Dude, you go everywhere man. Good for you and thank you for sharing… Cheers.
Deadass was gonna type this lolz. He literally DOES NOT stop lolz. I’d love to see him go to more Europe and Asia though but he’s been crushing the America’s last 4 years
Puerto Rico was my most expensive trip ever. Beautiful island cool people cant wait for your review.
Did u stay in expensive hotel
I hope you enjoyed your stay in our beautiful Island. I hope my compatriots treated you well and show you real Puerto Rican hospitality
Hope we run into Juanita Morales NY Denver at the Taste of Puêrto Rico Denver Styleé She's one of 13 Old School Kids With 30 years Of Sobriety. Today only 11-7 14 the and Broadway Civic Center Park DENRICO 👨🏽🦳🇵🇷 🕺🏾 Stayin'Alive- Deep is The Love.
I certainly enjoyed myself when I went . Isla Bonita 🇵🇷 🏝
Love these vids. Living vicariously through you until I start travelling again.
Looking forward to your view on P.R.
The prices are pretty much just as Mainland USA.
That being said me being a buffet style type I would get a better buy for the money at all you can eat type restaurants.
Yo nice! The home of the biggest reggaeton artists. Looking forward to your adventure here!
welcome to our island, brother! u missed the street library (free books we exchange) on the left after your lunch at Bebo's - my fave restaurant in that area btw...nice find!
enjoy your stay and happy to help with any suggestions if u need! (PS- meal prices here can be much, much cheaper than what that girl told u...more like $3-5....just gotta get outta the tourist areas)
He could have bought the special at Supermax for about $7 to $8. It includes a drink
So strange I pretty much recognize all the streets you walked through, which is amazing! Enjoy the island! I left a few years ago and not been back for a long time due to all thats happened, was feeling pretty homesick, watching this really fills me with joy :)
It's nota a perfecto Paradise!, Right now is dangerous in the night. Ando the hotel proceso are extensive. I'm puerto rrican and I know the reality. Right now allá is expencive renta,good,gasoline,and vacations too. Be carefull un this áreas.
@@carlosjimenes5142 yeah I know that area really well, to be fair its not been safe for a few decades. Still it brings good memories
Change the history . I live in this área it's horrible right know. Asault and robe. A lot of crazy people after they Pandemia at the steet
It's horrible
I live here ,I'm puertorrican and it's horrible right now, robe ,asault,and crazy people after the Pandemia. Ando expencive verte extensive to live.
PR is heaven. Yeah it’s more expensive but that’s what you pay for to get the island life
No! You pay all that because of all the corruption. Island life is hard on locals
@@sayitasis8326 corruption is definitely something that needs to be acknowledged and yes it is hard for the locals. But from a pure supply chain perspective of course things will cost more especially in San Juan because it’s touristy and shipping things out to a small island will increase the cost of goods
You forgot to mention the cabotage laws that the USA has for us as a colony. Look for information about that and you will understand why it is quite expensive. It's not because of the "island life" but because of the corruption and the USA having us as a colony. :(
It looks run down
@@CJDA415things cost more because of Jones act of 1920. Get rid of that and the island can finally breathe again
It's all "empty" because this area has been incredibly gentrified. Let's say it like it is. Most buildings are abandoned and impossible for citizens to buy!
Gentrified by who? PR is hardly a big destination. I'm in a lot of digital nomad circles and have never heard once of people moving there
@@mierypesado6740 that's precisely because you don't live here so you don't see it. I've been here my whole life and i am seeing the exponential change in real time. Don't comment on what you don't know.
@@Essino Huh? The whole world is changing, that's not a PR thing. Show me one place that hasn't changed since you were young.
And to your point 'Don't comment on what you don't know', I'm saying I'm active in a lot of expat and digital nomad channels , where gentrification is commonly talked about for CDMX, Medellin, Panama City etc. and I said I've never heard of San Juan talked about as a place people are going.
Hence my question, gentrified by who?
Not everything is an attach, Sarah :)
@@mierypesado6740 Tax decrees that tie to US domestic earnings have brought in a ton of rich folks. They're paying cash for properties that native residents would need to finance. So you get seller-bias. But it's all isolated to specific areas of PR.
thankyou!!!!!!!
I am from DC I’ve been living here for a year and four months and you’re taping this video down the street from my house
What up Sly! I was there in March. Loved it. Love the vids man keep em comin
Just came back in January...go to Loiza, PR all Black town...it's BEAUTIFUL
I go every winter,and explore a different part. The local food is better than the tourist spots,and less expensive. I always see traveler's going to San Juan and they don't explore much more. But if you're adventurous there is more to offer. Travel around the island. It full of nice people, beautiful beaches, mountains, tropical rain forests, caves ,even a desert, and so much more.
