First Day in the Dominican Republic! 🌴🇩🇴

Hi everyone!

After a brief internet outage (thanks for your patience!), we’re finally able to share our first impressions of this amazing journey.

We’ve arrived in the Dominican Republic!
Today was our first day, and we couldn’t be more excited. We got to see what will be our home for the next few days—our base house—which already feels great.

We also had our first seminars, diving into the themes that will guide us throughout this experience. It was a day full of firsts: our first real taste of local culture, a delicious traditional dinner, and lots of valuable information about what lies ahead.

We wrapped up the day filled with excitement, and of course, a well-deserved rest!

This is just the beginning, and we can’t wait to share every step of the way with you.
See you in our next blog!!!

To Michael BB- we are so sorry we missed your call this morning!! Thought you’d be calling last night and we didn’t know it’d be from a 800 # so thought it was a spam call!! Have a great time Michael Emmanuel!!
