I loved this video! Watched the entire thing! One of the most important points you make is about the food... Yo! The food in the United States is getting worse and worse every year. Thats why we have so many people with gut health issues, that is linked to obesity, depression and anxiety. Gut health is so underrated and not talked about! Please make more videos about the difference in quality of food in the US vs DR. I'd love to hear how the food has changed your life. Excited to see more!
@@12567NoYouCannot You can find good food anywhere in the US, but have to get VERY intentional about it and spend almost double of what would be your regular food budget. All my family (and myself), and every Dominican I know that travels even for a few months to the US, gains a lot of weight immediately, and it has nothing to do with poverty, these are people basically traveling for tourism and studying. When I go back to the DR my change in health is very noticeable.
I'm so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed forever. I'm a single mother living in Vancouver Canada, bought my first house in October and hoping to retire soon if things keep going smoothly for me.
Compare a 65-70 year old American to a Dominican of the same age and you'll think they were gym rats all their lives. They walk better, have more energy and still want to go out to the beach, rivers and participate in social gatherings. Many of them ---no pills or medication! The food and sun helped them!
Congratulations on making the move! If you are in Santiago on the 31st of August you should come out to the Social Event i'm hosting and meet others who have recently moved or locals of the island.
People sleep on the safety … you laid it out. Especially the political tension!! We JUST experienced being confronted with the politics minutes after we arrived in the U.S. for a vacation.
Hey, you two should do a video together. And, I have a question: If someone is not Dominican or married to someone who is Dominican, are there born and raised or well cultured people, who can help expats? Someone who they can hire to help them navigate government offices/banks etc. That has been my biggest fear LOL. I'm learning Spanish but I don't know if it's going to be enough. And are there Expat classes around to help connect people and help educate people etc? I have watched many videos and feel I have a good grasp on what to expect.
@@TruthFirst005 Jaime and I will definitely create something in the future. Hopefully you can come out to one of the monthly social events I host around the island so that you can meet and ask others who live or moved here recently questions you may have
We bought a villa in the campo by bonao city. There the water comes from the mountains, fresh and with a lot of minerals, the view of mountains from our house is amazing I love it and I pray to God that we can move there soon .
I love this video! I was born in DR, raised in Bronx, NY since age 4. I go visit 2-3 times a year and I come back feeling and realizing everything you said. The middle class there definitely lives and feels good. The food is real, the family time & work balance is beautiful & not found in the U.S. Safety depends where you live and the rest and mental health is top notch! 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
@@angelsantiago8990 Thanks! I didn't think so although I've never been to the DR... I think adults are making decisions for themselves and not really considering the long term effect on children. Moving from Florida to Texas is one thing but another country as a child 😞
I’m a retired marine , after I raised my kids and retired from New York to florida after 4 years I now want to move Santo Domingo or punta Cana , we haven’t decided yet , we like the fact that they have veteran clinics , also that the cost of living it’s a lot cheaper than Williams island where I live and I’ll be able to save money to travel and to have a better quality of life .
Much respect and thank you for sharing. It’s awfully ironic to hear people who’s ancestors are not native to the U.S. telling others to “go back to their country” only to then be outraged to see so many people voluntarily leaving for other countries. On a better note, peace & love to you and your family! 💯🙏🏾
Very happy for you and your family, thinking of retirement in the DR, I absolutely love the fact that it seems like the tide has changed in the DR, And I really like the aspect of being able to help and be a part of something that’s growing and changing…
I took my kids from London to the DR while they were growing up and they had a blast & learned the language . I helped shoe shiners and street kids get schooling and did outreach to remote communities and we loved it. But because we lived in a campo we moved back to the UK when they required secondary education. We will never forget the wonderful relationships we formed and I visit every year.
Honestly I would be pretty sad going from DR to London, coming from someone whos from the NYC area, I can't stand the weather here in the winter and I'm sure its not so different over in the UK. Hope yall make it back one day though!
Very true what you said about the quality of food in the Dominican Republic. Yes, everthing you eat is 100% organic including the animals and seafood. You can even smell the food as you are walking and the fresh fruits and vegetables. You can get a real coconut water from 70 pesos (one dollar and 10 cents ), big coconuts. Mangos, oranges, and many fruits you can see them in the wild. Yes your health changes once you live in the DR. When I eat rice, beans and meat in USA its okay, but when you eat that in the DR you can tell there is a big difference in the taste. Good video and enjoy your stay in the DR. I will be retiring there like in 4 years.
You make it seems as if the DR is a hidden paradise on earth. Im beginning to believe it bc there other vids like this one assumably showing the difference between the USA and DR. Finding a spot on this globe with a multitude of ppl on it where there is no violence at all would be a dream for some or hard to find. The USA is a violent country bc we love violence. Unfortunately its in our blood passed down through the ages or from gene to gene. Many cities (concrete jungle) are ran by gangsters and tyrants. Looking for trouble. Dont come to us. Lol.
I'm from Dominica 🇩🇲 and I most say I can relate to almost everything you said on here. My country is also known for being the nature isle of the Caribbean.
The middle class in the united states 🇺🇸 is disappearing very fast every year even as single person 🧍 no kids,wife ect making $85,000 plus a year doesn’t feel anymore middle class in such expensive places like new york, California,Florida ect, and some earning $30,000,$40,000 half of that previous income a year in DR🇩🇴lives way way far better like a king or queen with a very comfortable life
This is a real honest review of the DR. It appears that in a lot of countries, the roads are often dangerous. I bypassed the DR years ago due to negative RUclips reviews. I wish the DR had been my first stop!
When people get to the DR and they try carne guisada the first thing out of their mouth is "why the beef taste different?" it's because that beef that you're eating was butchered that day and it's grass fed beef. Same with our vegetable and fruits. Love my country and can't wait to retire there and spend my last days just walking the beach ❤❤❤
Soooo glad to see this video. We live in Austin, TX and also feel unsafe sending our kids to school every day which is the main driving factor for our move to the Dominican Republic aside from the living to work aspect of life here in the US
I'm Dominican. To succeed here is very possible If you know English you will always have a job in a call center guaranteed!!!!, From there you can expand and work in other areas like tourism. I'm glad that a lot of folks are realizing that is not hard move down here.
You have some haters here but oh well! You have great content & maybe that’s the reason! Anyways! It’s not only Dominicans moving back to their country, it’s a world wide thing! Ppl are tired of living paycheck to paycheck, high taxes, poison food, high living cost etc..etc…I love my country & can’t wait to leave for good too! I’ve never had any safety issues when I go there with my family! It’s like u say, it’s good and bad everywhere u go! Good luck & stay strong!
Thanks for sharing. Remember, haters will only hate on those doing positive things and many people want to see us stuck and not progress. Enjoy the content and new videos
very well put, me personally I spend half a year in Puerto Plata from December to June. then in June I come to the United States because of my close family and the outdoor activities that DR. does not offers. I do all my shopping in New York, and I ship all the items before I depart to DR. as of today August 2024 in my opinion the most reliable shipping company is "Salcedo Express. one of the things that I like about Puerto Plata is that everything is walking distance if you enjoy walking, and every street ends up in the coastal boulevard (El Malecon) it is one of the safest cities in DR. the whole city only has approximately 8 traffic lights, my may concern is the unrestricted and disorganized moto-taxi 95% of all accident are cause my them.
