  • The Massive US Exodus is Real - And The Data Proves It!
    Jun 17 2026

    More Americans are moving abroad than ever before - and it’s not just a feeling, the data completely backs it up. In this episode of The Danny and Riana Show, we dive into a striking report from Census.gov showing a massive 180 in net international migration, marking shifts not seen since the Great Depression.

    From the ultra-wealthy turning to a $40 billion relocation industry to remote workers and families seeking a lower cost of living, a peaceful lifestyle, and accessible healthcare, the global exodus is real. We look at data for top destination hotspots like Portugal, Ireland, and Mexico, share striking stats from Gallup, and talk about our own ongoing journey as we prepare to expand our family and video game industry careers in the Dominican Republic!

  • Can You Live in the Dominican Republic and Still Cover Gaming Events?
    Jun 10 2026

    We are SO back! In this episode, we tackle the number one question we received from friends and industry colleagues over the Summer Game Fest and Xbox Showcase weekend: How are we going to keep attending major gaming events like GDC, DICE, and Summer Game Fest after we move to the Dominican Republic later this year?

    We break down the travel logistics from Punta Cana (PUJ), share some exciting future plans about turning these work trips into global family adventures with the grandparents, and give a huge shout-out to the incredible gaming community that continues to inspire our journey.
