Question: What month did you visit and shoot this video?
@@IsaacHmltn to be honest I don’t remember. Probably early summer
Great vid. It makes me want to go even more!
One of the last places you’d think about is the Costco clone CostULess. It was so much fun shopping for cheap alcohol there and the prices are awesome compared to the US.
Basically, bring your own snacks, liquor, and cover-up in public because it's expensive to purchase there due to imported items being expensive. Anticipate power outages and tourist traps.
Awesome stuff my friend. We send you some warmth from Aruba. Looking forward to part 3.
Enjoy! So happy you are getting to experience the autumn season. I love all the seasons,but autumn is especially beautiful.🍁🍂 I also love snow ❄️ , but don’t believe Portland gets snow.
Good for you!!!
Congratulations! Reinvention is a really big thing now. I know others who are deciding to make similar life changes. Glad it worked out for you.
It’s so beautiful!! Jesus saves ❤
Hello and good morning, you have a nice and informative channel! We are two friends from Germany and are looking for a nice and quiet place for our two-week vacation. Is there a place/place to stay overnight and a beach without stray dogs? We urgently need rest and a good night's sleep and don't need a nightlife. We would prefer a place to sleep without WiFi, as this is very harmful to health and robs us of even more sleep (this is terrible in Germany) and also damages nature. We love the Caribbean flair (we have only been to East Mexico once) and eat vegan. Unfortunately, we don't have a lot of money, as we have to pay the highest taxes in the world. And we had to save for five years for a cheap vacation. Very bad times have begun in Germany, 40-60 years ago our country was better off because many more people believed in God. The further people move away from God, the more judgments (also in the form of extreme weather and much more) God sends them. We should turn back to God, whose name is Jesus Christ, and repent of our sins. Only then can he be merciful to us again. If we turn to other gods or idols or even worship them (these can also be material and occult things or people or hobbies), we have lost. Eternal life is only in Jesus Christ; he is the way and the truth and the life (has nothing to do with religions or churches, just with the only truth). Now I have written a lot, but it is valuable to know. With this in mind, I wish you a nice and blessed day, dear Riselle. And we hope to get to know you one day.
Wow. I applaud you for doing this. It will be an amazing challenge/ accomplishment. I wish i had a job where i could get away for more than 2-4 weeks out of the year..... maybe i can tk a leave of absence. Anyway keep us updated on your journey. Excited for you
Safe Travels! Mentally prepared for the Winter.
Happy trails Riselle!
@@evertj thank you, my friend.
EXCELLENT WORK. THANKS FOR THE COLORFUL AND POSITIVE VIDEO. ARE THERE ANY WHITE SAN BEACES ON THE ISLAND? 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
@@user-hk4wv7iz8q thank you 😊 There is one but is not “swimmable”. Statia is not known for its beaches but is gorgeous anyway.
@@TheTravelingIslandGirl Thanks but why is it not swimmable? It looks just fine. The poor on the island. What kind of jobs do they need?
wow! didn't see this one coming. Enjoy, you are a true traveler
I'm getting more of a Pint of Guinness and Shillelagh vibe than an Ice Cold Red Stripe with a spliff vibe.
Watch out fo dem bumba claat needles on the ground , mon.
I love Anguilla what does it takes to have temporary resident permit
I just love this!! I can't wait to see more
All the best on your stay in Portland 🎉. Having a few months to try it out is a great plan to see how you like it first.
Sad for your Kitty but super excited for you my friend. I know how special area is to you and I congratulate you in taking this step. Can't wait for the next vlog(s).
