What I Don't Like About the US: A Personal Perspective

Exactly a year ago I decided to move to DR, it's something that I had always wanted to do and because of my job I was able to relocate pretty easily. It was a no-brainer for me - I left behind my bf (at the time), my immediate family, all of my friends, and everything I ever knew to come to a place I had only vacationed at. Yes, my family is Dominican, so it definitely made things easier but it's definitely not the same to come vacation as a child, and to come live as an adult living alone. These are my thoughts on all the negative things I can now see (that maybe I didn't realize before) about America.
I will be doing a video on all the positives soon, too!
Comment below what you wish was different about America. This video was like therapy for me - so sorry for how many times I say 'like' in advance. :)

I definitely want to travel outside of America as well. I am over the culture and need a change.

Great video.....your comments are on point........Perrito quiere estar en el video 🙂

[@AshleyRivera]

Hehehe yes

[@MsEssance]

Hello! I am a marketing major as well! I am curious about you. What type of job do you have, and have you create a video about your current job? I would love that💗💕

[@cesar2706]

Ashley, can you please let me know a good place to live in Dallas? I am planning to move with my family, I have a 4-year-old boy. I am researching for a good neighborhood with a good school system. You mention that you grew up in Dallas, I'm sure you can help me with these questions. I hope you can help me. Thank you...... D.R. is a beautiful country. Excellent video.

How are you getting things shipped here (I moved to DR recently)? Are you using a courier? We should collab! I know no one that is from the States here....

[@abrahamacosta5920]

Me alegra ver mas Dominicanos regresando al pais 😊
Lo unico malo es que hay algunos Dominicanos que estan trayendo esa division racial de Estados Unidos a RD. Ahora quieren dividir a los Dominicanos por color.

[@AshleyRivera]

Ahí sí...

[@PS-lm3tp]

So it would be safe to say your quality of life has improved by moving? Living my dream tbh but my job does not allow full remote yet :/

[@AshleyRivera]

Many companies are becoming more and more open about this so there’s hope! But yes. Honestly feel so thankful I’m able to do this 🥲

Thanks :)

[@itsrxbin]

“”just”” earning 50k… wow. i would be SET if i made that much.

[@RealBadCharlie]

Wow. Such a great video! You are right in every point. You’re lucky you left before things got even worst here in the states. Inflation is at a all-time high. But it’s going to get worse as the democrats have just passed something called The Inflation Reduction Act which will do the opposite. I’m trying to convince my wife to leave this country and go back home (DR).
Please keep bringing these types of content.

[@AshleyRivera]

Yes come back! Although things here are getting expensive too :(
