    I see a feel the switch in you. You seem so much happier. Leaving the ridiculous rat race of L.A. the DR is so rich in culture and a different way of life. Im Dominican/ Haitian and my grandmother lives in El Macao. I cant wait to get there. I built a house in Texas last year and I'm miserable personally and professionally. Really considering jumping ship and moving next year. So proud of living your truth. Keep pushing queen! I love to see it.

    Amazing!!!! I’m so happy for you, and I need to do this cause honey….this place isn’t it!!! 🤦🏾‍♀️ my mental health is always a problem going into late fall/winter (NJ). I’m in desperate need of a reset. Of course my husband and I bought a house last year, so I’m trapped 😩. I need warm sunny weather, a beach, and peace of mind…it’s a never ending struggle. You’re taking care of yourself, and we’re all hear for it. “The new American dream is to leave!” 💯 You’re an inspiration! 🙌🏾🔥🫶🏾

I DEF needed a good reset.. LA warm warm mostly but DRYYYYY no breeze I lOVE the humidity warm nights the breeze the sun!!! $500 rents and homes for less than 100k I could actually see really settling down here even bringing some family out...

    CONGRATS girl! Take care of your soul! What is the reception of people in the DR towards dark skin Americans? I went to Costa Rica and for the most part, people were nice but I had a few bad experiences with bartenders.
    That last quote took me out! Remind me of the "our Rich Journey" youtube channel. Black couple that retired early and live in Portugal now.

    • @destinygodley
      @destinygodley  Рік тому +1

      TY TY TY... I haven't had too many bad experiences... I feel like for the most part they'll mirror your energy... It's a tourist town so if you're out spending it's usually all good... it's very economical unless your in those lil side shops... there is a tendency to lean more favor toward people who look like tourist i.e lighter white etc but black dollars are huge in DR as well.. so it's been cool... knowing a lil spanishj really helps!!

      It varies... but getting a visa or cedula is def a good thing if you plan to work in the country for businesses... I am self employed and currently working on getting a "nomad visa" for videography for a company I plan to freelance with... There are a few ways to work use your visa add more days and pay the "exit fee" if you're not planning to get documentation.

    I feel that way about the Bay Area. I make a great salary and live with roommates. I’m having a hard time saving up just to get my own apartment. Which will shackle me down in a way, or force me to make more $.
    I just want to live on what I have. I have to get re-centered as I have wanted to live in my car, van, or move abroad like you.
    Def. a push for me to pursue the life I want to live. I love my friends, they are amazing, and I am just not happy with my quality of life.
    Unsure if you’ve experienced the LGBTQ community, do you find it is homophobic there more or less relative to LA?

    • @destinygodley
      @destinygodley  Рік тому

      Yes I feel you I know so many people in this situation... hopefully you can make a move to offset a major change. I haven't noticed much in favor or against LGBTQ here.. I do see same sex couples and they have drag entertainers... I think the capitol has more in regards to lifestyle and "out living"
