As I continued, the altitude began declining and I entered Valle Nuevo. I hope folks watching this take time to notice a completely different foliage. When first entering the trail, it was tropical and now it’s taken on a northern appearance. What was cactus and palms were now evergreen and northern pine. Amazing diversity is [...]
Since I had never been to this part of the country when I first arrived at Palmar de Ocoa, I decided to drive up and down most of the seaside roads. When I scouted the B&Bs on the Internet I was actually kind of excited. Some of them looked really nice and since living here [...]
Well, I’m finally off and running once again. The Truck is ready for a real test and that’s exactly what I’m prepared to do. I left the house early this morning not having a clue where I wanted to go. I did want to cover the new bypass highway from beginning to end so why [...]
After a six plus month absence, it’s great to be back again. Anyone who owns a home understands that moving into the premises is only the beginning, not the end. There’s so much that needs to be done and it all takes time, and it takes money. Both have their limitations, at least for us [...]
Now that the many projects are all but completed, it’s time to check out the cameras, fire up the drone and get used to using the equipment. I thought it necessary to test the various equipment before heading out on another video project. Yes, it’s time again to continue bringing our subscribers interesting videos about [...]
Located in Loma Alta less than 3 miles to town. This stunning property is actually the tip of a cliff that spans around a 200-foot drop. Exceptional panoramic views! The property is 100% flat and 100% usable! Water and power to the property line. All papers are in order for a fast closing. There will [...]
Located in the beautiful area of Loma Alta, this property is actually on the tip of a cliff. It truly is the best of the best in the Montaña y Mar project. The views are unequalled! Additionally, the views cannot ever be blocked by future construction! The property is all flat and has water and [...]
Whenever I meet new people there’s always a handful of questions that for whatever reason seem to be quite common. These four or five questions may be similar in nature, however, the subjects they originate from vary extensively. Just a few subjects that come to mind are costs of living, safety, restaurants, real estate, electric, [...]
On my final video of this day trip, I stopped by the aqueduct that feeds a good part of the rice fields surrounding Mata Bonita and Las Gordas. I had a great day and hope these few short videos have brought some enjoyment to those taking the time to watch them. We’re three years into [...]
Crossing the cement bridge heading into Los Memizos which is oregano country. Many folks have experienced the goat in this country. It’s delicious, however there’s a few areas where shortly after weening they eat mostly organic oregano. The flavor is drawn into the meat. From most locals they seem to feel that it’s the best [...]
Really enjoying getting back out there with touring the small out of the way areas surrounding Cabrera. Soon enough Ill be setting up an overnight excursion, but for now these day trips work quite nicely. While Guayabito and Los Jengibres may not be comparable to the larger the huge cocoa plantations of San Francisco de [...]
Now that I’m up and running again it’s great to revisit some of the out of the way small farm towns the surround the region. When you’re living in the nation that’s supporting the strongest economy of the Caribbean and has so for the past several years you really begin to see the development. Even [...]

I recently looked up what the numbers were for arrivals to the Dominican Republic in 2022. These reports tend to be released very soon into the new year. As I am receiving reports from our subscribers on how dismal their nation’s economy is after receiving the stats, I have to take a step back and [...]
