Watch this video to know the cost of my flight from Miami to Punta Cana, Immigration for Indians in Punta Cana, the bitter experience I had at Punta Cana Airport because of the taxi operators and how finally did I get successful to get an Uber at Punta Cana Airport!

ABOUT ME
I'm Varun.
I am a full-time traveller now (yes, I quit my job to follow my dreams). I love solo travelling & meeting people. After travelling extensively in Incredible India for years, I stepped out of my country and realised, how beautiful the world is! I started making travel web series in Hindi full of travel tips and tricks, especially for budget travel and sustainable tourism. My dream is to inspire people to explore this beautiful world and learn the best things to make our world a better place to live in. I was awarded the prestigious 'National Tourism Award' by the Government of India for my contributions in the field of promotion of Tourism. Thanks to my viewers, because of whom now I get invitations from across the globe to visit their places and show them to the world.

He's not underrated lol he's quite popular

He's quite popular brother

he isnt underrated, he has the most subscribers for traveling blog. so you are new here.
Wish this videos had subtitles, I wanna fully understand your impressions and experience in my country. Always welcome to my island 🏝️🇩🇴
You live in a gorgeous country
Nice. Such things are common all across. Even the taxis in our Goa are creating similar problems to app based taxis.
The Taxi guys are a big problem. They do not like you even if you are driving your own car.
Their is a very big taxi mafia in Goa.
There isn’t any app based taxis in Goa
Same problem i faced at dehradun airport

Bro so sorry smh, I'm dominican and there's been huge fighting between cabs n ubers. A couple week's ago deal was made but doesn't look like it got better. Hope your stay is better than that first expirience. Don't be too intimidated they can be aggressive but most back down once you look at them and tell them no thank you or saying no money no tip lol they will leave you alone in a quickness.🤣
Brother I know not all people of Dominic republic are same, few are bad like taxi drivers but, still local people or security person's should be there to help if something goes wrong, here in India, if something happens like this with tourist, Co passengers, or locals come to help tourist and protect them from such bad ass people's, whole story gives message to people that your country is not safe for tourism as well as people are not well mannered, instead of laughing what happen with him, you guys should try to stop this nonsense happen on your airports.
Daniel just curious, since you're Dominican how did you understand the video which is in Hindi and there are no subtitles either. Do you understand Hindi?
@@anamaykane9355 same question
@@rajMH1654 all sorts of incidents may happen anywhere in the world including India. tourist has reported many bad experiences in India too such as scammers, rape, and other cases that have been reported through international media. You got to be understanding, taxi vs uber is a new issue/ conflict coming up, not only in DR but also in the US and Canada. otherwise, Mumbai and Delhi taxi scammers are notorious in the world. fyi if you have never heard of the Dominican Republic in India it doesn't mean the rest of the world doesn't know about DR --- DR is one of the most famous and visited destinations for vacationers and tourists in North America and Europe. plus DR medical schools are famous among International Students. many International students come here for studies without any trouble cuz they know the system
@@anamaykane9355 no I don't it speak hindi, understood little bits. I've worked with hindi speakers for a few years and kinda picked up on little things from hearing them speak and me butting in asking hey did you say this lmao.
its good brother, you dealt the taxi guy very smartly while stay calm, and diplomatic, hope you have a wonderful time there
After Watching Your Experience With Taxi Mafia's 😒😒 .But Your This Experience Is Going to Guide thousands of people .Bade Bade Sahro Me Ye Choti Choti Baate Hoti Rahti Hai .

Thank GOD you handled this situation very cleverly.

In Israel the taxi lobby got Uber kicked out of the country . We have local uber version cheaper by 10-15% but atleast the prices are fixed.
Same at our airport . You have to go back on 1st floor and exit and you can take local uber taxis. Rarely tourist are aware of this option.

And nomad shubham also..
धन्यवाद वरुण . आप के द्वारा दी गई सारी जानकारी उत्तम और सरल होती है. भाषा भी बहुत शिष्ट और मनमोहक होती है. इसी लिए मैं आपकी वीडियो देखता हूं.
Don't know if anyone pointed out, but Miami is not in fact Florida's capital city as briefly mentioned little after 4:00 minute mark. It is Tallahassee. As it is usually found in USA, major and important city of the state are not the capital cities. Like in New York too, it is Albany, not New York city. In California, it is not Los Angeles, but Sacramento, etc., Just wanted to clarify. Your videos are truly enjoyable and informative, your demeanor is gentle and non invasive. Thank you for taking us along with you at no cost to us even as the world is locked down due to COVID.
These kind of problems are common everywhere. Example.. in Sealdah Station in Kolkata similar problems occur everyday. But the way you handle these problems teaches us a lot.
Anyway I hope your rest of the trip was good.
Stay safe and take care Varun ji. 🙂

Also please add in if you could meet any Korean star or group .....or the television buildings like kbs MBC SBS etc
Your way of talking is very good. Superb sir
Keep moving like that
Please keep adding the views of airport and flights especially of night it was so beautiful to see it and it was really a bad experience and why there was no security or officials present there in most of the airport they are present this was very disappointing but we have to keep ourselves calm and composed. You can also ask them for proofs or their ids maybe they would not have it but let's forget whatever happened and enjoy the trip.
The main reason I liked every video is only that word peace.
You are the best vlogger of india🇮🇳
You video quality is getting better.... Crystal clear 😅👍🏻
When I visited Goa for the first time with my friends, after reaching airport we got to know that Uber Ola is not allowed in Goa. Which is very disappointing. The taxi owners force these app based cab to shut down, so that they can run their price accordingly.
Yes I know that's horrible! And they charge like anything, we had fixed fare according to airport rate card and we were still charged 200 Extra
Use Goa miles aap based taxi in Goa
@@mubarakballary2323 goa miles ka toh protest chalu hai filhal wo bhi band hone wala hai
Dude that's nothing. I tried getting other taxi at little bargain at karmali station in Goa, when I was talking to the private taxi driver 2 local taxis came rushing. They stopped the car on middle of the road to create a show. They literally started beating nd slapping the other guy. We kept trying to stop nd stop those local guys from fighting but literally like hitlers they forced us to pay 1200 for 25 kms and left us with no options. This is a mess. 🤐🤐
I didn't know such mafias operate in cities which have good reputation like Goa 😵 shameful

Dear Varun, you are a very positive person, keep travelling and keep showing world to us.
2:40 as I ve already told you nothing is impossible for you as lady luck n The Almighty is with you. U got it what u wanted i.e window seat.

At least they should have served coffee with biscuits 🤦♀️ aadduuu's are every where. Even in India too. the best way to tackle this situation just ignore them or just make some excuse to get rid of them. Sometimes they annoy so much which makes you angry but u can't deal with anger as things will get worse. It's a little experience of part of ur journey. Every steps there is something to learn. You handled the situation with patience that's the biggest weapon u ve. That what makes you best Travel legend. 😊❤
