St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands - Sky Ride - Paradise Point
The Skyride to Paradise Point takes you 700 ft. above the town of Charlotte Amalie. It's one of the must do attractions in the Caribbean, the Skyride carries 24 passengers every 7 minutes along its 8 tower ascent of Flag Hill.

St. Thomas Adventure Tours:
St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands has so much to offer. I really never thought that swimming with sea turtles in the wild would be something that I wanted to do, but as soon as I saw the tour with St. Thomas Adventure Tours, I knew that I had to do it! Once I hit the water, I swam with the group for 2 and a half hours!! The whole time I swam with sea turtles, sting rays, squids, fishes, crabs, and so much more! When you visit St. Thomas, check out St. Thomas Adventure Tours for a chill day with some turtles in the beautiful crystal clear waters of the Caribbean.

Drive Around St. Thomas (Virgin Islands) With Us
Drive Around St. Thomas (Virgin Islands) With Us - I would not have been able to drive here. The roads are steep and narrow. You really have to know where you are going to be safer. Plus, they drive on the left side, that will confuse me even more :-)
Because of friend's generosity of their time and kindness, we were able to tour around St. Thomas even though we weren't initially planning on it. We are so grateful. Meet Ms. Jane, a former teacher for decades on the island.
Because of Ms. Jane, we were able to have an idea how locals live, where they eat, and we were able to go to the lookout point. We even had discussions on how locals think of the current political climate in the U.S. She has many interesting stories! She also took us to the grocery store, so we can bring some food with us in St. John island since food will be a little bit more expensive there.
For our brunch, we ate at Hook, Line and Sinker. It's a great relaxed restaurant right there by the harbor with a great view of the islands. While eating, Ms. Jane told us stories of hurricanes and tsunamis experienced by the island. Yikes!
We basically had a personal chauffeur and tour guide all in one! Wow. So grateful for the kindness of people. It was also great to just talk to people and get to know them a bit. We like building relationships. Now, I can say that I have a friend who lives in St. Thomas.
WHO ARE WE?
We, Irwin and Victorina, have decided to quit our jobs, sell everything we have and go on an epic road trip of visiting all U.S. National Parks! Follow our journey - from letting go of our material possessions, preparing for the extended camping trip, and even the mistakes, joys, doubts and adventures we make along the way! We hope to inspire others to appreciate the beauty of Planet Earth.
Adventure begins in Feb 2017. We estimate this road trip will take us approximately 12 to 16 months. We know we will some amazing places and meet a lot of interesting people.
If you have an idea or suggestions for us for places to visit along the way, feel free to contact us!
NEW VIDEOS every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. If we miss a day, it is probably because we had no phone signal inside the park or we couldn't find any wifi access. If this is the case, we will upload our video as soon as we get any phone signal.

ST THOMAS, US VIRGIN ISLANDS // Honeymoon 2019
ST THOMAS, US VIRGIN ISLANDS // Honeymoon 2019
In this second episode of our #Honeymoon vlog, we arrive on the island of #SaintThomas in the #USVirginIslands!
Saint Thomas is one of the #VirginIslands in the #Caribbean Sea and, together with Saint John, and Saint Croix, form a county and constituent district of the United States Virgin Islands, an unincorporated territory of the #UnitedStates.
The Danes first settled the island in 1671 and it later became a Danish crown colony. In 1917, Saint Thomas was purchased (along with Saint John and Saint Croix) by the United States for $25 million in gold (that would be about $489 million in todays worth), as part of a defensive strategy to maintain control over the Caribbean and the Panama Canal during the First World War.
My wife and I explored the beautiful capital city of #CharlotteAmalie. We then found the #SaintThomasSynagogue. Which is one of the oldest synagogues in the Western Hemisphere! The synagogue was built in 1833 for a congregation founded in 1792, it is the synagogue with the longest history of continuous use on what is now United States soil.
This #synagogue belongs to one of the most unique synagogues in the world. Why? The floor is covered in sand! The tradition originated in Spain in the time when #Jews in Spain were forced to convert to Christianity. The Jews who continued to practice their faith secretly used sand to muffle the sound of their footsteps, as well their voices and the prayers themselves. There are only five synagogues in the world that hold this tradition.
Our tour guide was very friendly and explained everything about the synagogue to us. Come to find out that she was born in the very same small Austrian town as I! What a small world.
I hope you enjoyed this episode! Saint Martin vlog is coming soon! Stay tuned, subscribe and click the bell so that you don't miss a video! Thanks ❤️
