Come with me to St. Lucia 🇱🇨 where I explore the beautiful island and all its wonders. In this video, I take you on a journey of a lifetime as I discover the amazing excursions that Saint Lucia has to offer.
We visit the Pitons outlook point, one of the most iconic landmarks in Saint Lucia. Head to the Sulphur Springs, the only drive-in volcano in the world. We dip in the warm and therapeutic waters of the Sulphur Springs mud baths and learn about the volcanic history of Saint Lucia.
We explore the luxurious WindJammer Resort, where we get to experience the beauty and elegance of the island's hospitality. The resort boasts a serene and secluded setting, perfect for relaxation and indulgence.
Finally, we take a break from our adventures and try our hands at day trading and I show you how I navigate the market while taking in the island's beauty.
At the end of the video I talk about mistakes I made as a solo travel and things that left a not so pleasant taste. Please remember that what happened to me is my experience alone and I do not believe that anyone should not experience St.Lucia because of those things. Just take them with a grain of salt.
That being said, join me on this solo travel vlog to Saint Lucia, and let's explore the wonders of this Caribbean paradise together.

Hello, I hope you're doing well. I recently came across your blog post about your trip to SAINT LUCIA and I wanted to take a moment to address some of the concerns that were raised in the post.
While I understand that you may have had a negative experience during your trip, it's important to remember that the livelihoods and cultures of the local community are deeply intertwined with the island's environment and history. It's important to approach travel with a sense of cultural sensitivity and respect and to take the time to educate oneself about the community and its customs before visiting.
Some of the statements made in your post may be inaccurate or misrepresentative of the situation on the island, and I would encourage you to consider the impact of your words on the local community. It's important to approach the situation with an open mind and a willingness to engage in constructive dialogue, while also being respectful and mindful of cultural differences.
Moving forward, I wish you the best of luck in your blogs.
Hi A Mitchel,
Thank you so much for watching the video and addressing your concerns. I think your comment is important and It should not be taken lightly. Please know that I did put the disclaimer "Please remember that what happened to me is my experience alone and I do not believe that anyone should not experience St.Lucia because of those things. Just take them with a grain of salt." in the description and also, I was vlogging from the experience that I had. If my experience were different, the vlog would have been different. I do agree that it is important for anyone traveling to a new place to do a thorough due diligence of the place they are going, which I did not. I hope that you or anyone else does not find offense in my experience. I will work towards communicating things in a constructive way while being respectful of cultural differences. Thank you again for watching.
Hi
If we’re being honest, theirs extreme poverty everywhere. I live in Las Vegas and when you visit Vegas, you’re not gonna see the underground flood tunnels were the homeless stay with tents setup all over. So I don’t think what you saw in St Lucia is any different than what’s here in the US
Hi, thanks so much for your comment!
Everywhere has poverty America has worst poverty at least the people in Saint Lucia can eat a few meals a day.
Hi Glenda, thanks for watching and sharing a comment.
There’s poverty in every country even in the USA… you are visiting an island in the Caribbean that has section with people who are poor .. don’t be so judgmental just because you were driving by.
Hi Kandy! Thanks for watching the video and thanks for your comment
I'm from st Lucia,just saying that a silp of the tongue will happen now and then but is how you react to it and IMO u did the right thing by not being present,it's tough being a solo female traveller when it comes to situations like that
Thank you so much for your kind words, it is tough being a solo female traveler sometimes
So I'm going to be in St. Lucia for my birthday and I will be solo for part of the trip. Would you have any other tips for staying safe on the island? I want to experience everything but also be mindful.
Hi Mikala!
First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I hope you have an incredible time in Saint Lucia. As far as staying safe on the island, from my experience, St. Lucian men have no problem pursuing you but they will be respectful. Just use discernment. Also, I personally wouldn't mention the fact that you are solo travelling. Mention that your father/brother/husband/ friends etc are with you or just avoid the topic all together. That being said the locals are very sweet, kind and helpful. You should be fine as long as you take the basic precautionary measures of traveling solo.
Thanks, Chelsea!
That was truly beautiful.
Awesome vlog!! Thank you so much, loved every minute! Can’t wait to go
You go gal, continue living your life to the fullest💯😇. Really enjoying your Travel vlogs😊
Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you're enjoying the vlogs ☺️
Thank you for this, very useful and much appreciated.
