Hello everybody, this is Heidi and this is the Surviving Changes podcast. Hey, you're going to see a couple upgrades coming. I want to thank the people that have subscribed on TikTok and I'm going to give you a shout out an individual shout out at the beginning of the next episode. I need to get your guys' names. Thank you so much, and also anybody who has done the Buy my Beer. It's because of you we're able to continue right now and do those upgrades. So, thank you so much. I appreciate you guys so much.

Speaker 1: 0:36

So today I'm going to talk about getting to Puerto Rico, and to get to Puerto Rico from Perth. The way that I was doing it meant going from Perth to Sydney, from Sydney to Manchester, from Manchester to Abu Dhabi, from Abu Dhabi to JFK, from JFK to San Juan, from San Juan over to the west side of the island. So there's a little bit of a jaunt there and I'll eventually do once we're all caught up on the kind of timeline as a whole. I'll go back and do fun, little and serious, little and knowledgeable, little clips from each part of these journeys, and you'll also find some on TikTok, some through the subscribe, some through just on my page. My name is Heidi Hunt, if you haven't got that yet, and so you should be able to search for that, and then the page or the handle or whatever is at Pellucci Pet Hero, because it actually was my puppy's page to start. So my Puerto Rican street dog, as a matter of fact, he's like yeah, you can have it, mom, I'm cool.

Speaker 1: 1:58

So by the time I was leaving Australia I was so damn tired I did not know. I knew I was getting beat up. I knew there was a lot of people beating me up. I knew it was a very structured and coordinated effort that probably cost a little bit of money to beat me up, um, but I still would not have guessed at that point. I knew my brother was involved. I could point to certain people who were involved. I mean, that was easy Galen, my brother, catherine Abel, chris, marriott, my daughter, friends and family employees and people at the Linda Eide, people at the Bar Association, judge Downs, people in St Homer's County. But I would have never guessed that there was a place called a fusion center. That was a front I may have known. There was a fusion center, certainly A place where all the information goes and a lot of good people are out there helping us. That's not what it is. I don't think that's what it ever has been. It's been a great way to silence the people who are out there trying to tell you hey, they're trafficking women in Snohomish County. Hey, these guys are stealing money from you right here. Hey, that's what it's for. And it was used quite effectively.

Speaker 1: 3:19

But at that point I didn't know like that's what it was. I thought it was a bunch of people that had got together with my brother, linda Eide, you know just a more local group that had resources, clearly, but I didn't understand that they had Obama-type resources. Back then I was learning pretty quick, though I did get in a fight with the immigration lady on the way out, because that was the first time I was ever even told that there was a tax debt, and I was mad. I'm like, let me see that. And she wouldn't let me see that. I'm like, oh, did they send it to you along with the check? I pretty much told her to fuck off on the way out, told her I wasn't renewing shit, pieces of shit. So at that point I did know it was also worldwide. I thought I had to undergo for the community market. They made me undergo an extra hearing, essentially because someone had contacted them and said that I had stole from all those people and then sent all of the bullshit stuff from the bar, and so the council had to actually do a whole extra vote on that um, and council members had to get up and actually testify on my behalf saying, no, we've seen her through this process. We don't believe that we, we believe that's dirty americans, just like she said. Um, and so the market was allowed to go. But uh, they obviously did the same thing at immigration when I was. They didn't know for sure. I was on my way out. They were trying to shake me down for that five grand.

Speaker 1: 4:59

But so when I was leaving there I didn't have a ton of money. I put everything into that market and into that community. Lisa remember she was needing me to testify for her, or at least not testify against her. So I had a place to live. I didn't have to worry about food, basic food, electricity, shelter. It wasn't pleasant, but I grew up a hunt. I can tune a lot of that shit out Pretty good. I think it's probably a natural thing that we're born with as a defense mechanism.

Speaker 1: 5:35

So I didn't have a lot of money. I knew that there was going to be some money coming to me from remember, the taxes that they had taken out on the real estate deal and for a little while I was allowed to make some sandwiches and do a couple of stupid things like that. But that money was getting returned to me in Puerto Rico. But I had to leave the country show. I left the country apply within a certain amount of time and then it would take a certain amount of time. So the money I had leaving was very, very limited. I didn't want to spend anything extra that I'd have to. I didn't know when I was going to get money again and I had no idea what Manchester, abu, dhabi, jfk and JFK was actually particularly. I did it on purpose because I wanted to know if they were going to let me step back in the US or arrest me. You see, I was ready for at that point. I was ready for that challenge, healthy enough, had enough with me that I believed that it would be okay at that point.

Speaker 1: 6:39

But that whole tax deal that she wouldn't show me, that was slightly disturbing because that meant that this group, whoever it was, had been meddling even farther than my house, my cabin, my car, my Jeep, my office. I mean, how deep can you go? Deep state is the real question. I'm like fuck Deep, that's how deep they can go. So anyway, I talk a little bit about Abu Dhabi and why I didn't go to the Ferrari place there. On TikTok, I'm not going to get too much into Manchester right now I went from Sydney, saw the Opera House, from Perth to Sydney. I was able to see the Opera House before heading out Then to Manchester and I'll just do like little episodes on those things. And then, if you want to know about abu dhabi, because many people were asking that's on tiktok and eventually I'll do it on here too.

