Paradise Island In Dominican Republic!! (Catalina Island) Nov 2022

[@CB-dl6cz]

Yes, William is returning to Mexico! 🇲🇽❤️

[@teresad6513]

You're growing up, my friend. Happens to most of us. Never lose your curiosity and adventure spirit.

[@DominicanInfo]

Welcome to Dominican Republic. I love My country 🇩🇴😍.

[@JAMP1865]

Thanks for promoting my country, very nice video. Some history, the Romana town is known for one of the top Caribbean resorts “Casa de Campo” but everything started with big sugar cane fields and a sugar cane mill, located at you right hand on the way to Catalina. In the past farmers brought the sugar cane to be be weighted there, there were a big scale branded “Romana” so the name stick.

[@hivolco151]

I love hearing you might return to Mexico... I love that country and the many many unusual activities... Like the Mummy Museum, and So many ancient cultural ruins! Does it seem like there are more archeological sites than just about any other country? I read that Mexico has the most Museums of any country per capita and that most of them are pretty amazing! I would love to see you get permissions to show us more inside some of those places... Looking forward to your next video!

[@TulumToCancun]

$60 for that day trip seems like a pretty good deal. Catalina island looks beautiful, and I’m really happy to hear you’ll be heading back to Mexico soon.

[@claudiaoterohernandez920]

Thanks for filming the island. I was there in 1999, and I wanted to see it again.

[@mikelmartin]

The way you edit your drone shots is outstanding. I Cant wait for your travels back to Mexico.

[@erickm3609]

MEXICO! yes!!! Your Mexico vids are awesome. Keep ip the great work

[@MrJdy18]

Yes dude!! Mexico for the winter! Yewww! Idk what it is dude but you are made for Mexico, it’s definitely your vibe. Another great video, keep it up!🤙

[@powd46]

In Santo Domingo you can be safe around the Colonial Zone, el malecón, La Esperilla, Piantini, Mirador Sur, Naco, El millón (most of it), Sarasota, Bella vista, Los Robles, Gazcue (most of it). Enjoy!! The areas around these are also quite safe but always stay awake! 😅🇩🇴

[@powd46]

@@williamtaudienWhat a bad luck! in my entire life that has never happened to me

[@andreavanda5402]

William, I agree that constant traveling is extremely exhausting after a while and so it's good to put down roots some place for at least a few months and find a couple of good people to hang out with. Otherwise yes, it can be quite lonely. I am going through that myself right now and trying to figure out where to put down some shallow roots, so to speak. Going back to Mexico seems to me to be a good idea. I'm there right now and love the beach communities. The challenge is finding exactly the right place, but I'm sure you will since you've been to many different places there. So, best of luck William. Also, you're almost at your goal of 100,000 subscribers - only 15,000 to go! I predict you will get there by the end of this year. I'm rooting for you. ❤️

[@essencehealing2405]

You deserve 100000+ subscribers, I suggest team up with Maria. Couples create more subscribers.

[@nicholasclark23]

Thanks for this mate and appreciate you giving the viewers a taste of nightlife in the DR even though it’s not your cup of tea anymore. Keep up the great vids brother! 👍🏻

[@tortulas]

I feel your pain riding that boat....looks amazing as always with your drone shots!! Be safe as always 🙏

[@gogostyle33]

I’ve been there. It’s beautiful!!!!

[@valeriemullen1702]

William, go back to Mexico for the winter, catch up with your family for the summer. We love you and Mexico and hope to see you

[@pamfaulkner7026]

You may be returning to Mexico; yes great look forward to more of those videos. Seems a bit of the beaten track less touristy where you are at the moment, which isn’t always a good thing. Looking forward to your next video in Santa Domingo. Take care William.

[@r.j.bigbrain3370]

Hey William, love your vids and your personality! Miss Maria, I think you should put a ring on her finger my man. Don't let her get away!

PS AS many others have stated.. your drone shots are amazing... the best on KZbin !!!

[@v.pineda4258]

Great video. Isla Saona is the most famous of the two. If you go to the port you will only have to pay $20 USD.

