We Are The Bates

From the U.S. to Dominican Republic, we’re sharing the real story of family life, travel, and starting over in the DR. We left the United States to start a new life in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Our channel shares honest stories about moving abroad, expat living, and what life in the Dominican Republic is really like.

From navigating culture shock to exploring the most beautiful beaches and wonders DR has to offer, we show what it takes to build a new life overseas with our family. Whether you’re planning to move, thinking about retirement in the Caribbean, or just love travel vlogs and family adventures, you’ll find real inspiration here.
