesome video....cheers and stay safe 💜
Appreciate the insights, Lucy!
Lovely video! Thank you for sharing. 😁
Queen Lucy nails it again!!! Perfect vid girl, keep on keeping on... and as always, Cheers from Canada!!!
Looks like an amazing place. I'd love to go explore those abandoned places. Reminds me of being in Fuertaventura 35 years ago and I saw this massive abandoned hotel complex with swimming pools and everything. It was huge.
I love the subject. Thanks for sharing. If you have more footage of the abandoned things in the Bahamas, please do share, this is really interesting
That was not a good film. That was absolutely fantastic. Thank you Lucy.
Awesome video!! Thanks so much for sharing!
First time comment from Canada, avid watcher and your adhoc Bermuda vid is Spectacular! 4K video is super detailed and captivating. We'll done Lucy, love the off road bit too hehe Donovan
Lucy, I got 'one-year-worth-of-supply' of beautiful desktop backgrounds from the last 200 seconds of this video! Great job.
Great insight. Thank you
Every time a new video appears on this channel I know I'm gonna enjoy it. Good shots, nice editing.
Nice one Lucy! We see similar things here in China, especially where buildings are concerned. The reasons are varied but could include the death of the original owner, imprisonment as you mentioned, cash flow problems etc. It is sad to see but somehow I get perverse pleasure out of seeing nature reclaim everything.

Thank you for sharing with us!

Perfect! We were there in June and thought exactly the same
Great pictures - both the good and bad part.
You are getting better with every upload!
I like your videos, it's amazing how they improve when James May isn't in them! I was in the Bahamas when I was a kid and stayed at spectacular hotel, just recently found out, it's abandoned and most of what was great around it is gone now too. Sad.
I kind of want to see more of this abandoned stuff. Seems cool.
Tropical weather plays a big part in it all
Really cool tune at the end of the video - Can you say who it is?
Thanks for sharing, when I was a kid I was lucky enough to go to the Bahamas and I think the coolest stuff was the old pirate history and abandon stuff like you were saying, I would have gone like 15 years ago tho7h so it look a bit different
Epic views enjoy your holiday.
That song at the end sounded so much like "Blinded by your Grace" by Stormzy
One of my favourite places in the world! My family all have vacation homes there and it is actually a great place to explore as you are finding out. Enjoy your vacation Lucy.
Beautiful place, beautiful photography . A travel series next ? Maybe tie it in with The Grand Tour. “Lochdown from above” , Deserted Scotland….
The Grand Tour needs a photographer like you . They’ve always been been good a photographing cars but no imagination apart from that
Could you do a more detailed video of the abandoned stuff? I thought that was very interesting, another great vid
Hey Lucy! Welcome to our home! Thanks for highlighting some of the realities that we face as locals here. If you're still here lets link up!
Good for you. Enjoy your holiday!
You should do more travel videos. Thats a great video.
Beautiful views!
"I wasn't going to film a video while I was here" *records amazing footage*
This is soooo beautiful, best video!
Lucy, did you think when you started with DriveTribe that you'd ever be going to the Bahamas to film a video like this?
Hurricane Irma and Maria a couple of years ago hit the area hard.
Dang! I really enjoyed this upload
Stunning video, Lucy. Nicely done.
Excellent. More like this please.
Great video Lucy. I’m wondering if some of the resort projects stopped because they realized with rising sea levels due to climate change, they would be under water in 25 to 50 years. Love your videos.
The way you have your hair on this vlog looks great, have a nice holiday, Lucy. 👍
Just u and your hand tonight
you should wear your hair pulled back over your ears more often, it shows the shape of your face and makes your hair look more interesting. I hope you don’t regard this as sexist; you are after all a videographer (a good one) and a PRESENTER of your own work, you need to look your best. Keep up the good work !
That was very well edited and shot. Have a great holiday !
Excellent thank you. 👍
Loved the video Lucy, solid take!
You are one of the great videographers of this age if I do say!
Nice to see a side to Lucy that we don't normally see. If that was all shot by you.. impressive
Great stuff Lucy. 👍👍👍 Cheers
seeing people jetsetting about, travelling and enjoying life, meanwhile here in Sydney Australia i'm not even legally allowed to leave my own suburb... :(
Eddie Irvine was recently in the Exumas, fun fact
The legendary Fyre Festival LOL
Holiday suits you. You’re coming across almost as cool as James.
Great choice on playing M83 - Outro.
Excellent video, Lucy, reminds me of when I was growing up and watching Whickers World in the 1970's, Here's a thought, create a playlist, call it Lucy's World and put your travel vlogs in there. Be well and enjoy the break :) x
What an absolute treat.
Lucy, I'm such a big fan fromTexas!
Stunning Video Lucy
Well, I'm glad that you interrupted your vacations a little, the video is pretty good.
Nice work Luce, unexpected subject, presented with feeling.
You might consider doing your pieces to camera sitting in future, it relaxed you and looked great.
Off to live on the Bahamas then 🤣🤣🤣
