- Paradise ain't always perfect! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the life I created here BUT there are downsides as well. Take these into account as you are deciding to move here, but don't let them stop you! Las Terrenas is a great place to be 🙌🏽

Also, the minute you get everything that you gave at home, it’s not an unique place anymore. When I go to Venice or Sorrento I don’t expect to find certain things. Every place has its thing. Santo Domingo had literally everything. Take a trip once in awhile to the capital, to get out the small everimonent and to indulge in the things you like, specially food.
Agreed!! Life is life but differences are very notable
In Sosúa and cabarete there’s definitely better food options! Everything from Jamaican, German, Italian , Indian, Mexican, sushi and Chinese food(complete with the faded menus on the wall)
Keep it coming.
New video coming soon!
Another great vid. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
I really really love your comments and your video.
I love my country by watching your video it’s make me more and more connected to it.
I’m working on my little nest in beautiful las terrenas.
Please please keep posting.
Thanks for watching 😊 I make a new video every week!
Hi Luna, You have been Dominicanized. And they do have real Chinese restaurants in Santiago.
If only I was in Santiago 🥴😂
@@LunaSoleil I mean just take a car and drive, this country has more to offer than what you could imagine.
I went to a “Chinese food” place in Santiago and they only had fried rice with raisins and pica pollo, I feel you girl.
Not raisins 😩 damn lol
@@LunaSoleil 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great timeless classic content video!!!! 💯✔⚘⚘⚘
The privacy thing I’m with you. When I use to travel to DR when me and my brother hit the airport it was like a moto coach guy already told everyone we are back. Anything you did everyone was like how was so and so, I’m like really.
Anyways great video informative, the one thing that would annoy me was pan handling in the towns. The kids I did not mind as much as most of them would actually be hungry.
Exactly!
Great Advice!!! I found great Italian, French and Sushi restaurants…I’m lucky that I like those types of cuisines !!! Or better yet I can survive with them!!😝
😂😂😂 perfect!
Exactly! I lived in Puerto Viejo (Caribbean town in Costa Rica 5 1/2yrs. I left skinny and looking forward to be in public where I didn’t know everyone. Might check out LT in January 🥳 Hoping for veg options
Oh wow, I’m slacking on the leaving skinny part lmao 🤣. And cool, you should definitely come visit! January is the perfect time of year. The weather is gorgeous then 😍🙌🏽
What s wrong with puerto viejo
Those points always seem to come up in these dislike videos for most countries expats have moved to. None of those are issues for me though since it's expected. Still coming to check out Las Terrenas soon with the intent of relocating there in 2023.
Exactly. Every location has it’s downfalls. But for me, the pros far outweigh the cons. Let me know when you are ready to relocate, I’d love to assist you 😊
Samana is a village compared to most cities in the DR. You are not gonna get all those varieties if you do maybe a little getaway in an all inclusive resort once in a while might help ☺️
Really enjoyed this. Loved the honesty. I'm also a very private so I could see how that part of a small town would be annoying. I'm still coming tho. Just not next week like planned. My baby's rabies shot pushed us to the first week of Dec but we'll be there soonnnnnnnnn!
Yeaaaa, the small town thing is tough at times but luckily for me, I live a bit more secluded and you will too 👌🏽
Oh! And after you’ve been bitten enough you’re body will stop reacting to the mosquitos👍🏾 That’s how you’ll know when you’re a true local 😆
You know, I’ve actually noticed that I’ve been bitten a lot less over the last few months 👌🏽 but I’m ready to be completely immune haha
Interesting and informative 🇯🇲
Thank you my wife and I are really looking into moving to the DR. I would love to chat with one day soon. We are beginning to educate ourselves. It's very different from Atlanta Ga...
Thanks for watching! 😊 When you’re ready to chat, feel free to book a consultation (link in the description) 👌🏽
👍
Love your channel I guess because it's a small town they dont have a variety of food.
