Thank you for showing me St.Vincent beautiful my husband was from there all he did was talk about his home and all the things you and the cabbie are talking about he tell me about I'm from Detroit Michigan I never been but I would love to go soon he still have a large family there.Beautiful beautiful place. He was from Layou he move to Trinidad at 8 and left there at 15 and move to England and move after 30 move to Michigan in 1994 we were married 22 year until he passed way in 2014 🙏🙏 I miss him dearly.
My condolences! Visit us soon. In Layou, you will have much to see and do. You will have easier access to all the waterfalls, the Vermont nature trails, and The Petroglyphs than many other Vincentians. Some of the best artistes are from Layou. The people of Layou boast that they have the best tasting water on the island.
I met a Vincentian in Trinidad a few years ago and he told me that St. Vincent has the best houses in the Caribbean...I see what he means..it is very consistent
My mom visited there in 2013 and said the same thing about the housing. I didn't take her seriously because, as far as I know, St. Vincent is not a rich country. But Richard's video supports what she said about the housing. So I am wondering if this just happened to be well to do neighborhoods that one sees on the way into the capital from the airport or if this is typical housing. Richard will be getting around the island so I hope he can provide some insight.
Hello. I will make more videos for sure. There are 32 islands of St Vincent, and I was told some islands are for millionaires, and there is an island where the billionaires want to get away from the millionaires. I won't be going there though. I did seem some not so nice houses here, but there are some very nice houses also. I can't really rent a car here. They want an international drivers license, or I have to apply for a temporary license and it is kind of pricey for it.
I visited few times I can't share that view totally best houses in the Caribbean what u describe as a house anyone can say anything don't mean u believe what they had said.
My mom was born in St. Vincent & I love when I visit there! The old airport was so tiny and the runway was extremely short. I was wondering what the new airport was like & I see that they did a great job! Thank you for uploading this. I’m subscribing now!
Thanks for the video. I have never seen any pictures of St. Vincent before. The place looks nice. It looks well developed. We never hear much about the island.
Thank you. Are you here now? And suggestions on where to make my walking around videos? Today I will scout out some areas to video tomorrow. And I will plan a trip to Bequia.
Richard's World Traveller If you're in Kingstown you can walk around the botanical gardens and be able to see the national parrot.Theres also the owia salt pond on the NE end of the main island or if you like to hike the volcano is the place for you and in Bequia you can visit the turtle sactuary.
Thank You. I am in Bequia now. I will go back to the main Island in 2 days. I will go look at the Botanical Garden. I will video walking around Kingstown also.
@Paul Charles that's not true, it's only kingston and spanish town that's bad, i've been to Jamaica, most part's of the island is very nice, huh, port of spain, Trinidad is even worse, if you think Jamaica is bad (I'm Grenadian).
@@ZanSMC.473 The problem with Trinidad is that some of the Port of Spain areas are very old and very poor people live there. Unfortunately when the world comes it will see that area because it is in the city. Once you get into the suburbs you can see the difference There are many wealthy areas in Trinidad but if you don't have friends to visit in those areas, how would you know. Another thing with Trinidad, you have to drive off the main roads go see the place properly.. Immigration from all the islands also contribute to some of the poor housing. It surprises me that a lot of our parents or grand or great grandparents came from Guyana, Venuezuela or another island and many move out after a generation or two to the big countries. While the Indians and Syrians keep building their empires there.
@@riahnonya6534 firstly, have you been to Jamaica, or just hear things? Second, it's not about one-upmanship, just appreciate the compliment paid. Some Vinci's, soon as they hear jamaica, they're on the back foot; the majority of us are one people, don't let them divide and conquer.
Mel H I can not afford to retired in st. Vincent you have to pay for everything pay for your own operation in hospital it's my parents Island but I could only visit my cousin's ect.
That’s a good job richard 😀, I was happy to watch your videos from st vincent where I spent 5 years of my life working and living there at the beginning of 2000. Mosquitoes were a real problem ☹️. I had nice moments with the vincy people and the reggae music. Big up 😎
They were OK. They said they got lucky lately with the hurricanes. The water was rough the last couple days, so I am hoping the water will get clear. The water is supposed to be blue and clear here, but the hurricane roughed up the water. it should hopefully be calm and blue soon.
Constance Christescu St Vincent and the Grenadines is one of the few Caribbean island chain that is commercialised. The country is pretty laid back , if you are looking for a slow peaceful retirement this is the country for you. There are many expats living on the mainland and also the smaller island chains. Crime is there however I haven't seen or heard of expat being attacked. We recently built a new airport so more people will be visiting.
Constance Christescu My advice to you would be to visit for at least a month and live like a local not a tourist and you will get to see whether or not you can see yourself living there.
Aminata Diallo I am planning a trip this year. I am not going to go as a tourist. I looked into renting an apartment. I am looking for laid back. Thank you so much. I have been researching SVG for about three months now. It looks amazing. I am not finding a lot about it. But I am finding I have fallen in love.
Nice thing about Vincention's they mostly stay in they country and that I like... beautiful country like Barbados, Carribbean in a whole is beautiful with out doubt.
my grandma father is from ethopia and her mom is from st vincent and the grenadines and my grandpa is from trindad and his mo is from trindad and his dad is fro paname
All the islands have beautiful beaches and something special to offer. Antigua has 365 beaches and they are all beautiful. I know because I lived there. Am in love with spices from Grenada. I wish I could get some right now.
The one bullshit the British bequated to it's colonies is driving on the left side of the road. I'm surprised that English Caribbean have left it intact even though they live in the part of the world where everybody drives on the right. Nigeria seems to be the only British colony that transitioned from driving from on the left, to driving on the right. That feat was accomplished in the seventies.
oof kek I don't know about other Caribbean countries but in Jamaica a used Japanese car holds it's value for years, in some instances people even sell it at a higher price than what they paid for it! American and German cars loses value rapidly.
You need to revisit the video. Your accusation is wrong. I did not hear the driver say we are a republic. He said we have been independent since 1979 and still a member of the British Commonwealth. Yes! Being a member of the British Commonwealth, we recognise Queen Elizabeth II as The Head Of The Commonwealth/HEAD OF STATE. She is represented by a GOVERNOR GENERAL. The governor general has MORE power than the PRIME MINISTER because she/he represents QUEEN ELIZABETH 11 hence, one may have noticed we still portray the head/face of Queen Elizabeth II on the E.C currency along with other Caribbean Commonwealth islands.
People from Saint Vincent don't realise that there's not much for tourist to do on the Island. There needs to be a total upgrade of the attractions to get tourist really excited about this place. When asked at 1:38 what are the top things to do here? Check the answers: 1. Climb a volcano. 2. Visit Botanic Gardens 3. See a disused movie set. 4. Visit the waterfalls. 5. Visit The agricultural region. Wow!! Riveting!! To compete for tourist dollars, there needs to be more value added attractions. People remember how they felt, more than anything and tourist will tell their friends the good, the bad and the disappointing. It's time for the tourism department to get real and start traveling to other popular places to get inspired.
You must have been there before. Because yes there are a lot of mosquitoes there. Some of the other Caribbean Islands don't have as many mosquitoes as St Vincent.
That driver must be saying, this man is the dumbest most uninformed traveler I've every driven. Do ur homework before u go some place new. Congrats on ur new airport. I hope u guys get the traffic so it can pay for itself.
I asked for making the video and to learn. I make RUclips videos. Did you to notice? Should I not ask the driver questions for the video? Should I pretend like I am the expert and do all the talking? You should think about this and not leave jerk comments.
Maybe you didn't think about I was just traveling several hours and I make videos like this on the spur of the moment. If I get a driver that I like and he will talk I might make a video like this. I don't plan out a video of driving from the airport. I don't plan out my video of talking to my taxi or Uber drivers. If I am in a car and the person can speak English and is friendly I will ask them if I can make a video. You might not realize how many people are involved in making some of the RUclips videos you see. The better growing channels seem to be a pair of people. I can't easily do things such as video myself eating some food.
Richard, on the positive side. Make my comments be a listen learned. Pretend the viewer is reading a book. Keep us engaged in a conversation. Not single ended questions. U r not just asking questions for urself. Make me feel part of ur trip. Leave room for him to ask u about urself and where u r from. And exchange. Ur viewer's don't know and don't care if u r tired. At least make fun of ur exhaustion. I felt offended when u ask him if it was safe (homework). P.S. the internet is a tuff place. Roll with the punches 😉
John just beautiful,try the country side some time,I would love if u can do video when the kids r coming out of school, just beautiful,u can do different schools on different days,I just love my country n my people.
The taxi driver lack proper explanation. Bout cod fish man say breadfruit and salt fish and then explain if the person don't understand. Lack some knowledge in some places
I agree! Just remember, most of us do Not speak proper English even though, we are thought proper English in school. we speak broken English which, bites us in the ass at times. I think he did OK.
Your entire interaction with the driver was awkward. All of it. I get that you probably don't realize this, but you have zero social skills or street smarts. You're culturally insensitive, to the point of being a danger to yourself (not reflected in this video, but most of your others). It's a matter of time until something bad happens to you.

