Day 2 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. I'll be in Puerto Rico for the next 7 days documenting the state of the island three months after Hurricane Maria.
In this second video, I take you on a tour of Old San Juan! It's got to be one of the most beautiful old cities in North America.

My God! The most beautiful island in the World
Travel Trivia thank you 😀
I love Puerto Rico. Thank you for sharing this video. Our hearts are with that beautiful island.
U are totally right! Want to help go visit. It’s better for people to have steady work than a one time hand out. Thanks to all that visit mi Puerto Rico!
As a Puerto Rican I just want to say "Thank you from my 💛💙💜". And Yes!!!, If you can visit us, that is the best way you can help, contributing with the local businesses and entrepreneurs.
Jilia Lima you should also check out our travel vlog over San Juan, Puerto Rico! 😁 ruclips.net/video/oFtMOalf30s/видео.html❤️❤️
PR IS BEAUTIFUL .
It sure is! 🇵🇷
Glad the old town in Puerto Rico is doing well. When I visited (years ago), I skipped going inside the fort because I wanted more time for pina coladas! It does look pretty neat inside. That was so nice of Randy!
Hahaha! Honestly, both the fort and the piña coladas are great.
Two Traveling Texans how did you skip that man that’s probably the coolest part of all of San Juan
Two Traveling Texans thank u
I love San Juan just beautiful
I'm from Puerto Rico, somehow stumbled here, and love your videos (also saw the one in Condado for day #1... I live in Condado). Agree 100% with everything you say and thank you for your recommendation: come visit, is the best way to help. I remember after Hurricane Katrina New Orleans said "we are open for tourism and business travel. Don't have pity of us, bring your annual meetings here, come again. Best way to help is reengage and foster tourism".... same thing here in PR. We have the 3d largest system of caves in the world, the only tropical rain forest in the US, the largest radio telescope in the world (although China is building the largest now), you don't need a passport to come, food is amazing (tons of restaurants and local fresh cuisine) and people are mega friendly. Thanks for your videos.
I need a passport, as I'm Canadian! 😅 But you raise some great points, and you are right, more Americans should visit this beautiful island.
Wow Old San Juan is AMAZING.. As one of your 6 viewers.. You just sold me on visiting when I can . A shame what happened there :(
Old San Juan has to be one of the best kept secrets in the Americas. Luckily it was saved the worst of the damage from maria
Here Be Barr Yes, please come down!! Puerto Rico is great~
Here Be Barr I grew up in Puerto Rico Jon, highly recommend you visit it
For sure !!
That’s what Puerto Rico needs - tourism back and running. I was there for two weeks in November helping out and I made sure I spent my money locally to help,the economy. I don’t live there anymore but I was born and raised there. It’s a beautiful place and worth visiting.
Man, I'm so glad I found your channel! I had no idea Puerto Rico was so beautiful!
I think it's amazing you decided to go check it out after the hurricane. How long will you be staying there? Do you have other things in mind to check out while you're there?
Keep enjoying!
Alan Hegewisch Check my video about the Caribbean
Hey Alan, thanks for your comment. I spent 7 days in Puerto Rico. I was able to travel through the countryside and see many small towns. The problem was that I didn't have power or wifi for most of my time out there. So now I have lots of footage to edit haha, I will be working overtime this Christmas 🤣
But I will have at least 3 more videos coming out on Puerto Rico! 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
Hahah, I see, hopefully the edits will bring back a lot of good memories. Merry Christmas!
I love my island ❤💙
I had no idea Puerto Rico was so beautiful! And people there look so nice and friendly too.Oh man we have so catching up to do on your channel! Another great video Dan!
🙏❤️🇵🇷❤️🇵🇷❤️ Thankyou for sharing this video of our beautiful island even through it’s tough times we continue to be resilient and humble.Thankyou again ❤️🇵🇷❤️
You are very welcome
Thank You for the real videos and not the fake media
Thank you, Alex
What a wonderful video, Dan! I can't wait to see how things are away from San Juan.
