Spring Break in The Dominican Republic

Before my life as a digital nomad, I worked for an amazing company that offered yearly, all-expense-paid trips for its employees. In 2017, we agreed to head to an all-inclusive resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.

The resort was absolutely amazing and we wasted no time getting acquainted with the bartenders and staff.

So many drinks, so little time.

The Warmup at the Pool Bar

I was extremely excited to find out there was a scheduled foam pool party on our first day at the resort. Needless to say, I knew our group would get wild during the party so I made sure the GoPro was fully charged and ready to capture the event.

By noon, the DJ was pumping some cheezy EDM and hip hop. Of course, it's the perfect soundtrack for a wild pool party. The drinks were flowing non-stop and it was almost time for the FOAM.

Let there be Foam!

I'm not sure if everyone was ready for the foam. I honestly was amazed at how much foam they put into the pool so quickly. It literally towered over your head and if you were not careful you could be lost inside it. Between the drinks and the foam, all bets were off and the party turned into total, wild, chaos! We loved every minute of it.

The pool was massive and every inch was covered with foam!

What happens when you give someone your GoPro?

The best thing about GoPros is their ease of use. I could just hand it to one of my friends and they could easily capture amazing pictures. This gave me more time to drink and party, while they were busy capturing the event.

Of course, some friends go overboard and decide to do a full photoshoot of themselves.

Underwater Adventures 

Thank god my camera is waterproof. I'm pretty sure it spent more time underwater than above during the foam party.

The foam couldn't last forever, but the free drinks can! Once the foam subsided, there was still plenty of time to party.

Hope You Enjoyed These Photos!

I hope everyone is enjoying these posts. I love reminiscing about the days on the road. I'm sure everyone is anxious to get back out on the road and enjoy life the way we could before the pandemic.

I encourage everyone to do what they can to stay safe and stop the spread of Covid. This doesn't mean living in fear. Do what's right and do what you can to stay healthy! Let's beat this thing and get back to traveling!

Currently based in Siem Reap, Cambodia, I'm a solo-traveling digital nomad. Due to the pandemic, I've been living in Siem Reap for almost 2 years now. While I'm hoping to get back on the road soon, I'm not in a rush. 

I'd love to connect with other travelers, digital nomads, gamers, or residents of Cambodia. Don't hesitate to say hi or send me an upvote!

Uh, can you explain how? These are all photos of me that I personally took. The only place you would see these are on my Facebook or Instagram feed. I also have a pro canva subscription that allows me to use the collage graphics that are included. I'd love to hear what image of me and my friends is a copyright violation. If you'd like I can forward my Instagram or Facebook links to the images as well. If you found these images somewhere else I would love to know where so I can have them taken down since they are my photos and images.