[@teresaramos1719]

Would love to see you your the Nordic countries ..Finland ( Lapland and the northern lights) Sweden and Norway have spectacular sights to behold and would create excellent content to get you to that 100,000 subs. Good luck 👍 💓 ✨️ 💗

Getting older William 😀Please stay safe in Santo Domingo!

[@Rubialoversnet]

[@stevep.1529]

Thanks for another video! I always stay at least 4 weeks in each location. With Airbnbs, you can get a sizable "monthly" discount by staying 28 days. It reduces overall costs and reduces travel time. Also, I get to meet more locals and develop friends.

[@williamtaudien]

Yes I did that during the pandemic mostly. Pretty good discount for 1 month or longer stays

[@stevechase7568]

Very true Steve. I have suggested to William to follow Dan and Cheung of Vagabond Awake and Hobo Ventures. You might enjoy them as well. William could likely reduce his expenses and increase the income from his business if he would be wise enough to follow their lead. Might well meet new, compatible travel partners for increased joy in his life.

[@matthewjohnson1211]

I agree! The problem for William is can he capture the “Mexico magic” a second time around? I love Maria -but I think William needs to meet a local señorita to show him the country!

i like your idea of Sweden in Summer and Mexico in Winter, sounds like a plan my friend!

[@Ben10NH]

Hi William, It is nice to travel around the world through your videos. Thanks for visiting my country. I will be visiting my hometown in a couple weeks. I'm from the city of Santiago. If you go to Puerto Plata, I would recommend to visit La Ensenada Beach. If you dare to go a little further northwest, go to MonteCristi and it would provide a more relaxing experience. If you are really looking for a real island experience and get to know the people there, then visit the inland provinces. The culture there is so rich, the food is even better, not to mention the natural beauty of its mountains, rivers and waterfalls.

[@nellycortez1077]

Overall William this was a cool video! You’re always fun to watch no matter what do. 😊 be safe and enjoy!

[@kyronwalsh]

You’re sooo close to the Yucatan, I’m hoping for William Mexico Pt 3 with special guest, Marvellous Maria:) There is at least a dozen viral videos to unlock there my friend. Think Isla Mujeres!!! In Mexico you will break 100k subs! Mark my words!

I never got sick my first time on the boat I rode up front standing up so I wouldn't but I absolutely loved those waves! as we went out 70 miles out in the ocean there were dolphins jumping up out of the water & around for us to see!! It was so awesome at Dry Tortugas National park in Florida. It was like torquoise blue water, absolutely amazing, I went snorkeling there it was very beautiful! back in 01' I will definitely say enjoy all that if you can everywhere you travel.Stay healthy & Happy! You're a huge inspiraton to many people out in this world! I want to see you excel at all you do, You are amazing! Thank you for sharing your videos, stay safe, I look forward to seeing more of your adventures!!💞✌️😉🎉🧡

It would be great if you come back to Mexico William. Maybe consider coming to San Miguel de Allende? The food here is great, tons of really good restaurants and roof top bars and it has a good vibe here with warm sunny days and cool nights.

[@williamtaudien]

How much does a modern 1 bedroom apartment cost per month there? In a safe apartment complex with a pool and gym

[@expathomesharemexico]

@@williamtaudien Sorry, I just noticed your message William. I just text a lady I met recently that was supposed to have moved into a nice building with a pool in a gated building and asked her the price as I know she was moving into a one bedroom there. I also have asked her about a gym. I'll get back to you once she replies to me. Prices in San Miguel de Allende can vary wildly but bargains can be had. My husband and I and our 3 dogs moved into a really cute upper story duplex (fully furnished) two bedroom very rustic with loads of storage 5 minutes to the centre of town for only $500 USD a month including high speed internet and all utilities which is a steal. I am guessing you are looking at a minimum of $750 USD-$1000 USD a month for what you are wanting though. Will let you know what my acquaintance says when she gets back to me.