Very nice content. I hope to meet you soon for relocation information
Thank you! For sure, I’d love to help you when you’re ready 👌🏽
💯💯‼️
@Nicole.. Chinese and Thai your ain't going to find in Las Terrenas. Santo Domingo has Chinese food and Santiago. Thai food ..haven't seen a Restaurant in DR . I have been around the island much. Jamaican food you can find in Sosua .. Authentic Jamaican too. His food is so good is worth the trip to Sosua.😊🙏🏻 Oh My God .. Dominicans play that music loud! I can't man.But like you said people adapt .LOL
Yea, there are many more options in Santo Domingo for sure. I’ll have to look up the Jamaican food is Sosúa 😋 thanks!
@@LunaSoleil he's at the strip of locales in Sosua Beach. When you get there anyone can tell you his spot. Everyone knows him. His Curry goat and Oxtails are too die for.. Delicious!
Is called CHISMOSOS🤣
I think you are nice looking! But we need more videos ❤
More to come!
Coconut oil is a natural repellent for mosquitoes.
I’ll try that! Thank you 😊
Do you drink it or rub it on your skin?
Every now and then, a lizard will pop up in the home. I know that they are harmless, but that's what rocks my world. How about you? 🤣
I don’t mind the lizards at all. I have lots haha
Luna. First I would to state the we truly enjoy your videos. Thank you!
I just unsubscribed from Giamo Jackson becuase of the disrespectful immature thing that he did regarding this video. Vlogging is a matter of choice in the information that you give. I find what you say very useful.
As Vloggers I believe that you should support one another and perhaps voice your personal opinions privately.
His public attempt to dismantle everything you said was tacky, unprofessional and unnecessary.
It appears that he is going through something personal and found a target for his issue with you.
I commend you on ignoring his ignorance. Keep it moving as others will see your maturity and his lack there of.
I left a comment on his video before I unsubscribed.
Take care.
Hi there 😊 Thank you so much for your kind words and your support. I will always take things like this with a grain of salt. Peace and blessings to you!
Hope you can get a petition to the leaders of your city to get some Thai, Chinese and Indians to your City so you can get the variety spice of life food you've been craving. It's kind of odd not to have at least some Chinese, because Chinese Restaurants are usually everywhere. Tell them to make it urgent.
😂😂😂 will do.
Asian food like Chinese, Japanese , Korean food are mainly in la Duarte in Santo Domingo and other parts of the capital and also Santiago and it taste much better than what you find in USA 🇺🇸
Yes, I’ve had some great Chinese in Santo Domingo. I’m hoping we get some here in Las Terrenas one day
@@LunaSoleil ♥
Yeh, let's import people to cater to your dinner Menu? What are we talking about here??? 🙄
3o mins is late jaja try 3 hrs.
Haha exactlyyyy
16 DAYS.
Whoop whoop 🙌🏽
Most beach towns are small, Sosua, Cabarete, Boca Chica.....not just in the D.R, even in the UK where I live you have small villages, towns and everyone seems to know each other's business and gossip.... But as you confess to, being a CZcamsr doesn't help. Not to knock you, but I don't understand why people feel the need to share their lives with the whole world. Facebook is even worse...I don't have social media accounts except for business purposes. As for the food, if you want Chineses food then go to China - that was a joke.
I share my journey on CZcams to share my experience and possibly inspire others who want to do the same 😉
I absolutely agree, think about it, if I relocate to an island must be because I enjoy that kind of life and culture and try to leave my hectic life behind and it's so typical of Americans in particular to try to change the life style of other contries " WE "are a bit entitled.
Where at any point in this video did I say that I wanted to change the lifestyle or culture here? Clearly, throughout the whole video, I expressed that I love living here and that I’ve had to ADJUST because I am a visitor.
@@LunaSoleil Luna I APOLOGIZE, YOU ABSOLUTE DID NOT SAY THAT I got a little sensitive because I love the place. Please don't let me stress you with my bias interpretation of your comments. I'm in the wrong much ❤❤ and 🙌
@Maria Collins no worries, I understand how you feel. I also love this country and I am grateful to be welcomed here 🙏🏽💕
