Hi guys I been lately fighting with anxiety for the pass few months but your videos are so down to earth and calm that it has help me to feel better. Thank you so much for creating this awesome channel. Hopefully one day when I'm fully recover I can take a trip down there. Great job guys FYI love how you mix both Spanish and English in to the video.
I remember playing on those kind of beaches when I was little. It was 30 yrs ago when my dad was stationed there on the military base. We would spend hrs at the beach. We'd take fairs to near by islands. I love your videos❤️ brings back great memories
I stayed 2 nights in Culebra back in 2017 and it was a wonderful experience (and adventure). We also took a flight and rented a golf cart. I visited Flamenco, Tamarindo, and Zoni. So beautiful!! I can’t wait to go back. ❤️
You guys have what it takes to become RUclips famous. We watch a lot of travel blogs and Spanish language learning. Your podcasts are a little hard for us but we are using them to learn. If you blend more Spanish into you English blogs, like half, I think you would hit a niche of Spanish learners. When you do it we love it.
Hola! I'm from the US and visited Culebra last month. We actually ate at the same bakery, Pandeli a few times. We stayed the night at Mamacita's guest house. Thanks for sharing your experience. We plan on moving to PR soon. We love that place ❤
This is a good video. After recently spending 3 weeks in Culebra, I would like to mention that there is a better entrance to Flamenco (just follow the pavement instead of turning on the dirt path) It costs $7 to enter. There is parking for Jeeps and ATVs. There are multiple food kiosks. A bar with karaoke, souvenir shop, a place to rent beach chairs and umbrellas, decent bathroom and a nice communal shower to rinse the sand off. You'll be sharing with others including Roosters and cats, but its still a nice area to rinse off. No getting naked. Not only is Playa Flamenco wonderful, with everything you need, right on the beach, I would also like mention Playa Zoni, on the north side of the island. Roads are narrow and hills, but my golf cart did just fine. It's a beautiful drive. There are no food or beverage options on this beach, however, the water sand and views are beautiful. You'll get a glimpse of the virgin islands from Zoni Beach. As a fellow traveler, just wanted to share my perspective. I'm officially subscribed to your channel. Thank you for the great content.
Great video Jim and May. Your videos just make anyone watching feel good and happy. I was going to say that you and May looked more like you were on a roller-coaster than on an airplane by your facial expressions. Lol. Poor you and May also having to do all that running in the airport. Looks like me in the DFW airport in Dallas. Lol.
¡Gracias, Paul! We’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed it. Yes, the flight definitely felt more like a roller-coaster while we were landing. 😂 Happy holidays! Un saludo. -Jim
Hi May and Jim. The best part of the flight to Culebra is the landing...sliding down the side of that mountain feels like a roller coaster ride! I miss Culebra and scuba diving in Tamarindo beach. Glad you could enjoy my favorite island. Blessings!

Hola de Texas Jim & May, Ese fue un gran video y realmente me gustó el metraje bajo el agua y la comida se ve muy bien. Espero que estén bien, acabo de comenzar un nuevo trabajo y cuando pueda me gustaría conocerlos e ir a un retiro o simplemente pasar el rato y tal vez ustedes puedan ayudarme con mi español. Bueno, Jim y que tengan una gran noche y estaré esperando el próximo video de aprendizaje y aventuras. Feliz noche
Saludos! Espero que la pasen super en mi bella islita! Que bello ver las bellezas de Culebra!

