Pros and Cons of Living in Puerto Rico as Digital Nomads. We delve in to what we consider to be the biggest Pros and Cons of our time living in Puerto Rico as nomads. I am sure some of you will think we missed a few so let us know in the comments! Obviously there are a lot of factors that will determine if PR is right for you. These are our opinion.

Good video. We are 4-5 years from retiring and doing the slow travel thing. We do own a house and car in Puerto Rico and plan to keep that as our home base. We will sell everything on the mainland, say goodbye to the snow, and travel with a carry on only❤

[mkoschara]

I've only flown through Puerto Rico but definitely need to go someday.

[edusonoseducation]

Thanks for showing our Island so well!

In order to live here you need a "prepper " mindset. Always ready for the unexpected .A generator, a cistern, is already being included in new houses for sale. If you are willing to put up with government slow slow response in everything you want to do (drivers license, and paperwork in general)then you might get used to this. Put your head on a swivel everywhere you go, ,be aware of everything.

Very good review! I am from PR and have lived in Europe and USA so I can compare it to a few destinations and you did a fair and balanced review. The only thing that I think can be clarified is that there are no dirt roads to move around in a normal routine, only to get to certain beaches, in fact PR is one of the top places in the world in paved roads per square mile around 94%.

As soon as I saw you two pop up on my screen sitting next to each other, I could see the love radiating through. Cheers to your beautiful union. And thank you for sharing your advice. 🤍✨

[PaulIsTheBestest]

you did a very good job on this video, i subscribed :)

[electriquenikki]

omg WOW you stayed in Rincon, it sounds magical. and the internet speeds sounding SO good, this is crucial. Thank u for being transparent about ur seasonal depression, I find myself very prone to struggling badly with seasonal depression so its a huge reason why I am strongly considering moving to PR. Slow roasted pork and plantains sound deliciousss. Great video, thank u!

[KelvinWilliams-vj]

Thanks for sharing it's beautiful unlike South Africa where I'm from I always see myself as a Puerto

[seanhenriques]

Great video with so much useful information. Thank you for sharing your pros and cons. I was a bit disappointed that you didn’t mention the Puerto Rican people! In my experience, they are the warmest and most welcoming. I’ve seen compared to other areas. Hopefully you enjoyed that same experience. Safe travels.

[gabyspot]

Congratulations! This is an excellent video for that you have this rare ability to show the cons of our island without offending us. On other videos, the authors sound bitter and we feel offended by some comments, especially because of exaggeration. This is not the case in this video. Thanks!!!

I visited pr in jan 2024 and found home prices half or less than nashville I am from nashville tn have lived here my entire life but 1 day I will leave because of the great taxes in pr I do very well with stocks bonds and real estate great weather food prices at the store aren't much different than TN but for me that is ok I won't own a car Uber travel is very cheap and I just need airport access or hospital access

[marioCrespoColorado]

I was born in pr But I was i was raised in Florida. But I always wanted to see snow ⛄️ because I never experienced it ever in my life. So would need to go more north to see snow

[brettmedina]

Great video, thanks for the explanations

[faustinofernandez]

Thanks for such an honest review comeback soon!!!

[craymurray]

I am thinking of moving there but have heard the internet can be really bad. Also, did you experience frequent power outages and how often did the hurricanes do a lot of damage? I am a remote worker looking to move there.

[lordbrody]

What are the best places to live on the island? I might be relocating to San Juan for work! Thank you!

[music-jjpl]

What if I'm already in Miami. I get most most of that here right? Cost of living should be higher here so it seems like a good place to go with basically the same of everything else?

[josuetorres]

You guys forgot to mention the homeless Dogs that are in the streets in some parts in PUERTO RICO....And also did you guys notice all the homeless Cats inside of San Juan it is my personal cons inside of PUERTO RICO is the cost of prices on the food also the transportation on buses are very slow inside of SAN JUAN region and of course the POWER OF ELETRICITY goes off.Sometimes for hours.
