😱 I would live like a queen there! You can't really survive off 700$ in the U.S. Even with a job & govt assistance. Rent in New York is 1k and up

[@angrybritches1854]

@@Artificial_Intelligence00 Just know that if you move there 99% of people cannot obtain a job there, and even if you could, most jobs don't pay $1000 a month. Degreed jobs as well. Don't let that deter you though.

Hi do you mind sharing information about safety in Cape Verde especially for women. Might it be possible to do some apartment / housing tours (luxury/high end and mid point) so that people can see what they have to offer and maybe a grocery store tour or shopping in Cape Verde at the market for everyday items? Thanks!

[@frogtraveller]

Hey, I know it's kinda late - it is very safe. I have been here for 9 months, one in the capital, the rest in Tarrafal. I regularly walk after dark.

Hello UV, is it possible to create time and do nice house tours in Santiago Cabo Verde? I know it is time draining though😅but it could be some cool content too you know??😇

Weird question...I was just in Praia and fell in love with CV and decided I want to buy a place there by next year...I have one contact with a conceptual apartment building so far near Place Central but I been dying to find a connection for real estate since there's really nothing dependable online....do you know of any options or even options...weird question I know

[@frogtraveller]

Hey! As I understand it's mostly done with people you know - nothing online. I live in Tarrafal, Santiago and know people to rent, buy land, buy houses/flats.

[@jj007104]

@@frogtraveller Yeah that's what I figured. It seems you have to know people. When I was in Praia I saw a lot of developments that were up and advertising but when I got back to the states and tried to go to their websites they were mostly offline. I guess I'll need to go back and actually speak with people. What a beautiful place and beautiful people...Thank you for responding

I need a room in Praia for an internship but the prices for a Portuguese still seem too high. Can I find a cheap accommodation for 4 months? I can’t afford to much but my internship is the capital so I need to be in the center

[@daisyobi4651]

Please are there international schools there? Is it also easy to get a teaching job?

[@Uvys_Vlog]

Hello. Yes, there are Portuguese, French and English schools. When you come you can find them. Although, I'm not aware of what the process is like to get a teaching job. But I did hear that one has to have their resident card in order to teach in a school. Hope this helps.

[@badasslifestylee]

Thank you so much for the info, i am surprised how well connected Cape Verde is to the world and the nice weather so I want to visit you guys soon, question, how to move between islands? Is there ferries?

Could you do a section on how much it would cost to buy a car in cape verde? possibly moving out in end of year and would need to buy a vehicle

[@Essenceof.]

Hey Uv, thank you so much for making this video. I believe in 2023 , God is going to bless me with provisions to relocate and I have been considering various places. I think Cape Verde looks like a great place, beautiful scenery and with what you are sharing...the cost of living is fairly affordable. I hear you work remotely? I am also looking for opportunities to be able to work from home , remotely. If you know of any job opportunities to work remotely and earn in dollars...I would greatly appreciate your guidance in the right direction. Thank you I look forward to hearing from you.

Please give a USD comparison of your cost breakdown. Remember that you're addressing people who've never been to Cape Verde and so they will need a exchange rate comparison. 🙄🙄🙄

Great job. Thanks for the information. How many expatriates live in Praia?

[@Uvys_Vlog]

Hello. Thanks for watching my video 😊. There are quite a lot of expats here. But I don't know any personally.

[@gibau1000]

@@Uvys_Vlog in the island of Sal, there are 10 times more tourists than natives. In Fogo most natives already left. In Brava most people are foreigners. In Boavista and Maio and Santo Antão the same thing. And, from São Nicolau I've heard things to worry about. Cape Verde is being sold to foreigners piece by piece or parcel by parcel and the way things are going, capeverdeans wil end up being a minority in their own country. I have a theory but I won't share it here. Not now anyway. All I can say is that to exclusively depend on tourists for a living is not necessarily the best solution. And, those NATO ships constantly in capeverdean waters polluting the environment should be of great concern to not just the capeverdean patriots but to the whole Africa and perhaps the whole world. I'm not crazy about tourists but I definitely don't want to see foreign militaries lurking around Cabo-Verde. The capeverdean diaspora must be given incentives to return and the natives who haven't left must be given incentives to remain or stay. Viva Cabo-Verde livre e independente! Viva a pátria Caboverdiana!
