Hi Riselle ❤️I love the Island both Dutch and French side! My family and I always have a great time eating and supporting local business .We like the Lay Back Beach Bar in Phillipburg and the Driftwood at Maho Beah. So many places with great food! Been to the island 5 times and it’s hard to visit another island. The people are very warm and friendly🥰Looking forward 2023 🎉Your videos are very enlightening!

[@TheTravelingIslandGirl]

Hi Riselle, what a wonderful video. Thanks a lot. What prerequisites we need now in October/November to come to St. Marten?

[@TheTravelingIslandGirl]

Thanks Cornelia. You can find the latest requirements here: www.stmaartenehas.com

[@narrymohansingh5149]

Hey, love the videos great info of the island my family and I are visiting in June 2023 looking forward to eating at your restaurant!. Questions what document's I need to rent a car and price for a day?.

[@TheTravelingIslandGirl]

Driver’s license, credit card. Price ranges, depending on car. Starting from about $40 per day. Enjoy the island

[@HearturMind]

Where is that mini golf course? We are here and we cant find it!

[@dovygoodguy1296]

What is the difference between living in Sint Maarten and in Aruba or Curacao? How flat are the streets and how much of a risk is there from hurricanes? What percentage of foreigners live full time compared to winter snowbirds?

[@TheAbxgirl]

I am definitely returning to SXM in 2023. I would like to know the salon Miguel Alexander can be found. Thanks

[@TheTravelingIslandGirl]

That’s great. You can find Miguel at the Atrium Resort.

[@rl8992]

Do you have a video on shopping?

[@TheTravelingIslandGirl]

Not yet but will add to list. Are you talking grocery shopping or fun stuff shopping?

[@rl8992]

@@TheTravelingIslandGirl thanks both would be good but food is priority, also cell phone plans as well, we are coming to the island for the month of Feb.

[@TheTravelingIslandGirl]

@@rl8992 working on grocery video and more. Stat tuned.

[@TheAbxgirl]

I have a question have you posted a blog about supermarkets since many of us may use air bnb or have hotel suites with Kitchens? The Carrefour chain looks good😊

[@TheTravelingIslandGirl]

I have mentioned supermarkets in several videos but will be doing one focused on supermarkets soon.

[@danielburns7519]

St Maarten is the best

[@TheTravelingIslandGirl]

Yes. It. Is. 😄

[@Lindasfrontrow]

Hello 👋🏾 did hurricane 🌀 Fiona hit the island 🏝?

[@TheTravelingIslandGirl]

It wasn’t a hurricane yet when it hit us. So all we had was lots of rain and a little bit of wind.

[@Lindasfrontrow]

@@TheTravelingIslandGirl Outstanding

[@ascott6804]
