[@richardlugo3396]

That is hesterical your new studio, you guys are the best together. I like the changes you've done on the Apt, as well

😅thanks

LOL Jay mentioned about "dance classes", I was alone workin in Germany, I decided that I needed to meet people, so I started going to Latino dance clubs, 3 days a week usually on weekends, after about 2 years, I met and became good friends, and I also met my wife....lol, i didn't know how to dance, but i learned by watching, then i started doing it myself, that lead me to ask for a dance....it worked lol. Honestly, most of the best people that I know, are Dominicans, and I'm Canadian, they all say that Canadians are nice...well, I can tell you, try to do the same thing that I did in Germany, in Canada....good luck.

[@NorberisR]

See you are proof that that strategy can work. So that wouldn't work in Canada?

[@yuccafarmergaming1479]

@@NorberisR I've never tried, I've actually never seen Latino clubs there, I'm not from any big city there.

[@NorberisR]

That makes sense.

[@Thomas-yg7qg]

For sure.

[@Dee-pj7hh]

James y Norberis every suggestions you give are just correct. It is not hard or difficult to make friends in the DR. One of the easiest entry level ways to start meeting people is at the airport. You need a taxi to get to your destination. A lot of these taxi drivers know at least a little English, some know a lot. Strike up a conversation, see if this is someone you want to call again while your there to take you somewhere. Get their number. You can use the same person again each time you go to the Dominican Republic, you and this person can build a friendship which will make it much easier when you finally live there. Great topic guys, great topic, love it👍👍👍

[@queenjessicaNYC]

Great advice! I’ll be heading to the cigar bars!!! 😂😂😂

[@don2283]

That's definitely the perfect place to meet and greet

[@NorberisR]

Jajajaja you should.

[@shimonnathan7776]

I took my first trip to Santo Domingo and Juan dolio during the last 8 days. Impressed These are good tips In Panama I have BBQs with my neighbors and friends every other Sunday for the past 6 months when it does not rain. That has helped getting new friends #bbqdiplomacy

[@CarmenLeon-y2u]

You two are sooo Great! 🤩😎

[@NorberisR]

Thank we both appreciate it 🙏🏾

[@mmafan3]

Great video..I truthfully think if you bring positive energy and get involved in the right activities, everything will fall into place.

[@NorberisR]

We do too...

[@vernonedmonds8596]

I've aquired lots of friends through my wife and her sisters. I think its cute the way you say your favorite word 😊

[@NorberisR]

[@Thomas-yg7qg]

11:04 oh oh-no more cigar bar for you😂

[@NorberisR]

No he is fine...

[@joebtraveling225]

I'm in SD now but I fly out tomorrow. I agree it's easy to meet people and many different places to meet like malecon, last night it was lit. Everyone was happy, never at any moment did I feel unsafe. It was just a lot family and friends of all ages relaxing and appreciating life.

[@NorberisR]

Yes that all it is here, people enjoying themselves

[@drmshewa]

Thanks for these suggestions.

[@NorberisR]

You're so welcome!

[@MIXXVID]

Hey Guys, this video had a lot of information. Great one, thank you and keep up the good work!

[@NorberisR]

Our pleasure!

[@JermiahCrawford21]

congrats on the new spot, also for all the foreigners that are going to DR or staying in DR just go to the colmado. That's one of the best spots to meet locals and make friends.

[@NorberisR]

We agree with that.

[@jeffmantock5483]

I’m glad you did this video this advice is good no Matter where you are I brought my wife here to the US from the Dominican Republic and I’m trying to get here to go out and meet people

[@NorberisR]

Yes this can be used anywhere.

[@patrickjlouis6651]

I think taking a Spanish speaking class would be a great way to meet people , while helping you with learning the language....

[@jayrose79]

This is a good video. I’m here now in Santa Domingo now and these are good suggestions I didn’t think of. The biggest thing is to learn the language, even if you learn just a little bit. Edit: there are also a ton of Americans that I’m seeing here this time. I’m just running into them randomly. So if you’re coming from America, you will run into some other Americans that you can talk to.

[@NorberisR]

Yes knowing the basic Spanish can be very helpful.

[@nikki4911]

Thank you for this video. I’m a female that retires in 8 years and I’m looking to live there. I visit often so I can make my decision

[@NorberisR]

You welcome glad it was helpful.

[@CreativepreneurJourney]

It’s interesting that she could to make friends of people in the gym in the Dominican republics. I feel like in United States it can be challenging to make a friend in the gym. I remember when I was outside of Orlando, I used to talk to a bunch of people and was able to have a small conversation.

[@richesmethod]

Do you speak spanish?

[@CreativepreneurJourney]

@@richesmethod A little

[@TheSoloTraveler]

Wait a minute, I'm Dominican and I can dance merengue, bachata and salsa 😂

[@NorberisR]

[@aylex1974]

Is not difficult at all in SD for real even in the malecon you can start talking with random people and everything goes chill easy. Good luck

[@jamesjefferson6657]

I'm moving to the DR in January. How can you guys help with my move ?

[@SteveTuggle-rw4vm]

Hey guys, another great topic as usual. Can I ask an off topic question? I hope to move to the DR early 2025. Can you suggest a provider for health insurance? Certainly I am responsible for my own decisions but just trying to get pointed in the right direction. Thanks for all you do.😊
