Happy holidays to all our subscribers. While driving through town on Semana Santa (Easter) I bumped into Mayor Cavolli. After a quick twenty minute chat upon leaving it dawned on me how often I see our Mayor around town overseeing the many projects beautifying Cabrera. Whether it’s overseeing the new sidewalks or making sure the [...]

Early this morning I received a call and the caller mentions “Did you know there’s another lot breaking ground in Montaña y Mar.” Not surprising I didn’t so I went over to check out the scene and see what lot it was. When I arrived they were just digging the initial tranches for the foundation. [...]
Hey guys Barry in DR. As requested I’d promise to keep you in the know whenever I find an exceptional value on a property. This property sits on 1.58 acres of gently sloped usable land. The deck supports a reasonable ocean view and the surrounding foliage is exceptional. Ideal for the person who likes quiet [...]
Continuing on with part two Moe brings up several good points worth consideration regarding on what I term the simple mistakes. Quoting Moe “you know the simple mistakes to me can be quite traumatizing for the new comers.” Moe continues with a couple of examples of what he refers to as “being climatized.” According to [...]
We first me Moe about six years ago but it wasn’t until about two and a half years prior that we became good friends. I can say with the utmost confidence our families are there for each other.

Recently I was introduced to a young man that really impressed me. It was through my partner Johnny that I originally met Daniel. Johnny taught Daniel his English so I suppose that’s how they met. About 3 weeks prior Daniel’s family was visiting Cabrera. I didn’t know at the time he’s originally from the North [...]
Those who’ve been reading my posts for any length of time know for a fact I’ve said on numerous occasions wisdom is only gained by hands on experience. In a nutshell this is why I listen to Martin Armstrong. Right from the belly of the beast is where Armstrong’s wisdom originates. How many people are [...]
On 6 August 1991, almost twenty eight years ago, the World Wide Web became publicly available. This gave birth to a whole new technology which would fundamentally change the world as we know it. There’s a multitude of ways August 6, 1991 changed the world but one thing I’m sure we’ll all agree on is since [...]
I recently came across a nice property located in Los Valles. The property’s located only 12 minutes to Cabrera and 25 to Nagua. Surrounded by beaches this property is perfect for the person’s who’s looking at being here over the next five or so years. While it certainly can be built on and lived in [...]
One question I’m often asked is what entailed in the DYD tour. Where will we be going, what will we see? You know the general questions you’d think might have an easy answer. Turns out these questions don’t have simple answers. Over the past six plus years I’ve done close to 700 discovery tours, met [...]
Throughout a time span exceeding six years I remember mentioning more than once that my home nation of Canada will be forced to adopt a Bank Recapitalization plan. Soon Canada will be mirroring what Europe and the United States have already implemented and lo and behold that’s exactly what’s transpired. We all remember the great [...]
I’m often asked “with all the countries you’ve been in and after living in six different countries what made you settle on the DR?”A good question that’s always trailed by another “out of the whole DR what is it that made you pick the town of Cabrera?” Perhaps even a better question and I’ll attempt [...]
Wednesday February 14th 2018 the US suffered its most recent incident involving yet another school shooting. What seems to be taking on the appearance of an ongoing weekly TV series recently featured its 18th episode of the year. Just so were all on the same page here I’m saying that this totals eighteen separate school [...]
