I thoroughly enjoyed this video…. A great mix of authentic Bahamian experiences. All Bahamian-owned businesses as well…
I'm loving how he's venturing out to all the local restaurants
As a bahamian our government should not sell any more private island in the Bahamas. The Bahamas should be for bahamian once u sell u can't own no more. And the sad part is only the bahamian can't no more go on bahamian land.You must think of the future of our people not just now but our kids and grand kids. So please let's keep the Bahamas for the bahamian people.
Peas and Rice 🇧🇸
