    Hi do you mind sharing information about safety in Cape Verde especially for women. Might it be possible to do some apartment / housing tours (luxury/high end and mid point) so that people can see what they have to offer and maybe a grocery store tour or shopping in Cape Verde at the market for everyday items? Thanks!

I think Cape Verde looks like a great place, beautiful scenery and with what you are sharing...the cost of living is fairly affordable.
    I hear you work remotely?
    I am also looking for opportunities to be able to work from home , remotely. If you know of any job opportunities to work remotely and earn in dollars...I would greatly appreciate your guidance in the right direction.

      @@Uvys_Vlog in the island of Sal, there are 10 times more tourists than natives. In Fogo most natives already left. In Brava most people are foreigners. In Boavista and Maio and Santo Antão the same thing. And, from São Nicolau I've heard things to worry about.
      Cape Verde is being sold to foreigners piece by piece or parcel by parcel and the way things are going, capeverdeans wil end up being a minority in their own country.
      I have a theory but I won't share it here. Not now anyway. All I can say is that to exclusively depend on tourists for a living is not necessarily the best solution.
      And, those NATO ships constantly in capeverdean waters polluting the environment should be of great concern to not just the capeverdean patriots but to the whole Africa and perhaps the whole world.
      I'm not crazy about tourists
      but I definitely don't want to see foreign militaries lurking around Cabo-Verde.
      The capeverdean diaspora must be given incentives to return and the natives who haven't left must be given incentives to remain or stay.