Bienvenido con mucho respeto a mi Puerto Rico bello .. Grasias por hablar con mucho respeto .. my Blessing ...
I like that you are a single black man that dates internationally without bashing black women. Nothing wrong with sampling the flavors of the world but so often people need to put down black
Women in the process.
Let’s get this straight … so calling out the sisterhood over being masculine, wanting pookie and ray ray and wanting us to raise their kids in the process is somehow putting down black women … i guess those young brothas that got drafted into the NFL last week was putting down sistas too smfh u got the Boyce Watkins level simps , pookie and ray ray as well as the Dr Umar types … why do is as blue book travelers live rent free in yall lace front head 💯💯💯 yall the same ones celebrating a black woman dating zaddy … kick rocks
Sly: you moved quickly from point A to point B. Great job as always
the prices are like that because you are in that area, also there are so many beautiful areas in puerto rico to bad you did not post it i live here in pr. lived in new york this is heaven , so when you can post the beautiful scenarios in puerto rico so many other delicious food and areas to go....
I can't wait to watch all these videos. Puerto Rico is first on my list of places to go when I start traveling.
I live in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷. You walked in areas that I wouldn't go, unless is a group. So many beautiful places and people, but so many problems 😪
😮 I live in those areas. They're not unsafe. He didn't walk in any area that was dangerous.
You can get a real nice meal at some supermarket deli's for a good price. Bebo's is the BEST food restaurant in that area!
Those Welch’s Fruit Snacks are my kryptonite too lol. I get a box every month from Amazon.
I missed it all my heart! 🙏❤️🇵🇷🎶🙌🍁🍂
Sly man, You’ve inspired me to travel Latin America. Went to Panama & Costa Rica for 2 weeks in March, going back to Panama in August, planning to do Colombia & Peru in September god willing. Love the culture, and the women👀🥵
Once you go to Colombia you will never go to Panama again 😆
@@alopez9517 I’m Panamanian, I’m biased
That's understandable, I was there with the Navy and we got hit with the gringo prices all around. Sao Paulo still my favorite for the chicas. Melting pot of women
@@alopez9517 thing about me is I’m a brown skin brother, I blend in with everyone else until I open my mouth 😂
This just popped up on my feed. I hope you had a chance to explore different parts of the island and not just the San Juan Metro area (tourist spots). You are walking through Santurce and Bebos is located on Calle Loiza. If you walk a few blocks to your right you're in Condado. I usually shop at that supermarket whenever I go to Puerto Rico and find the prices to be the same like here in NYC. Most of those places in that area are closed due to genetifrication, the economic situation, natural disasters and other contributring factors occurring on the island. I'm also Puerto Rican and know not to walk through certain areas in Santurce like you did. Thank you for sharing!
I was at the exact locations! I enjoyed your video. Thank you !
Right around the way Sly… have fun! Keep ya head on a swivel💪
Yes, MOFONGO IS FROM PR🇵🇷😋
Mofongo is from PR, in the DR is called Mangú, and it’s made different, they taste similar but are cooked completely different, plus it’s an original dish from Africa. We and RD just made it a bit different, just like gyros and tacos.
Mangú & Mofongo are two different dishes. 😂😂😂 Dominicans be making Mofongo as well but I do agree it’s a Puerto Rican dish.
Thank you for posting Videos of Puerto Rico especially San Juan/ Condado!
Yes you are right , mofongo is from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Puerto Ricans are known to be very attractive
That is a damn lie.
FACTS 🇵🇷 And beautiful natural 🍑bodies.
Women from the island are beautiful. Better looking than the Puerto Ricans from the mainland, honestly.
@@dangda-ww7de NOT a lie.
@TheArawakReaper The dumb and poor are always saying gringo go home.
I enjoy watching your videos😎
Sly how’s it going my brother. Hilarious a.k.a. sugar water. I am planning a trip to Puerto Rico this year. Perfect Timing. I will be taking notes. As always stay healthy and be safe.
The three flags are there because it's the Dominican embassy.
Yeah
There are alot of us kin folk on the island...on Facebook look for Puerto Rico black edition. I Moved to Aguadilla 2.6 years now, own my home and ain't never going back to mainland u less to visit
@TheArawakReaper Funny coming from someone with the name Arawak...I'm Jamaican born and raised and my family are of native Arawak indian and Maroon blood
I'll be back home next year, so excited to leave the United States, people here live to work ....
