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?

You have exciting lips and cheeks, hypnotizing beauty 😅❤😇
Thank you for all your content, I was fortunate to meet a PR woman many years ago. She came to NY for a change, lucky me , we lived together for numerous years ,but sadly we went our separate ways, ive never meet a person more proud of her heritage then she was, and what I've learned was , pretty much all PR feel that way, but if it wasn't for meeting her I would of never found such a beautiful place, I spend most of my winter in Rincon, only because she was a 🏄♀️, I believe I could live there full time but haven't pulled the trigger yet, no matter were I go in the world I always end up back on Long Island NY, idk very strange magnetic pull coming from NY, lol, anyway, love your life, your effortless way of making me love every destination you visit, I'm pretty sure I've told myself I will be definitely going to whatever destination you've filmed , HaHa, Great job bringing differnt location around the world into my bucket list.Enjoy, Be safe!
When are you coming to Habana Cuba ?
We are waiting for you specially me , don't be late please ❤
It is America because America is a continent and not just a country.
Well Puerto Rico and other Caribbean islands are part of North America. And a commonwealth of the US for over 100 years. Great melting pot of cultures influenced by native Taino, Europe and Africa.
Lord Jesus let me visit this Island again before I die. I love PR.
Praying you do! We just got back from Patillas and it's a glorious place to spend time there with family and friends. I'm thankful to return to see family after 50 years.
Bomba and Plena would not be Bomba or Plena without African, Taino, and Spanish Influence. We are all three in one. We represent all equally. WE ARE BORRICUA ❤
Bring me back to old school salsa, El Gran Combo, Fania All Stars, Colon, LaVoe.
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 ❤
Next time will hit up more spots for sure, thank you 🙏
Mi casa es tu casa. Welcome
We just returned from Patillas. It was a dream come true to see family again and meet ones we'd never met. The last time we visited was 50 years ago. Spectacular people, delicious fresh seafood and incredible beauty.
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! 😋
So true! Maybe the friendliest people I’ve met on my travels to date !
🇵🇷
Absolutely the most warm hearted people. Christmas is also a fun time to go.
PUERTO RICO ESTÁ CABROOOOON!!!! 🎉❤ Thank you for inviting me to be part of this little documentary!! It was so fun ❤
Thank you! I had such a fun time!
I love my country. 🇵🇷🇵🇷❤️🙏👍✌️
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 🌻
I also heard that in places like Norway, Greenland and Finland they have high suicide rates so that is kind of contradictory too. The islands always seem fun ❤
It most definitely is a life well lived!
One of my favorite places on earth.
As a Brit living in Florida it's refreshing to come across your page, I'm headed to PR for the second time it's been 8 years and taking my girlfriend who's never been. super excited cheers for the ideas. and keep up the great work. James from Swindon.
Have fun! Thank you
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.
Love Puerto Rico!!!!!!
As a Puerto Rican, I love the way you covered the way of life in the island. So beautifully captured.
I loved you presentation on Puerto Rico ….🇵🇷 I enjoyed that ….Alex🇬🇷
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 🙏
Every time I see one of Malini's videos, I get homesick for a place that I have never visited! Lovely travel vlog, Malini!
Thank you 😀
Thank you for sharing. A European view of BORINKEN and Boricuas. Thank you
You’re welcome !
As a Black American: *Puerto Ricans are amongst our best people as far as culture* Puerto Ricans have lead the way in the U.S FOR ALL LATINOS. The P.R Young Lords Civil rights group and their contribution to the creation of Hop Hop culture. They have added to the FLAVOR of America!
“Puerto Ricans have lead the way in the US FOR ALL LATINOS.”. You must be insane or off your medication. PRs amongst Latinos lead in: highest percentage of welfare recipients, highest in unemployment, highest in incarceration, highest in drug use (poor Hector Camacho) and second only to the DRs in unwed mothers. US Bureau of Labor and Statistics. If hip hop is a goal or something to be proud of for you, then yes, they’re badasses. And that would go hand in hand with the above. “Lead the way”??? Da f*ck?!?!
Thanks for recognizing this! 👍🏽🇵🇷
We are one brother✊🏽✊🏿
@@diegodelavega1883 You're welcome 👍🏾
Since when do blacks as a priviledged group with legal status get to dictate who leads in the latino community?
