It seems to be among the final three options for most people considering a move to the Caribbean.

Being a U.S. territory makes for an easier-than-most transition, yet St. John has a pure island lifestyle:

lush hills, pocket beaches, sea breezes to compliment the ever-present sun.

The airport is in St. Thomas, necessitating a ferry over to St. John

and keeping this new home a bit less worn than its bigger sibling island.
這使得圣約翰島比其略大的姐妹島嶼受到的影響更小。
