Our paths are so remarkably similar yet vastly different. I was raised in Dorado, Puerto Rico, where I completed my undergraduate and medical degrees, and moved on for an additional year of fellowship year at New York University, and this is where I met the love of my life, also from Salinas, Puerto Rico. Call it serendipity if you will. I have no idea how we landed on your channel or whether our children were watching following you while we were working, but you caught our attention. We wish you happinness and prosperity as you grow your family in Puerto Rico. May the good Lord keep you safe and thriving.
So great to see all the beautiful plants and greens growing. Where did she find the collard greens. I love them put don’t how to find them. How long does she let them grow before cutting them and what type of collard greens did she buy? Amazing footage. Life yes here sometimes is challenging I live in NYC /NJ for 60 and I miss it at times but the isla is beautiful the weather is great and the good out weighs the life differences. Thank you for sharing.
I can totally relate to the guy who is counselor/teacher. I am actually from Utuado so when he mentioned Utuado, that was pretty awesome. Seems like even though he is making less over there he can still have a good quality of life, such as owning a home, friends family, and good healthy food. My uncle thought in Utuado as a teacher and has a big beautiful house on his income.
Blessings and a speedy recovery! My husband and I have been following your story because ours is somewhat similar / we bought a land in PR almost at the same time you guys did, we moved from the DFW to Cidra, PR on Christmas. We are building our house and costs are outrageous but we are loving the country and how God blesses us with the land He provided to us. I pray He guides you guys, open the doors needed and make the path for what He has in place for you and your beautiful family! Blessings!! Éxito y bendiciones!!
I love all of your videos. We have a condo in Isla Verde, my dream/desire/goal is to have my own land and live off the grid, but as a single woman its been tough. Your last statement at the end of your video about having community hit home for me. I don’t have much family in PR, so would really need friends which has been very very very very difficult. After 8 years of going back and forth i still only know my 2 senior neighbors. I’ve volunteered on farms done group activities etc but no real networks. The other difficult part is find suitable land from legit realtors. Keep sharing, its all so important for me and helping me move closer to my purpose.
I’m moving back to 🇵🇷 in one week. My husband and I will be working in our farm in Yabucoa. I have a Master in Education and 15 years experience in vocational rehabilitation counseling. Looking for a telework part time opportunity 💻 Congratulations and many blessings to all of you who have been brave and have decided to move back and contribute to our beautiful island 🏝Please keep us in your prayers 🙏🏼
Welcome back! My husband and I moved back last November & December. There are many things we are re-adjusting to but we have no regrets of being back home to our beautiful island!! I wish you find the job you are looking for! Blessings!!
It’s wonderful to see that not everyone is super rich on the Act 20/60 tax programs. Some people want to live a simple life. I hope they can save the island from destruction and over development.
I was all about moving back to PR until I went on vacation last summer. I didn’t care for the loud radios and all the run down houses. I’d probably have to wait till my son goes to college 10 years from now to reconsider since he’s in a good school system and I don’t want to screw that up.
Very nice video and very informative. My wife, son and I are visiting for our second time here in Beautiful Puerto Rico. Would love to meet you and your family and see about joining you for worship this month if possible. I am not sure how to contact you. God Bless what an inspiration you are.
Que disfruten de la naturaleza al máximo el mundo a cambiado tanto que hay que valorar momentos como esos de verdad que si, espero que sigan haciendo raíces culturales y que si su corazón está en PR hagan de la isla y la montaña su hogar, Salud, paz y bendiciónes para su familia
Beautiful land they all have; they are blessed. Say hi to all of them for me, also, that’s awesome that the girls opened a YT channel- super awesome!! I don’t blame Alia from being traumatized- I would be too😱
You guys made us laugh alot. Thank you for the awesome update. Jimmy tell all my ANTILLIAN friends Hola next time you guys see them. Love all the detail and the laughter on the high protein details of the fruits. Also the solar details with Aimee and her husband. Pana also if you roast it in bon fire first then peel cut slice it is good some salt. Funny how Aimee still throws the kisses to her love the same with the same love & intensity to her 💖 as when they were dating. The compost with all the helpers in it was to die for but using all the resources even a fridge tires recycle 👏👏. Nice to see your family and all of these friends all the blessings. Awesome thank you 🇵🇷 is amazing God has blessed that 🏝