+Mitchell Barnow Thanks Mitchell. There's going to be some intense footage from the countryside. But it needs to be shared
Everyone should know the truth.
Good video guy,i long to watch more about Puerto Rico.Good luck.
You won't have to wait too long! More PR videos coming soon 🇵🇷
Thanks for coming to my beautiful island🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
I'm planning a trip to Puerto Rico for February or March. Irma might have stopped me from going to Saint Maartin this time, but Maria won't stop me from seeing Puerto Rico!😎
1:34 That's the capitol building (El Capitolio), not where the governor lives. lol
opps! 😬
Hee. This is the actual governor's mansion, La Fortaleza (The Fortress):
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Fortaleza
The New Travel ypu probably passed by it and didn’t notice it
It’s beside that huge door that has a name I can’t remember but it is colored blue and white
Loved this. Thanks for sharing your experience! I'm headed there this weekend
Beautiful! great video and tour.. And a Thanks to you too Randy ! 😃
the money went to give food, and to fix the lighting poles, electricity and water, which were all priorities for them. Thank you for making theses videos, Im going tomorrow to Puerto Rico and I cant wait till I see my family amd friends.
Thanks for this video! So glad that Old San Juan is better than I expected. Next time you're in Puerto Rico, you must visit Vieques. The mist beautiful place in Puerto Rico in my opinion. Also has the world's brightest bioluminescent bay! Check out RUclips videos of the Mosquito Bay of Viruses, Puerto Rico. Again, thumbs up to this video.
I heard from another Puerto Rican that Vieques is the most beautiful place to visit. I didn't have time to make it out there on this trip. I hope to visit one day, I have to come back to "la isla del encanto" :)
Omg thank you for loving your visit
gracias ismarelys :)
Thank you for visiting P.R.
This is my last video from San Juan. In my next video, I will be going to the countryside of Puerto Rico, where the hurricane damages are much worse.
First I wanted to share this video on Old San Juan, truly one of the most beautiful neighbourhoods I have explored in any city. In Old San Juan, the power is back and the area is ready for tourists.
Other parts of the island... not so much. Many people in rural areas are without power and every day is a struggle. I hope you stay tuned for the next videos. I will work hard to show you both the struggle and the beauty of the Puerto Rican countryside.
Puerto Rico Se Levante! 🇵🇷
The New Travel Thanks! You're doing a great job showing that PR need help but at the same time is a wonderful place. I spent 3 months without power and most days without water. There's a lot of places that need help and showing this videos, people is aware of the problem we are facing. Have a great time in my beloved island. If I can help you with something, try to reach me. I will love to help you to enjoy the beauty of PR.
The New Travel just beautiful I visited twice as a kid . love to visit again . great video of my parents beautiful island .🇵🇷🌴🐸
Puerto Rico se levanta** but yeah true true
The New Travel. 😊
The New Travel thank you for visiting our home land!
Thank you , thank you , thank you
Love all videos☺☺☺☺Love my island 🤗
I heard the Hurricane was devastating so I'm sympathetic with the locals. Hope they come together and can rebuild it.
My beloved island. Well done.
Thank you :)
I was just thinking that. Definitely, the best thing to do is visit. Nature fixes itself, it doesn't need money, it needs care and love from people that actually want to look at the beauty it has to offer.
8:45 - Great message.. that's the best way to help us in Puerto Rico, by visiting & sharing their stories with others!! Glad you enjoyed Old San Juan! Tip: Sunsets in the West Coast are to DIE FOR! xD
what a magical place that is.
Was in old San Juan two weeks ago unfortunately for only a few hours. Such a beautiful place. Can’t wait to visit again next year!
Thanks for sharing 👍 hope ya'll enjoyed your stay here 🙏😎🇵🇷☝️
Funny thing is that, where you had the piña colada, is the actual place that invented the drink!
Also, thanks for visiting us. Hope you had a blast here!
Thank you for uploading and sharing your video👍
You're welcome!
I love old san juan! Its empty tho 😥. And that wasnt the white house thats where the senate meets. The white house is called la fortaleza its more beautiful. Thanks for ur time there.