Yes P.R is expensive but it depends on where you go. Anywhere touristy is gonna cost you waayyy more
Puerto Rico my island
Strange to watch you walk past my (ex) work and then past my (ex) crib in the first 2-3 minutes. Odd that everything was closed. Now you're where I used to be and I'm where you used to be (Brazil).
IM living right there the first 1min of the clip.
You can use your plan from the states for a month in the Island. Let your company knows and the deal is on.
Hey ive been following you a few years and recommended PR awhile back im glad you made it. if you need any advice let me know, ive been living here 5 years and can let you know some cool things/places in SJ/around the island
Hi visiting for the 3rd time In August what's another great area where the local hang that have great food
@@tamarawaite1981 Have you checked out Watusi/El Nie. That little area in santurce gets active. Bad Bunny showed up like 2 weeks ago randomly and people got excited. Theres also a food truck park and some restaurants near that street. I have a video for the nightlife + a food truck park in that area.
@@tamarawaite1981 go to the mountain and visit restaurant 'La Casita' in Jayuya.
Also in Arecibo "Islote Beach Restaurant" is amazing and right in front of the beach. Dont forget to go to the West. There are the most beautiful beaches on the island: Boqueron beach, Crash Boat beach, Peña Blanca beach, Buye beach. And so on. Go to the west!!!!
You have to go to la parguera y cabo rojo
refreshing👍.
Right on!!!! There's 3 flags. Cause D.R they live there...
It's awesome!!!!;
Consulate, guy, that's all. Don't get too enthusiastic.
There is the Dominican embassy at that building
Welcome to Puerto Rico. Thats my Island it isnt like it use to be. many people are moving away. But it is nice and beautiful beaches. enjoy yourself
hey, nice content, just randomly came across your channel and this video 😂
welcome to PR. just one observation, forget those crap beers you presented 🤣there and get some good local beer. 🍺
start light and basic with some Medallas 🥇 then get a taste of some variety of Ocean Labs, Old Harbor and some other smaller local craft breweries.
enjoy your stay 🙂
Great man you are out there doing your thing enjoy 😉 👍 👏. These seems like American prices I wonder what the rental rates are it seems like Mexico would be more affordable.
Mark Rush Mexico is the last country i would be at with all the gore cartel killings there, beautiful country though but the gore killing is demonic AF.
The place you stop to grab lunch in the beginning and the supermarket prices of both are no different from prices here in Alabama. That Desani water being .55 would have cost nearly $2 bucks here in AL lol.
Sly dude bro!
This area at the start of the video I know exactly where you are and it reminds me of some places in the city of Rio de Janeiro complet with the cobblestone side walk but minus the mosaic of the Rio’s sidewalks 🤙🏽
Another great and informative video bro🤙🏽
i need to visit puerto rico my family from my fathers side is from puerto rico and my mother is from dominican republic. i’ve only ever visited the DR.
We love love love PR
The Dominican flag is there because their consulate is there!
That's right
the streets of DR is not the same bro..cleaner here
DR must be hell then
oh, thanks for sharing. I m considering to visit Puerto Rico this year, so doing my research on it. Still cant decide among Colombia, Cuba and Puerto Rico. I was in Costa Rica in November and I liked it so much that I decided to travel if not all, well, then at least most of Latin America. :)
Oh. That's my neighborhood. You have visited all my places.
You def have to do Cuba next. I feel like it would be one of your favorites.
Verizon is no longer on the island but you do have limited service. In many places I had no coverage, otherwise I was on roaming. Or had to use WiFi calling that means being in a WiFi environment if you can find one. Was in San Juan in May 2022.
Brother, please come top The Gambia, West Africa. You get beautiful apartments for $200-$400 a month and you can get whole fish dinner for $4
How much for lady?
He should travel to Ghana! It’s beautiful here and cheaper
THANKS FOR SHARING VERY INFORMATIVE👍🏿
I noticed don’t see a lot of people on sidewalk but less! Wow I remember whose before a lot of people I’m shocked 😳
If you don't like rice and beans, they also have chicken and bananas, sorry no collar greens!
Fancy water - same water just in a different bottle
6:59 you should of said hi to her bro she was looking good 😎
Hey you are in Santurce not San Juan 🤷🏻♀️ That's Daddy Yankee's hood 🇵🇷
You had "mangu" when you were 8n Dominican 🇩🇴 Republic. They make "mangu" with is their version of mofungo
Enjoyed your street level review. Hope to visit PR someday! Gracisas!
