hello everyone welcome back to another video here on the channel today we're going to be taking you
through a day in our life here in the dominican republic not just any day though it's sunday
sundays are a little bit different for us we'll explain more about that later in the video here
but i have my coffee i mentioned it's sunday sunday means we put out a video today so i'm
sitting here replying to a few comments from the previous video right now and let's see if any of
you watching are going to be in the comments so there's a comment here from one of our channel
members janice langille happy new year rain rain and rain in halifax if all of you watching don't
know we're from halifax nova scotia it's winter right now at least it's raining on snow but we're
glad to be here and so see what else we have gene rays commented i was in cabarete this
whole week spent new year's eve an all-inclusive around you guys i even recognized some of the
people you filmed on the beach yeah so you guys probably can tell from the videos here cabarete is
pretty small so you recognize a lot of the same faces we certainly agree with that
there was another question here from shawno great video anna and trevor i appreciate the information
we've been following you for a long time hey quick question how does the dr compare to curacao or
dominica all right i can take this one i am awake in case anyone was wondering if i still happen to
be in bed i've got my coffee and i will try to answer this question we could probably do an
entire video on the differences but i'll try to keep it as snappy as possible dominica we do have
a video on that in case you haven't seen it before that was from a few years ago it's very untouched
it's full of nature full of waterfalls and rivers uh so that's really what it's all
about and then curacao i say it's higher end a bit more expensive and then dominican republic
much way bigger than both of those islands way more people but it's so big that it also has
so much to offer there are waterfalls there are rivers there are beaches there are cities and
towns and it's really got everything it's also spanish so it's got the latin vibe as well so we
mentioned that sundays are a little bit different for us that is because we try to relax and chill
out as i said today is sunday we're going to take you through our kind of lazy day the reason that
our days on sunday are pretty chill is because all the work through the other days of the week lead
up to this day and this is when we usually kind of try to rest and relax yeah and even though we
do work for ourselves and we basically create our own schedule we do try to have some sort of like
daily routine so like monday through friday we're often doing so web design work in the morning we
get up and we do a few hours of work and usually in the evenings as well or we might be you know
editing a video in the evening that kind of thing and then in the afternoons we do try to like
do some fun stuff while we're here you know like go out on the beach go for a walk go to the pool
go today you know have a beach day something like that for all you guys that are new around here and
you just heard a web design business yeah this is how we're able to stay on the road and travel of
course the youtube channel helps as well but we do have a web design business so if any of you
need a website designed to send us a message we can help so we are now out on our patio you
can probably see the beautiful pool here behind me we're going to try to take you guys there a little
later today but first we're going to do one of our favorite things that happens every week
every sunday we go to brunch we're gonna be taking you guys with us by the way today's video is a
little bit more about us so if you're new around here and you're like who are these two people
i'm trevor that's hannah we are the delightful travelers so we're just on our way down here
to the beach and we were curious if any kites were going to be out but yeah pretty quiet so
far today maybe again we still haven't figured out quite what the wind needs to be like for
there to be lots of kiters there's a few of those a couple up there see a bunch down at
kite beach but like the last few days especially late afternoon it's just like hundreds of them
so walking the beach here just never gets old in cabaret it's absolutely beautiful you might
be able to see the place that anna's walking to behind me it's called yalas we're gonna go try to
get brunch there hope it's not too busy it's also a little more on the pricey side for the dominican
republic it's more like canadian prices but we don't do this very often so this restaurant is
part of the millennium hotel and you can see this gorgeous pool how amazing is that this is
definitely one of the more swanky places here on the beach our food has arrived and of course we
have drinks as well we went for our regular weekly season gonna have that on a sunday and thankfully
you can find it pretty much everywhere here in the dominican republic our uh brunch also comes with
fresh juice we got passion fruit i went for a very very exciting breakfast i haven't had this in
so long it's very exciting to find it here because honestly a lot of the breakfast at uh most of the
restaurants around are pretty similar you just get omelettes and eggs and that kind of thing i got
shakshuka you guys have never had that before it's basically like a baked egg dish it's usually in
a tomato sauce it has some feta cheese on top and it comes with some crusty
bread to dip on the side let's dig into this beautiful beautiful dish i love that it comes
right in the pan like they cooked it in there there's peppers in here wow it's gonna be hot
let's see what the uh verdict's going to be
a little bit spicy but not too spicy very very savory i love the feta cheese gives a little
