Well, I’m finally off and running once again. The Truck is ready for a real test and that’s exactly what I’m prepared to do. I left the house early this morning not having a clue where I wanted to go. I did want to cover the new bypass highway from beginning to end so why [...]

Now that I’m up and running again it’s great to revisit some of the out of the way small farm towns the surround the region. When you’re living in the nation that’s supporting the strongest economy of the Caribbean and has so for the past several years you really begin to see the development. Even [...]

First and foremost, Liane and I want to wish all our subscribers the best in 2023. After completing a six month refurbish project on Papa Yota, I can’t tell you how good it feels to be back in the sparse areas of the country again. I’m Lovin it!!! Do not mistake the following as being [...]

As I’m writing these few words, I can’t help but think of how fortunate we both have been and remain. I don’t necessarily mean it from a material sense,  rather from a sense of inner knowing, internal peace. Balance plays a bigger part in life than people choose to give it credit for. Took me [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

Well a big hello is going out to everyone. Over the past while I’ve been so busy with organizing the media campaign for our Montana y Mar phase two community that I haven’t had the opportunity to create many videos. On another note it’s been really busy for us. Now the most docile of us [...]

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 [...]

About six months prior I was on an excursion with a friend. It was the kind of trip I’d only take for personal enjoyment. I’d never take clients on this level of river crossings or rock roads, however from time to time it’s what I really enjoy and anyone who knows me will attest to [...]

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 [...]

Welcome back. It’s time to get on the road again and part with the mundane and the negative propaganda. Hop in and take a ride as I go about what for me is a normal day out in the country. It’s time for people to realize and except the fact that those who choose not [...]

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 [...]

April 16 2020 Here’s what Chief Economist of the World Bank LAC had to say. Here’s what chief economist of the World Bank (LAC) Martín Rama recently had to say during an interview found on Dominican today. Rama expects Latin America and the Caribbean region will fall 4.6%. Quoting Martín Rama: “In a pessimistic forecast, [...]

March 26 2020 Wow it’s been so long since I’ve authored a blog. As I sit back and visualize all the damage that’s been caused not only because of the Coronavirus issues, but several key issues spanning over several decades to put it mildly saddens me. None of this ever had to happen and I’m [...]

Once more it’s that time again, it’s time to yell out ALL ABOARD!!! Why not come along with us? Pack a small bag and hop into the back seat. This time you’ll be joining Liane and me on another one of our many short trips around the DR. This time it’s Las Galeras and the [...]

In this episode of ask me anything, I attempt to expand the viewers accepted wisdom toward a popular question. Judging by its popularity, it’s a question I should have fielded long ago, but hey time waits for no one, right? For some already feeling the effects of “how can I leave them” this video may [...]

While I have a bit of time I wanted to get out part two of a great day spent in the back country with my buddy Robert. We continue on working our way toward Los Memisos. We took our time as I wanted to explain some of the unique topography and perhaps even more notable [...]

I recently invited a friend of mine to join me on what for me is just another normal day in the field. Robert and his wife Michelle started out as clients a few years prior when we sold them one of our lots in the Montana y Mar community. Now moved in both Robert and [...]

In this video I welcome recent new arrivals Simon and Julia. Both are world travelers and bring with them the wisdom that can only be achieved by hands on experience. Their five trips to Cabrera have added up to a positive decision. Over the next few years along with careful planning will make Cabrera their [...]

We recently returned from a nice little get away. A family member originating from Liane’s side was celebrating a graduation and we decided it would make for a nice week holiday. We spent the week just outside of Calgary Alberta. Dovetailing further we were in the area of Balzac. The celebration was nice and as [...]

Sept 16 2018 Middle Class America I keep hearing how things are getting better for middle class America. Why am I not seeing the parallel view? Perhaps it’s because of how highly subjective the topic actually is. I mean if you’re fine then your world is fine. Notice I didn’t say The World is fine; [...]

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 [...]

In part two of what should be a moving interview I ask some tough questions pertaining to the before and after. I ask what changes occurred particularly within the police. Quoting Rafiel’s informative comments “They became wolves against sheep” “before the collapse they were just cops.” “I was kidnapped!”  I shifted the topic and began [...]

I want to take a moment to sincerely thank Rafiel for being so courageous in sharing his personal encounters. It’s not often someone has the strength to abandon their ego and share their personal struggles. I hope someone watching this identifies with the sincerity and is able to offer an opportunity to a deserving individual. [...]

September 8 2018 Sanctions in a modern world I don’t know maybe it’s just me but lately it seems like the West wants to sanction the planet. Venezuela and Argentina are just two of many examples that flash to mind. While sanctions on smaller countries may still prove to be effective its effects on superpower [...]

September 6, 2018 One Of My Most Memorable Interviews Over the years I’ve had the privilege of interviewing some prominent thinkers considered by many to be experts in their field. It should come as no surprise that these people have large followings they retain huge numbers of subscribers. While each of these encounters proved memorable [...]

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 [...]

August 2018 2018 What a 20 Trillion dollar debt looks like. Because of our devalued currencies over the past decade some terms kind of changed a bit. For example what used to be Billion has now become Trillion. No big deal right? It’s a close enough replacement in fact the word even rhymes. Before continuing [...]

August 28 2018 When it comes to possessing the skills to tame any beast I know of no better source than Jim Rogers. On multiple occasions I’ve watched Jim take over the reins and tame the most belligerent interrogator and effortlessly coax them back to reality. I understand we’re currently living in what you might [...]

August 26, 2018 At times I’ve wondered if I’m what you might call a bit of a lone wolf though I don’t mean in the social sense. What I’m referring to is the numerous times I find myself standing in solidarity when approaching the subjects of truth and Natural Law. So often I still hear [...]

August 20 2018 Ever notice it’s not until our doctor or accountant mentions something along the lines of “we have to meet and promptly” do any of our internal red flags begin waving. It’s not until these foreboding words really settle in that your mind initiates its travels various directions. Confusion and fear sets off [...]

After a three and a half week run of visitors it’s nice to be back in the saddle once again. One of the many things I like about what I do is when I’m tired I get to hang up the “Gone Fishing” sign and I get to do this almost whenever I choose to. [...]

Anyone who’s ever wrestled with major change knows it can be a tough encounter. At least it has been for me. I was raised in a family environment where strict rules applied specifically in the areas of what you’re taught to believe and not believe. I understand the challenges involved when bucking the traditional. I’ve [...]

As a person who’s invests a large amount of their time studying the sciences and history it’s no surprise I’ve often been invited to voice my thoughts in what might be termed as a counterpoint discussion. As human beings we’re wired it’s in our DNA… we have an insatiable desire to know the unknown. Were [...]

For quite some time now I’ve been mentioning there’s a series of problems growing in the shadows and their purpose mirrors that of a virus. Did you know regardless if it’s a virus of the body or a virus in your computer all viruses share three commonalities?  Quoting the late Wayne Dyer “A virus has [...]

A friend of mine recently sent me a YouTube while at the same time citing “he sounds a lot like you do”. This guy talks about many of the same subjects you do. He sounds similar to you by using simple to understand explanations, he verbally paints a clear vision in your mind. His name [...]

Over a time span that’s nearing three decades, I’ve donated a fair amount of my time towards researching the trends. One of my most treasured lessons origonates from understanding that knowledge and wisdom are two different attributes.  Actually they are compleatly different attributes. What people believe by the millions would be labeled insanity if done [...]