About 3 years ago I bought a luxury apartment in Los Cacicazgos. It's doubled in value and it's larger than my house in upstate NY. Lol. I am trying to get another couple of properties but they've all gone up in value so quickly. The real estate market is booming here. I do plan to retire there in about 10 years. I'm not Dominican but my wife is. We both suffer from Autoimmune diseases but whenever we're in the DR, our conditions improve and we don't have any symptoms. It's the strangest thing. It's either the food or the radiation back home in NY that's making us sick. Not sure which one it is but certain it's one or the other. It's crazy how much money is coming into the country now. There is one thing that concerns me though about the DR. I think it's becoming more "Americanized", especially with all the social media, materialism-wealth culture, and cosmetic surgery stuff, etc. I'm afraid that within the next decade or so, the country's morals will come down quite a bit.
Thanks for sharing your story, real estate is definitely booming and my health has improved overall and honestly attribute it to the food. As for the gentrification, I would have to agree. Many Dominicans/Americans are moving back and its either the husband or wife that is one or the other.
I solute you my friend for being aware, most people are sleep walking straight into full blown slavery in the US. I'm building my house in the countryside deep in the mountains as we speak, going to take back to the good old farming days God willing.
@@jgivesback yea man nothing is ever perfect, but its about prioritizing what is important to you. And I think family, quality of life and culture top the list for most people.
Spot on video about my beautiful DR not perfect like any other country but man food, the freedom, mental health, tons of beautiful beaches, rivers, forest. Everytime i'm there i don't want to comeback to states.😢
Well, I guess that means that You haven't TRAVELLED AROUND the WORLD and eaten in Great Restaurants, because when I went back to DR after 34 Years, the FOOD was a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT, and the LACK of HYGIENE at the RESTAURANTS and people's homes, plus the LACK of Hygiene at the Supermarkets, Homes, Apartments, and Restaurants left A LOT to be DESIRED. Ewwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@12567NoYouCannot why you come to DR after 34 years??? That's your problem right there lol. You can travel around the world and eat at great restaurants and work until you are 100 yrs old! Nothing wrong with that!
good deeds, you do the right thing. I don't know how and where this came from, something telling us to leave . between the tow I chose.......DR....paradise here.... I fell planted like a tree deeply rooted. I love you people...muchas bendiciones........
HAPPY FOR YOU!! 🥳🥳 It does sadden me that people (in general-not you) attribute homelessness with not feeling safe. So many videos speak on homelessness almost in a shameful manner, but don’t look at whose responsibility it is to make the life affordable for citizens. Everyone is one life situation away from being homeless. I look at the environment that created the homelessness. The richest country on earth, home to most of the world’s wealth, should not be having a homelessness crisis. It should not be having an addiction crisis, and it should not have the rates of gun violence that it does. The government should do for the people, otherwise why are the taxes going to them? Yes, there is a lot of tension and people need to just be better neighbors in America. It’s so toxic in the country. When someone points out a grievance, they should be considered for their points as well, and not disparaged or disregarded. Recognizing an uncomfortable truth can identify a problem before it becomes bigger than it needs to be. There is too much “us versus them” and Americans should work together to make it a livable country for all. 👍🇺🇸
Yes, it just makes me so sad 😞 . I graduated university, with honors in business. After searching for months, I was offered a job that paid less than $20 a hour. With the amount of student loan debt from university, AND cost of living how is one expected to stay afloat? Thankfully, I went to university on a “full ride”. However, there are tens of millions who have not been this lucky. Their debt is like a ball and chain that eventually can weigh them down. If you can’t pay rent, you get the boot 🥾. You may turn to poor coping methods while dealing with mental illnesses from the whole situation. Next thing you know someone is passing judgment on what you did or didn’t do in your life, just by glancing at you briefly on the side of the road. Sorry for the long winded message 😮💨. I wish to help and give to the poor. If Jesus is who people claim he was, I think he’d want us to help those in need. Good luck in the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 🙏.
there is one thing I found out. dominicans won't attack you unless you do some to them. nothing is perfect for sure, but here people are always attentive to each other needs, they share food, love, compassion, they protect each other. dominicans don't care if you are black, white, blue, violet, purple, red, yellow to come to your rescue. I love them. I have a year here, in my neighborhood everyone loves me. I share, compartir, I show them love understanding, they like me a lot. alway a dominican says to me for exemple" como sta hermano", dios le bendiga, como va la cosa. this makes me feel great, this makes me feel at home. I respect them. I respect the authority, I go by the rules.....looking for peace of mind....DR is the one. I said my high blood presure left.....since I am here. Peace, Peace, Peace.......Adelante quiskeyahnos.... la isla...hija de Dios
they discriminate Haitians that do they business on the street, and go to still in your house . and it just happens to be that the majority of Haitians are black
@@shayscott7498 first of all who put us there? Look at this like white people or other race did, if we put ourselves together will make a change. we are able to change both the narrative and the way "people" see us and look at us. its also depends on your own perception, your own definition about discrimination. my conduct, my speech, my body language determine and influence greatly the way another one may treat me. we don't talk about money, who can resist the power of knowledge? who can kick you out of the conference table when your reasoning goes beyond others, and makes sense. discrimination is every where, but here in DR I can't complain. If I want to end discrimination the way I understand it I have to be me, I must stand for something, represent something, how many times I found people telling me where do you learn spanish? How many times here people tell me why you sound different? God Bless! Bendiciones!
Absolutely. I'm a Canadian who is working on retiring to the DR. Love your content and it's helping my husband and I work through our process of making the DR our home.
You should do a walking video so we can see the nature in these videos. I’m moving in 2 months but to Thailand. I want to live my 20’s a free man and start a family some day in a better environment.
Thank you for sharing your story. I appreciate your perspective on safety in the Dominican Republic. It’s important to explain the difference between the domestic violence you can encounter in the DR to the violence in the US. In New York for example random attacks have become so frequent you cannot simply walk down the street let alone ride the subway without fear. There are alot of mental health services needed to help the community. It’s great to hear the Dominican Republic promises a safer environment.
Hey Jonah, your video got recommened to me(Probably because I DO live in Dominican Republic), and I just wanted to tell you that I find dunny how now here in DR we've got it better than in the US just with the flood of time, which made US not age well of course. The thing is that as a local who's lived here my whole 17 years of lifetime, lemme tell ya that I appreciate that people like you who've come here help us in the things we lack little by little at a time, and also glad you're enjoying yourself too. I've suscribed, and greetings from Santo Domingo Norte!! glad we got people like you here.
