boy does it feel good to be back here does it feel great to be in the dominican republic again
i can't even put into words how much this place feels like home to us i'm guessing a lot of you
guys are going to recognize the beach that we are on right now definitely feels like our home base
to us we are back from vietnam obviously back in our temporary home so throughout the course
of this video i think we're going to talk about exactly why this place is so special to us but
we're also going to catch you up on some things go through the stuff about vietnam what we have
it happening in the future some stuff we've been working on yeah there's there's a lot happening in
our lives right now for those of you new around here you're probably wondering where here it is
we are in cabarete in the dominican republic this place is very very special to us we've been here
well for quite a few months like half a year let's say that it feels like home to us now let's maybe
officially call it our home away from home at least mentally it is i know for most of you you
probably feel like we were in vietnam for a long time because we filmed so much while we were there
but really for us it was a very short period not nearly long enough we didn't see everything we
wanted to see so we will be going back there but we're really sad obviously to leave because we
just didn't feel like we saw enough of it but i don't know there's something special about
coming back here there's something special like this place i mean look just take a look around
it's perfection before we get into the why like why are we back here i'm sure some of you are
wondering a couple quick things i'm trevor and this is anna we are the delightful travelers just
in case you're new click the subscribe button to follow along on our journey also for everyone that
follows along we started being more active on our facebook page yes we're over there using facebook
now we're making some fun snappy kind of video content from older videos and just kind of having
a lot of fun over there so we'd appreciate if you guys would go give us a follow now let's talk a
little bit about why we came back to be completely honest here we had our current apartment rented up
until now a little later than now a couple weeks from now we're not going to be here anymore so we
had to come back so we basically flew from here to vietnam and then we flew back also let's let's
be honest we love this place so for those of you that have never been here you might be thinking
what is so special about cabaret and the dominican republic and why do you love it so much of course
we've done loads of videos in the past on this place and telling you all the information about
it and why we like it it's just a great vibe that's really hard to explain if you've never
been here before but in general we just love our lifestyle here we get up in the morning
we get some work done we can go for a long long long walk on the beach in the afternoon sometimes
we have to work and we have really great internet sometimes we can go to the pool sometimes we can
come back to the beach and there's also loads of other places in really really close distance
so there's lots to do we also love where we live at the moment we couldn't be at a better location
given we're so close to this beach and right in the middle of town but speaking of where we live
we're going to take you guys up there now for a tour welcome to the pool area how beautiful
is this spot i mean don't you want to just jump right in that pool this place might look a little
familiar to you guys that have been following along we actually stayed in this complex like five
six months ago something like that now we're back we loved it so much we're just in a different
location so that's why the pool looks familiar we actually wish we had more free time to spend
out at this pool we got back from vietnam and we actually had a few weeks so it's been a few
few weeks since we've filmed we had all this content banged up from vietnam and we're like
oh we're gonna spend like a few weeks just hanging out with the pool going to the beach
doing lots of fun stuff and oh my goodness we have been so incredibly busy the last few weeks
setting up the facebook page which trevor already mentioned we're trying to post more on tick tock
and on instagram reels so go follow us over on those platforms if you haven't already
but also one major thing that i don't think we've updated you on is that we're moving our tiny house
so for those of you that don't know we have a tiny house we got it about a year ago not even not even
a year ago yet we have a whole bunch of videos on it but it needs to move location so it's going
from where it is now to blue bayou resort which we also have a video on from a couple of years ago so
it's going up there and it's been so complicated we thought this is going to be so easy someone
just got to bring a truck over and bring it up to the top of cape breton maybe maybe what we'll do
is put a link in the description so they can book it it's going to be in cape breton nova scotia by
the time you're watching this hopefully it's there it's set up it's ready to go but right now we're
going through a lot of stress trying to get it there well speaking of this pool i think because
it's like top of mind and we're talking about it we're going to go in this thing right now i mean
it's like 31 or 32 degrees celsius so we need to cool off uh this feels really really good
did i mention a that i absolutely love this pool the temperature is really really perfect because
the outside temperature the air temperature i think we mentioned it's really hot so this
feels really good but i think now is actually the perfect time to test out something new that we got
that also happens to be this week's sponsor cali case so this is our number one accessory for our
summer fun list that's kind of funny because i know there's a lot of people watching that
well don't just like to escape in the summer they like to escape in the winter fair enough so
i guess it's our some number one summer or sunny beach destination getaway year round so with cali
case you basically get all the benefits of a gopro with only a 30 dollar price tag one extra special
