Dominica

Firstly, lets start off with what Dominica isn't. It's not the Dominican Republic and it's not your cliché Caribbean island. Consider it Costa Rica of the Caribbean, at least in my eyes. There is no other island in this sector that remotely resembles the sheer topography wow factor that Dominica possesses. This mountainous paradise is mostly volcanic and has very few manicured beaches therefore tourism has developed rather slowly. It has a dense rain forest, freshwater lakes, hot springs and jaw dropping waterfalls - I'm talkin' national geographic status! I managed to capture some shaky amateurish video of an uncharted black sand beach not even the locals or taxi drivers know about. We tend, I think, to romanticize poverty when it's surrounded by natural beauty. It's a country that's proud of it's indigenous population, its lifestyle make its people some of the happiest in the world from what I gather. Barely scraping by on banana, aloe and soap exports this impoverished country welcomes the true eco-tourists who come to gape. Despite Dominica being a very underdeveloped island not always preferable for the average traveler, I do plan on revisiting to spend more time exploring the hidden gems for your post viewing pleasure.

i love dominica.thumbs up if its your hometown

[@theshayjenny]

Whenever I miss my birthplace, I will watch this vid. Beautiful!

[@mandulis]

The most beautiful thing about Dominica is the people... :-)

[@kay9640]

My mom is from Dominican Republic and my dad is from Dominica, the nature island. I really want to visit and see the boiling lake he always tells me about.

[@djpanrasdaversiteoldschool8912]

wow that is rare

[@kay9640]

Yeah it's hard to explain to people lol

[@djpanrasdaversiteoldschool8912]

I can see why I'll never met somebody like that

[@AuntyM66]

Boy it must be confusing to outsiders. You are lucky, you get best of worlds, Latin meets creole. Can you speak Spanish and creole ?

[@kay9640]

Yes, very confusing lol. I can speak Spanish but not Creole. I'm actually visiting Dominica this August for the first time. Very excited.

[@vierojoseph]

Dominica, the land if beauty.....lovely Dominica the land of wonderful people....We welcome to join with us as we celebrate 36years of independence. God bless you Dominica.

Nice Post. Mother is Dominican. Met my St. Lucian father there when he worked there for 2 years then returned to St. Lucia with him. That was over 5o years ago:-)

[@anthonydodd1335]

Hello to my fello Dominicans (Ca, ka fait?) my mother was born from the Patrick family and raised in Coton Vielle cas, and resided & worked in Roseau. Three of her sisters married the Le Blanc brothers. Ethel married Edward who became Prime Minister. My ma 'Titsi' met my pa J T Allen, a Jamaican in the UK in 1957 at my cousin Ronald's christening! (Mrs Dodd).

Of all the Caribbean islands I've visited, I had the best and most fun by far in Dominica. I'm from St Kitts-Nevis btw. Best of luck in your recovery from Maria.

[@sambawomen]

That looks like the beach down the hill from my Aunty's house? It is called Antrizel Beach in Atkinson in the Kalinago territory... There is a lovely little water fall/stream where u can wash the salt water off after your sea bath... U should cover your whole body in that black volcanic sand, best natural spar treatment ever!... Glad you had a fab time :)... Don't tell everyone thought; lets keep it our little secret ;))

[@Rickeau1]

[@apc4y]

Captured the spirit, colours and feel of the country, that's for sure. Great track too btw.

[@ConstanceAllegraProductions]

Thanks for posting this video. This IS the most beautiful place on earth! I'm not just saying that because I'm Dominican either, nothing can compare to Dominica's beauty and splendor. I muted the soundtrack and listened to traditional Dominican music, and it took me back, felt like I was there again.

[@apc4y]

I hear what you're saying about muting the music. However this track really does suit the imagery

[@pimentejm]

+Jeorgia Tame saying you're dominican, u from dominica or dominican republic

[@ConstanceAllegraProductions]

+Juan Pimentel I'm from Dominica, not Dominican Republic

[@epfizerdoolittleajl2165]

+Juan Pimentel under a video about dominica isn't it obvious lool. Americans 😂

[@frenchvanilla7109]

J Tame Out of all of the islands this place is my least favorite island. Mentality of the people is very backward. Food not good and too much forest bush. The air quality is terrible.

[@Its6711]

I live in St.lucia and Dominica is extremely similar in every way possible

[@fatthobed9523]
