What is it like living in Puerto Rico? As digital nomads and slow travelers we lived an abundant life in Puerto Rico for two months. Puerto Rico, with its vibrant culture, stunning natural beauty, and favorable tax incentives, has become an attractive choice for digital nomads looking to base themselves in the Caribbean. We dive into the Pros and Cons of Living in Puerto Rico from the perspective of a digital nomad, slow traveler.
These are our opinions.

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.

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❤

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

@josuetorres2394 6 месяцев назад

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 sad.....Now 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.

@TheWanderingHartz 6 месяцев назад

We only spent 2 nights in San Juan and the rest of our time was spent in Fajardo and Rincon so we didn't see a lot of stray cats. We didn't encounter very many street dogs, only a few on the beaches in Rincon. Yes, public transportation is not great in Puerto Rico. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@amgooder 6 месяцев назад

Stray 🐕🐈easy fix...despite shelters...overpopulation is the mayor problem! It takes locals and goverment to go hands on! Power outages?...solar panels which are being installed by the thousands... food..grow your own 😂...food everywhere is expensive. Transportation...? 99% own their own transportation.

@josephrod1993 5 месяцев назад

Almost every one has a car in PR so thats why they dont care about public transportation@@TheWanderingHartz

@yetmel5834 4 месяца назад

I actually think the cats are a pro. They control the rats. Plus they have mad ethat place a home. People feed them and there is a vet group that takes care of them. They even neuter or spay them.

@yetmel5834 4 месяца назад

I actually think those cats in Old San Juan are a pro. They keep the rats out. Plus there is a community that takes care of them and even neuter/spay them.

Hmm, I bet I could buy a beater car to smash around the island for a couple G. Handling that, PR might be a vibe. Man I LOVE PR. Minnesotan here, and I’m looking to escape the gray. I’ve never experienced a hurricane tho so idk mannn

@TheWanderingHartz 2 месяца назад

You definitely need a car if your gonna be there for a while and if you want to see the best parts of the island. It is stunningly beautiful you can't beat the Caribbean!

@TheWanderingHartz 4 месяца назад

We loved our stay in Puerto Rico, if you have the budget we think it's a great option for living or slow traveling in the Caribbean.

@dnie25 3 месяца назад

You state that Puerto Rican food has "Tejano" influences in your video, but I would have to disagree. Instead of stating "Tejano" I would have stated the food has "Taino" and "Carib" influences which are the two main Indigenous tribes people which inhabited the island when the Spanish originally arrived. Many Puerto Ricans today continue to carry the genes of only our Taino and Carib Indian grandmothers as our Taino and Carib Indian grandfathers did not produce offspring due to the Spanish enslavement or widespread extermination of all male Taino and Carib men during the conquest of the island by our Spanish grandfathers. It was our surviving Taino and Carib Indian grandmothers who introduced some of their culinary traditions to our current cuisine. "Tejano" is a term generally used for Mexican American culture and cuisine which although they had similar traditions and cuisine there still remain many differences between the Aztec, Inca and other Central American tribes from those in the Caribbean. The food was also different due to the different food ingredients available in both places. And I think if a Puerto Rican overhears you ever compare the food in Puerto Rico to Mexican cuisine and describe it as "Tejano" some may even take offense to it.

@TheWanderingHartz 3 месяца назад

Thanks for super detailed comment. Michelle meant to say "Taino" but got mixed up.

@dnie25 3 месяца назад

@@TheWanderingHartz No worries. Both names may sound similar to many English language speakers. It's understandable.

PR has been threw thousands of hurricanes no sweat

@TheWanderingHartz 2 месяца назад

Yes, we see your point, but the island is far more populated in the last 400 years and thus the risk of loss of life has become exponentially greater over that time. If you are able to accept that risk, good for you, however not everyone is comfortable with the potential loss of life or or financially able to deal with property damage and the aftermath. As for us, we would not be as concerned, but we would also be less likely to remain on the island in the peak of hurricane season. Not everyone has that option. 🤔

Wonder where violent crime will fall.

@TheWanderingHartz 6 месяцев назад

Honestly didn't factor that in. I am assuming your talking about violent crimes? We never felt unsafe but we also don't seek out illegal things or party in sketchy areas of San Juan. Although we might update our blog post to reflect crime rates.

@hernandez-perezandroid5983 6 месяцев назад

Violent crime is very little to none compare to all U.S. mainland cities with similar population of 3.4+ million people. I live on the island since 2010 and have never ever experience any type of crime.

I’m Puerto Rican and I agree with your pros and cons that were mentioned in the video. It’s impossible to cover all topics in a short video. Not to mention, they did say that the topics covered were from their personal experience and it could vary person to person. It’s nice to hear the perspective from someone who is less likely to be bias such as Puerto Ricans. Keep up the good work 👍
