We first met Juan about nine years ago. Wow how time flies!! Seems that more and more are losing faith in the directions and the paths their elected are heading in. When I first met Juan it was on one of our excursions. Juan was born in the DR and at a young age was [...]
They say that time flies when you’re having fun. I don’t know if that’s always true but nevertheless time does fly in certain circumstances. I can’t believe by the time this video is up it will exceed a month since my last video was aired. While there are several reasons for the time delay the [...]
It’s really great being back with you all. Hope the New Year brings in positive changes but of course that remains up to us as a collective. This being a collective effort holds true for any nation regardless of its location, size or beliefs. This energy is also timeless it lasts forever in its endurance. [...]
It was one of those days I had all planned out. We’ve all shared in that same experience when the entire day’s been prearranged and in order to complete, needed to be performed in sequence. Well here’s a quick question for yah. What happens when it all falls apart? How do you handle it? How [...]
It’s just another normal day in the regions surrounding the little town of Cabrera. Since I’m back on the road doing what I do, why not hop on in and join me for the ride. This time I’m heading out to a town call Payita. We’re negotiating with the owners of a new project featuring [...]
The Facts are in and they speak for themselves. August 27, 2020 A big high five goes out to all the folks over at Blaze TV. As an active member of the mentors research group I can say from hands on experience, from wisdom how much time and effort goes into finding this kind of [...]
May 2, 2020 I’m Glad I’m Not Young In Today’s World Most long time subscribers can relate to the fact I’m forever stressing the importance of asking the right question or questions. Another thing I accept complete responsibility for is I continually stress the point of how important it is for you to first unlearn [...]
Wow! Lately it’s been so busy for us that Liane finally had the opportunity to edit, post and release this video. I had the pleasure of spending a couple of days together with two awesome folks named Roberto and Jennifer. It was news to me, but apparently they’ve been avid subscribers for a long time, [...]
I recently spent a week with two super folks we met the year prior. Rob and Jackie hail from Philadelphia and they decided to pay us a second visit. I guess something about Cabrera they felt was worth a second look as the location to spend their retirement years. Towards the end of the trip [...]
I love hearing from our subscriber’s. It’s the reason I do my best to answer every email or comment. I recently received an email from a couple of long time subscribers who were on vacation, but not in our region. They were vacationing over in Las Terrenas and after watching almost all of our videos [...]
For the most part this video goes out to our overseas subscribers. Being holiday time this is the first chance I’ve had to get over to video Rebeca’s new grocery store. I really enjoyed making this video and for several reasons. The first is the following; While the majority of economies are feeling the pinch [...]
I’d like to take a few moments and introduce our subscribers to yet another excellent choice of lodging while visiting the areas surrounding Cabrera. Yes Cabrera does have choices when it comes to restaurants and lodging. The Down Town Bar Restaurant and Hotel offers a spotless clean setting at family prices. It’s safe and spotless, [...]
It seems that the progress continues around the region surrounding Cabrera. For the area of Los Valles this new paving means a lot. It actually opens up the area from lower Loma Alta through Los Valles eventually exiting back to the main highway. Enjoy the ride as I narrate what seems to be an ongoing [...]
When first settling to Cabrera and after taking the necessary time to detox from the former stresses of living in fast paced cultures, that define who you are by what you own and do, one of my first desires was this. I’d hoped that the quaint friendly town of Cabrera would eventually be seeing small [...]
I first met Daryl sometime in mid-March of this year. We initially spent some time together previewing the area and after getting to know what his plan was, it seemed Cabrera could suite his needs rather well. Even though Daryl is a frequent visitor and has covered the greater part of this country there seemed [...]
The infrastructure surrounding the region of Cabrera just keeps on improving. Here’s the latest update as the roads in La Catalina and Caya Clara have been recently completed. What was once a pothole filled old pavement has now been transformed into a smooth passageway leading to many residential areas. Join John and myself as we [...]
We keep mentioning how one step at a time our area is developing. While we do several road videos this one targets more of our subscribers than any of our previous endeavors. Sure it’s one thing expanding rural country roads, but it’s quite another when it’s the main highway. From Puerto Plata through El Catey [...]
