Culture Shock in the Dominican Republic: What Our Family Didn’t Expect

Описание: In this episode, we discuss our recent trip to the Dominican Republic, sharing our initial impressions and experiences navigating a new culture and language.

We recount stories from our travels, including an encounter with locals using machetes, and our thoughts on the area's economic disparities. We reflect on our observations of local life and the importance of investing in communities meaningfully.

We also share how these experiences influence our ideas for future business ventures and community development. Tune in for insights on cultural exposure, personal growth, and a special announcement about our upcoming couples' health challenge.
