Thank you for showing up my lovely town. My family has deep roots in Rincón. Maria's Beach was named by surfers in the 60's after my grandfather's first wife. She ran a shack selling refreshments by the beach.

That is so cool! Rincon is lovely.

What benefits they are taking advantage of, if they have those benefits on the mainland? They contribute to the economy, what possibly you do not do. What are you doing here, other than showing how obnoxious you are? Who told you that they do not speak some Spanish if the video is in English?

[@felixgarcia9063]

I dont hear about the embracement of the islands culture. Do you hangout with puerto rican natives? they have extreme family values. The people of Puerto Rico are friendly and festive. I never see you guys hanging out or even interviewing simple friendly Puerto Rican people.

Taino...pronounced ta-ee-no. Love our Isla. ❤ Rincon is beautiful! The murals are incredible. It would be nice to know who those talented artists are. The concern of many Puerto Ricans of the island are outside businesses and the wealthy re-locating to the island mainly to take advantage of avoiding taxes and taking control! Hopefully our Island and it's people can remain where they are and continue to live how they so desire! 🇵🇷❤

[@rjameson3870]

What a mean-spirited post. What Jen does is a service to those who may want to know about a specific aspect of Puerto Rico and it's HER vlog and up to HER to choose the content. I applaud her for the time and effort that she meticulously puts into her videos, and it is appalling that ANYONE (especially a Puerto Rican) would find fault in how gracious she is with the content. Since YOU are so concerned with those issues, why don't YOU invest YOUR time and YOUR effort and post a video on the subject? Or write a letter or contact YOUR representatives and leaders of the appropriate agencies and ask THEM to provide you with that information. I'm also sure they would speak Spanish also. And btw, both SPANISH and ENGLISH are the official languages of Puerto Rico. Unlike the US where ENGLISH is the sole official language and yet tens of millions of people don't speak a lick of it, and you would be considered a bigot and your comments (that they should learn English or that it's wrong for them not to) would be universally criticized and likely censored by KZbin. I hope that you're not really that bitter of a person, and that you were just having a bad day. Or do you go around on KZbin trolling every video that says ANYTHING good about Puerto Rico in English by a visitor or non-native resident? Shame on you. 🤏👎