While most people living in Cabrera already know about Arturo’s restaurant this post goes out to all seasonal residents and visitors. If you’re looking for a good meal at a fair price you owe it to yourself to give Arturo’s place a try. They’re located on the main highway (la carretera). Enjoy the ambiance while [...]
As an ongoing effort to keep our subscribers in the know about what’s taking place around Cabrera, I follow up on a tip received from my partner Johnny. While Johnny was previewing a piece of land (apparently it’s been a while since he’s headed out in that direction) I received a text explaining that the [...]
What was originally going to be a video about the many “why’s” that we’ve heard turned into what is now our new information video. With hundreds of tours and excursions, the thousands of people we’ve met over the past 12 years, there’s one thing that remains constant. What eventually began to grab more and more [...]
In the ongoing effort of keeping our subscribers in the know I wanted to bring everyone up to speed regarding the area between Boca Beach and Sunshine Beach. It’s now paved!! I’ve mentioned for quite some time now about the fact that there’s too much money involved and that the area would be developing. There’s [...]
I begin by heading out on the backroads. Taking dirt roads I was heading towards the town of Copeyito. Once through Copeyito I headed to Los Cajuiles. Some sections were actually first time areas even for me. There’s literally that many backroads to choose from. I finally ended up in Los Cajuiles but arrived from [...]
Last weekend the town of Cabrera celebrated the opening of what’s being christened International Boulevard Dr. Ramon Arturo Perez Dalmasi. Several key speakers along with Mayor Jorge Cavoli headed up an hour long inauguration christening the enhanced entrance to the town. Approaching from the Nagua direction, residents and visitors alike now enjoy a welcoming boulevard [...]
I invite you to relax and spend the next few minutes watching what at least I think is an informative video. Meet Daryl, he is a seasoned traveler and while he mentions his “short list” of countries he’s visited surrounding South America and the Caribbean, when spanning the balance of the globe Daryl’s list continues [...]
Our main objective on the Something Feels Wrong YouTube channel is to keep our subscribers up to date with the latest developments in the region surrounding the quaint little North Coast town of Cabrera. It’s a passion Liane, Johnny and I really enjoy. With that in mind it’s time to release the latest development in [...]
It seems that the groundwork around the region of Cabrera just keeps on rolling. In my latest video I’m traveling down a road that passes through Los Valles. Los Valles is an area that runs parallel to Loma Alta only at lower altitudes. As I’m narrating this video I can’t help but reminisce about some [...]
January 21st 2019 was not only Martin Luther King Jr Day it was also Dia de la Altagracia Day in the DR. Either way it represents a long weekend. What started out as an overcast day in Cabrera reformed into one of the nicest days that I’ve seen in a long time. With no ulterior [...]
As the new year commences I want to take a moment to wish all of our subscribers the best in 2019. We had a great holiday season spending it with some of our closer friends. A few good parties and a lot of good times made for one excellent set of events. The food and [...]
I just wanted to take a moment and wish all of our subscribers the very best for the holiday season and throughout 2019. Looking forward to touring with several of you in the up and coming new year. However you choose to celebrate the holiday season may the memories be everlasting. Enjoy some local scene’s [...]
IT’S A DONE DEAL!!!The entire region spanning from Loma Alta back to the main highway has been completed. I made a statement about two and a half weeks ago that the remainder of the asphalting spanning from the Montaña y Mar project through to the main highway would be completed before the Holidays. Currently the entire [...]
The DR offers endless possibilities when it comes to seeking adventure. There’s hiking, scuba diving, windsurfing and white water rafting just to name a few of the many choices waiting for the enthusiast to enjoy. Due to the mountainous terrain the change in climate offer a unique and diverse environment that almost anyone can enjoy. [...]
Ride along with us as we continue to travel over some of the roads being paved. We bypass a cluster of machinery that’s spreading hot tar and continue over some of the roads that over the next week will be paved. This opens up an entirely new area for us as Johnny knows several of [...]
In efforts of keeping you all in the loop the next few videos will be covering all the new paved roads appearing in the region. Yes the region surrounding Cabrera is developing at a nice maintainable pace. I remember mentioning about four year prior that you should expect to see the outlying regions receiving several [...]