Thank you for those words! As a Dominican myself who was raised abroad, my dream was always to live on the island although many people tried to discourage me. I’m glad I made the jump for my family, and years later not one ounce of regret
I'm glad you accomplished your dream, man! and thank YOU for what you've done for us! take care, and to finish this reply to your reply, lemme tell you that lately, scam calls have been more common to anyone that pretty much has a bank account. Be careful of some unknown number through whatsapp or direct phone calls, claiming to be your insurance service or whatever they claim you have contracted. Be really really careful! wish ya the best homie, take care, and stay safe!
We're getting ready to leave here very soon we only got a couple more months and we're out here me and my wife daughter and mom are leaving Babylon USA as well selling everything and getting rid of everything we're going to the Caribbean Islands Jamaica
Facts middle class Dominicans and many other nationalities in the Americas don't leave their country. My favorite thing about the DR? The joy in the people.
Oh my God! What an awesome video. Thank you so much. We are forgetting what life is in the US because we are focused on that next pay check just to cover expenses. The US is definitely not what it used to be. People better think twice before moving to the US
I’ve visited many times and the trash is very upsetting. During the time I’ve spent there, it’s clear a better system is needed. With a clear system in place, litter would likely decline. The litter is out of control in many areas.
Great video. I’m a fellow Dominican. Right now I am about to leave medical residency and start practicing indecently. Will love to go back to DR, but definitely won’t make even 30% of what I can make here as a doctor. Planning to be going back and forth on a monthly basis tho. So planning to pile cash and then spend most of my time there.
I grew up in Texas and left 7 years ago. Everything you said is spot on about the issues in Austin and US generally and why I decided to leave, since I had the choice at the time. I'm grateful for the opportunity my family and I had as refugees, but too much has changed for the worse. The US is a good place to make money and leave once you've saved enough in order to save your life.
This is why I say that if you survive driving in DR, you are capable of driving anywhere in the planet. Anyone wants to learn how to drive...FOR REAL...send them to DR. Lol! I also agree with you 100% with the garbage situation. It still amazes me that they haven't figure out how to get that situation fixed. Great content.
hey like the video and quick question how many year have you live in Santo Domingo . try to do the move myself too. everything you say in the video is correct . would like know how your friend is doing that had cancer ,my prayers go out to her hopefully she getting the treatment she needs .
Thanks for the support! I have been here going on almost 4 years. Hope the videos I will be releasing helps answer any questions. Thanks for the well wishes for Yesica
Bro when you mentioned kids were treated well? I felt a sense of hope. Kids here in the US are treated like a hindrance. You live definitely in a place to raise kids. I’ll add this country to my list.
Lovely video and I have had that sort of idea too when I get older, but I have heard some crazy stuff about the education there and the people who are in it. I don't know if its different now because these stories are from my parents who were born there and lived there up to 20+ years ago but I have heard stories about very corrupt teachers and administrators and circumstances where they would have to go out of their way to get something simple done because these teachers and administrators weren't letting them for some odd reason, and I would not like to put my future children through that, so anything on that would be helpful. Thanks! Side note, I had just been there for the majority of August haha.
Lol thats random i just sold 3 properties in D.R. to buy a nicer home in FL. I do plan to buy a home in Mexico. I fibd it better than D.R. but its a nice island. Find happiness good luck and God Bless
I am thinking about it too. I am 51 and in 7 years I will retire. I am from Puerto Rico, but is more expensive than living in the states. Living in the US is a joke with all these nonsense about car, home and specially health insurance! My concern is the police. They are very corrupt!
the DR is DIRTY, EXPENSIVE, full of RUDE people, two-faced people, the kids Are Rude, terrible roads and driving, People and Restaurants DO NOT CLEAN their Homes and toilets (especially!) is SO GROSS. CRIME is BAD in DR.
I left the US twelve years ago and don't plan on ever moving back. I have a better quality of life, better education system for my kids and I don't have to pay like $2k on health insurance every month for the family or worry about my kids getting shot. I left without a second residency or second passport. I'm not bashing the US, just stating facts. I've been able to save and buy and house abroad, which I likely would never have been able to do in the US. The "wait until the next election" mentality is keeping the US down.
@@jgivesback Australia, which is also very expensive but you get more for the money and the quality of life is better. Even though house prices are also crazy here, we were able to save more than we could in the US because things like the huge health insurance cost isn't needed.
@@jgivesback I know my friend, it’s amazing to go to the restaurant and order whatever fruit grows there and watch them put it in a blender and ask you do you want milk or ice added.
I was born in Santo Domingo, DR and was raised between NY and Santo Domingo, but I left DR for good in 1987. I went back to DR in 2022 and DEEPLY REGRET IT. I wasted MY MONEY making a Trip there. I will never forget at the Airport how a Dominican Woman treated, a woman who works there; She was hateful, Bitter, and TOXIC, I don't understand where the HATE was coming from; the Bitter female who works at Aeropuerto de Las Americas in Santo Domingo was inside a Booth and She saw my US Passport and She was talking to me with DISRESPECT & DISGUST as if She felt ENTITLED to diminish me with her attitude, and I didn't have time to discuss with her or Report her. PLUS, the dominican people in DR treated me very Badly and Poory, and "family friendly" HA, HA, HA, I don't THINK SO, that is A LIE.
Im trying to do the same. I’m working on a masters in computer science at Northeastern university. Once I’m done I want to move to Jarabacoa or Constanza.
In fact most rich and richest people from LATAM( 99%) really became rich in their own country too even though I think that this materialst mentality is wrng but this show how is not really that people living in the states became rich. Even the estadundenses live pay check to check, how this is a rich people if they live like that and even don’t have houses either
@@jgivesback Considering the history between DR and Haiti and my experience as someone who grew up around a lot of Dominicans in New England...I wouldn't be surprised if both exist there. I know for a fact that colorism is a thing in that culture. The DR, like many latin cultures have a derogatory term to describe a black person. My ethnic group does not have a bad word for any race or ethnicity...yet most of them have one for us and I never understood that.
You have what you have because of the United States don't take it for granted we have the best government in the world it's not perfect and I don't agree with a lot of policies but that's it. Because the opportunity did the United States gives people be careful what you wish for you have a little money now that's what happens
Opportunity is created by an individual, not a country lets be clear. If thats the case then why isn't everyone well off there? Just by your statement of being the best government in the world, I can tell you have drank to much of the propoganda juice
Why would you leave the United States? It’s the land of the free. Please spare me with the typical comments about current events. It’s bigger than just going to another country. Good for him I guess. But, you can tell he’s a foreigner to some degree. Listen, this is one of those instances where I encourage viewers of this video to use their own brains. This man moved. Good for him. But, don’t be a follower. Again, he went back to his country. He said it out of his mouth. If America is your country don’t be so quick to jump ship.
“Land of the Free” don’t make me laugh. It’s the land where cops shoot you in your own home, where most have to work 50 plus hours to live comfortably, where taxes are high and social benefits are minimal, where cost of living is out of control, where corporations have completely run amuck, where every form of speech and media is censored. Aside from the right to own guns and be a religious nut, what the hell is so free about this country?
