  1. You guys vacation for a living which is not the reality of US citizens and you haven’t explained in detail exactly where you get the money. People in the US are struggling so how is your life vacation content relevant to real life? You are not explaining everything about your means and resources

  2. You all did just about everything! It looked fun. For me, I’d probably do one or two and just relax on my vacation. I just returned from Punta Cana and my gf had a list of things to do, a literal itinerary. It didn’t feel much like a vacation when you’re on a schedule! Next time we’ll put the phones away in our safes and just enjoy our time chillaxing. Great vid, we want to visit puerto plata soon.

  3. There is a great experience if you could have stayed were the locals they are very friendly Dominicans they very happy people verse the usa they love to feed you

  4. My faves 🫶🏽 just the other day I was asking myself what’s Monsieur Chews’ 1st name since I’m kinda new to the channel. I know Liv’s from watching old vlogs, so looks like I got my answer today 😁

  5. Boooyyy! If looks could kill. You can tell Liv was not having it with that whole excursion🤣😂. We still appreciate you for thuggin it out for the sake of the vlog girl🫶🏽😅
