Join us for a local fundraiser to benefit the local animals! Alia's Dog Training & Rescue hosts a pulga (flea market) to help subsidize neuter/spay costs for low income homes. Alia also helps with other pet needs, such as rescue, boarding, and adoption. Recently she even helped with transport for multiple animals traveling to Canada. Such a superstar! We also look at a bunch of fish and our old friend, Ralph, found his way back to us. Kris' dentist provides La Palabra del Día.

Join us on a trip 'next door' to Puerto Rico! Now that we're so close by, but also in a different country, the comparison between Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic is very different than when when we visited from New York. Be serenaded by Popi's harmonica, witness the 'posture incorrector' hammock, salivate over the best empanadas in northwest Puerto Rico, and marvel at the wonders of a Walgreens! So does the 'Isla del Encanto' have the edge? Or does DR truly 'Tiene Todo'? Of course it's not that simple...

Join us for a day trip to Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic to see the last day of Carnival (or Carnaval in Spanish) 2026! Our tour guide, Marcos, takes us to a number of spots in Puerto Plata, including a cigar factory, a chocolate shop, Pink Street, Umbrella Street, and concluding at el Malecón to watch the parade. Marcos provides the Palabra del Día. Also a gorilla dances for beer...you'll see. We love tips!

We talk to friends Rob & Sovi about their real estate insights and see two of their properties, right next to a great beach. We would like to buy something ourselves in the future, so it was a good day, both visually for informational purposes. We had never see much of East Cabarete before. Sovi provides the Palabra del Dia this time. If you're interested in these properties or are interested in working with Sovi & Rob, send us an email (dominicatedpodcast@gmail.com) or a DM on IG: @DominicatedPodcast and we'll set it up.We love tips!

Join us for a day trip to Cabrera with some friends! We stop along the way for some photo ops, attempt to get breakfast at a beautiful spot, succeed in getting lunch at another spot, and nearly blow out our eardrums and mic with some local music. Of course there is a new Palabra del Dia for Kris, and some Plátano Power. Reina peeks at a scary bathroom and we look at some beach spots that are off the radar for most tourists, like Playa Diamante. We love tips!

As new expats in Dominican Republic, we go have dinner at Mar y Brassa right on the beach in Cabarete. We talk about seaside restaurant options, Reina almost falls into a hole, and Kris learns some Spanish. We also discover the awesomeness of Platano Power!
