How a Trip to Dominica Obliterated My Worldview

Рет қаралды 43,964

On a recent cruise to the Caribbean, I found myself on a small island nation I knew nothing about and, quite frankly, didn't care all that much to visit. But I took a day-long excursion that left me with a completely different outlook on life and travel. This is the story of how that happened - how Dominica completely changed my perspective.

I recently spent a week in Dominica. Stayed at the Wanderlust Hotel (extremely small but with all the amenities) in Calibishi. Each day, we went on many adventures all over Dominica: hiking, snorkeling, swimming, kayaking, and more. Our excursions took us to several rain forests, woodlands, coastal hikes, and even a small, uninhabited island. Our incredible hosts shared much of the history of Dominica. Being in the small town of Calibishi, I had several opportunities to interact with the extremely friendly and welcoming residents.

My wife and I are an international couple looking to live outside of the US again. She is from Kenya and it's too far to be away from where we currently live for the occasional visits (although we would totally live in Rwanda or Kenya). Costa Rica seems to have it's own problems, and I met someone who is living in Dominica. I would love to know more about how someone who wants to live off the land regeneratively and in harmony with nature and local people would be received as a permanent resident of the island

When i started getting to know the people i realized how they life and love fearlessly. I realized the life i was living here in the states was unreal, fabricated, pretentious and emply. What those Dominicans had was extactly want i didn't have and wanted. I was forever changed. The 2nd day i was there i made friends which i still have to this day and that was in 2009. The people in Dominica are living a real and beautiful life, the way we should all live. As the saying goes, less is more. I really thing that this is the island i will be moving to hopefully very soon. Thanks for the video.

Just to point out Trafalga Falls is nowhere near the highest peak on Dominica. It’s the top of Mount Diablotins which is 4,747 feet. At that elevation the forest is elfin woodland not rainforest since it’s too cool for rainforest. There is so much to do on Dominica that one misses out by cramming as much as one can do in one day. Things such as Boiling Lake which is as it’s name says a lake that is boiling. There is only one other lake like this found on the entire planet and that is in Nee Zealand. It’s about an 8 hour hike to the lake that takes you through rainforests then an area called The Valley of desolation because volcanic activity has made the normal emerald landscape barren with sulphuric pools dotting the landscape so it kind of look like you are on an alien planet. We have lots of natural hot sulphur pools whose temperatures make it more ideal for you to bathe in. The Kalinago reserve which is also known as the Carib reserve where one can see first hand the culture and people of one of the first inhabitants of the Caribbean islands as Dominica and St Vincent are the only islands to still have large populations of the indigenous people living in the Caribbean. While the other volcanic islands in the Caribbean have only one volcano, Dominica has nine. None of them has erupted from as way back to the arrival of Columbus. We are also known as the best place in the Caribbean for whale watching with a 90 percent success rate as we have year round pods of sperm whales. I can go on and not even get to talk about the people and culture of this fascinating island

The subtext here is race. Most white Americans are socialised into a way of thinking about Black people - especially Black Americans - that positions them as superior and Blacks as inferior. Many white people are happy to go along with that and act accordingly. Others may be indifferent and others challenge it. One way to challenge it is to live amongst those you have been led to feel superior to. The book ‘Black Like Me’ exposed this graphically where a white man ‘blacked up’ and lived with black people and as a result he was a changed man. I salute this video as the lady is honest about her old beliefs and how she felt ashamed thinking them. Well done CTC. I hope you gain a lot more clients as a result of your honest heartfelt reviews.

Thanks so much for sharing. I will not exchange Dominica for anywhere else in the world.

I’m happy to see that you were able to look past your original opinion. A lot of the houses may look shabby to American standards however that is because more value is placed on the environmental impact. And of course just like any countries there are bigger houses and smaller houses. And yes the roads are a little nuts my grandfather describes it as if someone put a snake down on the map and let the snake make the roads

It’s almost like you barely wanted to consistently keep saying something nice so you keep using this weird sarcasm. You enjoyed the view BUT you were like ahh I’m tired so it wasn’t ….” Or you’d say there was the river with a really dark hole and the tour guide says jump in this cold water. For every nice thing you said there was a BUT and a very put offy compliment after. This wasn’t the best review.

I hope Dominica can resist the tide of popularity in expect to sweep over this beautiful place. As the word gets out about Dominica because of whale watching, natural beauty, and the wonderful people. 60 recently had a feature on their sperm whale preserve. Cruise ships are increasingly docking with thousands of guests. I know the Dominican people need to use all their resources to enhance the island’s standard of living. But after our very short cruise stop, I want to go back for a longer stay. I really want to explore this beautiful place. At the same time, I don’t want Dominica to change from the hidden gem that it is. It’s tourists like me whose first thought is generally of their comfort and convenience that are a curse and an asset. I hope it can somehow minimize the former and maximize the later. I can only hope.