(Genesis 49:4-7: The Descendents of the Tribe of Simeon, Nation of Israel lives in the Dominican Republic their ancestors came to the Americas as stated in 2 Esdras 13:39-58 as part of the Northern Kingdom out of Syria. They Share a land mass with their brother, the Tribe of Levi (Haitians..... read Malachi Chapter 2 for why they are in a low estate). While you are there do no dabble in their instruments of cruelty (Santeria and Voodoo). Read the Pseudepigrapha on the 12 Patriarch (Simeon) and you will know about his Children. DR is close to the Island of Cuba who indigenous inhabitants are the Tribe of Manassa and Puerto Rico who are the Tribe of Ephraim. The Tribe of Benjamin is also surrounding you in Jamica and other Caribbean Islands. You all are going to need each other because as the bible said in Jeremiah 30:7 everything that is happening in the world today is to trouble the Children of Jacob hence........ Jacobs Trouble. Love the Video.
Well Good for you and thank God that you and your family weren't around by the pandemic which think was the more crazy moments in the history of this country not even sept 11 was compere I'm planning to move back yo dominican rep. for many reasons we don't feel safe any more not matter where we go are exactly the same, and now the rent went up like we making 10 thousands dollars by monts, we can't afford, the rent insurance and food, and forget if you any mechanical problems oh inspections close the bill cycle we are done, and the other thing the vaccine isn't mandate but immediately you any intreview first thing they ask it,s if you Vax and if you aren't forget it about.
Brother brother brother.. As a Dominican I thank you for saying good things about our beautiful Dom Rep... But as a Dominican I will say that you need to tone it down with the praises. You are selling an UTOPIA and a lot of people will believe you. As a Dominican I will say that in Dom Rep you are and are treated, by what you have and own. Don't get me wrong, we are very supportive and friendly but money matters too much actually. Public Hospitals and health care is shit!!!! There's lot of mental health problems, suicides, etc due to financial issues. Public schools and education system is shit and the kids are rated some of the worst in the world. People are not chilled and carefree as you portray, quite the opposite, people stress too much with private school fees, medical bills,.... It's just a different country with the bad and the good... You moved back to Dom Rep, because you can afford it for the time being .. But when the honeymoon is over and shit hits the fan, you will have to hustle and work maybe harder than before, to keep up. Rd is a great country, but you are what you have and who you know. 😊😊😊
That’s not true!!! I’m Dominican and people in DR don’t stress about anything… they party everyday hay teteo a todas horas!!! Dominicans do care about money but let me tell you you won’t go hungry in DR siempre hay alguien que te da un plato de comida mientras que en Estados Unidos ni un vaso de agua bye amigo!!! Oshe a esté hablando tanta pleblA
Sir have always thought my life and my kids would be better once I get to America especially being a single mother i just thought life here is hard in Nigeria but right now coz it has been my greatest dream vut know i will just concentrate on working hard in other to finances my dream project in Guinea

I agree, I wish more people were informed about the food situation
Maybe where YOU LIVE in the USA the food is TERRIBLE, but NOT where I Live.
@@12567NoYouCannot Where is that?
And the financed those crap food in our countries( LATAM) to earn money and make our people sck
@@12567NoYouCannot You can find good food anywhere in the US, but have to get VERY intentional about it and spend almost double of what would be your regular food budget. All my family (and myself), and every Dominican I know that travels even for a few months to the US, gains a lot of weight immediately, and it has nothing to do with poverty, these are people basically traveling for tourism and studying. When I go back to the DR my change in health is very noticeable.
I'm so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed forever. I'm a single mother living in Vancouver Canada, bought my first house in October and hoping to retire soon if things keep going smoothly for me.
Cryptocurrency investment, but you will need a professional guide on that.

Is she really that good? I have seen lots of videos about her.
Compare a 65-70 year old American to a Dominican of the same age and you'll think they were gym rats all their lives. They walk better, have more energy and still want to go out to the beach, rivers and participate in social gatherings. Many of them ---no pills or medication! The food and sun helped them!
Well said!!!
Just moved to the DR today! Agree with so many points… God bless you and your family 🙏🏽🫶🏽
Congratulations on making the move! If you are in Santiago on the 31st of August you should come out to the Social Event i'm hosting and meet others who have recently moved or locals of the island.
Congratulations 🎉
People sleep on the safety … you laid it out. Especially the political tension!! We JUST experienced being confronted with the politics minutes after we arrived in the U.S. for a vacation.
People think I’m crazy when I mention safety. The political tension is out of control
Hey, you two should do a video together.
And, I have a question: If someone is not Dominican or married to someone who is Dominican, are there born and raised or well cultured people, who can help expats? Someone who they can hire to help them navigate government offices/banks etc. That has been my biggest fear LOL. I'm learning Spanish but I don't know if it's going to be enough. And are there Expat classes around to help connect people and help educate people etc? I have watched many videos and feel I have a good grasp on what to expect.
@@TruthFirst005 Jaime and I will definitely create something in the future. Hopefully you can come out to one of the monthly social events I host around the island so that you can meet and ask others who live or moved here recently questions you may have
@@jgivesback That would be awesome. I'll definitely look into it when I'm down there.

We bought a villa in the campo by bonao city. There the water comes from the mountains, fresh and with a lot of minerals, the view of mountains from our house is amazing I love it and I pray to God that we can move there soon .
Congratulations on the purchase, thats amazing!
I was born in Bonao but grew up in NYC. Sadly, I really don't know the motherland.
@@MonkeyhammerTP I grew up in the states. You still have time to get to know it, its never to late.

God willing Im moving back. Im building a pickleball court! Who wants to play pickleball in bonao?
I love this video! I was born in DR, raised in Bronx, NY since age 4. I go visit 2-3 times a year and I come back feeling and realizing everything you said. The middle class there definitely lives and feels good. The food is real, the family time & work balance is beautiful & not found in the U.S. Safety depends where you live and the rest and mental health is top notch! 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
The middle and upperclass here live like kings.
Spot on! All of the reasons why I moved to DR 10 years ago. Best decision for raising kids. No regrets.
Raising kids here is way better in my opinion. Glad I made the jump
Are the schools better in DR?
@@MrWendellz no
@@angelsantiago8990 Thanks! I didn't think so although I've never been to the DR... I think adults are making decisions for themselves and not really considering the long term effect on children. Moving from Florida to Texas is one thing but another country as a child 😞
Shout Out from CHI-TOWN-CHICAGO, USA! Thanks Jonah for this highly informative and enlightening podcast! AMEN-ASE!
I’m a retired marine , after I raised my kids and retired from New York to florida after 4 years I now want to move Santo Domingo or punta Cana , we haven’t decided yet , we like the fact that they have veteran clinics , also that the cost of living it’s a lot cheaper than Williams island where I live and I’ll be able to save money to travel and to have a better quality of life .
Check out samana la galera or la terrena
Nooo the DR sucks...expensive...all want to scam you...health system really bad etc etc
Great video. I have many of the same reasons as to why I moved.