Does it normally get much busier? I kept thinking, there could be so many more people on these streets...
The New Travel That is a ghost town compared to before maria. And this is supposed to be high season. Last year this time it was packed! We need more tourist.
Well I hope my videos can help with that in a little way
The New Travel i hope so too thank u!
I used to live there. I had to work a lot but the weekends were fun. If you love scenery, rent a car and go to to west and south of the island. I was lucky to work with people who enjoyed seeing the island. If you are looking for damage stop in the smaller towns along the way. Good for you traveling and creating awareness. Your video was well done with great editing. Being broke in PR is way better than being broke here in Columbus, Ohio. Many people don’t know that you don’t need to change money in PR, it’s the US Dollar. You don’t NEED to know Spanish! 80% of the people are bilingual. You are not going to be mugged walking down the street. PR has everything the 50 states have. Same with USVI’s. The more you see, the more you will be addicted to PR. Safe travels! I love you San Juan and PR!!!
Thanks for your visit
You had said what I been since day 1 we need to move the economy that’s the best way to help
This makes me sad for some reason 😂 I remember as a kid walking the streets of Old San Juan everyday 😂 my best memories where when I lived in Puerto Rico so many nice people live in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷❤️💙
Great video Dan!
Nice video!!! Thanks for visiting.
Thank you for showing me where my family came from- - BU:-) 1st we came from Espain y Portugal.
We will be flying out to San Juan in a few days, so I found your vlog on Puerto Rico. Can't wait to be exploring San Juan. We will definitely check out the El Morro fort, and the timelapse over the cemetery (with the dome) is cool!
I'm sure it will be a different feeling to visit it now vs in 2017 after the hurricane. Pina colada sounds good!
Glad you enjoyed :) yes, it'd be interesting to see how rebuilding efforts have gone
Great video! Love it
Viva PR!
I really want to make it over to San Juan one day, great video Dan! trying to catch up on all of your latest content haha
Thanks, Dima. Take your time the videos aren't going anywhere! Haha 😁
Enjoy FROM LUQUILLO PUERTO RICO
🇵🇷 🇵🇷 🇵🇷
I visited the island and will be visiting it sooner. It is a beautiful place!
I agree :)
Absolute beauty
Wuju Puero Rico 💕💕😍😍🇵🇷🇺🇸
Amazing work thank you for your honest video and love for our country we expect you back soon! Medalla on us 😀🇵🇷
Hey, guy, Great job with this video and the positive motivated massage you send. My congrats to you.Thanks
Thanks Luis!
You awesome dude. Great video
Thanks :)
Great job...
Thanks!
Amazing!!!!!!
that last clip was funny :D
The streets look really beautiful, they remind us of Havana, Cuba! Lol Randy looks so chill. Nice american hospitality ;-) We definitely know what you mean, when traveling on the west coast of the usa, we were really surprised how warm and friendly and helpful americans are!
I was also reminded of Cuba. Even though I've never been to Cuba... my "ideas" of Cuba we're like this haha
I am going to Puerto Rico Dan!!! Then machu pichu Peru!!!
YES, Barra CHina is the home Piña Colada was Invented. Old San Juan was founded in 1521 by Spain. Old San Juan supposed to be a exact copy of the city of Cadiz Spain back in 1500.
Thanks!
You're welcome!
Wonderful video!!!
Thank you dawn!
❤🇵🇷
So it’s good to have cash .... And Randy is a cool dude !
First place they fixed up and had lighting was San Juan. But go to the country side and I mean DEEP into the country side there are places still without light and everything has been destroyed.
The island looks nice. This might be a good time to go since there's not that many Americans there.
thank u
Is not called the white house. That is the capitol building. The governor's mansion is in Old San Juan and is called La Fortaleza.
You should get yourself a drone, would be a great shot from up there.
Just for the records, that was the capitol. There it's no white house in PR. Governor's house is La Fortaleza.
