[4K] The truth about leaving Dominican Republic! 🇩🇴 

I was born in DR, grew up in NYC. I visit DR almost yearly but I actually want to have the experience of living in DR for a while. Remember, visiting a country for a couple of weeks and actually living there for an extended period of time is a totally different ball game.

That’s what many people don’t understand. We are out of our country simply because of the opportunities, the dollar is multiplied in our Dominican pesos… that’s why Dominicans also go to PR! It’s the money, nothing else. Which is also the reason why many tourists choose DR cause they can get the most for their money plus our awesome tourism of course. We come to the States to work to get the most out of our money too and then buy properties in DR. Our country has it all, but we simply can do more in our country when the money is doubled or tripled. 🙃 So yes, we love our country… 🇩🇴🏝️

I would love to move out of USA! The plan is to move to La Romana once I graduate from grad-school and my parents retired. Sooooo happyy!!! 💃

I’ve been living in Boston, Ma for 40 years. I miss my island of D.R. For those who wished to leave the D.R I understand why but the stress and pain that comes with earning a livable living is just as bad as for those who live in the D.R wishing for a better life. Yes, you get a little more of an economic boost or cushion but the freedom you have in D.R can’t compare to that of the USA. Sorry to say. You may ask why not go back to the D.R understand that when I say 40 years in the USA that means I came when I was 7 or 8 years of age. So now that I’ve been raised here and made my family here it’s hard to leave. Trust and believe me that that doesn’t mean I don’t want to leave and when I retire I will most likely move back now that my kids are adults. Im going in august and I go every year to see family and enjoy the beauty of my country Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 ❤️ 💪 love you D.R and my people

What some Dominicans don't know is that, If they go to Canada, Europe or USA, They will have to start from zero and work hard to go back and build something in DR, it's no easy to.start business in those countries when you don't know the language. Some Dominicans never try to do a business in DR, but yet they criticize the country for lack of opportunities, I see a lot of Venezuelans making business in DR, but some Dominicans are sick with mentality of viajero, *Traveler*.

I'm an american lived in the US all my life but i love living in your country its the best move i ever made, people are warm and friendly

I live in the US and I’ve been telling my family for years that given the opportunity I would definitely live outside of the U.S.

I love the Dominican Republic💯🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴

You should ask as a follow up question, what if you can earn enough to live would you like to leave the DR?

If you live comfortably over there, there is no reason other than to visit to come to the U.S. Our country(DR) may not be perfect, but at least you will get to enjoy life because I feel like all we do here is work.

Well it all depends on the Income and opportunities people have. For example, getting a good job in DR is very difficult, you need to have relations just having a good Resume is not enough.

Many Black and brown Dominicans want to go to Spain. They have no idea how much racism and discrimination are out there in the world. Creo que el titulo del video debe hacer referencia a si los Dominicanos quieren o no irse al extranjero.

I have always said it Dominican Republic has it all it has everything to succeed in the country the food & weather is a bonus when you are in DR you feel free as a person with no children yet i would love to have a family there ❤

I was born in NYC, lived in DR when I was a child. I have some of the best memories living there! My mom is from La capital and my dad was from La Vega, so an adult I mostly frequented el Cibao. I’ve been living in Australia since 2020 and the more I live here the more I miss my culture and my people! My son was just born 3 days ago and I would love to give him the experience of living in DR for some time. Maybe one day

Dominican 🇩🇴 is one of the best place to be

I immigrated from Egypt to Canada and now I'm looking forward to emigrating from Canada. I like the DR because your people are friendly and feel more like what the egyptians were before but not anymore.

i go all the time and you are in santo domingo zona colonial asking that question. go to the north or este and other areas like hato mayor, la vega, juan dolio and ask that same question

With the mentality that I have now, nobody takes me out of my country. I have 15 years living in USA. la economía solo mejora cuando cambiamos la manera de pensar,puedes ganar todo el dinero del mundo pero si no tienes la mentalidad correcta no llegaras a ningún lado,no importa donde estes o vivas

Would love to leave the US and retire in the DR.

Yes I would, and I would like to come to your country. I left the US and been living in Mexico now for going on 5 months. I plan on eventuslly coming to your country. My basic reason for leaving is essentially because I could.

🤓🏝🇩🇴⁉️👏... Super!... 👁Although a snapshot & informal....👍Very interesting, Nationalism & Positive affirmation that those living in DR greatly appreciate, value & enjoy their Country!!!💖...🙂

Creo que todo el mundo debería tener la experiencia de irse al extranjero a vivir, especialmente si eres joven y podrías combinarlo para estudiar en el extranjero, es lo ideal. Esa ampliación de experiencias, culturas, personas, pensamientos, sólo se logra permitiéndote abrirte a otras costumbres sin comprometer tus propios valores. Todos podemos aprender unos de otros, ya que nadie tiene la verdad absoluta.