Thank you!
loved the video bro u did an explained the best out of anyone ive seen an watched on u tube
Much respect and thank you for sharing. It’s awfully ironic to hear people who’s ancestors are not native to the U.S. telling others to “go back to their country” only to then be outraged to see so many people voluntarily leaving for other countries. On a better note, peace & love to you and your family! 💯🙏🏾
You couldn't of had worded it better. Thank you for the support!
Man this is a breath of fresh air
Glad you enjoyed it
Everything you said in this video and the way you explained it is exactly how I feel and literally would explain
Very happy for you and your family, thinking of retirement in the DR, I absolutely love the fact that it seems like the tide has changed in the DR, And I really like the aspect of being able to help and be a part of something that’s growing and changing…
This is ironic because while some want to leave the country, others want to come here. In addition, the situation is difficult everywhere.
Its all up to the individual to go after their dreams.
I took my kids from London to the DR while they were growing up and they had a blast & learned the language . I helped shoe shiners and street kids get schooling and did outreach to remote communities and we loved it. But because we lived in a campo we moved back to the UK when they required secondary education. We will never forget the wonderful relationships we formed and I visit every year.
Honestly I would be pretty sad going from DR to London, coming from someone whos from the NYC area, I can't stand the weather here in the winter and I'm sure its not so different over in the UK. Hope yall make it back one day though!
@@Cerxts Amen!
Thanks for sharing and for contributing to the community!
Very true what you said about the quality of food in the Dominican Republic. Yes, everthing you eat is 100% organic including the animals and seafood. You can even smell the food as you are walking and the fresh fruits and vegetables. You can get a real coconut water from 70 pesos (one dollar and 10 cents ), big coconuts. Mangos, oranges, and many fruits you can see them in the wild. Yes your health changes once you live in the DR. When I eat rice, beans and meat in USA its okay, but when you eat that in the DR you can tell there is a big difference in the taste. Good video and enjoy your stay in the DR. I will be retiring there like in 4 years.
You are absolutely right. Its one of the things we dont realize until we leave and get here.
You make it seems as if the DR is a hidden paradise on earth. Im beginning to believe it bc there other vids like this one assumably showing the difference between the USA and DR. Finding a spot on this globe with a multitude of ppl on it where there is no violence at all would be a dream for some or hard to find. The USA is a violent country bc we love violence. Unfortunately its in our blood passed down through the ages or from gene to gene. Many cities (concrete jungle) are ran by gangsters and tyrants. Looking for trouble. Dont come to us. Lol.
I'm from Dominica 🇩🇲 and I most say I can relate to almost everything you said on here. My country is also known for being the nature isle of the Caribbean.
Thanks for sharing
The middle class in the united states 🇺🇸 is disappearing very fast every year even as single person 🧍 no kids,wife ect making $85,000 plus a year doesn’t feel anymore middle class in such expensive places like new york, California,Florida ect, and some earning $30,000,$40,000 half of that previous income a year in DR🇩🇴lives way way far better like a king or queen with a very comfortable life
I stand by what I say, middle and upper class here live a million times better than in the states and the quality of life here is much better
Great content!! I love that you are helping poor communities in DR. Many blessings to you and yours🙌
Thank you so much! Its always been a dream of mine to come back to the motherland and try to help out underserved communities
This is a real honest review of the DR. It appears that in a lot of countries, the roads are often dangerous. I bypassed the DR years ago due to negative RUclips reviews. I wish the DR had been my first stop!
Happy you found the video useful. I look forward to sharing more videos about life on the island
When people get to the DR and they try carne guisada the first thing out of their mouth is "why the beef taste different?" it's because that beef that you're eating was butchered that day and it's grass fed beef.
Same with our vegetable and fruits.
Love my country and can't wait to retire there and spend my last days just walking the beach ❤❤❤
Being able to enjoy fresh juice everyday and not “concentrated” with a crap load of sugar is what I love every morning
Soooo glad to see this video. We live in Austin, TX and also feel unsafe sending our kids to school every day which is the main driving factor for our move to the Dominican Republic aside from the living to work aspect of life here in the US
I actually moved from Austin. Subscribe so you can see move of life in Dominican Republic
I'm Dominican. To succeed here is very possible If you know English you will always have a job in a call center guaranteed!!!!, From there you can expand and work in other areas like tourism. I'm glad that a lot of folks are realizing that is not hard move down here.
What about entrepreneurship?
@@jgivesback that as well in tourism a lot of people is doing ecotourism only with the natural resources
@@inoxus1988 so would you say opportunities are available for entrepreneurs?
Congratulations for your work and Virgem de Altagracia pray and bless Domincan people 🙏🏽
No. I am not leaving America. I love America
Nothing wrong with that. As long as you're happy thats all that matters
Dominican Republic is in America lol
Happy to have found you here!! Yes keep these videos going!!
Thank you, I will definitely keep it coming

You have some haters here but oh well! You have great content & maybe that’s the reason! Anyways! It’s not only Dominicans moving back to their country, it’s a world wide thing! Ppl are tired of living paycheck to paycheck, high taxes, poison food, high living cost etc..etc…I love my country & can’t wait to leave for good too! I’ve never had any safety issues when I go there with my family! It’s like u say, it’s good and bad everywhere u go! Good luck & stay strong!
Thanks for sharing. Remember, haters will only hate on those doing positive things and many people want to see us stuck and not progress. Enjoy the content and new videos
very well put, me personally I spend half a year in Puerto Plata from December to June. then in June I come to the United States because of my close family and the outdoor activities that DR. does not offers. I do all my shopping in New York, and I ship all the items before I depart to DR. as of today August 2024 in my opinion the most reliable shipping company is "Salcedo Express. one of the things that I like about Puerto Plata is that everything is walking distance if you enjoy walking, and every street ends up in the coastal boulevard (El Malecon) it is one of the safest cities in DR. the whole city only has approximately 8 traffic lights, my may concern is the unrestricted and disorganized moto-taxi 95% of all accident are cause my them.
Thanks for sharing!
About 3 years ago I bought a luxury apartment in Los Cacicazgos. It's doubled in value and it's larger than my house in upstate NY. Lol. I am trying to get another couple of properties but they've all gone up in value so quickly. The real estate market is booming here. I do plan to retire there in about 10 years. I'm not Dominican but my wife is. We both suffer from Autoimmune diseases but whenever we're in the DR, our conditions improve and we don't have any symptoms. It's the strangest thing. It's either the food or the radiation back home in NY that's making us sick. Not sure which one it is but certain it's one or the other. It's crazy how much money is coming into the country now.
There is one thing that concerns me though about the DR. I think it's becoming more "Americanized", especially with all the social media, materialism-wealth culture, and cosmetic surgery stuff, etc. I'm afraid that within the next decade or so, the country's morals will come down quite a bit.
Thanks for sharing your story, real estate is definitely booming and my health has improved overall and honestly attribute it to the food.