Our subscribers living abroad really seem to appreciate the continuous efforts we put forth towards keeping them in the know about what’s occurring around the town of Cabrera. Keeping that in mind I want to let all of our offshore subscribers know; finally they’re installing cement speed bumps on the main highway running through Cabrera. [...]
Sept 19 2018 Taking a Look At The Big Picture Taking a look from the macro perspective, viewing the big picture I want to demonstrate just how manipulated we currently are and perhaps always have been. As I often do I”ll bring up a little history during the post only this time it’s coming from [...]
We received some sad news that one of our neighbors had passed away the previous night. His name was Alejandro, Alexander in English. We received the news early the following morning when another neighbor came up the hill to our house. At the same time we were invited to addend the funeral. Over the years [...]
September 12, 2018 Balance Effects Everything I recently enjoyed a stimulating conversation with one of my mentors who lives overseas. It’s now exceeding a decade and a half since first closing the TV and flexing the mind. Slightly over fifteen years spent researching for the sole purpose of seeking truth. Truth, objective truth, wherever the information [...]
Life through the eyes of a Centenarian I’m at the ripe middle age of 61 and still I connect with my mom every day. Whether it’s a quick email or a message even a call we somehow manage to link on a daily basis. For some this might sound a bit strange coming from someone [...]
Recently I had the opportunity to spend a week with Juan and his family. Juan and I first met about five years ago when unannounced he happened to be in Cabrera and initiated an invite to meet in person. Apparently Juan’s been following our blog for several years and always wanted to bring his family [...]
We met Joe and Maggie almost nine years ago. In fact it was Johnny who introduced us to begin with. Several year’s prior they both left Cabrera to pursue business options State side and eventually a percentage of these options blossomed. Turns out they’ve built an elegant second home in Cabrera. After quite a long [...]
Well it’s Labor Day long weekend in the Dominican Republic. A happy Dominican Labor Day goes out to everyone who’s watching. I headed out to Loma Alta and thought I’d check out what’s happening in the developments. On my way out I ran into dozens of folks on horseback. These were fine horses well trained [...]
It’s been just shy of seven years since my first discovery tour took place. During that time span between the meet and greets, the discovery tours, the thousands we’ve met along the way, good folks hailing from every part of the globe one thing still remains intact. One commonality still remains unchallenged. For as long [...]
On the last segment of this mini-series I take a rarely used old sand road that will connect Boca Beach to Graveyard Beach. Graveyard Beach seems to be the popular choice when Liane and her friends get together for a ladies day. Every week or ten days they seem to untie on this as their [...]
Hop back on board and let’s continue. We’re picking this up at Sunshine Beach. I’m going to tour around the shoreline for a bit before meeting up with the main road connecting these two pristine beaches. I asked Liane to splice in some music while taking the journey it’s quite a long stretch. Even after [...]
After our last guests departed I had a bit of spare time so I decided to do what I enjoy most. Taking out the 4X4 (YOTA) and enjoying some out of the way beach roads. Of course the back roads and mountain roads aren’t excluded in fact Johnny, Alduino and I will be setting out [...]
I’m sure by now you’re already aware that “ole” Barry in DR really gets around the region. Heck the entire country for that matter. Our team makes every effort to promote all aspects of the DR and not just concentrate on the ordinary or the mundane. So whenever I get the chance to give back [...]
I received an invite from a friend to come on down and Meet Francisco better known as Francis. Francis is the owner of a 700 plus acres property. Over the past couple of years Francis has developed this property into what’s become one of the most unique ways to enjoy a day in nature. It’s [...]
Many subscribers may recall an interview I did about a year ago with a great couple from Canada Rob and Michelle. About a year prior I met them on one of our excursion tours. Even though they’ve been to the country nine previous times never ventured into our neck of the woods. While very impressed [...]
Happy holidays to all our subscribers. While driving through town on Semana Santa (Easter) I bumped into Mayor Cavolli. After a quick twenty minute chat upon leaving it dawned on me how often I see our Mayor around town overseeing the many projects beautifying Cabrera. Whether it’s overseeing the new sidewalks or making sure the [...]
Early this morning I received a call and the caller mentions “Did you know there’s another lot breaking ground in Montaña y Mar.” Not surprising I didn’t so I went over to check out the scene and see what lot it was. When I arrived they were just digging the initial tranches for the foundation. [...]
