I lived there for four years working as a teacher in a high school french side.
I am back to France since last march. Thanks for these beautiful rushes, you made me feel homesick cause I've left part of my heart there in the Friendly island ❤😢 Cheers to the Saint-Martin People, I'll never forget you, especially my pals in Sandy Ground and my all of my sweet students ! I hope to visit you again one day...

Looking back, you guys will definitely enjoy and remember this trip forever because it was pre kids! The beauty of St Martin is the drive around the island 9like you experienced), I do it every morning pretty much, while the wife sleeps in (bonus on school days, all the island kids have super vibrant uniforms in all colors which is precious).
Awesome job on the video and glad you got to experience St Martin and see gems like Happy Bay ( along with the hike), Grand Case, Front Street, Marigot, Maho Beach, and the great food of St Martin. Oh and the rum tasting! There is so much more good food on the island to experience along with beaches. Mullet Bay is, hands down, the best beach on the island with great food and vibes 3 mins from Maho. St Martin IS the culinary capital of the Caribbean with so many great places to eat fresh fish. Along with the extensive French pasties in the morning are insane all over the island. Cheers!

I'm glad that you had enjoyed my little island. Come back soon..

Loveee this vlog!! 🤗 Definitely will be checking out Happy Bay. I’m a sucker for a secluded beach.

Hi! Awesome video, my wife and I love St. Martin and of course Maho Beach, I have a couple of the videos we took from Maho, absolutely awesome! Thanks for posting!

[ryanbirk]

Nice video. My wife and I went last October and stayed up at Paradise Peak in Pic Paradis. Loved it there! We'll get back to SXM soon!

[darrickmuir]

Just started watching your channel and enjoy all of your content. We literally just missed you at the hotel you were staying at.

[Angelccmf]

You did all of this in two days? Wow. I’m going for three days soon. I know I can do a lot of sight seeing!

[Spartan]

First time checking your channel and that’s due to our summer holiday plans. Looking a the Caribbean but not sure which island to choose, I think St Maarten has just made the cut. I will however need to check out your Anguilla vlog though.

[Vaxkir]

Thank you both so much for such an awesome video! Excellent info! I leave for St M on Monday.

I don't think I've ever seen someone smell a johnny cake. As soon as it leaves the pan, we're snarfing them down. No time to smell. 😊 Glad you enjoyed the island.

[Hoagmatthew]

Just found y'all and we're headed here next month. Thanks for the insight!

Best vacation place ever!!! We go there 3 times a year and stay in Philipsburg … best snapper is at the lay back bar with Shelly belly 😉 best drinks and atmosphere is from the Shell bar right beside the holland house hotel … great hotel BTW .. your video was great … loved seeing all the places on the island .. what a great place!!! The sea palace is another great hotel in Philipsburg … Thanks for sharing your vacation ❤

[doodsanddudes]

Wow you guys really get around and build that country list. We are working on it but we both still work full time. Some day maybe able to transition to full time travel and other stuff. 🎉loved the Iceland stuff.

[tenley]

Awesome video. St. Maarten is my home country. 😊

[SchmoopsAdventures]

Love the level 8 bags. Are you doing Annapolis Boat show this year?

[MsRichelle]

Great video! I was told to get to David's hole from a small dirty road to the right of Baie Rouge. Is that the way you went? Just wanted to check so we can find another route if this is where that route takes you. thanks!

I haven't even finished your video yet. But.. great so far. My wife and I love St. Martin. We always stay on the French side. Happy bay is and often nude. If you are going to be nude, then get there early before all the tourist sail boats and wave runner tours show up about 11 a.m. Late afternoon is also a great time. If you hike Pic Paradis from Lottery Farm it is very challenging. Short but steep. It is about 1.5 miles to the top, but has about. 1350 ft elevation change from bottom to top. Some of the hiking has grades from 27-34%. Very steep. Best Wishes.

[Winterfell]

You have to go to Lotterie Farms and hike from there. No high clearance vehicle needed.
