    Welcome to the Caribbean island of Dominica. That’s a hard country name to pronounce. And no, it’s not the same as the Dominican Republic.
    🇩🇲 More Dominica Videos: / watchv=7gka7owjup8&lis...
    Today we’re heading to Dominica, one of the most gorgeous and most underrated islands in the region. I’m about to show you why!
    Today we’re exploring this island nation’s incredible food scene. Saltfish, crab backs, curry crab, callaloo, and even a possum! It’s a lot better than it sounds, trust me, it was delicious! So come with me and let’s go to Dominica. Why is this country’s name so hard?!

    Dominica is my home and it’s great that you’ve given people the real Dominican experience. It’s the only way to experience Dominica. But EC$12 (US$4) for a coconut! I remember when they were EC$1.50! It’s either because of inflation or because you’re not local! But it’s amazing how you will eat anything! Love it.

Give me the smoked herring with onions🙌🏼😋. Looks like it’s melting in your mouth. David watching I’m enjoying. This vid 2hr 47 min. My comment will be ridiculous. 😂Thanks for sharing this journey.

    Hey David. This doc. serves as a reminder of your visit to Dominica, and since I have already seen the series, I really don't have much to say. It just reminds me of how island life is so relaxed and the people are nice and friendly, going about their daily lives. As an island girl myself it also brings back memories of home (Trinidad). Muchas gracias mi amigo. I am off now to watch the next doc. and then I have one more. I have a sneaky feeling that you are going to post another one tomorrow so I had better get started 😮 . Adios. 🙏✌️❤️🇹🇹🇨🇦

      @BonnieOsvany:. I think you are being unfair to David. Why would you say something like that and what have you seen in this video to accuse David of something like that. First of all, David does care about any country's economy. None of us knows what goes on behind the scenes. David always spends his own money and sometimes pay for other people too. If someone offers something at no cost, then so be it. But why don't you explain what you mean. I don't think you know David at all. I am a bit perplexed by your comment which you have a right to do but I am shaking my head at this one.🇹🇹🇨🇦
