What I Miss About Living In US ( Living In Dominican Republic )
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 чер 2024
- I didn’t live in the US for my entire life only about 8 years. I’m originally from the Dominican Republic but only lived in the Dominican Republic for about the first 5 years of my life. This is relevant because I’m not 13 years old, so there’s a gap of almost 14 years of me living in places like Tortola and Puerto Rico. ( I’ll tell you later how that affected me )
Now I live full-time here in the Dominican Republic, is there anything I miss? I’ll talk about the few things I miss and the truth behind them.

1. Convenience In The US (this is my fault and my Choice )
- Amazon
- Uber
- Insta Cart
These are all things that are used a lot
- Here Amazon Prime doesn’t work, more like Amazon 1 week
- Uber is mostly for cities, so here we use buses, taxis, and moto taxi
- Insta cart, not where I live
If I lived in the Capital or Punta Cana:
- I could probably have access to one of these services
- But the truth is, it would be such a waste of money
- We shop for groceries maybe weekly
- And amazon not arriving so fast, has saved me a lot of money on shopping like a crazy person and spending money on Prime
2. Highways and Roads
- This I really miss about the US
- You have no idea how much safer it is to drive in the US than in Dominican Republic
- While I’ve been here I’ve been in two accidents, people backing up without looking and people trying to pass me on a highway without time
The Best advice for people is:
- Create a routine where you don’t need to drive long distances
- Try to drive at night
- And learn to protect the other person
- Be patient
3. Food quality
- Although American food sucks for the most part
- We do have options in certain places to shop for organic
- Here that doesn’t really happen ( it’s a very small market )
To me it's important:
- The meat you eat
- The fruits
- The veggies
- Filled with chemicals and pesticides
Long-term solution for this:
- Grow your own food those you see me learning the basics
- With the latest video I made
4. Poverty
- This seems strange but it's true
- Poverty in the US which I was in the section for a few years myself is different
- We were poor but
The difference:
- We had internet
- Phone service
- Food
- Fridge
- Housing
- And all the basics
That’s not the case here
- I know certain people say the Dominican Republic is not a third-world country that its rapidly developing
- But go to the neighborhoods, go to the hospitals, go the markets, and lastly visit people in their homes
5. Recreational Activities
- Like parks
- Running people
- Sports people
- Just more recreation
The truth:
- The most wealth the community is, the more you see this
- But here depending on where you live, and I live in a not wealthy neighborhood at all
- Those things are not given any importance
The gyms here are:
- Are disasters atleast where I live
Let me know if you want me to make a video about the things I don’t miss about living in the US

Bruhh! The food here way healthier than in the US, 100x better!!
Go to a farm bro
You're a deep thinker bro, may we prosper with joy and care✌️🫶🏽
Thanks brother
Enjoyed the video.
Thank you !!!
I live in Orlando and the Dominicans here that I’ve met make me never want to visit DR. I hope there are more people who think like you that I can meet to give a positive example.
Just curious, why have those Dominicans that you met in Orlando made you not want to visit DR?
I love visiting D.R but living their is rough unless you have a strong support system or are very rich.
You need neither. It’s an adjustment for sure. But you can find rentable places for less than $300 dollar in great areas And $200 for areas less great.
@@TommyBrysonlmao yeah ok good luck having your power go out every 5 minutes. Not to mention if you want to go out to eat in an even moderately ok restaraunt it’s like 15 dollars. Nevermind something upscale, it’s basically midsized U.S. prices. No thanks , plenty of other budget places that are safer, more culture, better food, etc .,
@@ej1692 depends where you live.
@ej1692 work n save in the usa enuff $ to buy or build a house some where in DR that checks all ur boxes. Have a generator installed and u won't worry about power outages
@@AdrianButler86 why go through all that for a mediocre experience? Get what you pay for. There are hot women all over Latin America
Interesting when you said food I always taught the food in Dr was more organic when I go over there fruits are not the same as here in New York
Same! I actually get bloated and sick here all the time here in the US and when I go in DR and the food quality for me is better. I have celiac and lactose intolerance. Not sure where he lives but all things considered food wise is its better almost at the same price I buy it here.
Stay safe
Thanks 🙏
I live in the capital, and I make it a point to get out of there every weekend because of the crazy driving. We are #1 in traffic fatalities in the WORLD. Definitely something I miss from the states.
Yeah it’s horrible
YOUR POTENTIAL COACHING/COUNSELING PROJECT:
The UA-camrs that I am a member follower, Quazi and AliAbdoul both have professional, Ivy League backgrounds, in fact, Ali, was once a doctor.
While I get value from following them, they don’t have the local community and expertise that you have demonstrated. You would reach an entirely different demographic and audience. More to consider……., if I had your experience of the states AND the Dominican Republic, I see a great opportunity to help the people.
You look like Al Horford
Not sure who that is
Dont you miss the convenience of turning on a water faucet and getting clean drinking water ?
Lol I never trusted that “clean” water because of the rusting pipes in the city
Who drinks tap water...
@@ilovebrocoli6068 :: My friend please google " where does bottled water come from " . You will be surprised .
Yes our water is not clean either just might be a little cleaner than DR
@@ilovebrocoli6068 : Hi friend : please google " where does bottled water come from " you will be surprised .
At least in the DR you got no corn syrup
We have it too 🙃
The intro is so abrupt, was that intentional?
Come one now, focus on the main message instead. Your question is useless
My goodness theirs a massive mistake, I’ll try to fix it
Fixed it via UA-cam edit, should take a while to update but thanks for letting me know.
@@TommyBryson No problem! I wasn't trying to be rude or critical. I enjoyed the video!
@@JourneyWithAjahno problem and it’s fixed. Thank you !!
I have to disagree on the poeple are sick all the time. They have the big belly bc of te beer and the ever present teteo. And the fritura and all that. But they eat healthier and less than people eat here. At least less junk food . The thing about being sick hmm ive know quite a few people that love deep into their 90s being generally DURO!
Not worth the argument since we are both just using anecdotal evidence. But we can both agree people could be healthier
This man make it seem like it’s bad man you go next door to Haiti you gone be wishing you went back 🇭🇹
True
Even Haiti has nice Areas. Trust me.
First
Ayeee
How do most of you guys still making profit? Even with the downturn of economy and ever increasing life standards
Well, I picked the challenge to put my finances in order. Then I invested in cryptocurrency and stocks, through the assistance of my discretionary fund manager
Mrs Mary Patricia Hester
This is correct, Mary's strategy has normalized winning trades for me also, and it's a huge milestone for me looking back to how it all started..
Isn't she the same Mrs Mary Patricia Hester neighbors are talking about, she has to be a perfect expect for people to talk about her so well.
Her platform is wonderful, and her services are exceptional
You also didn't mention that hospitals suck. You can't have anything nice or your a target. The only reason D.R. is awsomw because your Dollars are stronger than the Peso. It's a fun place to visit and to invest on Air BnB. But not to live. Only people that go live there is because they could not make it on their homeland.
Not true.
Why we always talk shit about the US, but you like the benefits of it… what about instead of getting paid in dollars you get paid in pesos let’s see what you say about that
It would just be the equivalent of US to Peso. But I do get your point. It’s normal; it’s how places improve by people pointing out flaws and trying to fix it.
