The Country with the BEST Mental Wellbeing 🇩🇴

Read the Mental State of the World 2023 Report by Sapiens Lab: mentalstateoftheworld.report/...
According to this report, I live in the country with the greatest mental wellbeing! Today I share how living here in the Dominican Republic has impacted my mental health and mental wellbeing and why you won't be happy if you move here (hear me out). This will be the first part in a series discussing how moving abroad or living abroad changed my life.

Very importan, I din't know all this point

[@guiller2371]

I think the drama of cultural competition instead of gladly turning your lemons into lemonade makes a huge difference.
It's all about celebrating everything while treating everyone as another human being.

Agree!

good insight, i enjoyed this vlog... salute! 🍻 going to Santiago tomorrow and considering dual citizenship so i'll be trying to test the waters a bit to making moving plans, your channel helped. Question, any experience yet with trying out ethical massage spas or is that non existent in DR? I'm a licensed therapist here in Miami and wondering if starting a massage biz in DR is a good idea but i also know how bad the prostitution issue is over there so idk 🤔

Hello! I’m glad to hear my channel has helped. I don’t have any experience trying out massage spas, so I’m afraid I can’t offer you much insight in that area. I think they do exist, and I’ve also seen ladies on the beach who walk around offering massages or hair braiding. Hope your trip goes well! Best wishes!

En República Dominicana la familia es tan importante que los hijos nunca se van de la casa de sus papás, en el sentido de que tienen que ver o hablar con ellos por lo menos 3 veces a la semana.

[@kara.g.]

Ya tu sabes, y en los EE.UU. *quizás* los hijos van para visitarles en la navidad o el día de acción de gracias si no viven en la misma ciudad 🫢

[@crazypeopleoutthere]

@@kara.g. Aquí los hijos nunca se mudan lejos de sus padres ya que la mamá se vuelve la niñera de sus nietos en muchos casos

[@evelincruz5966]

Asi es y casi siempre SE Casan pero buscan una casa cerca de la casa materna para siempre estar en contacto dandose apoyo de hecho casi todos fuimos criados por nuestros padres y abuelos y somos familia numerosas.
