    hi, love my country. We do speak fast, esp. my people that do live there, I don't personally haha, but lots of my Fam does. The water thing, i've never had an issue using the tap water in our house in La Vega, but maybe it's dif. in other places in the country. My own family always tells me "be safe", but i've never felt unsafe either. Thanks for sharing my home

      The bus that we took was not in the airport. It was outside. But you can take a taxi to the station

    Hi, Thank you for your informative videos. One question: if you are Canadian citizen does passport need to be valid for 6 month or just duration of stay . We booked to go next week and now I noticed my passport is valid until end of April.

    • @ChewsToExplore
      @ChewsToExplore  Před 4 měsíci

      Thank you for your kind words! We appreciate your support and are happy to know that our videos have been helpful to you. I unfortunately am not exactly sure about Canadian citizens. I would check what your government and domincan republic states online

    • @Funky13bunniewabbit
      @Funky13bunniewabbit Před 4 měsíci

      6 months or else they have the option at customs to turn you away, check the regulations of the country you are going to to be sure

    When driving, police cars will be marked as such. Was driving on my first day when a pickup came behind me and started flashing red and blue siren lights. I moved over getting ready to stop however decided to continue driving slowly. Turned out not to be a cop. This happened a couple of times on the highway between Punta Cana and Santo Domingo.

    • @ChewsToExplore
      @ChewsToExplore  Před 5 měsíci +1

      That must have been a scary experience! It's always important to stay cautious and alert on the road.

    • @ChewsToExplore
      @ChewsToExplore  Před 4 měsíci

    Does the no flushing toilet paper rule apply to resorts too?

    • @ChewsToExplore
      @ChewsToExplore  Před 5 měsíci

      It depends on the resort, but from my experience that is correct

  • @angelolima4811
    @angelolima4811 Před 28 dny +1

    What happens if you flush

    I just went in the fall and it was quite a surprise to find out I had to pay $50 when exiting the country because I stayed 6 weeks.

    • @ChewsToExplore
      @ChewsToExplore  Před 4 měsíci

      Thanks for letting us know about this! It's always helpful to hear about these unexpected costs so others can be prepared when traveling. Appreciate you sharing your experience!
