Thank you for your videos. Planning a USVI honeymoon next year and your videos have helped tremendously with planning

I loved the Bordeaux road and especially Bordeaux bay. We drove there just on a whim. So glad you got off the beaten path.

Trek Local is the best! I love how they were able to provide you with such a genuine, local experience.

Thank you so much Adam! I loved that part too, meeting the locals and visiting the communities are always my favorite experiences. I'm so happy you enjoyed the video!

Another amazing video loved watching it. Meeting locals and showing us how people live and work is the essence of travel. I did not think about putting a vegan and a rasta in the same sentence but learned something new today- Moody

The locals don’t really like you guys 😭 I’m in st.Thomas visiting family for the summer and they will talk to you like everything is good but talk about you like a dog after

Great vid, ive been watching all the St. Thomas vids cuz im going in sept. for 4 nights 5 days. My 2 things i plan on doing while there are SNUBA and a half day fishing charter. As i understand it at that time of year yellow fin and black tuna are the thing to catch. Im sure it will be enjoyable no matter what. Lots of good info in your video, thank you.

@@CamillaJohannesen a man made ours, and they were in larger cups, but yes, we watched and they used different rums and what we think what was a fresh banana smoothie type of mix, and then on the top they poured Cruzan Rum. It was sooooo good! I only had one because I was driving the Jeep, but my people had like three and they were knee-walking by the time we left. It was hilarious.

Even if you don’t film it, stop at SOS Antiques and Turkish Bazaar in Charlotte Amalie. Both those shops were very interesting. Also another channel I’ve watched a lot and also met while visiting St Thomas is kzread.info. He does a lot of hikes and organizes some tours. It would be cool to see you two collaborate on a vlog. It’s so awesome to see the places in St Thomas in videos that I’ve now seen in person. They’re real. I’m hooked and want to go back.

And yes, Blyden is amazing, it's actually my friend's cousin, so we were supposed to meet on this trip, but it didn't happen! I'm sure we can do a collab next time I'm there, he's really good! And yes, it's always fun to watch travel vlogs from places you've been, it feels like you have visited a movie set haha.

would you recommend renting a car in saint thomas?

What is affordability to eat daily?
