this video is brought to you by Squarespace [Music]
today is an extra exciting day for one we're finally going to show you around our apartment
I know a lot of you guys have been asking for a tour so this video is going to be devoted
to giving you a full tour but later in the video we're actually going to pick up some friends you
might recognize them they are coming to visit for I think about eight or nine days we're going to
be doing some fun stuff with them but we're going to go pick them up later in the video so you guys
are always asking us where we're staying and today we're going to give you the best tour we possibly
can of our unit for obvious reasons we're not going to tell you exactly where we're staying
because in a previous video you might remember us saying we're going to keep renting this place
going forward and if we tell all of you where it is then we can't rent it either so our plan
is to give you also like a little bit of insight into our day-to-day life here we're really close
to the beach in cabarete and we absolutely love it and we got a really cool setup here at our place
one thing that's very convenient about living here is that we can actually get pretty much
anything delivered the grocery store if you spend I think it's like 5,000 pesos you can get all your
groceries delivered which is great especially if you don't have a car but there's also an app
called CA it's like with a k komida I think it is and you can get lots of restaurants on there but
also there's a liquor store but they have like drinks and stuff too so they have all like your
sodas and soda water so it's so much easier than you know us going out to try to buy say 24 soda
Waters and walking home in the heat with them we can just get them delivered while we're in the
kitchen why don't we start with a tour right here it's actually a pretty good siiz kitchen I really
like it I think if I owned here I'd probably put like some sort of Island right here that's really
the only thing that's missing but otherwise it's really great lots of storage over here
a dishwasher oh yeah so happy about that not all these units have that I think it'll probably added
in afterwards but so convenient they have like a stove top a gas gas stove top over here there is
no oven there is a toaster oven it's pretty small but it does the trick but basically if you're
going to do any like massive baking you might have a little bit of trouble and of course you
have fulls siiz bridge over here I'm standing in the dining room right now and all you guys
know that we always convert the dining room into an office space so we absolutely love this giant
table there's five chairs here there's another one in the bedroom that you'll see shortly this table
weighs so much like I can barely even pick it up so that's pretty wild we can see our office setup
right here we do have a water station so it's very important when you're in the Dr and many
islands in the Caribbean and around the world as you want to have some kind of a water set up
don't drink the water out of the Tab Pro tip just in case you didn't know now if you follow me over
this way uh a lot of you guys might be wondering if we have a washing machine and a dryer and we
do so this is very conven venient we were looking for a place that has this when we were searching
for our perfect home in the Dr here and well we found one from here in the dining room let's
walk over to our living room area as you can see this is an open concept space so we have a nice
sofa over here spend a lot of time just relaxing here and then we can watch the TV over there here
I'll show you guys the setup so the TV is actually mounted so it's pretty convenient cuz we can angle
it whatever way we want there's loads of storage and of course the modem down there as well and
surprisingly the internet speed's pretty good huh good and I don't even think we have like nearly
the highest speed internet we have like probably the medium internet works really really well so
you guys probably noticed the uh the stairs right that were above Anna so this actually
goes up to a loft now this is an add-on to the unit that we're in it's a one-bedroom place and
I'm walking up here to The Loft now so it's great cuz it adds this kind of like second bedroom so we
have guests coming which we do today they stay right here well hello up there so if you were
wondering why our voices sound so echoey all the time when we're filming in here it's these massive
ceilings that caus that anyway you guys might be wondering like does it get super hot up there and
the answer is yes when we first got here it was like kind of unbearably hot up there so what we
had to do was switch the ceiling fan to go in the other direction to pull some of the cooler air
up the AC happens to be like right underneath the Loft so it's probably a really bad place for that
and then we got a fan put it right at the bottom of the stairs it kind of pushes the cool air up
and then we have another fan up stairs to keep it kind of cool keep the air moving around and
surprisingly it does work pretty well so speaking of the air conditioners one thing we really like
about the building that we're renting in is the air conditioners are included in the price
actually everything is included in the price even Wi-Fi so we have the air conditioner out there and
we also have the one right behind me so right now I'm in the master bedroom and well since I'm here
we might as well give you a tour so first off this bedroom is actually really huge huge I feel like
you could probably cut it off and put two bedrooms in here instead of one or like not have the Loft
in there or maybe have three bedrooms that might be a little bit excessive but there is a huge
KingSize bed here it's super comfy and we sleep really well with that AC in here as well one thing
that's kind of weird about this is that there's like these doors over here that I think were put
in later because I haven't seen any other units in this building with this over here I don't know if