As for the gentrification, I would have to agree. Many Dominicans/Americans are moving back and its either the husband or wife that is one or the other.
I solute you my friend for being aware, most people are sleep walking straight into full blown slavery in the US. I'm building my house in the countryside deep in the mountains as we speak, going to take back to the good old farming days God willing.
Thank you! It's not perfect, however I do appreciate and value the quality of life, people and culture here.
@@jgivesback yea man nothing is ever perfect, but its about prioritizing what is important to you. And I think family, quality of life and culture top the list for most people.
@@drkid4l220 absolutely
In my experience of traveling since 2011, I’ve found the happiest and most smiling people are the poor ones in the Philippines and Cambodia.
Haven't been but wouldn't be surprised if they were happy

LOVE THE VIDEO!!! Im dominican and live in orlando fl, but im vacationing in santo domingo right now as i watch your video😎🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
Enjoy your time out here
Spot on video about my beautiful DR not perfect like any other country but man food, the freedom, mental health, tons of beautiful beaches, rivers, forest. Everytime i'm there i don't want to comeback to states.😢
Thanks for sharing, glad you enjoyed the video. We sure aren't perfect, but not what many people want to portray us to be
Well, I guess that means that You haven't TRAVELLED AROUND the WORLD and eaten in Great Restaurants, because when I went back to DR after 34 Years, the FOOD was a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT, and the LACK of HYGIENE at the RESTAURANTS and people's homes, plus the LACK of Hygiene at the Supermarkets, Homes, Apartments, and Restaurants left A LOT to be DESIRED. Ewwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@12567NoYouCannot Get lost negative soul
@@12567NoYouCannot why you come to DR after 34 years??? That's your problem right there lol. You can travel around the world and eat at great restaurants and work until you are 100 yrs old! Nothing wrong with that!
good deeds, you do the right thing. I don't know how and where this came from, something telling us to leave . between the tow I chose.......DR....paradise here.... I fell planted like a tree deeply rooted. I love you people...muchas bendiciones........
I want to go back and enjoy my country, I love it great video
Your country will always await you with open arms
HAPPY FOR YOU!! 🥳🥳
It does sadden me that people (in general-not you) attribute homelessness with not feeling safe. So many videos speak on homelessness almost in a shameful manner, but don’t look at whose responsibility it is to make the life affordable for citizens. Everyone is one life situation away from being homeless. I look at the environment that created the homelessness.
The richest country on earth, home to most of the world’s wealth, should not be having a homelessness crisis. It should not be having an addiction crisis, and it should not have the rates of gun violence that it does. The government should do for the people, otherwise why are the taxes going to them?
Yes, there is a lot of tension and people need to just be better neighbors in America. It’s so toxic in the country. When someone points out a grievance, they should be considered for their points as well, and not disparaged or disregarded. Recognizing an uncomfortable truth can identify a problem before it becomes bigger than it needs to be. There is too much “us versus them” and Americans should work together to make it a livable country for all. 👍🇺🇸
Thanks for sharing
Yes, it just makes me so sad 😞 .
I graduated university, with honors in business. After searching for months, I was offered a job that paid less than $20 a hour. With the amount of student loan debt from university, AND cost of living how is one expected to stay afloat?
Thankfully, I went to university on a “full ride”. However, there are tens of millions who have not been this lucky. Their debt is like a ball and chain that eventually can weigh them down. If you can’t pay rent, you get the boot 🥾. You may turn to poor coping methods while dealing with mental illnesses from the whole situation. Next thing you know someone is passing judgment on what you did or didn’t do in your life, just by glancing at you briefly on the side of the road.
Sorry for the long winded message 😮💨. I wish to help and give to the poor. If Jesus is who people claim he was, I think he’d want us to help those in need.
Good luck in the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 🙏.
I’ve considered going to DR and you have made it seem like a feasible option. I thank you sincerely. 🙏🙏🙏
@@RodneyKing-kz3ym of course, thank you for sharing! Hope future videos I share help you out.
there is one thing I found out. dominicans won't attack you unless you do some to them. nothing is perfect for sure, but here people are always attentive to each other needs, they share food, love, compassion, they protect each other. dominicans don't care if you are black, white, blue, violet, purple, red, yellow to come to your rescue. I love them. I have a year here, in my neighborhood everyone loves me. I share, compartir, I show them love understanding, they like me a lot. alway a dominican says to me for exemple" como sta hermano", dios le bendiga, como va la cosa. this makes me feel great, this makes me feel at home. I respect them. I respect the authority, I go by the rules.....looking for peace of mind....DR is the one. I said my high blood presure left.....since I am here. Peace, Peace, Peace.......Adelante quiskeyahnos.... la isla...hija de Dios
Thank you for sharing!
Not true; they discriminate against black people. We are at the bottom of the totem pole. Talk about your experience.
they discriminate Haitians that do they business on the street, and go to still in your house . and it just happens to be that the majority of Haitians are black
@@shayscott7498 first of all who put us there? Look at this like white people or other race did, if we put ourselves together will make a change. we are able to change both the narrative and the way "people" see us and look at us. its also depends on your own perception, your own definition about discrimination. my conduct, my speech, my body language determine and influence greatly the way another one may treat me. we don't talk about money, who can resist the power of knowledge? who can kick you out of the conference table when your reasoning goes beyond others, and makes sense. discrimination is every where, but here in DR I can't complain. If I want to end discrimination the way I understand it I have to be me, I must stand for something, represent something, how many times I found people telling me where do you learn spanish? How many times here people tell me why you sound different? God Bless! Bendiciones!
@@shayscott7498 Don't come to DR. We don't need your slander.
Have you ever thought about moving to the Dominican Republic?
Absolutely. I'm a Canadian who is working on retiring to the DR. Love your content and it's helping my husband and I work through our process of making the DR our home.
🙏
Yes but I can't save enough money for the transaction
@@wilcarcalderon5637 Thanks
Can't wait to move back home
You are young, you and your family could travel to any country at any time.
We can and realize that we are blessed to be able to
You should do a walking video so we can see the nature in these videos. I’m moving in 2 months but to Thailand. I want to live my 20’s a free man and start a family some day in a better environment.
The new vidoes will offer more of that
@@jgivesbacklooking forward to it
This video was amazing and educational! Looking forward to move videos!
Thank you! I promise to keep them coming!
Thank you for sharing your story. I appreciate your perspective on safety in the Dominican Republic. It’s important to explain the difference between the domestic violence you can encounter in the DR to the violence in the US. In New York for example random attacks have become so frequent you cannot simply walk down the street let alone ride the subway without fear. There are alot of mental health services needed to help the community. It’s great to hear the Dominican Republic promises a safer environment.
It’s important to talk about that because you don’t see random acts of violence like you do out there
Hey Jonah, your video got recommened to me(Probably because I DO live in Dominican Republic), and I just wanted to tell you that I find dunny how now here in DR we've got it better than in the US just with the flood of time, which made US not age well of course. The thing is that as a local who's lived here my whole 17 years of lifetime, lemme tell ya that I appreciate that people like you who've come here help us in the things we lack little by little at a time, and also glad you're enjoying yourself too.
