I wish all of the Caribbean leaders will get their acts together as far as air travel in the region so we can go back to the days of island hopping. Those were wonderful days. That's how we forged friendships. All Caribbean islands are unique but beautiful. We are a blessed people, we just don't know.

Moved to St.Lucia perminently after 47 years of living in the U.K I can really identify with this lady. We have been here for 10 months and everything you say have come to pass. Still haven't opened a bank account after seeing what my husband went through. He too is from Guyana, but we both experienced the culture shock, frustrations and challenges. But like Denise we are learning to chill and experience island life and it is and can be beautiful. Even though I was born and raised in St.Lucia having left at a young age and spending most of my life in the U.K. I too am having to learn to live in the Caribbean.

This video is so nice I'm watching it twice. Thanks Zoe and Denise - so many wonderful insights and honest information. I enjoyed listening to the first 10 minutes of waxing poetic on the views, nature, the stars - took my imagination right there and made my heart swell. Seriously will be the first to snatch up if you two put out a joint guide on moving to Caribbean!

I'm seriously thinking of moving to the Caribbean. I'm UK born of Jamaican heritage - both sides. I'd never leave to live in Jamaica simply because too often 'retournees' are targeted by criminals. For example, my neighbour never even made it 5 miles outside the airport before he was murdered by his associates. I have been to Trinidad and Tobago and got robbed THREE TIMES at the carnival there, so that is a no no. Moving to a relatively quiet, almost crime free Caribbean island would suit me.

I’m 26 and I went to St Lucia for the first time in June 2022. I loved it so much & I met some really amazing people out there. I will be returning back to St Lucia in January for my birthday. But I’ve been considering moving to St Lucia and have been researching like crazy so I can witness the experience that British people go through when moving overseas. I definitely have experienced that some lucian workers do things on their own time and the lack of technology and knowledge around technology e.g. contactless payment is very frustrating. But I have to remember that they aren’t as updated as the people who live in the UK. But this was a great interview! I definitely have to watch Exodus move to Grenada with Children as I have a young son. My main concern has been around education for my son and what that process looks like.

I have to admit I have 3 accounts in Jamaica and was easy for me to open provided that all you me names match ok your documentation then I’ve had no problem. I bank online where I can generate and download statements make payments and they have me a contactless chip and pin debit card. You can also renew your passport online and it will be sent you wherever you are in the world by courier it’s fantastic and so proud of them for making these advancements. They are also introducing crypto currency etc so they are definitely up there 🙌🏽👌🏽 Companies that don’t embrace technology definitely hold the country back and it’s such a shame that these people that have been in the same job for 50 years are allowed to stagnate an economy. Out with the old and in with the new 😎

Beautiful story and places where people are doing things legally shouldn't have to go thru fire just to open up a simple bank account. Because of their lack and willingness to open up to new processes, other islands who are embracing modern technology are foraging ahead and outsiders are opting to go there and spend their money on those islands. Step into the 21st century st Lucia let's get it together.