Speaker 1: 7:45

Um, and then went into jfk and as soon as I got into jfk and I was, I was not feeling great, I was just tired, um, and whatever it was they did to me, or if it was like the MS spectrum, I don't know. Someone else said that's not the correct term that they use. It's, um, who knows, my doctor might have been dumbing it down, but it's MS, intermittent remittance, something, um, I don't know, because I didn't trust them at that point, quite honestly, and I stopped going, remember, after the bad spinal attack, um, but so I still didn't know. And, and in Australia, remember, they said that they thought it might be fibromyalgia. So I don't know what it is at this point. I just know I'm fucking tired, um, by the time I get to JFK, and as soon as I get into JFK, all the power goes out, everything. Imagine JFK with no power. They eventually got the generators going as I was going through customs. So I don't know. It was just very strange.

Speaker 1: 8:51

I've flown in and out of JFK dozens of times, um, probably not hundreds, but dozens of times easy um, and never seen anything like that. We had to go a whole different way to scan our passport, but I don't know, um, but in that whole mess they ended up losing a lot of luggage, and mine was amongst it, and so I ended up staying um looking for luggage, because all I have is my, what I have on my back, and that's my puppy ashes. My puppy had some toys that I carried, my Bible, some pictures of my puppies. I mean nothing of. There's not a pair of underwear in there, there's not anything to change into, and so I hang out at jfk it's kind of in, because it's hot too, um, they're not running a lot of air conditioning on the generators, um, so we're all just waiting for our luggage laying around, um, for what felt like forever, um, and then finally it was like I can't keep waiting, I need need to get to Puerto Rico, um, so I flew into San Juan without my stuff and stayed in San Juan. They ended up finding it after a couple days and so it delayed me to getting over to the west side.

Speaker 1: 10:13

Uh, but it worked out. Got cheap rooms by the airport, ended up getting my luggage back and um got the same one, and then got over to aguada, which was the first place, um, and you're seeing the people on tiktok. I love it. It's home, man, all of those videos, um, and lives and stuff that you see from the beach, that's all like within, not very far, but very easily walking distance. I try to point it out to you. But of where I, where the only place I've ever felt like was my home, um, and a really great experience, and where I got paloo, so right on that beach that you see on TikTok. Now, remember I had gone from. I was getting paid $500 an hour for me, plus all of the lawyers that were in there, plus, plus, plus, plus plus. We had all got real fucking spoiled to now. I'm broke, almost coming into Puerto Rico, but I ended up meeting my neighbor, jamie, and Brian. Brian ended up dying after the hurricane. Um, we'll talk about that at some point.

Speaker 1: 11:29

I'm not wanting to talk about it right now, but Jamie is one of the most coolest individuals that you'll ever meet and if you looked at her you would say what are you talking about? Um, you'd be like she's a little bit crazy. She's um, she has seizures, she don't have no money. Uh, she's from louisiana, love jamie.

Speaker 1: 11:56

Jamie would go out there on that beach that I show you, with a little piece of chicken on a string and a net and she'd go crabbing Just like that. Everybody else would put out crab pots with, like, the heads of dead fish that they had caught. Not Jamie man. She'd have a sangria in one hand, probably a pouch of sangria in one hand. Sangria in one hand, probably a pouch of sangria in one hand, probably the net hooked somewhere into, like where her bra is. And um, got chicken on a little string, getting those crabs and she caught them. But, um, and then you can go over to Crash Boat Beach, which is awesome. It's one of my favorite places in the world too, and you could get lobster over there. So if you're a good free diver, you could do it. I don't like going down that far, but anybody will go down and get them for you and literally pull them out.

Speaker 1: 13:05

So I learned when I first got to puerto rico that to have fresh crab, fresh fish, fresh lobster, um, all of the fruit that organically grows on the island then there's a thing that grows we called it breadfruit that you could do anything. That you would do with like potatoes, from mashed potatoes to like french fries, to whatever. But you buy a little bit of rice, maybe a couple beans, for a couple bucks, and you were in really, really good shape. And if you couldn't afford sangria, probably one of the locals had fermented all of these fruits. And I don't remember what they call it. They have a specific name, but, man, I'd fuck you up.

Speaker 1: 13:44

So every single night, well, every morning, the guys would go out fishing, do their crab pots, do whatever Me, jamie and the girls would kind of wake up. Jamie was kind of the center of that part, and then there were other people. I was super poor, not trying to stand out at all. I've been called the tall poppy in Australia. I'll tell you about that, but it'll break you pretty quick. You get called it enough tall poppy, um. So I was trying not to be a tall poppy when I first got to um Puerto Rico. So I'm first got to Puerto Rico, so I look like maybe I used to be something, but not for a while.

