The biggest hesitation wasn’t moving... it was moving with a newborn. We grow up believing that life outside the U.S. is risky or impossible, especially with young kids. I had the same fears. But here’s what I learned: you don’t need to know everything before you move…you just need a plan. Before we moved, we made sure we had: • A pediatrician we trusted. • The closest emergency room mapped out. • Private health insurance. • Pharmacies and essential services nearby. • A basic understanding of how the healthcare system worked. Was there a learning curve? Absolutely. It was my first time living outside the U.S. But once those pieces were in place, we realized our fears were much bigger than the reality. If you’re waiting for the “perfect time,” remember: there will always be another reason to wait. Prepare well, then trust yourself enough to take the leap. 💖 Comment “GUIDE” if you’d like my Moving to the Dominican Republic Guide.

Before anyone files a formal complaint with the Department of Feelings: This reel is based on REAL conversations I’ve had over the course of 21 years living in the US. Not all Americans think Spain is in Mexico. Not all Americans ask if I speak Mexican. Not all Americans think the Dominican Republic and Spain are the same place. Just enough of them on a weekly basis to provide me with more reel material 😂 it gets better and better! And before my fellow Spaniards get too comfortable, don’t worry. We have our own moments too. I’ve heard some absolutely wild things come out of European mouths. The point isn’t geography. The point is that humans are hilarious. So don’t be a pussy and laugh a little 🥰 Now tell me the most ridiculous thing someone has assumed about where you’re from. 👇

I made a huge mistake moving to the Dominican Republic… Because now I know what life feels like on the other side. My reality has completely changed. Before I moved here, I thought the way I was living was normal. The long workdays. The constant rush. Eating lunch in five minutes between meetings. Living for the weekends. Feeling like I always had to produce more just to keep up. Now, life looks completely different. I eat fresh food. I spend more time outside. I slow down enough to actually enjoy the people around me. The inflammation and gut issues I struggled with for years have improved, my stress is lower, and even though I still work hard, it feels different because I’m building something I genuinely care about. The biggest surprise? I don’t think I could ever go back to the way I used to live. That’s why I get so many messages from people saying, “I want to move abroad too, but I don’t know how I’d make money.” That was one of the biggest reasons I created our community. Every day, we’re helping people find legitimate work-from-anywhere remote jobs so they can earn in U.S. dollars while having the freedom to live in the Dominican Republic—or wherever they want to call home.

Dominican Corn Cake 📍Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 Video by: @the_butcher05 Unlike any other corn cake in the world, this is a massive, sweet, and dense masterpiece slow-baked in a heavy iron pot until it gets a deeply caramelized, crispy crust. In the town of La Vega, a local legend named Don Luis has mastered the art of slicing it. Known as the “human scale”, his precision is so flawless that he can cut a perfect, identical portion of this giant cake every single time without ever touching a scale.
