Hi Diana! Puerto Rico looks beautiful!! I can’t wait to see more videos from you ❤
Hello Josefina from Chile 🤍🤍
Love you ♥️ Made me wanna visit Puerto Rico 🤗👏🏿👏🏿
Love you too 😍😍😍😍😍
Thanks. Travelling in the way you do, in that you want to broaden your perspectives, and experience how other people live, expands one as a person. People who just want to go some place but want that place to be like the place they are familiar with miss that opportunity. What I found is that the American influence is so broad that it covers over other cultures and puts a "sameness" on what use to be diversity. That is the tourist market. To spend time in a place and explore it without that constrainting frame of wanting it to be familiar is the best way to expand one's own life.
Spot on, Dean! 😍😍
Another delightful and charming video for you. For some reason (just based on casual observation of your videos) you seem to be drawn to the Spanish speaking world... but it provides us the opportunity to check it out with you... total bonus! Cheers and adventure on!
You’re right Marcel, I’m very interested in Latin America and Spain and the relationships between these cultures. I’m generally very interested in the effects of colonialism
@@dianawanderlust I originally come from Malaysia... and the peninsular which was then Malaya was colonized by the Portuguese, Dutch and the British starting in the early 1500s mainly because of the spice trade.
@@dathang Yes, I’m aware of what happened in Malaysia, Indonesia and Philippines too. I remember I met someone from Philippines in Georgia when I was 15. She told me a little bit about the history of Philippines and I was seriously shocked. Until then I never realized how far the effects of colonialism can go
@@dianawanderlust the fact that we at present complain about European colonialism is a quirk of fate. If a hundred years earlier (in the early 1400s) Zheng He's voyages (there were 7 in all) had not stopped... we might now be complaining about Chinese colonialism... well, at least in that part of the world.
Great video Diana, looking forward to following you during your Puerto Rico adventure 👍
The comparison between Puerto Rico and Georgia was really interesting. Coming from the center of an empire I never really thought about how all countries on the periphery have a similar experience, no matter how different their imperial neighbors might seem on the surface. I wonder how close the parallels are. There is probably a Georgian community in Moscow equivalent to our Nuyoricans?
Agree! But once she said it, it makes such sense! Love hearing her perspective on this!
Paco, probably parallels are not that far from each other. Hopefully I can tell you a little bit more about this in the next videos
Enjoy Diana. Love this video
Great video , love old San Juan, hope you get to tour the east side of the island
Love your videos! Alaska and Washington state also have rainforests (I’ve been to the one in Washington, gorgeous!)
Wow, really? When I googled El Yunque it says “The only tropical rainforest managed by the U.S.“ and locals take a huge pride of that fact as well.
Washington nor Oregon are tropical… 👍😊
@@arod1766 Ah, true… they have rainforests but not tropical ones. Good catch!
Omg I remember to think I found you on TH-cam first this is such a cute dorky video hehe didn’t realize you lived in nyc if you do I’d totally love to meet up someday!!
Luckily I get to travel a lot so I’m not staying in NYC much 👌
Wish i got a chance to chat with you when you were here, i have been facinated by Georgia
I have a very particular question 😅 when you took a nap, there was a “snore” audio transition. Did YOU record the fake snore or did you find a random snoring sound? Apologies in advance for this question. Love you very much
I downloaded an audio hahaa :D Love you too!!!
love your channel, how do you edit your videos?
Final cut pro
Great video! I'll go check out your others on PR now since I'm planning to go in a few days. Is it relatively easy to find good vegetarian food there?
Hey Jacob! I would say it depends where you go, in San Juan it’s relatively easy. I am myself vegan and sometimes struggled with finding food but there’s always something to eat, at least some rice and beans or plantains 😂
I'm quite excited about mofongo, as long as I can find that I think I'll be fine😂
@@jacobmercer8435 you can find them in most of the places. Mofongo is amazing, I swear to god all I wanted to eat was mofongo 😂😂😂
I have no doubt I'd be the same. I saw mofongo on Wolters World but it seemed like it was typically served with pork or something, you've definitely raised my expectations for it😂
@@jacobmercer8435 most of the times they make mofongo right there on spot so make sure you always ask Mofongo sin carne 😂😂😂😂
Puelto Lico?
🖐
I think I am in love.
Wonderful cutie . Enjoy and be safe
The old city actually had more than 1 gate before they tore down part of the wall at the end of the 18 hundreds.
That’s not what the information dest said but maybe your right
@@dianawanderlust The gate you were at was the main gate that the Spanish dignitaries went through when they arrived from Spain.
Puerto Rico looks nice. I am following the war in Ukraine & have watched a few videos from Georgia. The locals are nice people but they All say how the prices of food, rental property etc are going up due too the influx of Russians. I guess it's the same in a lot of places! 🇬🇧
Take care and stay safe x
Thanks Steve ❤️
Hi Diana😘
I agree so much with you about Russians. Not only in Georgia and Ukraine, Venezuela and most countries where Russian Government had any contact they are hating them because of logical reasons.
How can we stand them as Russians can't stand each others.
Anyways nice to see you travelling again.
Be careful Dear, I wish you all the best and waiting your next video 😘
Thanks for watching always ❤
PS: I JUST SUSCRIBE TO YOUR CHANNEL
How dare you! 😂
Just kidding, welcome and happy watching 😍
@@dianawanderlust THANKS WELCOME !!!!
🇵🇷👊
유후 ~~ 👍🏻🤪💘💪
I’m very exciting like you! 😄😄
Puerto Rico doesn’t seem very crowded in your video… maybe because of the recent hurricane?
Yes, absolutely because of the hurricane
Wow!
You're originally from Georgia?
Yes!
I am very happy you have made light of the subject.One thing I can tell you is that my mother in law who rents a home in Isabella and I am talking about 3 bedroom 2 bathrooms beautiful and huge spacious home rents it for $290 monthly.You don’t see that in the U.S. and will never see cheap rent like that in the U.S. I am sure a lot of other Boricuas can relate to the very cheap rent.The gringos want to buy Puerto Rico and turn our Island into the U.S. were people will be forced to move or be homeless cause they won’t afford to rent.Sorry but gringos have ruined the U.S. a country were homelessness is a big problem and I will dare say is the only country where you see more homeless people than any other country because of greedy heartless gringos.
Hello! It's just a recommendation. When traveling you cannot take as the feeling or thinking of an entire town just because you see negative propaganda on the streets because normally that type of propaganda is from a minority. Therefore they tend to be more vocal than most in getting noticed. That happens in all countries. I bet you the treatment you received was with open arms.

The tax free law is a puertorican law. It encourages investment and job creation. The malcontents prefer to keep puerto rico in poverty.
Hey cutieee❤️😘😘😘😘😘, visit India 🇮🇳
Will do, one day ❤️❤️
სან ხუანი მოვძებნე. thumbnail სურათზევე მივხვდი, რომ ქართველი ხარ. წარმატებები.
ჰაჰა, გამომიჭირე 😀 დიდი მადლობა 🤍🤍🤍
@@dianawanderlust ისეთი კარგი კონტენტია სიამაყის გრძნობა გამიჩნდა. მადლობა.
@@prometheus5770 😍😍😍😍😍😍
