    Our weekend was spent hiking, eating and swimming in the beautiful St. Croix beaches. We take you along with us to simple island living and our minimalist lifestyle. 1 month ago, we arrived to our new home with 3 bags, having sold the rest of our worldly possessions and lead a very modest daily life. We like to focus on family, good food and adventures! This past weekend, we celebrated J's 32nd birthday with a hike to Annaly Bay with our new friend to swim in the natural Carambola Tide pools. We also planted our garden. I'm most excited about the moringa {the islands local green superfood}. Full blog post: bit.ly/1rUdJdV
    Keep sending in your questions for the Q&A at the end of each of our vlogs. Today, we answer questions like what inspired our move to St. Croix? What do we eat daily?

    I would be just like you planting all kinds of stuff with that beautiful weather that you have. And please, keep giving us updates on how your garden is doing. I would love to see follow up videos on that. And all those mangoes on the ground just made me gasp. How sad to see all of them rotting on the ground when they're usually $1-$1.50 here in Colorado. =(

    We have been looking at moving to St. Croix for about a year now. We have friends that recently moved there. In Dec. we are taking another Caribbean cruise and will be stopping on the island. We will be meeting with a real estate agent when we arrive. We are getting pretty serious about the move. I love the seclusion idea. And would love to live up on a mountain. Thank you for the great videos.

      Hi, Lyn. That's awesome! Good luck on the potential move. Our little rock is great. Things are slow and steady but there's a beauty to that as well. I hope you can check out my e-book on our move and our other St. Croix videos! The link is in the description box below this video =)

    Very cool Angela! It's been fun seeing your travel/move! I could imagine how it can take away a lot of every day anxiety. I used to live in Hawaii and feel it was similar with most people I grew up with not caring much about fancy things. Thanks for sharing! Totally looked up the sphinx moth and it's interesting that they feed like hummingbirds!!! Nature is awesome. Take care and looking forward to the next video.

    • @TheSquishyMonster

      +Julie Ragle Thank you, Julie! I love that I can share my journey through life with you guys! I had no idea they fed like hummingbirds, thanks for sharing. When I shot the footage of them feeding on the trees, they were all gone the next day--like magic, haha!

      Hi, Danisa! The wahoo curry is pretty much a take on my Korean curry recipe and for the broccoli, I roast it at 450 for about 15 minutes with oil + s/p =)

    Can't wait to get some money and relocate to a remote greenish spot.

    • @TheSquishyMonster
      @TheSquishyMonster  6 лет назад

      We've actually spent less here than we ever have before. We've also had a ton of friends leave island because it was too expensive for them but it really does come down to how you live your life and what your priorities are. I wrote an ebook about how we make it work if you're interested {linked in the description box below}

    What is the mail service like, I see you got a package from the Mainland. Does Amazon deliver?

    • @TheSquishyMonster
      @TheSquishyMonster  8 лет назад +2

      Hi, Kay! Amazon tends to have high shipping charges. USPS operates here so it does help to streamline things. I wrote about this and more in my new e-book: "Moving To Paradise" bit.ly/2a7BRm1 it describes in great detail things like how we prepared, what we did upon arrival, obtaining a business license, the cost of housing/food/transportation, jobs, my favorite restaurants and beaches and more. I hope you'll check it out =)

    Hello, I might accept a Job on Saint Croix. If I move there, I would like to have a safe, quiet home and start my own Organic garden. Any suggestions? Thank you. I subscribed to your channel and will keep watching. :)

    • @TheSquishyMonster
      @TheSquishyMonster  6 лет назад +1

      Hello, Lois! All of this is doable here. Research, research, research. It is also helpful to be very realistic. I have an e-book on "How to Move to Paradise" linked in the description box or on my website thesquishymonster.com/ebook for in depth info all about how to make the move, what to do when you get here, the logistics + fun stuff + general information about the island and how to thrive here.

    how long do you roast broccoli?

    • @TheSquishyMonster
      @TheSquishyMonster  8 лет назад

      +two fast I personally like to roast mine high and fast around 450 for 15 minutes or so depending on how much you're roasting =)

    The wind is keeping us from hearing you. Can you guys not buy those things where you are? Is that why your mom sent it?

    • @TheSquishyMonster
      @TheSquishyMonster  8 лет назад

      +selenia carrico Hi, Selenia! Is the wind obscuring sound throughout the entire video for you? Or is it just pockets? The island has everything. I think it was my mama being sweet and sending us a care package. Certain things are more expensive but there are certainly ways around it {more in my upcoming e-book}
