This is the most honest video of any country I have ever heard. Thank you. God bless you.

I first visited the Bahamas when I was 11 and fell in love with the people. I said I'd live there one day. I'm 50 now and still have the same dream.

[@tinahansenxo]

Go live your dream 💪😊

[@callieduval3000]

[@Rotterdam-hoogvliet]

Dont dream your live go living your dream now

[@russcarr3406]

Don’t believe the hype. If you’re white be wary. The capital is dangerous. Not as safe as when I was a kid there. Prices were high even in the 90s. Bad jobs that don’t pay well. If I was rich. I would move back. Probably visit Ancestors Origins of Red Bay. Bahamians are different from everyone. Bad influence from Abroad. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Live your dream just find a bahamian friend pick up a construction or carpentry skill and do jobs to make a living

[@timmorris2624]

Love the honesty girl...not what the tourism office would like but real people live real lives. I have been researching the outer Islands for a few years now and by far you were the most informative of anything seen or read. My dream is Long Island, off grid (solar) and growing my own food. I have no illusions as to how hard this would be but some things are worth everything! Blessings from Canada!!!

[@ThisBahamianGyal]

Hi Tim! Thank you so much for watching my video. I appreciate your kind words. Long Island is one of the few islands 🏝 I haven't visited. You can definitely live off the grid there. Yeah, man...I have to be honest. No sense in lying. Much love!

[@ThisBahamianGyal]

Awwww...make sure take a trip as soon as you can. I know the feeling. Despite its faults,, The Bahamas is a special place. There's no place like home.

[@edwiser3547]

Hi Rogan, Excellent video. I look forward to more. I love Bahamas. I spent two decades running charters from Florida to Bahamas and never got tired of it or the people. Unfortunately, there is a lot of government corruption, mostly in Nassau, largely a result of the PLP and Pindling's legacy. OMG, he was a corrupt, greedy sob. I have found most Bahamians to be honest, upright, kind, generous people. Americans could learn a lot about courtesy and kindness from my friends in the family islands. I have a typical story for you. Twelve years ago I was in Bimini as captain on a Hatteras motor yacht. Late one afternoon I took a bike ride up to Baileytown. I saw a guy cleaning lobster under a tree and struck up a conversation with him. Turns out he was the cousin of Ossie Brown, who I knew from years earlier at the Compleat Angler. I asked him how much for lobster and he offered to sell me a dozen. I said I left my wallet on the boat and he said "No problem. Take the tails and come back later when you can." Now I did not know this guy and he did not know me or where I was staying but he gave me a dozen tails and I hopped on my bike and rode away. As I did so I was thinking about how friendly and trusting he was. I knew this was someone I wanted to do business with. I got back to the boat, got my wallet, and rode back to pay him immediately. I think he was a little surprised to see me return. This was the beginning of a great friendship that endures today and is very typical of my experience in Bahamas.

[@ThisBahamianGyal]

Hello Ed! Thank you so much for the kind sentiments. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Lots more great content on the way. The story you shared was so wonderful. I totally believe that man allowed you to leave and return with the money. He reminds me of so many Family Islanders. Bahamians are some of the most amazing people on the planet. We have our bad ways when we're ready. But, we are special people. No one on the planet like my people. I am so happy you found my channel. Consider subscribing!

[@ThisBahamianGyal]

Hahaha...say no more. I know JUST where you are going. Hahaha...You are going to love it there. Fantastic beaches and many people haven't caught on to how gorgeous that island is. You will make the lions and tigers 🐅 jealous. Haha.

I've been going to the Bahamas for many, many years and have been to Nassau, Exuma and Cat Island and as far as swimming beaches, paddle boarding you can't beat Cat Island. Exuma beaches were pretty but the currant was a bit stronger and difficult getting in and out of where as Cat island was pure paradise......they seem to have more "coves" that make the water calmer.

[@ThisBahamianGyal]

Hi Linda....Cat Island does have spectacular beaches, too. You are right. First time I went there it took my breath away. I suppose it all comes down to preference. Cat Islanders are super friendly, too. At least they were to me. LOL. Thanks a million for watching!

Hello. Thanks for watching. How so?

@@ThisBahamianGyal when I was walking through the beach I saw some men keep bothering couple women if they can go to their house and they kept saying no but they kept asking, also I saw them try to give alcohol to underage kids.

The best places to eat in Nassau are the food shacks at Potter's Cay. Most visitors never get there. This is where the locals go to party on Friday night. Try the tropical conch salad. It is my favorite. Also, check out things up on the Hill, in the vicinity of the rum distillery and the art center. There is also a history museum in the area and some historic hotels and B and Bs.

[@ThisBahamianGyal]

I love the tropical salad, but the traditional remains my favourite. LOL. I actually don't like eating at Potter's Cay Dock. I find that place to be atrocious as far as cleanliness is concerned. I would never direct anyone there. I have heard family members say they love the food, but I am too much of a clean freak to eat there. But, to each his own. I do agree with the area near the rum distillery. You are on point! That area is so slept on. People just don't know how amazing that area is.

[@edwiser3547]

@@ThisBahamianGyal You are soooo right about the cleanliness...or more accurately the filth. It is a dirty place. But I have had some good food and fellowship there. I like to stroll along the seawall and talk to the crews on the mailboats. I sure wish the government would clean the place up though.

[@ThisBahamianGyal]

@@edwiser3547 Me, too! It's such an amazing spot. But, the vendors bear some responsibility, too. I also wish the government would get serious about enforcement.

I have been to New Providence and several of the family islands on work assignments over the last three decades and you are on point with your observations. Found it strange you did not find a way to mention "over the Hill" especially with respect to the cuisine. I am currently working (virtually for now) on Climate Change adaptations and mitigations in the Bahamas ....so the hurricane issue is close to my heart as a fellow Caribbean National

[@ThisBahamianGyal]

Hello Steve!! Thank you for watching and commenting. We need more people who have an interest in climate change. Good for you!

Watching from Barbados and surprised to find that 90% of this stuff applies to us here as well, lol. Especially what was said about government agencies and time!

[@ThisBahamianGyal]

Hi Keilan! Thanks for watching. Listen....I don't know why our Caribbean countries can't get it together. Lol. But, someone from Greece said the same thing applies to Greece as well. Lol.
