Should I Stay? OR... Should I Go? (Luperon DR .VS. The Bahamas)

In this captivating video episode, professional marine documentalist and intrepid explorer, Adventureman Dan, takes us on an enthralling journey as he ponders a significant decision that lies ahead. We are transported to the picturesque landscape of Luperon Dominican Republic, where Dan finds himself anchored in what appears to be paradise. With its vast and well-sheltered harbor, bustling liveaboard community, stunning natural beauty, and welcoming locals, this idyllic haven is more than just a destination; it’s an experience. But with an exhilarating off-grid adventure challenge in the Bahamas beckoning, the temptation of returning to that remote ocean island lifestyle looms large.

Luperon Dominican Republic or the Bahamas?

Adventureman Dan’s compelling narrative unfolds as he explores each aspect of these destinations, comparing them in various categories such as money, hurricanes, ease of sail, spear fishing, shipping supplies, making friends, exploring unique adventures, and more. Delving deeper into each element of the decision-making process, Dan gives each point a value and weighs the merits of staying in Luperon or heading to the Bahamas.

Exploring Unique Adventures

In an intriguing turn, Dan uncovers a newfound appreciation for motorcycle adventures in Luperon which he hadn’t experienced elsewhere. This leads him to contemplate whether this unique facet of his current location should impact his decision. Moreover, the potential for isolated island survival experiences in the Bahamas fuels another layer of contemplation.

The Final Verdict

In this deeply personal and insightful video, Adventureman Dan ultimately reaches a decision after carefully weighing all factors. His reasoning, grounded in a quest for unique adventures and a desire to step out of his comfort zone, concludes with an unambiguous outcome.

Hello & welcome! I'm Daniel aka "Adventureman Dan." I've been living on the edge, from one adventure to another for the past nine years. Stating in Central California with my first GoPro, through SoCal, Baja, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Alaska and throughout the whole USA. But for the past five years on my sailboat "Adventureborne" I'm open to unlimited possibilities of where I can go, and what I can do!
