Hi, I'm Mr.T - "Educated Traveler". I focus on educating people about various topics related to travel, living abroad, and different cultures. I do this both by presenting my own experiences as well as by interviewing other travelers and expats.
Also please subscribe "Educated Traveler" on the platform www.bitchute.com/educatedtraveler where you'll find more hard-hitting videos, as they still allow freedom of speech & expression!
Playlists: My channel has 3 playlists, which can be distinguished by the icon seen in the "top right-hand corner", If you see a number, then it's another full-length travel documentary in the playlist called "Dominican Republic", and if you see a camera icon, then it's from the playlist called "Interesting moments caught on camera", and finally, if you find a rifle thumbnail, then it's from the playlist "Wake up and Retaliate".
Also check my DR information service "InfoHub" on the following link: www.infohub-educatedtraveler.info
Hey there! Thanks for watching! Feel free to scroll down my channel for more information about Sosua and Cabarete :-) If you wish to have more personalized consultancy, reach out at info@educatedtraveler.info
@@EducatedTraveler I’ll be in touch I am thinking of celebrating my daughters birthday there with family & friends next May I need to get more info Thank you
Many thanks for watching and commenting!:-) To answer your question: Your U.S. health insurance won't work in the Dominican Republic. U.S. medical insurance plans seldom cover health costs incurred outside the United States unless supplemental coverage is purchased. Further, U.S. Medicare and Medicaid programs do not provide payment for medical services outside the United States. However, many travel agents and private companies offer insurance plans that will cover health care expenses incurred overseas, including emergency services such as medical evacuations.
So the dude with the pirate ball cap who claims he’s “unwanted” in his country (the U.S) because he’s a “straight white male”. So he’s a r@cist & a homophobe I take?
And here's what this Gringo hate when I come to Sosua. Stop comparing prices to what we pay in the states. You are not charging Dominicans 1000 pesos for haircuts!
Enlighten me! How can the Dominican Republic be racist when Dominicans and the rest of Hispanics are not even a race but an ethnicity? It’s like an insult to our intelligence.
Excellent advice! Thanks for making the video. I agree with the American that not having that jab is a legitimate quality to look for, I also am pure blood and gave up on that criteria but he gave me hope to keep it. Very hard to find especially there from what I've seen using Tinder's Passport feature, many people their gave in, not sure if the had much of a choice however. The Dominican culture is to move relationships pretty fast but look out for love bombing and insinuating that they need financial help, too early. Their troubles should be kept out of the dating relationship out of respect early on. You are viewed as the ticket so don't be surprised but also, don't be so "tacao" stingy lol. Understand that you're dealing with a third world country and money and jobs are somewhat difficult to obtain. :) Looking for my Dominican wife as we speak. Happy hunting, best of luck, gente hermosa!
The thing is Americans are delusional they think it's not safe because they have this mentality oh it's a third world country it's undeveloped that's just how Americans are they think that the whole country has to look like Beverly hills Hollywood Boca Raton that's their mentality
I love your videos. They are so informative and very helpful. I visit family in Puerto plata every January. I love the DR and the natives. The only problem I have is the driving! If you could just do something about the drivers! I was told NOT to rent a car because if you get into an accident even if it's not your fault all they want is to get paid. It's unfortunate. Because the DR, weather, people and food are amazing and so beautiful.
Thanks Joe, and for staying tuned! Yes, if it's not a big bother during visits to simply use "Hired transportation" then for sure this is one way to remove the fault from you during a potential accident. But when you live here, then you need to go where you want, when you want, and having your own wheels become a must. We get better and better with time at reading the stupidity, habits etc... of drivers here (so much about preventing situations) and as our Spanish gets better, this too helps us in situations where someone does try to pull a swifty on us. Enjoy your future trips! Brgds, Mr.T :)
Yes she did actually say that when they come down here, some treat her in a bad way (probably try to "buy her services" for services she doesn't offer) yet some dudes tar every girl here with the same brush, that's her beef with such dudes.
Hmm. That’s how it is with Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Mexicans, etc in the US. They bring their music, their food, their flags, etc and live like they did when in their country.
You've got a good point, and I don't try to become part of the culture, but rather just try to respect it, like I like when they respect mine. I like Rock, Blues, and more, yet after 16+ years, I still can't stand listening to too many "tipica" songs in a row, so that leaves me to either tolerate it, or leave that place with the ear-piercing music to another much more tranquillo hang-out, and there's plenty of options. Thanks for watching and commenting! Brgds, Mr.T
Iv been here for 21 nights the beach in sosua is much nicer than cabarete but the town is a much slower pace than sosua town i found the prices for rent a bit high in cabarete for long term rental.