bit of saltiness on the top it's creamy it's so delicious so i went for some eggs
benedict and uh just breaking it open that looks like some good yolk on here i got as well uh
some bacon to kind of round that out now holiday sauce of course is on
eggs ben and it's something we don't come across down here too often so let's just give it a try
oh yeah oh the holiday sauce just seems like a special treat and there's like a
little lemon zest in that or something like that the egg is cooked perfectly
i find it's hard to cook a proper pouched egg but these guys got it down bacon is very good
as well as nice and flavorful and sitting on this nice kind of bun rounds it out there's also
kind of like potatoes i think they're a lemon potato
oh yeah also good those are big low and slow for a long time this is kind of the perfect brunch
i said before we don't do this very often because it's a little more pricey than most places in the
dominican but every now and then maybe once or twice a month it feels like a special thing to
do we try to do that as much as we possibly can well that was so good right now we're walking
out the front entrance by the street you can see the millennium sign in the background
it's very nice hotel we're on our way back to show you guys the pool just lounge there and then we're
going to take the road because it's just quicker and we have a few things we have to do on the way
a couple errands basically so traffic's pretty quiet at the moment which is kind of rare it is
really rare i think maybe because it's sunday and everyone's at the beach right now here's one thing
though cabaret needs to improve on sidewalks they definitely in the main part of the town there are
a few sort of sidewalks here it's kind of a little scary i guess you could say you have to really
watch out for cars and mud and glass hopefully they continue to put them in sidewalks so that's
the thing so had to make a quick pit stop we got some soda water and beer for the pool i mean we
can't go relax at the pool without any liquids i mean especially the beer right so by the way
guys there's one thing i don't think we ever bring up at least very often and mainly it's because we
never remember to when we're filming these videos we do have an instagram account so often you guys
ask if that exists and yeah we do yeah we post on our feed not as often as we should but we do
a lot of instagram stories and it's more like in the moment keeping you up to date with what we're
up to if you really you know these videos often come out like a week or two sometimes even later
yeah uh but instagram is obviously in the moment so you can kind of see us as we do things kind
of in uh real time and to be honest uh instagram we're not really digging the platform lately but
we do like stories and i'm curious about you guys are you guys into stories on instagram are you
still into the photo feed are you into reels we're not into reels at all but don't worry we're into
youtube and you can follow us on instagram we have made it out to the pool as much as i enjoy
brunch every week i think my favorite part of every single day is getting to spend at least
a little bit of time at the pool super relaxing i usually have sometimes have a beer it's sunday
normally i'd be having water this time of day but you know it's sunday and i also usually am reading
a book and doing the view i know a lot of people often ask us how can you possibly be productive
when you have a pool in the beach literally steps from where you're living and i know that's kind of
what it seems like but i actually feel like we're probably more productive in this situation than we
even are at home yes of course today's sunday we do don't do as much work as normal it's our more
relaxing day but we are filming a video right now and we do put a video out every sunday but
the rest of the day we just kind of try to chill but in general we find that we work harder and
more efficiently and probably less amount of time only because we have that goal of getting out here
you guys the weather has been absolutely spectacular here it there's barely a cloud in
the sky almost every single day it is sunny sunny every day i mean that's why we came here in the
first place i mean that's the kind of caribbean lifestyle the dominican republic lifestyle we are
after and because of that we are outside all the time exercising today we're just chilling
in the pool but we're still outside that leads to a mental health we feel so good being here
i mentioned in the past that we i specifically struggled with my mental health well about a year
or so ago when we were stuck in canada so luckily i worked that out with lots of different tools but
i can tell you just being here outside every day in this kind of weather is pure perfection feels
so good highly recommended if anyone can get here but dominican republic didn't think we'd
like it so much down here not gonna lie so i got my beer on the go got this from the store that
we just stopped at a few minutes ago in the video believe it or not this costs about like a dollar
canadian so yeah it's very affordable down here in the dominican republic and i'm not just talking
about the beer just being here we save so much money rather than being back home in canada where
we are from if you're wondering or you want more details about costs here because it is one of the
most requested uh questions people ask us all the time we filmed a video on the cost of living in
the dominican republic we'll link it maybe up here on the screen so you can go back and check it out
because it has all the details that you possibly need all right back on the beach it is low tide
and it's windy and we're starting to think that's the key for the kiters huh yeah there's
loads of them out here man you go away for a few hours just to the pool and then you come back and