I already lived in Barcelona and I'm in D.R right now. I would live for a time period but not for good 💯🇩🇴

This might be a reverse answer to this question your posing, but if I were to go back to the Dominican Republic for any reason I would. Main reason is because it seems more, natural to me. Here in the United States, there are a lot of opportunity for me to have to get a career, to get a job, to get something that people in countries like these, could get in other places outside of where they live. The opportunity I’m seeing from where I’m from, from where I originate, can tend to be too much and it can be overwhelming, which is why I tend to do my research on what it is I need and don’t need in the end of the day. There’s a lot going on in the United States, but if anything, if something were to happen, I would go back if I could.

This is insane 1 / why your chanel is not bigger ? I am amazed about the value of the content , your introduction & tv personality that you are gifted with. 2/ watch three episodes , mega walmart supermarket , and scam alerts And all of those videos are very entairtaining. This episode show mixed opinions about leaving santo Domingo specially for individuals above 50 of ages 😊 and many are chasing inmine copper while leaving pure gold below their feets I feel youtube or video sharing is one the greatest gift of the internet as the world become super small to share all this infos and cultures even by adoption of metaverse New subscribers

Que viva La República Dominicana 🇩🇴

i am born and raise in the DR..do I want to leave my country? the short answer is No

Would never leave the DR permanently. People don't know what they're getting into when they move to other countries with the social problems those countries may have towards immigrants, especially those who look differently.

Most people don’t want to leave their country of origin. They just want to be financially well off.

Very interesting. Thanks

Overvthere the food nis cheaper the rent compare to other countries only the water I had a promblem with but it's ok life in the country side an plant a garden with all the fruit trees grafted mango soursop avocados orange lume lemons etc

Hell yeah! I got the opportunity to go back to DR and I never will, main reason, I feel like I’m an immigrant in my own country, Haitians are taking over the country, Dembow music, unsafe, dirty, expensive, and 200 more reasons, l wish y’all good luck!!

Definitely! DR is my second home. Love to make it my first..

I will be there in 2 weeks to find out!! 🛩 🇩🇴🏝

The ones saying no, are not being truthful they would leave in a heartbeat if given the chance

Some people have roots and some people have Wings. I was born with Wings! 😊

This is a very interesting survey. I would like to see the response from Dominicans living in other parts of the country, in the North for example, “La Linia”, “El Cibao”, from the country side not larger cities where there’s more access to resources.😊

I been living in the US for 43 years. And I'm planning on buying property in DR and move there in the not so far off future.

Parte 2. Nos damos cuenta de las cosas buenas que tenemos como cultura e indiosincracias. También, las muchas que necesitamos modificar, aspectos de la política y del gobierno en general. Le hemos dado todo el poder a los políticos y al gobierno, cuando debería ser al revés, debemos ser vigilantes e intorelables de todas las perversas travesuras de los servidores publicos. Este es un país próspero, rico pero hay que limpiar la casa y tiene que haber un régimen de consecuencia y punidad.

el pasto siempre es más verde del otro lado de la valla

I'm planning on going back. Came at 12yo on 1979 ya es hora de regresar por siempre ❤DR.

So if I had a chance to live somewhere else? Probably yes, but not that I don't love my country .. it's because I hate the climate up here .. long, cold, wet and dark winters with all the snow shoveling and stuff .. I just love sunshine and warmth .. and the freedom to take a motorcycle and go whenever I like .. not that I can't because of the icy roads and freezing temps. Yeah .. I would become a climate refugee pretty sure if I only had a place to go, or someone to wait for me .. but unfortunately I'm too lazy and a bit old to make these drastic life changes happen, lol

I want to move to Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 😂

Parque Colonial is the most touristy part of Santo Domingo.

Great content! Keep it up!

The problem is that even for expats, the country has gotten expensive. It is almost as expensive as the US and Canada! It really has gotten ridiculous there.

Capital humano en D.R es❤💯

yo estoy queriendo volver a punta cana soy dominicano nací en RD

Creo Que es bueno retirar en la Republica Dominicana mas tranquilo alla.

Yo soy un Dominicano promedio y no saldría en absoluto de mí país.🇩🇴💖

Go to the barrios where they live in houses that got tin roofs and ask that question

I am from Haiti and currently live in NYC as a naturalized U.S. citizen. I would love to live in DR for at least three months. My dominican girlfriend is opposed to the idea. One day, I will just get on a DR bound plane.

I think people who live en el campo in DR live better the people in big city here in europe

Soy dominicano y solo saldría a pasear a otro país, no me interesa vivir en otro país.

Now go to Parque Enriquillo and ask.

no entendí nada pero comoquiera le di su like

If they be making $600.00 To $1000 dollars those questions never being ask is a crime the salaries they make monthly.

Es pobre el que tiene su mente bloqueada. Comienza friendo yaniqueques en una esquina cualquiera y veras.

When I first went in 2003 it felt safer, twenty years later it’s rough and I’ve got to the point I won’t go anymore.

I'll be living 6 months in the US and 6 in the D.R

They already coming to ruin nyc with there loud music and sidewalk barbecues

Donde esta gente llega, el valor de propiedad (real estate) Baja el 50%. Todo lo danan. Por favor quedence alla.
