Should I Move to Grenada?

In this video I explore my personal pros and cons to moving to Grenada? If you are considering moving to this country for school, retirement or even an extended vacation here are some considerations you would want to know before hand. I share the best aspects of living here and the challenges that comes with it as well. This is coming from the perspective of an expat and not someone local to the Caribbean. If you have any questions about my experience please comment below.

You can't beat grenada for beauty and safety !! A bit expensive but you are paying for safety .

Very good video. Just one point on the food, yes we import a lot of food but we also farm a lot and have a variety of fruits, ground provisions (carbs) and vegetables in abundance. We don’t import those unless it’s something not grown here that foreigners like such as apples . Visit the local farmers market on Fridays and Saturdays.

[@TabTravels]

Thank you! I try and buy from farmers whenever I can every Sunday for sure

[@frandaron]

@@TabTravels Super! Continue and enjoy and who knows since we're a small island I might just run into you vlogging one day

[@mikeyjames]

True. I think it’s more expensive if you live in the city. If you live on the countryside of the island most people just grow their own food and it’s not uncommon for people to have community cookouts or share produce with people living around them.

@@mikeyjames I love that thanks for your comment

[@meribefree]

@@TabTravelswhere do you find farmers on Sundays? I might need a hookup.

[@melinasimonpietri1160]

Very informative! I don’t mind the weather so much, it can get quite hot but that just means you can go to the beach most of the year :)

[@TabTravels]

That's true and another perk to living in Grenada

[@user-mq8xd7he8s]

The most beautiful island on earth

[@antheasmith5165]

No don't lie!

[@OutDehFamily]

We considered doin a snowbird type of thing when we retire with Grenada as the winter home. Nice video, just subscribed

[@TabTravels]

I have considered the same thing!

[@user-mq8xd7he8s]

Food and housing are really expensive there

[@hotfootrabbit]

Excellent video. Informative and well made too. I'm from Grenada so I know all this already but I love content like this.

[@TabTravels]

Thank you for your feedback, Grenada is amazing!

[@TWC-MAD]

Thanks for sharing.

[@TabTravels]

You bet

[@jeancook5460]

As far as the weather sounds a lot like living in Tallahassee Florida 😂😂😅😅

[@robertscranton8293]

The answer is YES... Real Estate is cheap there now that the hurricane has destroyed most of the island. Hey.. get a tent from North Face and a latte cup from Starbucks. It'll all work out.. RIGHT??

[@Ahmedzia1993]

Informative video. Share about its immigration as well.

[@TabTravels]

Thanks Ahmedzia! Good suggestion for a future video

[@dianacharles-ki3sc]

No, I want my country all to myself.🤣

[@TabTravels]

It is a beautiful country, perk #1

[@lesterscott471]

The US is much hotter than Grenada in the summer.

[@TabTravels]

Parts of the US can get hotter but for me personally it feels hotter in Grenada I think because of the humidity 🥵

[@michaelnoll1995]

You @@TabTravels

[@michaelnoll1995]

You should try south Florida if you want to feel heat and humidity!

[@TabTravels]

@@michaelnoll1995 I have lived in South Florida as well, Grenada feels more humid for sure but similar climates and a good comparison

[@meribefree]

Hi Tab, what about housing? A pro or con for affordability? Can you say also what makes it an affordable place to live?

[@TabTravels]

Sure I have more details about housing costs in my Grenada budgeting video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/boXFY41rjb12jNEsi=kLRFBFl_PN6gdTd9. I outline where I lived and how much it costs there and in the surrounding neighborhoods.

[@yussufhassan5265]

I want to visit but who lives there so we communicate to have more information from grenada

[@thepassportlife]

To get more information you should contact the chamber of commerce in Grenada.

Grenada looks lovely, I must take a trip.

Saying Grenada is in the middle of the Caribbean is like saying New York City is in the middle of the USA!!!!!

[@TabTravels]

Fair point

[@jamienorthrup761]

Hello TabTravels! We love your videos. If a white Christian family from the USA wants to move down there, is it possible to find jobs, build businesses, buy land, build farms? Are there any problems with Racism?

[@TabTravels]

Hello and thank you for the positive feedback! Church and religious organizations are at the heart of Grenadian culture I think this island could be a good fit for your family! I am not sure about buying land but I do know that it is possible as there are residents of Grenada that own holiday homes and return here seasonally. I suspect starting a business would be possible as well if you can go through the official channels to establish it with the government. I met restaurant owners that were from the states/UK and were able to operate within the island. As far as jobs, I suspect that would be more challenging because it is difficult for local Grenadians to find official employment, the hourly wage in Grenada is also a lot lower than what you would expect coming from the US. I would recommend finding a remote US job for income while in Grenada- some family members of SGU students were able to do this to support their students on island.