Thanks for bringing me some childhood memories...organic food..I told you and will again..kids grow up so fast. I remember when I watched your first vlog..your kids looked so young..now look at your oldest turning into a young lady...my oldest (35)...just made me a grandad..she is two..my youngest graduates this June..planning on leaving for college...I be all alone..but with God helps..I will start a new phase of my life...cannot afford my dream of moving back to my home land (Puerto Rico 🇵🇷)..so o did the next best thing...bought land in Guatemala building house in the summer...If God permits....que dios me los bendigan a todos uds...wishing you all my most sincere blessings. GOD BLESS
Tremenda bendicion !!! Nada mejor que volver a la Isla , Con Dios por medio Yo estare mudandome tambien para la Isla con mi familia a principio de 2022 despues de 11 ańos viviendo en US …. We really want to be back next to our family and friends, No hace mucho me preguntaron que extrañaba de la isla Y CREO QUE EXTRAÑO TODO
Hey guy that was very nice. Having moral support always comes in handy. The twins 👯♀️ had a great time they are growing fast and the oldest is getting very pretty. Good info take care my blessings your friend from Gurabo
Hola. Your girls are growing so fast. They are adorable. God bless you guys. Take advantage of the Bilingual Teachers so your girls can start speaking Spanish. Maybe is a great opportunity and a blessing. Great video. Thank you 😊
Hello, I hope you are well. I was wondering if you have an introductory video of who you are, why you went to live on the island, what do you do, are you Americans or Puerto Ricans who returned... G
Hello Friend, I wanted to know how expensive it is to build in PR? We have land over there but we aren't sure how expensive to build, permits, and all other costs related to building. We are planning the move from Texas as well. Appreciate any info/advice you could give us!
Thx for sharing. Prices have doubled due to inflation. You also have to context your are on permits. Our situation has been different since our builder is retired family friend who lives near our land. Feel free to email me for more information jelaark@gmail.com
For me I believe teachers should get paid more than anybody in this world because without them you cannot become anything you cannot be a police officer actors lawyers firefighters even teachers themselves let's have more respect for the teachers and pay them more.
Bugo:Que horrible nos vemos nosotros los boricuas hablando ingles,no hay nada como hablar en español,aunque claro también hablar en inglés con los que no saben español como a mi vecino que habla español y yo lo ayudo a que lo aprenda.Bugo.
I just want to say Puerto Rico is no worse than any estate outside of Puerto Rico United States or any part of the world is bad every where and compared to Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico is much better that's my own opinion I wach news everyday from different part of the world and if you compare Puerto Rico is a Haven and I say that because I have neither seen nor heard in the history of Puerto a shooting I'm a school or mall or church and I see that in all must every where in the word is bad like everywhere But. no is the worst
I went to Florida to visit for 2 weeks and that state is full of Puerto people..why do you all have to come to my country for ? you all have your own country to live in ..
Just a little insight, Kenneth. YOUR COUNTRY IS OUR COUNTRY TOO! American citizens by virtue of Puerto Rico being a commonwealth of the USA. Look up Spanish American War of 1898.
Howdy y’all..!!! Kudos to your positive attitude 🥰 enjoy your “slow mode “ the landscapes are just amazing.. tranquillity and nature connection is just priceless ❤️ que Dios los bendiga 🙏
Homegirl needs to relax. You got this! Jeep in the river, no sweat. Lol. I really enjoyed your 2 Tiaño Princesas piant themselves. God's Blessings. Hi from the means streets of El Barrio de Spanish Harlem, NYC.❤👍😃🙏💃✈🚖🗽

Thank you. I really appreciate these videos. My family is moving next year….
Pretty good, Florida salute People from PR 🇵🇷🎯💯

Mucha alegría cuando alguien regresa de nuevo a la isla. Esos son los que aportan a la economía, más cuando consumen local.

Hello Friend,
I wanted to know how expensive it is to build in PR? We have land over there but we aren't sure how expensive to build, permits, and all other costs related to building. We are planning the move from Texas as well. Appreciate any info/advice you could give us!

For me I believe teachers should get paid more than anybody in this world because without them you cannot become anything you cannot be a police officer actors lawyers firefighters even teachers themselves let's have more respect for the teachers and pay them more.
I am considering vlogging casually in PR. What editing software do you prefer? And camera recommendations? Thank youuuuuuuu
I use my phone (Samsung) or my wife's iPhone. I use final cut pro. Email me if you like jelaark@gmail.com
Remember tainos are the real native.
Y ahora a tirar peos! Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Eson son pana de pepitas, lol if you eat too many you're going to be throwing out gases like crazy.🤣🤣🤣 I know from experiencia
It’s the only way to live...