In this video, you only saw a few villages in St. Vincent.
My beautiful st.vincent thank you more please
Yeah where my first thought when visited
Amazing how wonderful the roads are shame on trinidad just imagine we have the pitch lake and our roads are terrible
Nice video but why havent u gone to Grenada ?? It has one of the best beaches in the Carribbean

Longinus Ukenta What difference would it make?
And then depend on America for poor quality cars? No thank you, we'll stick to the left and continue driving Japanese cars...
876beauty hey,not all of our cars are crap >:c the old ones aren't bad,but the new ones....
Longinus Ukenta What difference does it make left or right. Mist vehicles in this part of the world are from Japan anyway.

Did he say the fish soup was made with dolphins?
No, Can't be! He said DUMPLINGS. The best dumpling, in my opinion, is the one that contains grated coconut.
The ride made me dizzy
The driver is incorrect, they are independent but not yet a republic which means the Queen of England is still head of state
R De Roche yes he did miss out on a few information, and the part about british culture. Most part the island is of african culture.
Pretty much independent as the queen is only the ceremonial head of state. Just like in Canada and Australia the queen has no power on decisions.
You need to revisit the video. Your accusation is wrong. I did not hear the driver say we are a republic. He said we have been independent since 1979 and still a member of the British Commonwealth.

No island is perfect i guess you gonna say yours is better.....jealous
That's what you call a beautiful drive abut a 20 to 25 mins drive depending on the traffic to the city from the airport.
I can feel the mosquitoes just watching this
You must have been there before. Because yes there are a lot of mosquitoes there. Some of the other Caribbean Islands don't have as many mosquitoes as St Vincent.