You're so welcome, thank you for watching ❤❤❤
I thoroughly enjoyed this vlog, I love your honesty and genuine love for nature❤. Im from a caribbean country near by, the caribbean is still developing but really beautiful for getaways. You captured so much❤ Happy you were safe
@tashanitoussaint3443 Hi Tashani, thanks so much for watching 🫶🏾❤️ I genuinely loved my time in Saint Lucia and I'm truly honored that you enjoyed my vlog! I can't wait to visit other parts of the Caribbean ☀️
@@chelseaulendo definately looking forward to more content. Yes 😌 💐
When you were walking, and the guys were in the truck looking back at you, that made me uncomfortable. Great blog. The island looks beautiful.
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Thank you for the upload. It was very useful and you have a lovely personality. I subbed your channel :-) I have been to St Lucia 6 times, but always with family. Now my family are gone and I am returning alone after 10 long years of being away from the island. I feel nervous about it. Having travelled solo before, I have received stares and comments from people when they realise that you are solo. Some people are nice and engage with you, while others stare and just stay away. I have done all the sightseeing trips so will just probably lap up the sun, beach, fitness facilities and lovely food. I will be sure to keep my lone status low key but it is hard to do when people see you alone all the time, esp in the evening when it becomes very apparent. They soon click on that you are really alone. I am considering The Body Holiday resort as they cater for lone travellers a little better than other resorts. You are right about the poverty on the island. It is shocking. I saw it properly up near the rum distillery...children living in shacks with no shoes on their feet and dirty tiny streets. It is something that we have to accept, but I feel sorry for those people. There should be better standards of living considering St Lucia does so well out of tourism. Thanks again
Hi DD, thanks so much for your comment and watching the vlog! It is a bit scary a first solo traveling but I think you have a great plan. I tend to be overly precautious but I do think staying at a resort is a better option for visiting the island as a solo traveler. I agree that there should be far better living conditions for the locals in Saint Lucia. I hope you have an amazing time during your trip 💜💜
@@chelseaulendo Thanks again, please do upload more when you travel again 🙂
Stunning video 🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏽💯💯💯🔥👍🏽🔥👍🏽🔥👍🏽
Thanks so much 😊
@@chelseaulendo your welcome 😊
Watched from start to finish , love this 😍😍
Awwww thanks Mike 💓😊
Did you really hike the Pitons? Oh and Diamond Waterfall is the best and a real sulphuric waterfall. Anyway still a good video.
Lol no, I didn't unfortunately plans had changed and we only went to the lookout point but thanks for the tips
Hi I just came across your channel and was happy to see my beautiful island as headline. However what you " believe" to see as "EXTREME POVERTY" to you is not the case. I do take offense. This is a island not a Cosmopolitan country. There's a difference in Culture and don't think for once that the houses or what you saw make you think it's poverty. Oh by the way I'm a ST. Lucian living here in the USA and also person who live in many different European country's who have experienced many different other cultures. Thanks and have a great day.
Hi Fenela, Thanks so much for your comment! It's important that everyone feels that they can voice their opinions, I'm glad you voiced yours.
Please see the disclaimer in my description as I talked about how this was my personal experience, and as we know, personal experiences are subjective to the person experiencing the experience.
Take care, and thanks again for checking out the video 📹
Fenela, you're exhibiting the hyper-sensitivity to constructive criticism indicative of most people in the Caribbean.
Grow up!
St. Lucia is indeed fraught with EXTREME POVERTY. And you know this to be a fact. So why take offense when Chelsea is NOT, in any way, attempting to be derogatory?
The fact that you live here in the USA and no longer in St. Lucia is because you did it to escape the EXTREME POVERTY there. So why try to front on some false pretense to "difference in culture,"" as you so eloquently attempted to evade the economic facts? smh
Live, and let live!
If most St. Lucians would stop putting an over-emphasis on music and partying, and get focused, they could do away with their poverty in less than a decade.
But they'd rather sit back, all lackadaisical, and allow Europeans to come down their and open resorts, and make money, hand over fist.
It's deplorable that St. Lucians allow this. But they do it in almost all Caribbean islands.
Tragic to boot!
Now be offended and spew out your vitriolic response. This is going to be rich.