Holy f stay in yo lane, youre not oart of this AT ALL
Puerto rico is my island. Utudo puerto rico.🇵🇷✌️👍🙏❤️🇵🇷
Making good vedios to know the different places all over the world
I really love this ❤
Thank you 🙏
Fabulous destination as usual, great vibe of the local scene in Puerto Rico.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Malini soy Nely, la mamá de Chel, Len y Lya, tus vecinos de Caracas cuando eras pequeña y amigos de tu papá y mamá. Nos encanto este video! Se ve como disfrutaste de tus raíces latinas, tomaste cerveza ( debes probar la Polar y la Zulia de aquí) bailaste y tienes "tumbao" Me gusto mucho que hablas de los orígenes de la Isla, su historia y cultura, muy bueno la verdad, te felicito Malini🥰😘❤️. Nos enorgullecerse como venezolana en el mundo, te esperamos a que te reencuentres con tu país de nacimiento y parte de tus ancestros... Venezuela tiene una mayor Diversidad es más que playa, tenemos las montañas de Los Andes, Selvas y Llanuras y la gente es tan o más cariñosa
Hola Nely! Era chiquita pero si tengo recuerdos de ti 🥰🥰 me gustaría venir y hacer un vídeo en Venezuela. Ojalá que pronto tal vez el año próximo sea posible y que nos podemos ver, sería muy lindo!! Me encanta que te haya gustado el vídeo, amo la cultura latina, bailar y la música 🎶. Abrazo! 🤗
Nice video God bless Puerto Rico spañish heritage.
Thanks for watching!
22:24 NO WAY! HE'S MY HISTORY TEACHER! Thanks a lot for chatting with him in this documentary!
Your still living the adventure, still gorgeous, still making great videos never stop!!!
Thank you! Will do!
Thanks for this uplifting and vibrant watch 🤗❤️
Glad you enjoyed it!
I really love the latin culture with its music, dancing, cuisine and warm hospitality...I can see the Spanish and Portuguese influences in Puerto Rico with the architecture and all the other elements that make up the Interesting blend of the history and culture..I must visit one day Malini, great video as always ❤
One of the most fun cultures for sure! Thank you for watching ❤
Cuisine isn’t the best
@@AJ-lj6qgIt’s way better than American cuisine.
I loved it!
Thank you for giving such an accurate description of our culture and political situation.
You’re welcome, glad you enjoyed it 🩷🩷
Greetings from New York Malini, I love your beautiful accent and thank you so much for your well done video of Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
You are so welcome!
THANK YOU Square space 🤩. Long live Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Thank you for covering the island! You're amazing as always!
My pleasure!
Thanks for sharing your work, Malini Angelica. Your filming always has these sweet moments, like when you asked the PR family that live in the continental US how they identify, and she sighs then feels so comfortable giving you a very real answer filled with pride and ambivalence with biculturalism, geopolitics, identity and belonging. Hope you all come to Panamá.
Thank you for watching and supporting the channel, we will definitely visit Panama soon ❤
I think the person who was talking about plena from minute 6:18 is mixing and confusing plena with bomba which is another local music genre
Great review of our modern music and culture, but to go back to the 1800s you must visit Ponce, Mayaguez, Yauco, Coamo and Guayama with its French and Corsican influences
PR is such a wonderful place, good vibes and great weather. Even when it rained on the beach, the music just got louder and louder to scare away the clouds.
As a Puerto Rican i can tell u PR is a crime infested hell hole!!!
I believe that 😂 they love their music!
Really appreciate your presentation skills, very well made video.
Thank you very much!
Based on my conversations with Puerto Ricans from the island and those who live in NY with ties to PR, most seem to like it the way it currently is, a commonwealth.
It's a bit of a controversial topic on our subreddit as some want to be state, others independent country. So I can see it
Malina, I’m Italian and have watched many of ur videos especially the Italian ones. You are a super talented story teller! Joe
Thank you so much!!
I like Puerto Rico because it has beautiful beaches
Went to Puerto Rico 2017 for an infosec conference. Afterwards Despacito and storms Irma and Maria occurred. Cool place with recent strife that is hopefully better.
Gracias por vicitar mi Isla PR
This a wonderful vid.She really got itouch with local people and here videos points to her work.Very nice.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for showing us such a wonderful video! The great scenery Puerto Rico. I feel so happy watching this place! I look forward to your next work! Have a nice day, my friend! 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for this insight into a country I visited all to brief during my navy days. I’m not sure if they still do it, but before deployment we would always go to PR. Being from Brooklyn I’ve been around them, but never knew anything about them. Now I know that having a mix of indigenous sets them apart. Some of my best friends and wonderful girlfriends were Puerto Ricans. Maybe I’ll be blessed enough to visit again one day.
