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