I've suscribed, and greetings from Santo Domingo Norte!!
glad we got people like you here.
Thank you for those words! As a Dominican myself who was raised abroad, my dream was always to live on the island although many people tried to discourage me. I’m glad I made the jump for my family, and years later not one ounce of regret
I'm glad you accomplished your dream, man!
and thank YOU for what you've done for us!
take care, and to finish this reply to your reply, lemme tell you that lately, scam calls have been more common to anyone that pretty much has a bank account. Be careful of some unknown number through whatsapp or direct phone calls, claiming to be your insurance service or whatever they claim you have contracted. Be really really careful!
wish ya the best homie, take care, and stay safe!
We're getting ready to leave here very soon we only got a couple more months and we're out here me and my wife daughter and mom are leaving Babylon USA as well selling everything and getting rid of everything we're going to the Caribbean Islands Jamaica
Great choice , where in Jamaica?
its between blue mountain or Portland @@Worldtraveler655
Facts middle class Dominicans and many other nationalities in the Americas don't leave their country. My favorite thing about the DR? The joy in the people.
Ding Ding Ding
Oh my God! What an awesome video. Thank you so much. We are forgetting what life is in the US because we are focused on that next pay check just to cover expenses. The US is definitely not what it used to be. People better think twice before moving to the US
People live to work in the US and make you feel guilty for wanting to use vacation time that we are entitled to. Here people work to live
Great info and video...I fell in love with the country and will be living there ealry January.
happy to hear
I’ve visited many times and the trash is very upsetting. During the time I’ve spent there, it’s clear a better system is needed. With a clear system in place, litter would likely decline. The litter is out of control in many areas.
Trash is unfortunately one of the downsides of living here.
Great video. I’m a fellow Dominican. Right now I am about to leave medical residency and start practicing indecently. Will love to go back to DR, but definitely won’t make even 30% of what I can make here as a doctor. Planning to be going back and forth on a monthly basis tho. So planning to pile cash and then spend most of my time there.
What about if you start your own practice here?
I grew up in Texas and left 7 years ago. Everything you said is spot on about the issues in Austin and US generally and why I decided to leave, since I had the choice at the time.
I'm grateful for the opportunity my family and I had as refugees, but too much has changed for the worse. The US is a good place to make money and leave once you've saved enough in order to save your life.
This is why I say that if you survive driving in DR, you are capable of driving anywhere in the planet. Anyone wants to learn how to drive...FOR REAL...send them to DR. Lol! I also agree with you 100% with the garbage situation. It still amazes me that they haven't figure out how to get that situation fixed. Great content.
You told no lies! I am blessed to have visit most of the cities around the world including yours.
We welcome you with open arms here
Wow Jona great video. Feel so proud. Would love to meet you. Keep doing what you are doing. Giving back. God bless you
Thank you for those words 😀 Just trying to make any impact I can
I'm hearing a lot of good things about the D.R.
Congratulations!
Its heading in the right direction
hey like the video and quick question how many year have you live in Santo Domingo . try to do the move myself too. everything you say in the video is correct . would like know how your friend is doing that had cancer ,my prayers go out to her hopefully she getting the treatment she needs .
Thanks for the support! I have been here going on almost 4 years. Hope the videos I will be releasing helps answer any questions. Thanks for the well wishes for Yesica
Excellent video. Keep on the good work.
Thank you very much! I will make sure to keep posting
Goodstuff primo

Bro when you mentioned kids were treated well? I felt a sense of hope. Kids here in the US are treated like a hindrance.
You live definitely in a place to raise kids. I’ll add this country to my list.
I have two kids and anywhere and everywhere they go they are treated well.
@@jgivesbackThat’s incredible to hear, children are one of the most important beings in the world.
I love the USA. Maybe I'll leave when I'm retired, but right now, my life in the USA is excellent!
Everyone is different and there is nothing wrong with you being happy in the US, happy to hear that
Good video👍felicitaciones x Tu desicion d volver a tus raíces, y trabajar para una mejor Republica Dominicana una inspiración para mi d regresar👍👍👍👍
Gracias por esas palabras! Siempre fue un sueno poder regresar a RD y ayudar mi comunidad
Lovely video and I have had that sort of idea too when I get older, but I have heard some crazy stuff about the education there and the people who are in it. I don't know if its different now because these stories are from my parents who were born there and lived there up to 20+ years ago but I have heard stories about very corrupt teachers and administrators and circumstances where they would have to go out of their way to get something simple done because these teachers and administrators weren't letting them for some odd reason, and I would not like to put my future children through that, so anything on that would be helpful. Thanks! Side note, I had just been there for the majority of August haha.
Public schools are garbage both in the states in DR. Now when we talk about private education, the education in DR is miles ahead of that in the US
I agree with you on damn nearly everything. I never planned on living my whole life in the U.S, and I won't. Plans in the making👍.
Its a different time we are living in.
Lol thats random i just sold 3 properties in D.R. to buy a nicer home in FL. I do plan to buy a home in Mexico. I fibd it better than D.R. but its a nice island. Find happiness good luck and God Bless
I love Mexico as well
I am thinking about it too. I am 51 and in 7 years I will retire. I am from Puerto Rico, but is more expensive than living in the states. Living in the US is a joke with all these nonsense about car, home and specially health insurance! My concern is the police. They are very corrupt!
FACTS
the DR is DIRTY, EXPENSIVE, full of RUDE people, two-faced people, the kids Are Rude, terrible roads and driving, People and Restaurants DO NOT CLEAN their Homes and toilets (especially!) is SO GROSS. CRIME is BAD in DR.
It looks like you haven't been in DR.
Say to the Amercans take their a-ss of DR, I don’t understand because as you say is 🗑️ and they are full with them
There's like 300 other countries you can go to. No need to waste your time on DR. You can avoid it.
@@fiorespinal7038 Exactly !👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Let me guess, you've never visited the island and just speaking facts about where you live currently. Get out of here with that
I left the US twelve years ago and don't plan on ever moving back. I have a better quality of life, better education system for my kids and I don't have to pay like $2k on health insurance every month for the family or worry about my kids getting shot. I left without a second residency or second passport. I'm not bashing the US, just stating facts. I've been able to save and buy and house abroad, which I likely would never have been able to do in the US. The "wait until the next election" mentality is keeping the US down.
Thank you for sharing. Where did you move?
@@jgivesback Australia, which is also very expensive but you get more for the money and the quality of life is better. Even though house prices are also crazy here, we were able to save more than we could in the US because things like the huge health insurance cost isn't needed.
Great video!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Great country to live in indeed, I plan on retiring there in 5 years, I love the food and fresh fruit that I can eat or drink daily, .
The food is a game changer
@@jgivesback I know my friend, it’s amazing to go to the restaurant and order whatever fruit grows there and watch them put it in a blender and ask you do you want milk or ice added.
Great content. I know the driving is insane compared to the states. 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
Great job Jonah.
