Moving To Dominican Republic | Living In Dominican Republic

[@NorberisR]

Why I'm moving back to Dominican Republic has been a question I've been receiving lately. So I decided to make this video addressing my reason for wanting to return to Dominican Republic and live in my beautiful country. If you are planning to move abroad let me know in the comments what your main reasons are.

2023 was the year I packed it all up and left Miami for Colombia. I did my six months and now I have moved on to Santo Domingo. I was just tired of the stagnant lifestyle and was ready for a change. I said I wanted to go abroad for a year but now I am thinking of making living here in Santo Domingo permanent.

[@prophetofrage8124]

Norberis I have several reasons why I am making plans to move to Dominican Republic and you named several of them. Let first say that I am a United States Marine Corps veteran who is disabled due to my service and the country I defended doesn't resemble the country that I enlisted to defend. Maybe I was naive at 17 years old but I'm still proud of my service and proud to be American despite the messed up state of things. In my time in Santo Domingo este I never felt in danger unlike some places here in the United States like Philadelphia, Washington DC or Kansas City because in my opinion violent crime in Dominican Republic is almost nonexistent. Here in the United States I've always had to worry about someone saying something because my girlfriend or wife was black and how I would react to it. For example do I confront them or walk away, how would my ego handle it? Confronting someone I risk a lot, in ignoring them I give them power to do it to someone else. So I understand your husband but in a different way. One reason why I want to relocate is the climate, I live in Kansas City and I absolutely despise the winter and the cold. That might be tied with the reasons living more freely, the cultural of Dominican Republic and getting off the American rollercoaster of life. My last reason I appreciate how Dominican women treat men, nothing against American women but I don't like demanding but I appreciate being seduced into doing something. I know exactly what's happening but I get what I want and they get what they deserve because they take care of me. Not only do I think Dominican women are beautiful physically but they have a beautiful heart and attitude. In America the belief of if I take care of a man who will do anything for me, he will take of me and that in my opinion doesn't exist any longer. I like your videos please keep up the good work.

[@NorberisR]

Thanks for sharing this. These are good reasons.

And the Dominican economy is not nearly as bad as people assume. It’s the strongest and fastest growing economy in the Caribbean and Latin America; 5% past 15 years per annum. Most people only travel to the poorer areas of the country so they make crazy assumptions. I just began the process of incorporating another company there, as I can assure you the profit margins compared to expenses are outrageously beautiful! Once you invest in the right startups and ideas of course.

[@NorberisR]

My husband says this all the time. He doesn't believe the 3rd world country stigma. Every time he is there he says ita money to be made in DR...lol! We actually spoke about this today because i said the economy there is bad and he said stop saying that...lol!

[@MrHD242]

@@NorberisR it costs more to start something in Santo Domingo in places like Piantini and Naco (the first location for this venture will be located in Naco), but the expenses compared to other places with the same demographics and spending power are minuscule. I think it was in 2017 your economy grew 9% that year. Crazy! Take a ride around Los Cacicazgos and along the Anacaona strip, you’ll see scores of luxury vehicles every minute and new towers popping up everywhere. So people are spending as if they’re in Miami.

Excellent, informative video! You are going to make some people really consider this. Interestingly, I already knew that pretty much every reason you were going to list was on my list of reasons for moving to D.R. years ago. I'm not Dominican, but I feel more welcomed and at home in D.R. than in the U.S. My cost of living in South Florida for everything was roughly $5000 more per month than my cost of living in D.R. When I fell in love with your country, I knew I had to move and gain that sense of freedom, have a better quality of life, save money and simply get away from that same roller-coaster of daily life in the U.S. Best decision I could have made.