Muy caro todo. Soy boricua y de verdad es difícil a veces disfrutar de nuestras cosas porque son muy careros en muchos sitios. Espero hayan disfrutado.
Looks like fun. At one time I was type rated for the aircraft you were in. I learned to fly (commercially) at Winona State. I think you can get out there from Fahardo also
I went to a surfing competition here in Huntington Beach and there were baby sharks swimming under the pier. They were about 1 foot long. No-one seemed to are, I was fascinated. This is one of the best beaches for surfing in So. Cal.
Next time you visit Tamarindo, if you keep walking to the left on the shore, you will find a pole. That's the best place to do snorkeling. You will see more fishes and turtles! But you need to use watershoes because of the rocks
Hi Belinda! Yeah, we actually had vouchers that were about to expire, so we decided to use them on this trip. We have taken the ferry to Vieques before though, and I can tell you that flying was much faster and that sometimes the ferry might not be available for tourists if a trip has been sold out for locals. We have more info here though to help you decide which option might be better for you: spanishandgo.com/travel/things-to-do-in-culebra-puerto-rico Thanks for watching! -Jim
You guys have to go to Cayó Luis Peña next time. It’s that small island across from Tamarindo. We kayak there all the time. Yes, Tamarindo, Carlos Rosario are good snorkeling beaches.
¡Hola! ¿Cómo estás? ¡Me gustan mucho tus videos! 🤓👍 Soy azerbaiyano, pero estoy aprendiendo español con tus videos. ¡Gracias de nuevo! 🤩 (¡Ambos se ven geniales! 😉)
The reason for red street lights is to protect the sea turtle hatchlings. When the turtles hatch they confuse the white lights for the moonlight and end up being crushed by cars. In the past few years in many coastal towns around Puerto Rico, they have changed to those red lights.
Red lights are for the baby turtles. They will mistake the street lights for the moon and not go into the sea. Not sure if anyone already answered this but we have plenty of those lights on the West Coast of PR.
Not yet! But I've been thinking about it for awhile now. Being nearsighted is such a pain in the water, and I usually just deal with not being able to see very well. -Jim
The sharks won't bother you (unless they're bull sharks - but they're usually found only in brackish, murky water; the kind you wouldn't want to swim in anyway). Remember, sharks like to eat sushi just like we do! They don't eat people for much the same reasons people don't eat other people - because we taste horrible from all the iron in our blood, and the garbage we eat for our diet, and the medicines we take, etc - they make our flesh taste terrible. Remember: Fish generally taste like what they normally eat - so, fish that have a diet mainly of shrimp will sort of taste like shrimp... Now you know the secret to ordering a fish for dinner!
I enjoyed the video, however I was disappointed that you didn't speak more Spanish. I watch your videos to improve my Spanish and share your experiences.

Red lights are to protect nesting of sea turtles.. you can see these red lights in some areas in Fajardo as well.

Can I ask why did you guys choose to fly? We are visiting Culebra in June from the mainland and worry about using the ferry.
Hi Belinda! Yeah, we actually had vouchers that were about to expire, so we decided to use them on this trip. We have taken the ferry to Vieques before though, and I can tell you that flying was much faster and that sometimes the ferry might not be available for tourists if a trip has been sold out for locals.

Yes, it’s just a lil more expensive
Gracias por compartir
Just curious, why did you choose to fly rather than take the ferry?
That's crazy, I was thinking about and looking into the possibility of going to Puerto Rico just earlier today.
That looked like a cool trip! Glad you only saw a baby shark.
Buenos dias me gusta su canal. Quisiera saber el nombre del air b&b donde se quedaron en Culebra. Gracias
Nice video. Are you guys still in PR?
Wow so you guys flew to Culebra instead of Ferry.
I’m going to PR in May,
May 5th to May 18th....
Can you keep the golf cart for a few days?
Yes, just let them know how long you’d like to rent it for when you go in.
The reason for red street lights is to protect the sea turtle hatchlings. When the turtles hatch they confuse the white lights for the moonlight and end up being crushed by cars. In the past few years in many coastal towns around Puerto Rico, they have changed to those red lights.

Yes very hard
Hey did you guys find any sea glass?

When is the second part coming out?
Jim! Do you have eye contacts in Puerto Rico? Or only using glasses? I was curious from the glasses and mask situación haha
Not yet! But I've been thinking about it for awhile now. Being nearsighted is such a pain in the water, and I usually just deal with not being able to see very well. -Jim
The red lights protect the to glares or turtles they are sensitive to those light
Culebra best place in the world 🌏

We were there October 29th-30th, 2020. Things are currently about the same as when we visited. Thanks for watching! -Jim
Very good. You nedd to know Maragogi in Brazil. The new caribe.
¿Por qué tú y May no hacéis un vídeo sobre jerga puertorriqueña?
I heard that landing applause lol
Do you think you could live here? Like if you had a savings could you buy a car and get an apartment or house and jus move here?
Did you guys arrived safe to your house 🏡!? 👀 wasn’t you guys suppose to fly back today?
Hi I live there is soo beautiful
What is the music that is playing
I live on Culebra. I think I saw you guys at the beach.😂😂
Y May porque no metiste en la agua!?
YOU SHOULD TRY PLAYA VIEQUEZ
I have a question ... is Culebra open to the general public?
yes. Viewed is not at the time I am writing this.
Where did you fly from?
San Juan.
Are they allowing travelers??
Yes, they are. 👍🏻
What species of shark?
I thought the US dollar went a long way in Puerto Rico?
You can fly to Culebra. Omg. I had only taken the ferry. Jajajajajajajaja
Is it me or what’s left seems very damaged underwater?
