What I Miss About Living In US ( Living In Dominican Republic )

I didn’t live in the US for my entire life only about 8 years. I’m originally from the Dominican Republic but only lived in the Dominican Republic for about the first 5 years of my life. This is relevant because I’m not 13 years old, so there’s a gap of almost 14 years of me living in places like Tortola and Puerto Rico. ( I’ll tell you later how that affected me ) Now I live full-time here in the Dominican Republic, is there anything I miss? I’ll talk about the few things I miss and the truth behind them. 💲Patreon Exclusive💲 https://www.patreon.com/tommybryson 😎Call Me😎: https://bit.ly/30IBr0i 😎Second Channel😎: https://bit.ly/3c4sVPS 👨🏽‍💻Financial Freedom Course👨🏽‍💻$100 OFF CODE: LONGTERM Link: https://longtermteam.teachable.com/p/financial-freedom-steps-from-nothing-to-freedom 1. Convenience In The US (this is my fault and my Choice ) - Amazon - Uber - Insta Cart These are all things that are used a lot - Here Amazon Prime doesn’t work, more like Amazon 1 week - Uber is mostly for cities, so here we use buses, taxis, and moto taxi - Insta cart, not where I live If I lived in the Capital or Punta Cana: - I could probably have access to one of these services - But the truth is, it would be such a waste of money - We shop for groceries maybe weekly - And amazon not arriving so fast, has saved me a lot of money on shopping like a crazy person and spending money on Prime 2. Highways and Roads - This I really miss about the US - You have no idea how much safer it is to drive in the US than in Dominican Republic - While I’ve been here I’ve been in two accidents, people backing up without looking and people trying to pass me on a highway without time The Best advice for people is: - Create a routine where you don’t need to drive long distances - Try to drive at night - And learn to protect the other person - Be patient 3. Food quality - Although American food sucks for the most part - We do have options in certain places to shop for organic - Here that doesn’t really happen ( it’s a very small market ) To me it's important: - The meat you eat - The fruits - The veggies - Filled with chemicals and pesticides Long-term solution for this: - Grow your own food those you see me learning the basics - With the latest video I made 4. Poverty - This seems strange but it's true - Poverty in the US which I was in the section for a few years myself is different - We were poor but The difference: - We had internet - Phone service - Food - Fridge - Housing - And all the basics That’s not the case here - I know certain people say the Dominican Republic is not a third-world country that its rapidly developing - But go to the neighborhoods, go to the hospitals, go the markets, and lastly visit people in their homes 5. Recreational Activities - Like parks - Running people - Sports people - Just more recreation The truth: - The most wealth the community is, the more you see this - But here depending on where you live, and I live in a not wealthy neighborhood at all - Those things are not given any importance The gyms here are: - Are disasters atleast where I live Let me know if you want me to make a video about the things I don’t miss about living in the US * PRO TIP* INFORMATION IS EVERYTHING 💲Patreon Exclusive💲 https://www.patreon.com/tommybryson 👕Merch👕 https://teespring.com/stores/tommybryson ✅2 FREE AUDIOBOOKS✅ https://amzn.to/2Enayo8¬¬¬ 🎁ACORN FREE $5🎁 Link: https://acorns.com/invite/38EYSU ⚡FREE KINDLE UNLIMITED⚡ (traditional reading) Link: https://amzn.to/2VGbxt9 👨🏽‍💻DISCORD PRIVATE GROUP👨🏽‍💻 https://discord.gg/EcZEHpA My Camera Gear: https://www.amazon.com/shop/tommybryson ✔ Help Us Reach 600,000 Subscribers: https://goo.gl/0wvm6w 😎All My Social Media😎 Link: https://linktr.ee/tommybryson --- Disclosure & Educational Disclaimer: Some links in this video may be affiliate links, and I may earn a commission.
