Top Comments of this video!! :3
The interview section just warmed my heart! Also just so you know, we as a country received two waves of English speaking African descendent groups: the cocolos came from West Indian Islands to work on the sugar plantations during the early 20th Century, mostly in San Pedro De Macoris and La Romana (some also moved to Barahona and Puerto Plata). The second group were the African Americans in Samaná that also influenced the local cuisine of the area; you go there and you see a lot of dishes and baked goods that contain coconut. Anyways thanks for putting my country on display!!!

You don't need to apologize for loving travelling, Barbs! Yes, we, as your audience, are waiting for the next Geography Now episode, but the every sponsored video you've made is fun and interesting, they're no these lasy advertisements ppl usually expect from such content. So keep up the good work!

Might I add about the Cocolos.. while some of them came from the US, a vast group also came from the Caribbean islands to cut sugar cane. The interesting fact is that some came from Tortola British Virgin Islands but Dominicans could not pronounce Tortola and Cocola stuck. You will find an eastern Caribbean flavor in the cocolos.
Please come to the British Virgin Islands 🇻🇬 🙏

See this is the type of stuff I want to do more of. FILLER VID! The almost-potential capital of the world that never happened. Home of the hidden Cocolo people (and one of the coolest interviews I've ever recorded). The micro-climate treasure of the D.R. This is Samaná. Hope you enjoy this one guys!