the point of that was just to get more light in here so we have these two doors here and then we
have another door that we don't even use over here leads there to the dining room one other thing is
you probably notice that the ceilings are really really high in here as well so that's why the echo
keeps happening yeah for sure you go that way I'll go this way just so I can show you guys how this
works so this is a bathroom and there's two ways to get into it well hello there so there are two
doors into the one bathroom that's in this unit of course one goes into the bedroom one goes kind
of by the dining room it's pretty basic but good bathroom you have like a pretty good vanity toilet
kind of like a walk-in blasting shower over this way and some good storage behind us too so welcome
to our outdoor space I'm pretty sure you cannot live in the Caribbean and not have a nice outdoor
area this is actually a pretty large patio I have a nice sofa over here I love this I spend a lot of
time over here yeah we spend way too much time on here there's also a drying rack right behind Anna
so that's convenient and now we have a table area as well we do do a little bit of dining out here
but not much not much really cuz the bugs do come out at night did you guys happen to notice the
pool behind me as much time as we spend out here we try to spend as much time as possible and we
can fit it in at the pool so maybe we should head down there in a second but I think first maybe we
got to get some work done so believe it or not it's um not all funny games when we're down here
in the Dr we're not on a permanent vacation we actually work and it takes a while to edit the
videos but it's not what I'm working on today if you didn't know we have a web design company and

you to Squarespace for sponsoring this video and supporting creators like us welcome to the pool
area probably don't spend as much time here as we would love to but one of our goals each day is to
at least try to get here for an hour or two even we are working we try to sneak out here and have
a little bit of relaxation time so just talking about routine one thing we do not do a good job
at is making it down to the beach we make it to the pool we just don't make it down to the beach
nearly enough I think it's because we usually have to like pack a bag and go for a few hours here
when we're getting work done like we just were we can kind of Escape quickly uh down here the funny
thing is now that it's like we're into December which is when the sun's like at the lowest point
of uh of the year it is chilly in this water you guys would be surprised like when we got here a
couple months ago this water was like bath water cuz the sun was on it all day now it's uh it's
a little bit chilly to be honest it's real it's funny all the new people that come to the building
and like get in for the first time they're all like whoa but at this point we are used to it
it is a little cold yeah it's always like that thing of like getting yourself in is the hardest
part once you're in it's not too bad believe it or not it's even worse when you get out we're in
the shade cuz you know like the sun has basically disappeared behind the buildings for the day and
I'm cold you Canadians are probably laughing at me right now but it's probably 28 right now and
I feel chilly so to warm up we came down to the beach and Cabaret is looking like it's old self
today there's a lot of wind and that means there's a lot of KS out there it's really really cool to
see it's one of the best things about Cabaret we found a little place for a happy hour it's called
Kahuna right here on the beach we got a presid Dante a light today and we got a little uh lime
or limo that we're going to put inside because it makes it taste more like a Corona so yeah typical
day here we try to make it out to a happy hour when we can and uh later on I think we'll do some
cooking at home I've actually felt really bad for the kite Surfers this season because the wind has
been so unpredictable maybe that's really normal for this time of year I'm not really sure but I
keep thinking it's going to start like picking up and picking up but every day is so unpredictable
it can be windy in the morning like completely still in in the afternoon or vice versa there's no
wind at all and I feel like it's a big treat when I come down here and see all those kite Surfers
and I'm sure for them they're super excited to finally get a windy day we did want to give you
guys a little bit of an update on some of our upcoming travel plans I'm sure you're wondering
like are you going to be leaving Cabaret and doing some other stuff and of course we will as we've
mentioned there will be some friends joining us at the end of this video definitely have
some stuff planned with them although we're still trying to figure it out we're going to be staying
in cabarete with them for a few days so we'll probably do some day trips no promises there but
I'm thinking that's probably going to happen and then we're actually heading up to the mountains of
castanza we've been to Hera before but this is the first time going to the next town up so for those
of you that don't know that's in the mountains it's a little bit colder there we have a villa
rented it looks amazing and I cannot wait we also are heading to Los panas later in the month going
to spend what a week there I cannot wait for that by the time you're watching this video
I think castanza will be done and maybe we'll be in Lanas or on our way there so question for you
guys especially ones that are watching from Los danan or have been there since we have is there
anything new any new restaurants that I've open in the last little while that maybe we don't know
about places we didn't visit or that you know we didn't visit or you think maybe we didn't know
about what last time we were there maybe some great beaches that we haven't been to stuff