Couple of suggestions from a southerner (one who is used to sun and warmth, like yourself) who lived in the PNW for a few years. Fall/winter there is rough, honey. Dreary, depressing, isolating, and kind of fucked up for one's mental health. But don't let this scare you. Most days this time of the year are dark and grey and wet. I suggest getting outside as much as possible, starting early in the day; even if it's grey, just 10-15 minutes outside will help with melatonin coming later in the day. When you are used to sunshine all the time like in the Caribbean, you may experience some insomnia in the PNW. I certainly did. ALSO: TAKE VITAMIN D supplements, eat lots of salmon! Because you'll be eating better and exercising more, you might find your body changing. Mine certainly did! Embrace creative projects, reading, etc. Portland is a beautiful, quirky place, ideal for creatives. It's a good place and time of year to slow down -- I mean REALLY slow down -- and write and read and work on yourself. I found PNW natives, although nice enough, to lack warmth -- most people who aren't southerners or Caribbean lack warmth!; you may find them standoffish, awkward, and unfriendly ... but there are tons of introverts in the PNW, people who aren't used to having to communicate or collaborate and interact like, for example, in New York City. So don't take any of this personally; PNWers are just kind of weird like that, although kind and helpful. You have mentioned in previous videos about your struggles with mental health. As someone who also struggles with this, you may want to consider psychedelics while you're there -- which are legal in Oregon -- yes, I remember you saying substance/drugs, etc. isn't good for you personally... but honestly psychedelics are therapeutic and are known for rewiring the brain's neural pathways. Mushrooms are really medicine. Check out the book, "How to Change Your Mind." I suggest going to Seattle from time to time; it's got salt water and beaches! (Puget Sound) ... and don't forget, you can always go to the sunny side of either state -- just over the mountains to the dessert part where the sun shines! You'll be fine, and you'll return to the islands appreciating it more. Good luck to you!
@@danieljones3490 hey Daniel, Thank you so much for the advice. I really appreciate it. I’ll be back before winter sets in. I planned it like that. As much as I miss the seasons some times, I remember how depressing winter gets. I’m up every morning and love my little walks outside. I marvel at the leaves falling from the trees. So beautiful and it inspires me. You’re right. My writing and creativity has gotten a boost from this. I needed this break from the Caribbean. Here’s something a lot of people don’t know: I’m an introvert but I hide it really well. I love to be by myself. And that seems to work well here. I did make some friends though. Thank you again for your tips and suggestions. Check out the next video to see how things are unfolding here 😉
Safe travels, Riselle!!! Before you know it, you'll be snuggling with your beautiful kitty boy! Enjoy the PacNW!
@@heelswin6362 Danki, mi bro 🙏🏾
Sad leaving the cat. Aaaawww
Heel veel succes. Ze gaan jou missen.
Congratulations! The Pacific NW is beautiful.
Well you are doing exactly what I want to do! I want to spend one Season in St. Martin!!!
Wonderful! When is the next one!!!
You will regret moving to Portland. People with any sense are leaving Portland, not moving to it.

Hi and congratulations on going forward on your goals to cover international travel and what it can offer you & us🎉 I think exploring locally or/and internationally are great ways to learn more about yourself in a new environment. Best wishes from a fellow St Martiner living abroad 🙏
Hey Sarisa, thank you for your comment. I immediately checked out your channel and love your vibe. You have a new subscriber. Looking forward to watching more of your content.
@TheTravelingIslandGirl Thank you so much for the support 🙌 and for sharing how wonderful our St Martin/St Maarten is with the world 🌎 I am looking forward to your new adventures on your channel!

Great video about St. Maarten!
Rendezvous is my favorite bc of the view of St. Martin & the Sunshine Shack
Traveling Island Girl, enjoying your content and getting excited about visiting St. Maarten. Thank you! Coming in for just 1 day in January on cruise ship. Would locals choose Orient Beach or Mullet Beach. And which restaurants/bars would a local recommend while there? Not looking for a party scene. Just relaxing and interacting with locals. Thank you!
We stayed in Oyster Bay at the base of Babit Point. Packs of wild dogs staying in the rocks kept me from going up there. They were probably harmless but wasn't sure how dogs act there.
It’s petroleum the island full of it In TANKs Nice walk by the landfill you did there
