    Default Has anyone here ever lived in the Virgin Islands?

    Hi guys, I missed you. I was wondering if anyone had any insight on relocating to, or just living in, the US Virgin Islands. Not necessarily stripping-wise; I'm pretty much over stripping, and anyway, I'm kind of chubby and taciturn these days. Mostly I want to know, is it as pretty as it seems in pictures? Is housing/ food prohibitively expensive? Is it a nice place to be without a car? Is it a little bit rundown and a little bit fancy, like I hear Key West was in the 80s? Will I meet people there among whom I won't feel lonely? Will my cat like it?

    Any input that anyone might have about anything is greatly appreciated. I love y'all from boring-ass interior Alaska... and I look forward to being somewhere on an island sometime soon...
    Drought was over. Where was I? Drinks were on the house.
    For mixers, my love, you'd poured--what?--even the rain.

    I lived on Saint Thomas USVI for one month. I cried with joy the 1st day I was there & I cried with sorrow the day I left. I loved it so much.

    It is expensive but if you can land a straight job there and live modestly, you can be happy there. The US Coast Guard has a station there, so you can also become a "Coastie" to reach this desired goal of living there (Coast Guard applicants with college degrees can make demands as to where they are stationed- your education is leverage.)

    As far as I understand, there is a huge dichotomy in the virgin islands. Half of the people are piss-poor and relatively lawless, and the other half are rich white folk. Last I heard, there was pretty much no traffic law except the honk, the islands were rife with drugs, and the 'police' were a joke. And the beaches were amazing.

    This info isn't terribly current though, so maybe it's changed. That and my friend who lived there a few years is kind of bitter about unrelated incidents that happened in the islands, so there could be an unobjective slant going on.

    Why don't you go on vacation there first before you decide to move there?

    I think you're allowed to drink and drive there.. I'd be scared to live in a place like that.

    The unrestricted drinking there might account for displaying symptoms of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome...

    The idea crossed my mind once when I was looking for a college to attend. My family said VI was out of the question..to far for an 18yr old.

    Isn't there a residency requirement implied in the name?

    My boyfriend used to live there, so I'm giving him the keyboard to give you the 411 while I get ready for work lol :

    I used to live on St. Thomas.
    hi first off the really good jobs are hard to get so bring a bank roll of at least 3k in case things get tough, and things are pricey besides booze.
    The first thing i would do is get a place at The Miller Manor. It's a very reasonably priced guest house that's alot like a hotel but way cheaper, and it's just out of Charlotte Amalie (Down Town).

    Lean to take the Safri Bus, They are pick up trucks with benches bolted down that go around the main part of the island for only a buck. (Remember to pay after you get off, not before)

    Each side of the island has it's own feel, and cliques. I personally ended up on the east end "Red Hook", and ended up renting a furnished studio condo for 825 a month. If you find a roommate and have a car things are much cheaper.

    Also the locals only say good mourning, good day, good after noon and good night. Hello and good bye are rude to most folks. They will love you or hate you, that's just the way it goes when whites only maker up 15% of the population. I hope you find it eye opening.


    I have tons of stories and other advice i could share, but I feel like I'd be writing a novel; if I had it all here. So if you want to know more get in touch with us.

    And whatever you do, you REALLY do not want to dance there. It's not so much about being a stripper as it's more so about hookers finding hook-ups.

    Thanks for your input, guys. I hope to be able to visit for a few days before relocating, but I may not be able to comfortably afford 2 trips. I think I could be happy someplace kind of lawless and seedy... it's kind of what I'm looking for, I think, as these days all I want in the world is to live in a shack surrounded by vines and chickens, where everything is warm and walkable and green green green.

    I'm counting down the days til I leave AK... the good news is, I've been able to buy a new computer, so as soon as it arrives I should be online a bit more, because I miss you people.

    i have a good friend that i work with thats from there. she's ready to go back. i'll see her tonight and ask more questions.
    one thing i do remember her saying are the roads are really fucked up and she used to just let her horse loose and go find it later. lol. livestock are apparently allowed to move around at will.
    As quoted by Luckyone:
    I asked directions from a genie in a bottle of jim beam and she lied to me.