thing about cali case is that it actually floats believe it or not a lot of waterproof cases do not
you don't need to worry about dropping this in the water and losing your phone we thought today
we take this in the pool to test it out but of course we will be taking it to beaches and likely
on some boat trips as well so knowing it floats is great for peace of mind we also love that by
purchasing a cali case we're supporting a company that believes in the importance of our oceans
with every order on calicase.com one dollar is donated to the ocean conservancy so click the
link in the description below and use the code delightful travelers20 to save 20 off your next
order on calicase.com and a big thank you to cali case by the way for sponsoring this video
and supporting creators like us nice and cooled off and refreshed now we're gonna give you a very
quick apartment tour right on our patio and you can see the pool is just behind us it's super
quick it's like two steps away basically but this is a nice big patio we are on the ground floor to
get table over here and then over on this side you have this huge sofa it's really great for laying
out and reading a book and just lazing around so welcome inside of our apartment we are just
off the patio area we have this huge living room area very very cozy also it does have ac in here
but we find it stays really cool so we've almost never turned that on then the other side of the
living room they have this huge setup for a tv great for chilling out and watching tv
shows which we have been doing somewhat lately all right over this way is one of our favorite
features check out this gorgeous table we are using it right now as a workstation and it was
custom made yeah apparently the owners have this custom made and you can see why this is
a huge space for a living room area it's great for eating but it's also great for working and then on
this side is really big kitchen quite functional and especially love that they just added this in
recently i think it's just it's probably from ikea or something like that it's movable but
it's great just for some extra working space otherwise we got a dishwasher cooktop this
microwave i haven't tried it but it also works as a convection oven has anyone done that before i'm
kind of nervous to do it but we should try it out so there are actually two bedrooms in this place
both with ensuite bathrooms where we're staying obviously in the master got a great big king
sized bed ac of course there's ac in all of the rooms this is the one that we do actually keep on
and then the ensuite is just behind me i'll take you guys into the bathroom here so it has a nice
vanity hey guys nice big mirror there as well that's pretty cool of course you have a toilet
and then you have a pretty large walk-in shower as well as always whenever we stay somewhere
we will put the link to book this airbnb in the description below just below the video every time
i say that someone always emails or messages and asks where it is it's just below you sometimes you
have to expand it and open it up but i promise down here below like right below the video
we have just come over to what i would call the most adorable
little alley in the whole town look how colorful this place is i'm not actually
sure if we showed you this place before it's called oh my dog and if you guessed it yeah
they have hot dogs all right what do you got over here so i love the concept here you basically pick
the type of dog that you want i went for a chicken hot dog and then you pick your toppings they have
a whole bunch of different ones but i think i went for coleslaw pickles onions and then a jalapeno
mayo well it sounds like it's so should i try it it's a good one let's go for it
that is so yummy basically if you don't want a super healthy lunch this is this is really the
perfect delicious lunch hot dog's really good i think they boil them but i don't think they're
barbecued or anything like that but the toppings are where it's at uh so like i said coleslaw
it's not too overpowering the onions are perfect i love having onions on a hot dog pickles love
pickles i could never do this with pickles and then the jalapeno mayo is like a little bit of
spice to it but nothing crazy this is so delicious i don't i just want to eat this well you know you
can film yourself the hot dog i went for is called the longanisa i think it's made out of sausage you
can see mounds of ketchup on here so it's safe to say that's going to be getting on my face
same toppings as anna some pickles onions as well coleslaw but enough talking let's just do it
well the first thing you're going to taste on here is the ketchup i mean take a look at
how much ketchup's on this but when you get to the sausage it is perfect it's flavorful
it took a little while to make so it makes me think they're doing something special back there
same toppings as we said before my favorite topping on this is definitely
the coleslaw and the pickles can't leave out the pickles you guys put pickles on your hot dogs
very curious just make sure if you come into cabaret to check out this spot it is amazing
so it's now a few hours later and we thought we'd show you well this kind of like alley or strip
of all the restaurants when you're walking here in cabaret it's one of our favorite parts and i
don't think in all our time like we've showed this now yeah we've walked on the beach a lot see it's
really nice obviously to walk down there along the water but it's cool to walk here like right at the
entryway i guess yeah all the beach bars and beach restaurants it's cool it's one of the best things
about cabaret is you have all these different kind of restaurants like right on the beach i
mean right in the sand literally in the sand maybe that's the reason we keep coming back here i don't
know all right i think this is going to do the trick got a table right here on the beach pretty
cool spot and if you look this way yeah we're only steps away from the ocean huh yeah we've probably
shown this in a lot of videos but something we absolutely love about here is that you can be
literally right on the beach your feet in the sand steps away from the ocean and have like
a happy hour well cheers happy hour cheers you might notice we're not drinking the dominican
