I flew from Santo Domingo to Boston… but somehow it still felt like the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴
From a Dominican airline to a Dominican Uber driver… Dominican hotel staff, Dominican Inner Circle members, Dominican food in Lynn, and even my Dominican in-laws — this trip became something much bigger than just a flight.
In this video, I bring my friend Erick (for his first time ever leaving the Dominican Republic) to experience snow, clam chowder, Dunkin’, the Freedom Trail, and everything Boston has to offer — while discovering just how far Dominican culture really reaches.
Access. Growth. Community. That’s what this trip was about.

Maaaan we could've met up for a drink and chat lol…I used to work in the Seaport I DO NOT miss it..BTW Modern Pastries runs laps around Mike's Pastries lol
I’m leaving from Boston for the DR this summer. I live in Lawrence,MA. If you really want it to feel like the Dominican come to Lawrence. Out of 100k population it’s about 60000 Dominicans
My home town of NYC 🗽 has by far the most Dominicans in the USA,but the Boston area comes in at number 2 I believe,with my adopted hometown of Miami coming in at number 3 I reckon. Most Dominicans in the Boston area are from the Province of Bani by the way. I love ❤️ Boston.
One more thing,Jeffers’s English is nonpareil. Especially for someone that has never left the country. San Pedro-ites do have a strong 💪 Caribbean English connection as well as Samana going back over a century,but very impressed nonetheless👍🏾.
Visiting daughter in DR right now. Heading back to Boston tomorrow. 😢
Yes the baggage claim at logan slow as hell !!
1st! 😂