everybody's out hundreds of hundreds of fighters lots of people on the beach it's also about four
o'clock now so it's starting to cool down that's when everyone seems to come out because it's more
tolerable but this breeze is really nice so sunday is always the busiest day on the beach
and of course like lots of tourists are here but there are tons of dominicans it's like it's
basically a family day i think for dominicans so they all come together in big groups to the beach
we've meant to take you guys up the other side of the beach here for a while
mainly because of these palm trees yeah so this is like the very very far end of the beach you
can sort of walk around there sometimes when the tide's really low but not today but there's lots
of like modern i guess complexes condos down here but then you have these really really
pretty palm trees that just come over the beach i don't know something about this side of the beach
that i really like one of the other things we like about this side of the beach is it's very
quiet and there's way less people so in times like this if you do want to kind of avoid some people
you can do that there's actually a really great restaurant up here called nectar that we're going
to go to for happy hour so it's a bit of a pro tip because nectar is considered kind of expensive
for the area if you're coming to caperette you wouldn't go there every night would you no it's
well i wouldn't say it's at home prices but it's more expensive for what's what you'll find on the
beach but they also have really good food and a really good happy hour that's the ticket a lot of
people don't know they have a great happy hour but it's only till six o'clock so we're gonna go there
right now perhaps you can see why we like it here so much it's golden hour we're directly on
the beach in the ocean it's great in front of us feet in the sand there's a lovely breeze there's
also not many people around it also happens to be happy hour mojito happy hour and that our favorite
favorite another favorite time of day i feel like i've been saying that all day look at
that mojito guys that looks like a proper mojito it's a good one so this is probably
a good time to bring up all the messages we get from you guys on instagram on youtube
on facebook about wanting to meet up with us and we're specifically talking to everyone that's
coming to cabarete or around fort plata in general we so appreciate all of the messages and we'd love
to meet up with our subscribers and we have in the past and we have met up with a few here but
now with everything going on we're just trying to be cautious and we and like trevor said we really
really appreciate it we would love to meet up with people we literally get messages like at
least once a day for somebody wanting to meet us yeah i mean it's amazing it's absolutely amazing
and we would guys we just right now again we're just trying to be careful a lot of people are
just flying in it's probably not the best option their best idea i should say to just go hang out
with people if things get better we promise we will it's one of our favorite things to do is
hang out with you guys the people that watch our videos because as we said we're just two people
we it's just us talking to each other in the camera for us we want to meet the viewers and
it just sucks right now with this whole situation but i know if it ends soon we'll have a great big
meet up with everybody but i don't we will that's gonna happen anytime very soon and
i will say just let us know she said a great big meet up and we have teased in the past and maybe
at some point we do a group trip or something like that this is definitely in the future we don't
want to do it right now but let us know what you think we'd love to hang out with you maybe we go
hang out without covid somewhere else in the world all of us together and once that'd be really fun
by all of us i mean we can't take the 90 000 of you but you know what i'm saying
i don't know how we pull that off really really big resort or a big stadium
all right we're clearly talking too much it's time to kind of wrap up the video but look at
that sun go look look at that behind me yeah it's beautiful they have beautiful sunsets here even
though we're obviously not remotely facing west but like really this gorgeous sun bounces off
the clouds like it's pink and purple it's very very pretty favorite it happens very differently
it's a favorite time of day we're gonna finish up our mojitos we just wanted to say thanks to every
one of you that watch every week every episode you guys leave us comments you hit that like button
because that helps if you don't know who we are trevor anna delightful travelers if you do know
who we are it's very nice to see each and every one of you again hopefully you've enjoyed getting
a little bit of a glimpse into our daily life especially on a sunday here in dominican republic
hope you're not too jealous every day is not like this i mean this is sunday but we do try to make
it at least this time very nice being here i will say that just remember we work behind
the computers a lot and you don't see that so we could be a really great video so next up
a lot of you have wondered where we're off to a lot of you have guessed correctly
las terranes is happening yes so many people have recommended it so many people have asked
us to go there we're so excited we've heard them find such an amazing thing and we have purposely
not tried to look up a lot about the area i haven't watched any videos so we don't even
know what we're going into i mean loosely we do so we're excited we know you guys will be excited
and that is the plan and then after that we'll probably be back here in cabaret we're actually
moving apartments after that so oh yeah lots of fun you guys will see in our new home eventually
all right guys that's it from cabaret wishing you delightful travels