republic presidente but it's because the place that we're at called ojo has a two-for-one special
a big big old bucket of beer it made sense plus they don't often have presidentes which are
a dominican republic beer it's like the beer that you drink here places often run out of it very odd
they always seem to have corona but they have good options but we thought it would be a great time
to give you guys an update on what's next for us because you know the months are going on in
summer in canada's approaching and you're probably wondering like what are you guys what's your plans
yeah we're actually not here in the dominican republic for very much longer exactly kind of
sad i don't even want to think about it yeah it's um we don't have much time left we probably have
about four episodes uh coming at you guys so stay tuned yeah three or four yeah it's hard to know
we're trying to figure it out but then we are going to another country and it's close to here
and it's very expensive unfortunately it's a country we've never been to before it's very
very close to here and it's also very expensive so i don't know if you guys want to make some guesses
in the comments below see if you can figure out where we're going to yeah leave us your best
guess because we'll be there for a short period of time but i think you guys will be excited
about although i think if they these guys were following us on instagram they probably would know
this already so if you've seen that don't blow it for everybody else in the comments now after
that we're going to be heading back finally to canada yeah yeah back to our home to nova scotia
we're going to be spending some time in halifax which is where we technically live yep here we'll
be spending some time in cape breton yeah we'll hopefully be visiting the tiny house assuming
it gets moved yes we have to yeah we i think we've given you a little bit of an update on the
tiny house but hopefully we'll have some more videos coming up on that we will of course be
seeing family seeing friends we get a lot of fun things planned already that we can't show you guys
watching i know last year when we were stuck back home in nova scotia you guys were very excited
of all the different places that you know we showed showed off i guess in our province
so we have a lot of stuff planned so stay tuned for that i know a lot of people have come with
us or found us through the dominican republic and we really hope you will continue to stay
with us through lots of fun things coming up so our friend here magalay has stopped over
she's one of the vendors here on the beach and we've been eyeing some of her jewelry huh
yeah so there's something here in the dominican republic called larimar i've been keeping an eye
on it for a long time and i know we only have like a very limited time left i think now is maybe the
time to purchase something because i mean we've been talking about it for so long oh soon i'll
buy somebody and i think it's because that would be perfect for to you to bring something with our
national stone to your country like a souvenir for you or for your friend yeah and larimar so correct
me if i'm wrong you can only find it's only mined in the dominican republic larimar is a standard
all over the world this is the only only place that you could get it wow you know larimar has
this name because the first person who's found it was a man he had a daughter his name daughter was
larissa he named it in the name of her daughter and my because the state oh that's cool and this
is the only place in the world that you could get larimar and only in one place of the dominican
republic okay decision made let me let me know in the comments what you think i got a necklace
nice and small and kind of delicate it's a little uh teardrop kind of cute a very
cute little bracelet like that a lot and then of course some matching earrings not bad at all yeah
so it's nice i get to take a little bit of the dominican republic around the world with me so
if you ever see her around the beach this is who you want to come to buy your jewelry
my name is magali gonzalez i'm always here in cabarete on the beach my neighbor is 36 and i also
have a store here also in cabaret the name of the store is los hermanos gift shop well now the sun
is going down here the sunsets in this place are out of this world definitely one of our favorite
things about it huh yeah and definitely as the season has gone on and we're getting closer to the 0:15:24.480,1193:02:47.295 summertime since not
like available you heard us say we're going to be here for a little bit longer maybe three or
four more videos now what are we going to call it we're gonna come back that's what you're probably
wondering is like you guys have said how much you love this place are you going to come back
and absolutely this as we said this place feels like home to us i think i mean we've put a very
mild bit of research into like residency here yeah it sounds really complicated but it's something we
definitely consider if we could figure it out i know what do you guys think i know a lot of
dominicans watching might be excited about that we're thinking about maybe uh becoming residents
here we'd love to make this our home base there's a lot to that we know but in general that's
exciting but we can tell you with certainty even once we get back on the road and we're we're in
some other places exploring we're going to be coming back here to the dominican republic in
general every year and we're probably yeah we'll make it like you just said a regular regular thing
i think we love it this is our home away from home no question but for now we are going to
our actual home like our condo that we showed you earlier and going to call it a night just in case
it rains on us yeah i know it's a little bit you guys can in the camera it looked really nice the
other direction is like dark dark dark clouds i'll be sure to put this there might be a thunderstorm
coming i'll put some b-roll on the screen because you'll see why we're about to run home but for
now guys thanks for getting this far in the video if you're new trevor anna delightful travelers we
appreciate every one of you that watch every week it means the world to us and we're just
happy to be back huh all right guys that's it from cabaret wishing you delightful travels
