I enjoyed your video so much! I will be going to PR this spring for the first time. I am so excited. Your video was very informative and entertaining. The best part is how acknowledged and were so kind to the cats and horses and how friendly you were towards them. 😊 You and your BF make a nice couple too.

Welcome to Puerto Rico! You must visit Guavate, an area of the town called Cayey. It is the capitol of typical Puerto Rican cuisine. So delicious!

Hi Julia, I’m so glad you came to Puerto Rico. Sorry, you had an unpleasant experience with your Airbnb. You really need to visit Aguadilla you will love it just make sure the Airbnb has a generator and a water cistern.

I felt bad for the horses in the stalls... ..they looked neglected... maybe there is a story behind it. But you did a good job explaining everything and I loved all your descriptions.

Great video Julia! I’ve been to Puerto Rico a couple of times, both before the hurricane devastated it a few years ago. Sad to hear of their depleted infrastructure but glad you called it out because it is an issue that foreigners should learn about

How funny this video! The part where you taste the frituras with the sea as the background is beautiful and ingenious! Thanks for this honest and entertaining video, Sweets. You did the right thing to move out immediately from that Airbnb. It’s good that if people come here, they know what they are getting in. Hope you both enjoy our island! Is it alright Babe?

This was a very expensive trip for one island 🏝 tour. I just went on a seven Island carribean cruise 🛳 for 1800, including round flight to the Barbados from JFK to board the ship .we tour the islands all day.PR was not appealing to me with that water problem. Nice watching your vlog.

Sorry to mix things, but here it goes. This is a message for our politicians and the government. They are the responsible people to maintain apropriate services, not only to the people of PR, but to every person who visits our island. Our island is so beautiful and the people are very nice and friendly. Not only for it’s beauty, but the history behind it. But, we have the worst politicians in earth.

Can you please make a reaction video to The lady of heaven movie Trailer? I know this isn’t your type of content but sometimes unfamiliar topics lead to change and this change can have a positive outcome. The movie was shown in AMC Theaters in the US and it had a very long and successful run there. The next move most likely is for it to be shown in Australia on the 28th of April and in Canada the day that follows and as soon as the theater deals are done it will have a worldwide release via movie streaming platforms and It’s fine, your reaction video doesn’t have to be professionally made. Your immediate action to this cause would be greatly appreciated. ❤️😃

Half of this video is complaining about water

@thejuliacarter 2 жыл бұрын

Well unfortunately Lewis, that was a major part of my trip and something that contributed to going over my budget. I learned from the locals that water interruptions are also very common in PR since the hurricane. So while it may have come off as complaining, it was a real reaction to something I was not accustomed to nor prepared for. So I hope at the very least, it prepares others to either possibly expect the same or to prepare better than I did and book an airbnb with the proper water supply or a hotel. Thanks!