It's beautiful
Great post and I am considering travel to St Lucia and this resort early next year. Did you feel safe in area? Was the transportation expensive? Heard there is public transit on island. Any feedback is appreciative. Thanks
Hi Jackie,
I felt totally safe. The people of Saint Lucia were so kind and welcoming and made sure I had the best experience. As for transportation I tried renting a car (see end of video) but that didn't work. Fortunately the locals were kind enough to drive me wherever I wanted to go. The local transportation is a little tricky because there is a bus but you kind or have to just know where the pick up/drop off locations are as they aren't officially posted anywhere (to my knowledge). The resort itself was BEAUTIFUL!! (Bring tons of bug spray though lol you'll need it) I hope you have an amazing time when you do go and feel free to ask anymore questions 😊
My dear thanks for your information
I like you
Hello loved your video, what boat company did you use for your land no sea tour?
Hi! Thanks so much, the boat company was with the resort I stayed at so I'm not sure
Did the hotel provide the transport or did you book them with each individual excursion?
Hi Christi, the resort provided the transportation
Greetings from Turkey my friend, can you please write the model of the camera?
Greetings Güney! I literally just use my Samsung galaxy + editing skills to make it look like a high quality camera 😂
@@chelseaulendovery nice, is there an app you can recommend for iphone?
St Lucia is not poor aa 🥴🚶🏾♀️
Hi Nerdesy Randoms,
Thanks for watching and commenting !
What camera did you use to vlog ?
Hi, thanks for watching! I used my phone which was a Galaxy s22 Ultra ☺
Extreme poverty is in the United States. Big house and car all on credit. Caribbean homes are made out concrete not board like America. St Lucia is a beautiful island.
Hi Kam, thanks for watching, and you're absolutely right!
Hi did you us a private driver or taxis?
Hi! I did a taxi originally and the rest of my transportation was taken care of by a really kind local
Hello! Did you do all inclusive or no..?
I paid for separate excursions but all of the food was included
Which room did you get at WJ?!
Hey KeyAlicia! It was a one bedroom suite with a balcony view
what were you going to say about renting a car?
I just wouldn't recommend it, personally. I think I went I to more detail at the end of the video
I went 6 months ago lol thanks anyway
@@thejamirah😭😭😭😭😭 awww I'm sorry for the late reply! Somehow I missed this one. I hope you had a really great time
Solo trip but saying WE y’all need to stop capping . You are not solo
Hi Jay, thanks for watching. I'm saying "We" because I'm talking to my viewers lol I did the same thing in my Portugal vlog and there was some cofusion there as well. But the "We" is me and whoever is watching the vlog, I do that to create a more interactive experience for the viewer. But I can assure you, it was indeed a solo trip.
Hope that helped and thanks again for watching 💕
How was the food and drink ?
The food was incredible!
@@chelseaulendo oh k thanks can't wait
I think it is very bizarre to visit a country , an Island to be precise and comment on poverty. Were your travels for pleasure or business? It is a general knowledge that the Island countries will not be as wealthy as America or Europe. It's an island!!. Again , I dont get what point you were trying to make about extrene poverty. I have been to places whice appear under developed but I wouldn't make a blog about said place being in extreme poverty. Most people visit the Island for attractions and pleasure not to discuss poverty unless they are in a position to make a difference in said country. Choose your words wisely. I wonder if you have been to any other carribbean Islands? Were you expecting St.Lucia to look like America or Europe.
Hi Kimberly,
Thanks so much for watching the video and sharing your comment. Saint Lucia is a beauty and in the video, I explained why I commented on it. I hope Gods goodness and mercy be with you 💗 stay blessed
That lady was dead wrong about a $1100 deposit for a rental sounds like a scam see a women traveling solo people are ridiculous nobody in their right mind would pay that to rent a vehicle 😂
😂😂😂😂 I was extremely perplexed. Thank God my transportation throughout the island worked itself out! Thanks for watching until the end 💗🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
U r sweet
You’re so beautiful
Thank you 😊 💓
The poverty is high because of poor governance and lack of education.
This is what the local Saint Lucians were explaining to me!
No because of racism . Other well off countries simply do not want to trade with predominantly black countries and that’s how a country thrives through the goods they can supply. For instance the us is banning corn from Mexico and now all of a sudden corn is bad for us
