Should I Move to Grenada?

In this video I explore my personal pros and cons to moving to Grenada? If you are considering moving to this country for school, retirement or even an extended vacation here are some considerations you would want to know before hand. I share the best aspects of living here and the challenges that comes with it as well. This is coming from the perspective of an expat and not someone local to the Caribbean. If you have any questions about my experience please comment below.

    Very good video. Just one point on the food, yes we import a lot of food but we also farm a lot and have a variety of fruits, ground provisions (carbs) and vegetables in abundance. We don’t import those unless it’s something not grown here that foreigners like such as apples . Visit the local farmers market on Fridays and Saturdays.

    True. I think it’s more expensive if you live in the city. If you live on the countryside of the island most people just grow their own food and it’s not uncommon for people to have community cookouts or share produce with people living around them.

    Hello TabTravels! We love your videos. If a white Christian family from the USA wants to move down there, is it possible to find jobs, build businesses, buy land, build farms? Are there any problems with Racism?

    Hello and thank you for the positive feedback! Church and religious organizations are at the heart of Grenadian culture I think this island could be a good fit for your family! I am not sure about buying land but I do know that it is possible as there are residents of Grenada that own holiday homes and return here seasonally. I suspect starting a business would be possible as well if you can go through the official channels to establish it with the government. I met restaurant owners that were from the states/UK and were able to operate within the island. As far as jobs, I suspect that would be more challenging because it is difficult for local Grenadians to find official employment, the hourly wage in Grenada is also a lot lower than what you would expect coming from the US. I would recommend finding a remote US job for income while in Grenada- some family members of SGU students were able to do this to support their students on island.
