    I am Trini and I lived solely in Barbados for 43 years, I just moved back to Trinidad to set up another house in my homeland, so I can live 6 months in each island in my ending years. I seem not to be able to let go of either.

    Oh, I'm SO glad your channel dropped into my feed! What a lovely video, and I can't wait to watch more ...🥰
    I'm currently living just north of San Francisco. I've been here 31 years now, and I'm so ready for my next adventure!
    I'm really missing experiencing the four seasons (my big sweater collection does, too!), so my plan is to move to New England. I've never lived on the East Coast...
    Hearing you say the people at the fish market were all in back cleaning fish made me so happy. There's nothing better than fresh, local fish...!
    I feel a wonderful, spiritual migration blossoming around the world; people are desiring, and planning, and *believing* they CAN live the life of their dreams
    Videos like yours give people hope, information and inspiration to make their own new-home, new-place dreams come true...

    I hope you enjoy every moment living in such a beautiful paradise. I hope I can visit some day. Just one thing though, this was my first time watching your videos and unfortunately, it was very difficult to focus on anything in this video as you panned to so many different things in such little time. It is always better to keep the focus on one thing/scene for a reasonable amount of time rather than the camera zigzagging all over the place cutting from scene to scene, up, down, left and right in seconds. I had to stop for a moment to check if I was watching in faster than normal playback speed, but it was actually on normal, but very fast. It was clear that you had so many wonderful things you wanted to show, but unfortunately there was so much that was missed because you barely spent any time showing one scene.

      From U.K. it was because I shipped a lot 40ft container and I had the full service. But it all depends on what you are shipping. It’s also worth reviewing 3 or 4 companies and checking reviews. Get quotes and remember you may want to take out insurance which they can advise or you can get your own Remember you may not require a massive container and you may just need a few barrels!