like that send us uh some recommendations leave a comment all of that so as we were finishing up
happy hour we caught an incredible Moonrise and I got this footage with my iPhone of all things
we're back at our place now Anna has some dinner back there we'll go check that out in a second
but I just want to say a big thank you to whatever subscriber whoever that was that saw us there they
paid our bill we asked for the bill and we got a note and it said something like keep up the great
work a subscriber so we don't know who you are we wish you would have said hi cuz then we could have
said Thank you or or just to meet you it would be great but just know if you're watching we really
appreciate it let's see what's back here what do you got going on anyway the gas is making a very
weird noises but hopefully everything's okay okay we're making like a chicken veggie stir fry it's
got Linguini on the side and first time I've ever made this so it's kind of a peanut sauce which is
not new to us but it's got like so peanut butter ginger garlic honey whole bunch of other things
but also coconut milk so that should be really yummy and we're going to combine it all together
well it's a movie night or should I say TV show night over here we're watching the crown and we're
very excited this is back that's for sure yeah I think this is the final season season 6 you
guys can correct me if I'm wrong as we film this it's like the first half and I think the second
half probably comes out by the time you guys are watching thistime December so we're we're pretty
sure we're on episode 4 and something well big is about to happen thing big some big things happen
in the show all the time but we're curious if you guys are watching the crown if not what shows are
you watching but it's a treat to like be here look we got our food uh down here we're going to sit in
front of the TV believe it or not we don't eat out every night we try to probably make dinner
what three times a week something like yeah I'd say it's something like that um some nights we uh
eat at some of the more like let's say Dominican places where it's a little more affordable and
then other nights we will on the weekends maybe treat ourselves to something that's priced maybe
more like a restaurant back home but hey not quite not quite still it's always cheaper but
at the same time we have options here in the Dr so we do cook at home we're kind of doing this just
to show you guys we cook at home because you're probably like you're on vacation just having a
great time all the time anim made this delicious looking meal smells amazing I wish I could like
send it over to you guys right now it smells so peanuty and coconuty and I think it's going to
be delicious but right now we're just going to like sit back enjoy the show and maybe pick you
guys up tomorrow when we're uh getting closer to seeing our friends yeah you're about to see
who's arriving very soon so it's a couple of days later we didn't have a slight change of plans our
friends arrived by bus but they came a little bit later than we planned on so so we didn't go
pick them up in the car but it's a day later and they're here I don't know if they even need a Rec
like an introduction cuz they'll know who they are but just in case it's Jumping Places yeah
it's Carell and Chris you guys might remember them we got stuck in the Philippines with them a few
years ago and then I think the last time we saw each other was basically a year ago in Thailand
in Thailand you guys have been busy huh at least it didn't take too long to meet up again this time
that's right I know we got what did we say eight or nine days together we're going to do some cool
stuff we're just stoked we're so excited to see them again we feel spoiled because this is the
second group of friends that we've had to come visit us here in in karete in the North Coast
in general so now we kind of have to show it off again we have to do our best to show these guys
why we absolutely love this place expect a whole bunch of videos coming up with Chris and Carol
and they'll be in entire videos so you're going to see Jumping Places a lot also you probably noticed
I've been losing my voice throughout this video it's the more the video goes on uh I think I got
laryngitis or something so hopefully it's no big deal stay tuned for that if I if you're wondering
why I sound weird that's why so it's uh your guys first time to the North Coast right yeah pretty
much we did like Sana which I think is more to the east y but yeah this is the first time really like
the vibe though super laid back I know I was just telling them like we've been kind of hyping it up
and now we have to impress you guys so you have to see I'm impressed so far so just a reminder
that if you are curious where we're staying we're actually not giving the Linko we just wanted to
say that again but we can give some suggestions if people are interested but in general not that
particular apartment you can't have it that's right you can't have it I was telling them I
was losing my voice so that's why it sound funny but we really hope you guys like the tour today
maybe it G like it gave you an idea of what it's like to live down here what you can kind of get
can get that's the big thing we're obviously just minutes from the beach that we're on right now and
now we have friends here in the next videos coming up so excited we had friendss here before we have
new friends we now so excited to show them around cuz like we just said they haven't seen that much
of this area before no and you know what I was saying the pressure's on again I feel like we're
we're entertaining again and we got to like show these guys why we love it and we we met Jumping
Places now in multiple countries all around the world and it's cool that we keep doing that it
shows you um yeah we're all like really really good friends at this point so so of course the
next few videos are going to be us doing some various things around the area not quite sure
