Thinking about a Blaxit to Grenada, West Indies? In this vlog, the Exodus Collective's Zoe Smith shares her thoughts on why life on the Caribbean's Spice Isle is just so sweet.
Fellow Grenadians, let me know in the comments why our tri-island state is a great place to live! (I feel I've done the negatives to death in the last few videos, lol).

I was born in Grenada and moved to Canada (20 years now) when I was going into my teenage years. I miss it soo much. I miss the quiet Sundays, I miss the spontaneous trips to the beach, my grandparent's land was filled with fruits and vegetables, I miss random community cricket games on Sunday evenings in the field, I miss sitting out on the verandah at night, under the bright moonlight talking and telling stories with my grandparents and the rest of the family, I miss watch the rain fall, And much more. Funny enough I didn't know what poor was until I came to Canada and it was defined for me. I didn't know what racism was until I came to Canada. I wouldn't change my childhood in Grenada for anything.

If your parents are Grenadian born, the children can be citizens. It's probably an easier process as children, than as adults. I would think Britain would allow dual citizenship

Hi Zoe, a very good vlog. All what you've said is true. Its just a different culture. The things you notice straight away, our bus drivers dropping kids to school, saying morning,afternoon,(without people looking at you weird 😀), getting a lift sometimes if its raining walking to Grenville. Things like that. Also I only found out myself recently that Malcom X's mum was from La Digue. I remember there was a programme a few years back where young people wanted to start a business in the Caribbean, where some were successful and some were not. One main reason was going on holiday is not the same thing as working there, unless you are willing to adapt. If I am in a queue at the bank in Grenada, I am aware of that but I'm so chilled that it does not bother me, compared to the bank in the UK. A question I would like to ask you which may sound silly, is a couple of days after arriving in Grenada, did you consciously started to walk slow, or kept your normal pace as if you were in the UK. Looking forward to more videos.
@ExodusCollective
@ExodusCollective 2 жыл бұрын
Andrew, yes to all of the above! It's the small things that make such a difference to the quality of life. My kids have only finally stopped asking if I know a person when I say hello or good morning. It's nice for them to grow up somewhere that friendliness/politeness is the norm. And yes, for sure you notice the shift to the different speed. In fact for me, when I found myself unwilling to speed back up on my return trips to the UK was when it became clear that I had to move to Grenada on a permanent basis 😁. Thanks for your insightful comments and support as always 🙏🏾. Enjoy the holiday weekend!

Go for the Jamaican passport - you can apply online via PICA. Also join the Black Expats and Repats in Jamaica FB group - it's the perfect place to connect with like minded folks who've made their move to the island. And if it's safety you're looking for, Grenada is a pretty good option 😉

Is it possible to become a resident there, if I only have Social Security disability insurance as a small savings. I live on the island of Saint Croix It is so influenced by the OK the test is this there’s 1970s shanties are worth $1000 a month, maybe with one bedroom more than likely. Lol This holiday has changed here on the island, and I’m in need of a change and a new lifestyle that’s more peaceful. The island is still beautiful here on St Croix, but the entitlement of everybody has changed its diversity Looking for a new home to settle in was considering Grenada and ironically also considering Thailand I don’t know what the best fit will be. But I’m looking for Simplicity and affordability. The only thing that triggers me is the fact that I haven’t heard word of affordability with Food.
