Do Dominicans Resent Expats

In this video, I share a real life encounter at the Edenorte office in Santiago, Dominican Republic — a moment that made me question how expats are perceived and how we connect with local culture. What started as a frustrating experience turned into a lesson about communication, humility, and the importance of blending in. When I tried speaking Spanish — even imperfectly — everything changed. This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s a reflection on what it means to live abroad with respect, patience, and awareness. 🎥 About The Good Life with Steve I share calm, honest reflections on expat life in the Dominican Republic — the lessons, the challenges, and the beauty of everyday living abroad.