Great content
Thank you!
Nice dance moves, I enjoyed another one of your videos, Gorgeous voice and 'very nice looking', Malini. (Like a fine wine, just looking better each day) (From the U.S - Atlanta, Georgia, CW)
As a Puerto Rican since birth i approve yor video. Good not biased to tourism, and went to different parts of the island. Only correction is that we are a colony. And to some comments ive seen. We receive assistance from the US. We are cracking down on corruption, and you only need a driver's license to get here.
Learned a new word, thanks. “Chinchorreo” 🇵🇷
😊
This is for the young lady speaking at 11:50 puretorican repn nj... you are gorgeous ❤❤..
I religiously check my YT notifs for your videos! so glad I stumbled upon your channel a year ago, love the camera work and story telling :)
Awesome! Thank you!
I'm constantly anticipating your videos-- for they are knowledgeable, informative, and genuinely fun in every way. I wish you all the best in the world and may you continue sharing your journey with us.
♡♡♡
So nice to hear that, thank you 🙏
Great video as all of them
Excellent narration, filming, and editing.
The cameraman has mad skills
Cheers
Much appreciated!
You belong on Island, living with us. I love your accent, but that accent is best on the Island. Love!
😊 thank you

Great, so glad you enjoyed the video!!
Such a beautiful place Malini Angelica! Thanks for posting this video
Our pleasure !
Great video!!! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for watching!
We love to go home to Patillas in the south side of the island. It's surely paradise when you can visit family there and see it from their perspective. The kind people, delicious food, beach, valley and mountains. Not much more is needed. :) Thanks for sharing Malina.
Very great vids, best travel vids on the internet, keep on, keepin on!🎉
Thank you! Will do! Thank you for supporting the channel we really appreciate it!!

Great video, thanks you for showing what the real Puerto Rico is all about.
Our pleasure!
You did an amazing job covering the island showcasing our heritage, foods and culture. Thank you! I'm glad I discovered your channel and I love watching your content. By the way you ate that morcilla (blood sausage) like a champ, LOL. I know a lot of people that cringe at it. I personally love it. Keep up the great videos!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video!!
What a Fantastic video Malini!!!! I hope you come to NYC and make a video some day : )
Maybe one day!
Informative and very interesting
Glad you think so!
Really good video! My favourite place in Puerto Rico is Vieques though
I love your content! I absolutely love the attention and time you put into sharing a local experience in every video you share. You are absolutely stunning and so charismatic, I’m curious to learn more about your background, your cultural upbringing, and what inspired you to travel and dedicate your time to video blogging ❤.
Thank you so much!!
Thanks for a well crafted video that gives viewers a brief depiction of our culture and beauty. I live in US but visit every year. Nothing like it! I love your style and hopefully your viewers will experience it for themselves. Wepa!🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
Our pleasure!
And I will say something shocking. Puerto Ricans, PER CAPITA, are the most accomplished people on the planet, perhaps with the exceptions of the Jews. That title would have gone to the Cubans, had it not been for the Revolution . . . If you would consider 4 million on the island alone, and certainly with the 4 million on the US mainland, they are about the best country for boxing champions (usually ranked 3 or 4th for boxing), for baseball stars and teams, for basketball, for international beauty pageants, for music, for dance, for all dimensions of art from painting to a fair amount of literature, for acting . . . and for military, with more medals than any ethnic group I believe . . . goodness. If we'd only focus on more analytic areas like physics . . . and on business creation . . . .
Malini, thank you for visiting/exploring PR. You look like a local on the island but there's more to PR than San Juan area. Next time, go to the country side, aguadilla. Listen to Jibarito, danza music. And explore more Taino culture. Thank you💗
Thanks for the tips! Unfortunately we only have a few weeks in each place to film and edit so can't do it all and there is so much to explore! Next time! 🙌
Malini, consider visiting Havana and Cuba. I enjoy listening to your Espanol, easy to understand.
Next time!
Your videos are amazing. Malini..Your initials are MA,and you have that masters degree in presentation! Interesting video on Puerto Rico, I really enjoyed watching it, thank you!❤
Glad you like them!
Hi Malini! Love your videos !
Hey, thanks!
