Puerto Rico is a Caribbean island with a long, complex history. It's been a US controlled territory for the last 150 years and its residents are American citizens, and before that it was under Spanish colonial rule for 400 years. But Puerto Rico has its own rich culture and identity which reflect the different people and cultural influences that form part of the island's history. In this episode I try the local food, listen to Puerto Rico's native musical genres, visit its beautiful beaches the El Yunque tropical rainforest, and make friends with the locals, in order to understand the culture better.

    Puerto Rico is an interesting place! It’s been a US controlled territory for the past 150 years, yet it has such a distinct culture and history, is it really America? What do you think?

    Lord Jesus let me visit this Island again before I die. I love PR.
  • Puerto Ricans are so friendly and will totally invite you to their home, their party. I did a semester in college there, and it will always have a special place im my heart. And the food! 😋
  • @barcelona12ist
    I'm Mediterranean myself and we also spend a lot of time outside at the beach enjoying our food, having friends and family around - just celebrating life like the people do here in this video...And then some survey tries to convince me that the happiest people and best life is lived in Norway/Finland, Sweden, or somewhere similar..All I can say is, that it is all relative, in my opinion, this is a life well-lived 🌻
  • The guy in the yellow house bar,is a man of few words but many expressions, his answers to your group questions are visually eloquent 😊

    Every time I see one of Malini's videos, I get homesick for a place that I have never visited! Lovely travel vlog, Malini!
  • @Prince-me4ts
    I've spent 8 months working in Puerto Rico, after Hurricane Maria. I knew at that time, I would live there one day. Hopefully, this year is my year. Thank you for the video to show the beauty and warm feeling of Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 I wish you had spent more time showing parts like Orocovis, Barranquilla, Cabo Rojo, and Patillas. Nevertheless, awesome video. Thank you. I am now a subscriber👍🏾💯 By the way, I seriously taken by your beauty. Absolutely stunning ❤

    PUERTO RICO ESTÁ CABROOOOON!!!! 🎉❤ Thank you for inviting me to be part of this little documentary!! It was so fun ❤
  • @QueensNY718
    Yes, Puerto Rico is America. In fact, if you are born in Puerto Rico you get automatic American citizenchip. However, Puerto Rico has done a great job keeping its Hispanic heritage and language. I'm Dominican, but I do love my PR people.
  • @DavidStella
    As a Puerto Rican, I love the way you covered the way of life in the island. So beautifully captured.
  • @BigBear59
    I loved you presentation on Puerto Rico ….🇵🇷 I enjoyed that ….Alex🇬🇷
  • @blakepeters5186
    I have visited a few times. It's beautiful as are the people. Not quite the same as within the US mainland because PR maintains the beauty and history of their culture. I hope it can remain untainted.. enough damage was done 150years ago.
  • @rubenvargas585