Thank you
I was born in Santo Domingo, DR and was raised between NY and Santo Domingo, but I left DR for good in 1987. I went back to DR in 2022 and DEEPLY REGRET IT. I wasted MY MONEY making a Trip there. I will never forget at the Airport how a Dominican Woman treated, a woman who works there; She was hateful, Bitter, and TOXIC, I don't understand where the HATE was coming from; the Bitter female who works at Aeropuerto de Las Americas in Santo Domingo was inside a Booth and She saw my US Passport and She was talking to me with DISRESPECT & DISGUST as if She felt ENTITLED to diminish me with her attitude, and I didn't have time to discuss with her or Report her. PLUS, the dominican people in DR treated me very Badly and Poory, and "family friendly" HA, HA, HA, I don't THINK SO, that is A LIE.
You sound like you are angry and have a lot of hate. I will be praying for you
Good thing for you NY is perfect and friendly!
Im trying to do the same. I’m working on a masters in computer science at Northeastern university. Once I’m done I want to move to Jarabacoa or Constanza.
Nice, thats awesome to hear
In fact most rich and richest people from LATAM( 99%) really became rich in their own country too even though I think that this materialst mentality is wrng but this show how is not really that people living in the states became rich.
Even the estadundenses live pay check to check, how this is a rich people if they live like that and even don’t have houses either
When I visited the Dominican Republic, they were people on mopeds with guns.
You mean the cops?
Please make more of these
I will be posting twice a week. Stay tuned and thanks for the support!
I'd leave too....if only I could find a place where civil rights exist and colorism does not. That would be a true dream, one where I can just.....be.
Do you believe racism exist in Dominican Republic or it is classism?
@@jgivesback Considering the history between DR and Haiti and my experience as someone who grew up around a lot of Dominicans in New England...I wouldn't be surprised if both exist there.
I know for a fact that colorism is a thing in that culture. The DR, like many latin cultures have a derogatory term to describe a black person.
My ethnic group does not have a bad word for any race or ethnicity...yet most of them have one for us and I never understood that.
You have what you have because of the United States don't take it for granted we have the best government in the world it's not perfect and I don't agree with a lot of policies but that's it. Because the opportunity did the United States gives people be careful what you wish for you have a little money now that's what happens
Opportunity is created by an individual, not a country lets be clear. If thats the case then why isn't everyone well off there? Just by your statement of being the best government in the world, I can tell you have drank to much of the propoganda juice
This video is not for you.....
Good deal bro ! Welcome to D.R from santiago
Gracias bro
I want out of here ASAP, but my destination is Spain
The important thing is to do what makes you happy
I am from bayaguana ❤
Bayaguana in the house!!!
Why would you leave the United States? It’s the land of the free. Please spare me with the typical comments about current events. It’s bigger than just going to another country. Good for him I guess. But, you can tell he’s a foreigner to some degree. Listen, this is one of those instances where I encourage viewers of this video to use their own brains. This man moved. Good for him. But, don’t be a follower. Again, he went back to his country. He said it out of his mouth. If America is your country don’t be so quick to jump ship.
“Land of the Free” don’t make me laugh. It’s the land where cops shoot you in your own home, where most have to work 50 plus hours to live comfortably, where taxes are high and social benefits are minimal, where cost of living is out of control, where corporations have completely run amuck, where every form of speech and media is censored. Aside from the right to own guns and be a religious nut, what the hell is so free about this country?
you lost your mind you'll be back
If I ever leave DR it for sure as hell wont be back to the matrix, fake food, poor quality of life. I would move elsewhere
Be 🦾bro much respect
(Genesis 49:4-7: The Descendents of the Tribe of Simeon, Nation of Israel lives in the Dominican Republic their ancestors came to the Americas as stated in 2 Esdras 13:39-58 as part of the Northern Kingdom out of Syria. They Share a land mass with their brother, the Tribe of Levi (Haitians..... read Malachi Chapter 2 for why they are in a low estate). While you are there do no dabble in their instruments of cruelty (Santeria and Voodoo). Read the Pseudepigrapha on the 12 Patriarch (Simeon) and you will know about his Children. DR is close to the Island of Cuba who indigenous inhabitants are the Tribe of Manassa and Puerto Rico who are the Tribe of Ephraim. The Tribe of Benjamin is also surrounding you in Jamica and other Caribbean Islands. You all are going to need each other because as the bible said in Jeremiah 30:7 everything that is happening in the world today is to trouble the Children of Jacob hence........ Jacobs Trouble. Love the Video.

Well Good for you and thank God that you and your family weren't around by the pandemic which think was the more crazy moments in the history of this country not even sept 11 was compere I'm planning to move back yo dominican rep. for many reasons we don't feel safe any more not matter where we go are exactly the same, and now the rent went up like we making 10 thousands dollars by monts, we can't afford, the rent insurance and food, and forget if you any mechanical problems oh inspections close the bill cycle we are done, and the other thing the vaccine isn't mandate but immediately you any intreview first thing they ask it,s if you Vax and if you aren't forget it about.
People are still talking about the vax out there?
I'm surprised you considered Austin not safe, but it's a blue city so I guess it was bound to happen eventually
Reason #123124345 why I left the USA, political divide. Keep that in the states please lol

Brother brother brother.. As a Dominican I thank you for saying good things about our beautiful Dom Rep... But as a Dominican I will say that you need to tone it down with the praises. You are selling an UTOPIA and a lot of people will believe you. As a Dominican I will say that in Dom Rep you are and are treated, by what you have and own. Don't get me wrong, we are very supportive and friendly but money matters too much actually. Public Hospitals and health care is shit!!!! There's lot of mental health problems, suicides, etc due to financial issues. Public schools and education system is shit and the kids are rated some of the worst in the world. People are not chilled and carefree as you portray, quite the opposite, people stress too much with private school fees, medical bills,.... It's just a different country with the bad and the good... You moved back to Dom Rep, because you can afford it for the time being .. But when the honeymoon is over and shit hits the fan, you will have to hustle and work maybe harder than before, to keep up. Rd is a great country, but you are what you have and who you know. 😊😊😊
If i'm selling an utopia, what are people selling our Dominican people who want to move to the US?
That’s not true!!! I’m Dominican and people in DR don’t stress about anything… they party everyday hay teteo a todas horas!!! Dominicans do care about money but let me tell you you won’t go hungry in DR siempre hay alguien que te da un plato de comida mientras que en Estados Unidos ni un vaso de agua bye amigo!!! Oshe a esté hablando tanta pleblA
@@madelinedelacruz9980 well said
I’m a white guy and I want to go back to your country but also my wife lives there😂 But still, I would go anyways

Sir have always thought my life and my kids would be better once I get to America especially being a single mother i just thought life here is hard in Nigeria but right now coz it has been my greatest dream vut know i will just concentrate on working hard in other to finances my dream project in Guinea
Anything is possible with a dream, hustle and discipline. Go crush you dream project!
So the Dominican republic isn't part of the americas
