    There are tons of travel bloggers on RUclips, but I love the way you really interact with the local people, cuisine, and cultures in your videos. So many people are obsessed with having luxurious, instagram-ready experiences that they don’t truly engage with the countries they visit. I think you’re a TRUE traveller

    Honestly, this video is a little entertaining but there are many more fun and interesting things to do in St. Lucia than what’s listed here. A few of them are nice, such as hiking the Gros Piton, but this list is very, very touristy and doesn’t really capture the local “core”of what St. Lucia is really about from outdoor activities to St. Lucia cuisine. My advice for St. Lucia travel is to do a little research and seek out more of the hidden gems and real local experiences. For example, instead of the “booze cruise” activity, consider going sailing with Mystic Man in Soufriere near tge Pitons to experience the reef, the Pitons from the water, and to do some dolphin watching. Or, go up into the often overlooked Edmund Rainforest and take an adventure hike Tia beautiful hidden waterfall. This is a lot more exciting than the “drive up” waterfall that is overrun with tourists during the day. Another hidden gem is to spend part of the day at Sapphire Jungle Spa near the volcano and learn all about the local flora and fauna from real experts. Take a drift snorkel trip near the Pitons and get to experience the real snorkel gems such as the Coral Gardens or Devil’s Hole. Go mountain jungle biking in the rainforest environment near Anse Mamin an$ spend some time on one of the island’s most scenic and pristine beaches. Take an art tour in Choiseul and learn all about the culture and tradition of crafts like coal pot making. For culinary experiences, St Lucia has such a rich history and tradition and there is so much missing from this little video. There are so many wonderful real local island chefs to explore. Dine at more interesting local places such as the Pink Plantation House on the Morne.

      it was certainly good to know that st Lucia as a small island has so much diverse attractions. How ever the first video was so well put together and its producer needs to be commended. As for the added information we thank you and it can be put into another compilation. sometimes the visual helps.

      1 Like the prophets of the Bible, in April 1993, I, Kacou Philippe, a man who had never been in a church, I receive in a vision, the visitation of an Angel who commissions me for a Message destined to the whole earth in fulfillment of Matthew 25:6 and Revelation 12:14. This is the account of my conversion, as well as the three great visions of the call and commission as I received them:
      2 I came to conversion on April 24, 1993 according to Daniel 10:4 to 11 by a vision in which I saw myself standing on the sand of the sea and then on top of a high pyramid and then again on the sand of the sea in another place and I saw an old military truck coming out of the depths of the sea and leave behind me. I turned and I saw that it contained living people. They were women and one of them was mixed-race.
      3 Then two doves came toward me and went back over the waters. And there was an eclipse, then a man having the appearance of a Cloud and holding a sword came down from Heaven with a Lamb and the earth was illuminated again. They stood on the waters and the Lamb began to speak to me in an unknown tongue. The sound of his voice came into me and I fell dead. My soul went to stand on the waters with them while my body was lying on the sand of the sea. When He had finished speaking to me, my soul came into me and I became alive again but I no longer saw Them.
      4 Then a crowd of people came toward me from the right side and I asked them if they had seen the Angel and the Lamb. They said, "No!" And I said: “But, how did you not see the Angel and the Lamb and all the things They have done?” They replied, "We have not seen the Angel and the Lamb and we have not heard the Words the Lamb pronounced, but we entirely believe It because what God gave and that the devil took, has now been restituted to you ". I looked up and I saw a ladder set up between the sky and the earth, above the waters and angels ascended and descended. And the vision ended and I felt what I know today to be the Holy Spirit and I wept and I believed in God on the spot. [Kc.64v3] [Kc.130v9]
      5 The following day at around 3 p.m. while I was sitting with my family, I was transported again in vision into a totally desert country and I saw eastward Words that were coming down from Heaven carried on Clouds. It was after these two visions that I got up and went to church for the very first time. [Kc.137v37]
      6 In a third vision, we were sitting in an examination room for the Advanced level test and the examiner was distributing the test-papers. I said to myself, "But what am I doing here? I do not have a good school level and what am I going to write?” And later, It was said to me: "The same way that Mary conceived miraculously, without knowing any man, the same way that Moses received in details what happened at the creation, you too, you have received the Words of eternal Life on this April 24, 1993 and it is decreed by God. At the appointed time, you will understand and you will teach what you did not learn in order that whoever believes has eternal Life". [Kc.9v34] [Kc.30v1-3]

And I said: “But, how did you not see the Angel and the Lamb and all the things They have done?” They replied, "We have not seen the Angel and the Lamb and we have not heard the Words the Lamb pronounced, but we entirely believe It because what God gave and that the devil took, has now been restituted to you ". I looked up and I saw a ladder set up between the sky and the earth, above the waters and angels ascended and descended. And the vision ended and I felt what I know today to be the Holy Spirit and I wept and I believed in God on the spot. [Kc.64v3] [Kc.130v9]
      5 The following day at around 3 p.m. while I was sitting with my family, I was transported again in vision into a totally desert country and I saw eastward Words that were coming down from Heaven carried on Clouds. It was after these two visions that I got up and went to church for the very first time. [Kc.137v37]
      6 In a third vision, we were sitting in an examination room for the Advanced level test and the examiner was distributing the test-papers. I said to myself, "But what am I doing here? I do not have a good school level and what am I going to write?” And later, It was said to me: "The same way that Mary conceived miraculously, without knowing any man, the same way that Moses received in details what happened at the creation, you too, you have received the Words of eternal Life on this April 24, 1993 and it is decreed by God. At the appointed time, you will understand and you will teach what you did not learn in order that whoever believes has eternal Life". [Kc.9v34] [Kc.30v1-3]
