St Croix is a beautiful island . Thank you watching

Is just an amazing place I was just there with my family 😎 cool piece of mind

@imtex5436 where did stay ?

Please be careful! St. Croix = HIGH CRIME. And the crime is not relegated entirely to public housing projects and gang activity. Tourists are victimized all the time. And the local media neglects to report on a lot of the crime, including violent crimes. The police are infamously incompetent and corrupt. Avoid quiet beaches, stay out of Fredricksted after dark and confine your night visits to Christiansted to the immediate area around the wharf. If you want to visit the USVI's St. John is much safer and more idyllic. So are the British Virgin Islands. And down island St. Kitts, St. Lucia and Dominica are safer and also beautiful, volcanic islands with friendlier residents. And there's numerous smaller islands with low populations that are also very safe and beautiful like Carriacou and Anguilla. Do your homework. The islands are all different. And you will find much safer and more beautiful than St. Croix.

Thank you so much and thank you for subscribing to my channel

Enjoy !!

Eric Ty for ur kind words

You are very welcome my friend. I just want to forget about all the negative things going in our country and just enjoy the travel videos

Thank you for ur kind words . Well noted

If you come here to live, have some connections that you can socialize and network with. Or, have LOTS of money.

I’m in the same situation trying to get into Christiansted

I recently moved back to the states from St. Croix. I lived there for 10 years stretched over 23 years. There’s a saying there, “if you want to leave the island with a million dollars…bring 3 million.” It’s expensive to live on an island. No trucks or trains deliver there. Compare housing prices to DC, San Francisco and NYC . Unemployment is high as well as crime. Schools suck unless Private and that’ll cost ya, lots! Electricity is iffy and after storms, can be non-existent for months. Just saying, but, it is beautiful and magical.

A single person living by themselves probably needs minimum $65k/year to live semi-comfortably on a budget. Everything is expensive. @rosemarydolliver pretty well covered it in a nutshell. I got here before the housing prices got crazy, I probably couldn't afford to do it now, & budgeted for solar, so I got off of WAPA within a few months. A lot of folks only last a few months or maybe a year or two & return to the mainland with their life savings blown. You have to be fairly self-reliant, low maintenance, easy going & adaptable...type A personalities will blow a gasket here. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/paeoZa96tMqonoE.html

Christianbjørn is an older, and little known, Danish spelling!

@@CertifyC3 It already is Danish. “Christiansværn” translates to “Christian’s Defense”, referring to the Danish King Christian VI, a fitting name for a fort. “Bjørn” on the other hand means “bear”. They definitely never named a Caribbean fort ‘King Christian’s Bear’

@@ianbarnes1274 Yes, I understand, and totally agree! You're correct; hence the change! Get it? I did not make that up off the top of my head!

@@CertifyC3 Can you send me in the direction of where I can read more about this?

@@ianbarnes1274 Although I can't help much, I am replying out of respect for your interest in a credible reference. Consider that in the early 1700s, the name Christiansværn was, and is, specifically related to the fort in Christiansted, St. Croix and the name was concocted to honor the king. And, yes, Christianbjørn has "bear" as its concatenation and not "defense as in Christiansværn. There is no interest, or power, in making the direct association clear to modern users of the Internet. We are talking 300 years ago. A person would need access to physical archives to connect the family name bjørn to værn. The term "bear" has been associated with "defense" for many hundreds of years. There is a lot of HIDDEN knowledge that is, of course intentionally, not intended for the general public. It would require a scholar of Danish history to provide factual evidence. I am just an ordinary person, well-read, who happens to understand how supremacists create their own narratives and hide, obliterate, and obscure facts... That FACT is WELL documented! Further, most facts can not be read about; it requires a spiritual intelligence to connect the visible dots.

So you want the United States to withdraw all welfare, housing subsidies, food stamp money and all other financial support? And you want tourists and all non local property owners to disappear too? Cool. The USVI's have never been anything but a burden to the US. But if it does withdraw, tourists stop coming and all the homeowners leave St. Croix will starve. Furthermore, it's not a nation, never was and never will be. It's too small. Even if it was combined with St. Thomas and St. John. They're just a bunch of small unconnected towns in the middle of the ocean. Residents would be living like Arawaks in loin cloths.