Speaker 1: 14:35

But so everybody do their stuff during the day and then before it, you know, as it started getting later, jamie would collect everything that everyone had to donate to dinner, whoever caught fish or crab or lobster or um, if somebody bought meat or whatever. And then, because she's from louisiana, she loved cooking um and she would make, like always a jambalaya style something, regardless of what it was. And the only times that I didn't eat with those guys was when nobody caught anything and there was no meat. They would use iguana and I'm like, no, I don't want that. They'd have the dogs go catch an iguana. Like, yeah, I'm good, or I'd pick around it, excuse me, but anyway, so totally awesome. I love puerto rico.

Speaker 1: 15:29

Um, I ended up selling. So to get by, I, I needed just a little over 20 a day, not much, and so I ended up making these little um hearts out of some resin, out of the sand on crash boat beach, and then I'd go city crash boat beach and just kind of send them out, and when people walk by they'd be like what's? And I'd tell them it's Sanford, right there, sell them for $5 or $10, and you're pretty good. Also, at least at the time, the phone plans were different. Like people would have to have a different phone plan and the ones that didn't want to when they came over for their vacation but still, like, needed to check their email and stuff like that. Remember that was would have been like 2017 ish, 16, 17 ish, um, I'll check my tickets and upload them to the subscribers on tiktok so we can see the exact things together. But anyway, um, I'd also put out a little sign that says check your email. Won't let your kids play on my phone plan. Because I had a hotspot for like five or ten bucks, so it wasn't too tough to make that twenty dollars a day. And then they sold beers for a dollar a beer and they were just cold, so anything extra, you could have a couple beers and have a great time.

Speaker 1: 16:43

Um, that is when I wasn't quite sure what I was going to do and Google had the developer program. They were trying to keep up with Apple and they didn't have enough developers, and so they started advertising that for $25, they'd let you go through their courses that taught you how to be a developer, and then you could get certified for life. And so I had a first-generation iPad, because the only thing I had that would work. I left all my computers and stuff in Australia. I didn't know how long it was going to take me to get around the other half of the globe and how much energy it was going to take. So they're still in Australia.

Speaker 1: 17:25

But anyway, puerto Rico is awesome. The reason that I ended up leaving. I would have stayed here a long time. Now I did start seeing that there was more gang stalking once I got here. The white people on the island started saying that woman is on our island, like. It became more clear that because, remember, I was okay in Australia. It was tough, they had fucked up immigration, but I didn't go through any of that type stuff, except the extra vote that I had to go through and the immigration lady with the tax thing. But they were fine before that tax thing. That was on the way out the door. But once I got here it was clear.

Speaker 1: 18:09

But it was also funny because, uh, my friend remember my friend that did the grain boat he was just coming into town when I got here. I'd been here a couple of days and then he got here and he's like all right, let's go have a drink. And so we went out and had a drink and, um, sit and talking to the people at the bar, just shooting the shit, and the person two people, two people over, uh was a nice lady and we're talking and she's like, your voice sounds familiar. And I laughed and said, well, I used to do my radio ads. Oh, my god, I thought so.

Speaker 1: 18:38

So her boyfriend, she said you don't look the same. I'm like no, she came in when I still was a little bit. Well, I've been never thin but chunkier on and off throughout this, depending on how many Starbucks mochas, extra whip who would you stop that I've had or sodas Coca-Cola is a horrible addiction, so it does depend on that. But she's like you don't look the same. I'm like. Oh, because I had to have my hair like a lawyer then I was still trying to fit in, I was still a little more chunky, because my office was about carl's cookies and starbucks, and she's like oh, I'm like you're talking to me like you know a lot about us. She's like, yeah, I came in with my boyfriend, um, I was with him when we talked to you and you told us all of how it was going to happen, and then, um, we hired you and you got it dismissed, exactly like you said it would happen. She's like I saw what they did to you, and I was always worried about you and wondered about you and prayed for you. So I'm glad to see you're okay. Um, so that was nice, but there was equally as many crappy people. The local people were often Just not the white ones.

Speaker 1: 19:59

So what ended up happening, though, was Irma came. That was before Maria. The herd came before Maria, and it took out the power to the entire island, and I didn't know when it was going to come back on, and at that point, people that said they were my friends and who I believed were my friends, saw that I might actually be worth a little bit of money again with these app things, so they jumped right on that, flew me back to the States so they could be board members. We'll talk about that individual. It was an app called Two for fun, um, and it will probably get started again. It was a great idea and it was estimated to be worth um from this company in texas, um, uh, over 50 million dollars. So we'll get back, we'll do that again, but anyway. So they flew me back to seattle so I could keep working on this and that's when Maria hit. So I lost some of my stuff over on the island at that time and I lost friends, for sure, and I lost a part of my heart, my head and my soul, but I wasn't physically here. But that's when I had to decide what I was going to do.

Speaker 1: 21:11

Next. Let me tell you about that Time in Seattle, time in Imperial Beach, California, time in Pullman, washington, and then we ended up driving on down to Cabo. So we have more fun stuff to go. Thank you everyone. Thank you for being here. I appreciate you. My name is Heidi and this is the Surviving Changes Podcast.