[@NorberisR]

@@NorberisR When I made the move originally I lived in Santo Domingo, but that was too much of a rat race for me, too. I have breifly tried several other cities, too. But I eventually moved to San Cristobal where I live now. I'm in the process of building a home in Barahona now. I have not decided yet, but most likely I will use it as a vacation home for my family and run it as an AirBnB property the rest of the time since it's on the beach. I didn't love living in Santo Domingo, but I like being close enough to come into the city to enjoy certain things from time to time and then go back home to a bit of peace and quiet. LOL

The freedom to actually have a life style AND TO NOT live like a working machine robot or a copy machine doing the same thing every single day because of time/stress/ winter(cold)/...many things....because the DR is not the only place que ""tu pasa trabajo"" like some say....in the US you also experience that in many other different ways besides money or technology ..like you said ....it's a rollercoaster -you reminded me of soo many things, plus something my friend in dr says which is funny "" I'm not going to a different country to do what I refuse to do here in DR(cleaning toilets)""" LOL...I need to share your video with everyone ....the more updated videos like this that you make to clear up misconceptions the better education for everyone!! Everyone is career prepared differently, different goals, different perspectives and desired way to live. """"What's best for you is not what's best for me!!!!!!!!!"""

I would like to move back in 2022-2025 because: I miss my home (culture, family), the racism and tensions in this country have been weighing me down for far too long and I am realizing it is causing me a lot of stress, the large number of investment opportunities, and definitely the weather!!

It is sad to admit this , but the Dominican state of affairs is actually MORE stable than in the USA. Facts!

There comes a point in life where peace of mind, happiness and the quality in which one lives outweighs money. Money does not buy happiness friends. Thank you for sharing.

[@NorberisR]

Definitely a no-brainer saving that type of money per month and most of all the quality of life you have now. I think you know what's the best decision(-: Congrats!

Respeto, este fue un blog muy poderoso y estoy agradecido de que no solo haya compartido, sino que haya expresado lo que nosotros, como hombres negros, ya sabemos. No es que no puedas volver porque la doble residencia es algo hermoso. Tu historia es verdaderamente notable. Tengo la suerte de encontrar tus historias y su inspiración tan maravillosa. No me he ido todavía, pero sé que lo haremos y les agradeceré a ambos por todos los vlogs positivos que han hecho. Me conmovió y me golpeó el corazón gracias Norberis !!

I wish you and your husband and family nothing but the best, may GOD continue to bless and protect you. You graced us with your presence on KZbin and allowed us into your world and shared with us priceless information. Your videos were very informative and I gained a wealth of knowledge that will help me in my new phase of my life when I retire in 18 years. I plan on purchasing land in the Dominican Republic now and building my dream home. I'm also married to a Dominicana from Santiago for the past 2 plus years and she has also created her own KZbin channel (Fatima Price). I hope that you continue to record videos and keep informing us.

[@NorberisR]

Thank you. Wow 18 years? I will check out you wife's channel. Are you two planning to move back to DR when you retire? Does she want to move back?

In the usa I have been stoped by the police 2 moving violations. In the Dominican republic, I been stoped and harassed and shaken down for money by dominican police 29 times in 1 year. If only they could do something about police corruption. The dr police will not kill you like usa, but getting stopped could lead to serious unfounded charges. Also. My biggest issue with Dominicans I. The us,. None seem to be Patriotic, nor vote, nor join the military. They only seem to be interested in sending money home. This government gave immigrants a chance to participate in the American experience. Consider giving back to the norte america.

Sounds like a good plan 😊 I often think about moving or inventing in DR but one of mine hang up is I don't speak spanish even after living around my neighborhood of Latinos. I still haven't caught on to the spanish language only some little words but then I haven't taken the time to study the language 😂 being so busy with other day to day things like my online e-commerce business, trying to learn KZbin & watching YT, Learning Google, Window 10 etc. You see one of my weakness & strength I'm a retired senior citizen and a high school drop out that always had a side hustle 💰since I was a little girl. I agree 👍 with you if I can buy 🔙 time for quality of life, I would, I'm going to work on it that's for sure! Sorry for the long comment 🙄 that's why it's important for me to start my KZbin channel...I have a lot to talk about.

You dont need to be fully bilingual to move to DR. There are some areas where people speak some English. And yes get that KZbin channel going.