[@williamtaudien]

@@expathomesharemexico thanks :)

[@expathomesharemexico]

@@williamtaudien Hi William. This girl got back to me and said she is renting a fully furnished one bedroom apartment with all utilities included for $13,100 pesos a month which is about $676 USD; this is better than I thought it might be. She said her apartment is slightly older rather than modern (but I think it would be nice) and that the building has a gym and when I asked her the size of the pool she said it was large. She is on a short 2 month lease but has to give one month's notice so it says 3 months - but of course as she mentioned, every apartment in the building would be different. The climate here is bizarre - but in a good way. Even now, it can get very hot for a few hours in the afternoon where I had been thinking I'd love to jump into a heated pool (I used to swim for an hour a day in Acapulco). But it gets cold at night and in the morning. I tried to find the place online and couldn't so I sent her another message asking her to text me the url and/or phone number. What I will do is when she gets back to me tomorrow, I will send an email to your gmail address from my 'mex homeshare' gmail address - to maintain your privacy - in case you did end up there. It's in a good area too - near shops, cafes and restaurants and close to town. Will touch base 'mañana' - Marianne

[@DianaM88]

Nice video! I understand you very good with the sea sick. In june when I was in Zanzibar I almost threw up on a little boat. The feeling is so bad, I hate it, but it's worth going on a boat because you see a lot of beautiful places and beaches where you don't have acces with something else. Can't wait to see your next video!

[@RyanKentBarnhart]

About a month after your visit to Catalina we took a sailboat cruise there. The cruise was great, they had a couple of georgeous Dominican girls dancing and getting the toursists moving. The island was fun, but I too was getting "annoyed at a few things". I was tipping anyway, but the bartenders basically would refuse to pour you a drink unless you did. Next time I'll take a bottle of rum and give them the finger, lol. But yeah, solo travel can sometimes be a little lonely.

Your dream is a perfect dream for you, I think. as for being seasick some people have it for 3 or 4 days before they get used to it, I think with your style of you tubing you sailing the Caribbean would be a huge success. Do it!!! There is something about sailing video's that are addictive to watch. The content would be so different compared to hotel rooms walking and talking. The best part of your video's is you!!! #1 snorkeling #2 visiting seaside towns #3 exploring new things #4. A small sailboat I think you could operate it by yourself. Intern on a sailing boat and learn the ropes literally. I can't wait to see you sailing.

So weird I was un subscribed for some reason? Re Subbed, I skipped Santo Domingo and went straight to Puerto Plata and then on to Sosua which I ended up staying for 2 Months. Looking forward to seeing what I missed in SD

Somethimes you mee amazing people, somethimes you have a bit of an offday, even when you're in a amazing place. Maybe you should consider the thing you said in the video, live half time in Sweden with your family and half time in Mexico. At least if you promise to keep sharing your video's with us;)

You must go to Santo Domingo Colonial Zone the first Colonia un América anda visit Museums and try street Food.

Go up north from Punta cana. You will see untouched beaches with cliffs like in Indonesia

[@jimjenkins3313]

William you are correct that boat was too small for the number of passengers. I've been around many and that was not good from a safety perspective. Have you ever tried Dramamine for sea sickness? It works! Carry on Amigo and be safe. I too have heard your next destination can be dangerous. Head on a swivel friend!

[@alexc1913]

Drink some Dramamine for the sea sickness it has always helped me on boat rides specially when I went to Cozumel.

[@lizstromsnesdolz629]

If you go back over to Punta Cana and look for other all inclusive, we have stayed at BARCELÓ and Riu. If you stay at 1 Riu, you can use the facilities at all 4 of the Riu's. They are nice!

[@alinafakin370]

I wonder if in your next videos you could talk a bit about the difference among the warm-climate countries (Greece vs. Mexico vs. the Caribbean etc), in terms of were you felt most comfortable, which place has the best quality of life for the price, the kindness of people, and last but not least, what place is still "western" enough for a typical European to not feel totally displaced. You know what I mean. :=))

[@alinafakin370]

@UCAd5GFBinCLtKK1QKWVQGGg Thanks for your input. I did not mean "western" in terms of clubbing all-nighters, loud American music and burgers :=)), but just so that the culture shock is not too great. I love a multi-culti environment and learning about new cultures, but I could not eat cats all the time, if you know what I mean... China would be a place I probably would not feel comfortable in (though I cannot be sure as I've never visited). Mexico does sound interesting, but perhaps something a bit less touristy than Cancun?
