Hello and thanks for stopping by! You might notice I have a bit of everything here. I started this channel to document my life abroad and share my honest opinions/reviews of books, products, services, companies, and even social media. I have lived in the Dominican Republic since 2020, and before that, I lived in Honduras working as a TEFL teacher. Sometimes I make videos in Spanish depending on the audience I want to reach, but most of the time, my videos are in English. Recently, I’ve been inspired by minimalism and therefore some of my videos touch on that. This year might bring a lot of changes, so I hope you’ll stay tuned for the ride!
Pack with me for a visit to the US! | putting my minimalism to the test
Join me for a chatty packing session for my trip back to the US for a month! Can I fit everything in just a carry-on? Watch to find out!

Wow Interesting!!😍🤩🤩
Wow beautiful video!!
Wow Great!!😍😍
Did you upgrade to the “privilege or preferred”?
Ummm... Christianity in both the U.S. and the D.R. has heavily been influenced by the culture. More so in the U.S. But in the D.R. there is more ignorance of God. A lack of Knowledge of Who God is. The D.R. like many latin countries is very Roman Catholic which is according to chapter 25 of the Westminister Confession of Faith the Anti Christ. And when it comes to Protestantism, its not Reformed which is ironic since there is a Bible on the flag. Pentacostal is technically Baptist. But its highly emotional and feelings based. Not led by Truth. There are a few Reformed Churches in Santo Domingo but not many.
Havent seen the video yet and I'll will but just before let me say...YES YOU CAN! If you dont fall in the living in the center on capital city which is absurd the amount you pay like if you see any house price in USD they are scamming you, cause I live 4 kms away from center and I pay 200$ for a 3 room house which is like 190m2, I know some people like the living like a king life but the minimun wage here is just 400$
How do you change the language to English on the app?
Thanks for sharing. But yes, that's living frugally. 😂 I used to live in Mallorca and USA and I came back to my country (DR)... I think my quality of life has improved, even though I make less money. 😅
I’m from DR

Thanks for your review, going there in September for my birthday
Hope you have an awesome birthday trip!! 🥳 Thanks for watching!
Nice ❤
Thank you 😊
Oh my ... hahahaha
😅😅😅
: )
Thanks for sharing. You look pretty. I hope you can become better again from your cold. Your luggage looks very heavy haha. Safe travel. : )
Thank you so much! I appreciate it 🙏🏻😊
Nice
Thanks! :)
Muy bien
Gracias!
I live in Santo Domingo. You can go that cheap but I usually spend about 2k a month to live like a king.
🤩😱🍦🍦🍦🍦
😍
Una locura 😮
I guess anyone can retire there with just social security checks from the USA
Yes just pick cheap provider in non residencial area like me 😂❤
On a path towards basic fluency, what would you say are the 5 or so most useful/practical tenses to learn? Thanks
Only 5 aren’t going to be enough unfortunately
This is a good question! Learning all the Spanish tenses and conjugations can be a lot to take on. I would suggest focusing on simple present, present progressive, preterite, imperfect, and future. Once you get those down, you should be able to maneuver basic conversations until you can learn the rest. Hope this helps!
Really appreciate your honest review. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
im moving to DR end of next year, im preparing and have a plan. ive been going for vacation for 5 years now. i have very good pension so im 85% sure im looking foward to living good out there in puerto plata. im bringing my dad with me too and he gets social security. im looking to spend at most 1k a month for a 2 bed or 3 bedroom home
Great vid!
Thanks!
Thanks. It was nice to watch. You look beautiful. I liked the words Frugar and Bobo and Amalitos which meant little friends. I speak English as my second learned language but I just studied Spanish for a year in my college days. I remember a few words. I just say a few words mostly like gracias, bien, muy bien, bonita mostly. I like a few songs in Spanish. Thanks for your video. Have a nice day : )
Thank you so much! That’s awesome that you got the chance to study some Spanish. Thanks for sharing! 🤗
Thank you : )
Food is very expensive in the Dominican Republic and some Overheads as well. The only thing that is cheaper is rent. However everything else is expensive
Buen video
Gracias!
great, I liked it
Thank you 😊

Thanks!
" Ya" can also mean "I agree."
Good point!

I love how your face lit up when you found the last stuffing box ☺. I know the feeling, un abrazo de Las Terrenas!
Haha it was such a good feeling 🤗 un abrazo!
Do you have to get the birth certificate translated before it is apostille??
Nope, I had it apostilled first, then translated in the DR.
Thank you for including the (and get your birth certificate back) lol I married my Dominican husband here in Santo Domingo April 2nd I was questioning about getting my birth certificate back 😅
Congratulations on your marriage!! I'm so glad to hear that was helpful and that I wasn't the only one questioning that part! 😅
The dominicans like most countries even the US dont report their crimes. It doesnt help them in any way. Also most rural towns and villages around the world have their families or some local acting as the mayor. Theyre not reporting crimes even within the country so well never know the true crime rate or which countries more dangerous unless theres civil unrest civil war or global war between countries
Which lawyer did you use?
Great video!
God bless, new subscriber here❤!
Amen, thank you! 🤗
that's interesting that they don't listen to bachata because that mostly love songs or about heartbreak ..... I totally understand dembow as the lyrics are more vulgar ! but bachata is like more romantic
Yes, I think it's more nuanced than just avoiding entire genres of music
You need to prepare a competition with your husband dancing hip-hop. It will be really funny 😅
Hahaha that would be hilarious 🤪
Thanks for sharing. It was nice to know. It was helpful to know about different cultures. You look beautiful. Congratulations for being married. I hope you have a good and wonderful marriage. : )
Thank you so much! I'm glad it was helpful. I appreciate it! 🤗
You're welcome : )