I'm watching this because I've planned since last summer to go to PR for a mini vacation. Anyway, some people (Puerto Ricans) have told me that I shouldn't go there anymore because of "feeling guilty". But I did some research and tourism company in PR is saying that PR needs tourism income. So I don't know what to do now, go or cancel, still got 1 more month before my planned trip.
What you passed is the Capitol building. Not the governor’s house. That’s where the legislature meets. The governor’s house, La Fortaleza, is in Old San Juan. It seems that the Uber driver didn’t speak English so he couldn’t explain that to you.

Not the white house, is the capitol building..
Every Saturday I go there and run about 2-3 miles thru the fort
Great video and great words at the end of the video. God Bless!! Are you from Wisconsin?
I'm from Canada :)
The New Travel close enough! Lol
my name is José i live in the town of comerio it is a gorgeous island but if someone reads this plz come to the inside of the island to experince the best
El morro😍😍
Great video man and God bless.. Randy was awesome I hope to meet him someday.. Y'all should post on Steemit.com and d.tube
Hey thanks man, I actually do have an account on dtube, though I'll admit I don't post all that often. If you want you can find me here:
d.tube/#!/c/gravitywins
I just found it.. Dang brotha sorry I missed it.. I will look forward to the next one on there!
Haha no worries ;) My problem is slow internet makes it tough to find time to upload to youtube + dtube. But I do think the site is cool
Thanks for sharing this video. I am purertorican and have family there and I was and still am very concern about them. I always visited the fort and San Juan when I visit. The Island still needs help after the hurricane. You are so right, where is the money from charities? thanks again for traveling to Puerto Rico ;D
Se nota la tristesa de un pueblo deprimido.
That isn't the governor's residence or house that he named white house. That is the capitol of puerto Rico
Whitehouse? NO!
Capitol Building (Legislature) "El Capitolio"
Governor's Mansion, "La Fortaleza" is next to "La Puerta de San Juan" (The Door to San Juan) in the old city. Next to the entrance to the harbor.
Yes, visit the Island!
Try to stay in Old San Juan for at least 3 nights, there are several well priced hotels. That will save you loads of cash and time in taxis rides. It will also give you time to see all the historic sites, bars, restaurants and stores.
Old San Juan is a pedestrian city, so get on your walking shoes and enjoy.
Many donations, in some cases, to charities are unfortunately consumed in by administrative and fund raising cost.
So heck to make sure you get the biggest bang for your donation dollars.
did u know that the Pina Colada was originated at that bar?
+Cool dog 112 I found out after filming that part 😁 I talk about this right in the last 20 seconds of the video hehe
@9:25 Is Adam from "Man v Food" a security guard now? Lol
You have to be careful donating to Charities. The majority of them take hefty fees from your donation. So say you donated $10. That $10 once the Charity takes their cut out of the money and by the time it reaches the Destination will be around $4. Vultures those ones are.
How much was the hostile and what is the name of it?
Thats not called the white houses. is the capitolio. The governor lives in fortaleza
😘
Its funny because I'm Puerto Rican living in the Island and never I've being in the Morro! :/
I’m an coast guard evacuee the fort is el Moro
Is that Randy ortan the wwe wrestler??
And I lived in bayamon
What type of camara you have? brand you keep saying about the camera im curious now.
I use a Canon 70D :)
Take the trolley
How about some historical context while you were at the Fort? Take some cues from rick steves and try offering a little more educational narrative in your videos.
My channel is not about history, it's about the experience of being there. To each their own :)
Debit card . . . no cash,a rocket surgeon obviously.
Visit . . . Spend money directly . . . Good advice
Hi I have a question about costa rica, wich places do you recomend to visit I have plans to visit in 2018.
+Jessica Ramírez Manuel Antonio national park is a great place.... But this video is puerto Rico! 😂
yes I know but also I saw your videos from costa rica thats way I ask, FUerza Puerto Rico hope its recober soon
Ok haha no problem, I say that because sometimes people confuse the two. When I was in Costa Rica I met someone who was getting msgs from their family asking how they were doing after the hurricane. Even though it's a completely diff country 😆😏