Why didnt you get the claro at the airport?
1:25 That's Dominican Republic Consulate in San Juan.
Yes
I love love love Puerto Rico
My AT&T plan did not have a problem in the PR.
El colmado 😂, I love this men !
I love the way you pronounce correctly Puerto Rico. I hear people saying it like Porto Rico.
Porto Rico was the original spelling and anunciation of Boriquen until the U.S. changed its name.
Lemme guess... you have an accent while speaking english, but are going to look down on english speakers with an accent while speaking Spanish, right? Smh typical
Im from Europe live in US i say Porto Rico 😂
Dope vid dude. How long you staying this time?
Dude ordered Mofongo and Amarillos, what are you doing?? 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
Sly, how you make $ to travel? Can you break down income streams, the % of all income streams earned, how long it took to earn that?
Why did u have to get a plan card if u have your cellphone?? I'm going in July and just wanted to know if I'd need one
Wow 👏. Uruguay 🇺🇾 should be next lol
The most fascinating thing is the black and white signs " Pal Carajo Luma" 🔥 lol
Hey Sly! how do you find apartments to live in on short term rentals? do you need to apply for any visa's and stuff like that as well? thanks for the video
If you’re traveling from the US there’s no visa required, since it’s just like moving from one part to another within the nation. For short term rentals you could do Airbnb or Expedia.
We love Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 nice vlog
Ocean Park. My favorite diner on Loiza ave.
hype for your pr trip check out Culebra island !
My favorite bebo restaurant so good
My partner and I are planning a trip to Puerto Rico this coming December. Thus far every video I’ve clicked on hasn’t shown me anything about the females. Is there any clubs or area that has females out their? I’m not coming just for the scenery and the food.
Women are women... When you see one you like at the mall, beach, or restaurant just speak to her. You don't need a video to tell you that.
I miss living in puerto rico😊
Hey Sly, which country would you suggest for a single 20 something year old guy working remotely ?
Prominent Wolf Definitely Argentina, Argentina is pretty much high class
cordoba argentina florianopolis brazil thank me later
Mexico City
You don't need to get a phone plan in PR. LoL... We got TMobile, At&t, Boost, etc
I think Cuba is coming up
youre in fnk Condado... prices are higher...
There's in Area in Puerto Rico with a large Dominican population, they even have a Dominican mayor.. that flat is not there for cimilarities ..
Barrio obrero. Nothing to see there though
Pfft thats a sink hole.
@@nesq4104 nothing New.. Corruption have always been the daily cup of Café
@@luizmelendezgaming1615 eso lo arreglan en las elecciones
Love the food❤
You had MANGU in the D.R. not Mofongo🤣
Mofongo has become very international, with many delicious variations, quite a few countries have adapted it and transformed it, resulting in very a yummy dish!!!
I was told the curviest women in all of Latin America are Puerto Rico, D.R and Brazil.
Let us know what you think.
Colombian
Boricuas 🇵🇷🍑
@@commoncentz3148 I'd say naturally PR but unnatural Columbia by far
@@commoncentz3148 Colombia is the Latin capital of the plastic surgery. Not valid if it's not natural.
@@yetmel5834 Your Opinion 🤷
People don’t walk too much in PR, did you rented a car
I wonder why alot of the African American Expat travelers on RUclips doesn't visit and show Puerto Rico?
Bro Man I think because there are already lots of Puerto Ricans in the US so i gues you want to see something different
@@commoncentz3148 Are you drunk? Puerto Ricans 🇵🇷 are Americans 🇺🇸🇵🇷 and been in the USA wayyyy before Dominicans 🇩🇴
@@BoricuaNyc I said more. Not who have been here longer.
@@commoncentz3148 Far more Puerto Ricans. NY…700,000 PR…500’000 Dominicans, and so and so on
@@commoncentz3148
There are about 5.8 million of Puerto Ricans in U.S. ( 3.2 million in P.R.)
Florida overtook N.Y. with the largest PRican population ( after hurricane Maria)
PRicans will eventually outnumber the Cuban population, which has historically been the largest group in Florida.
NewYork🗽🇵🇷 still has more than a million Boricua residents.
Anybody know what camera he uses? Love all your videos bro.
Its blasphemous that you were in Puerto Rico and don't eat pork. We gunna have to change that bro. Mofongo de pernil and your on another level of happiness 😊
man...... you went to one of the most expensive supermarkets in san juan... Condado Supermax.. next time instead go to santurce walmart... is very cheap there
Basically same prices here in San Diego California
