MORE ABOUT US
Dominican Abroad was founded by Gerry Isabelle: a New York Dominican writer, traveler, and content creator. Our mission is multifaceted. We seek to:
Encourage readers to travel in a meaningful way via educational and cultural guides.
Support local communities domestically and abroad; especially women or BIPOC-owned small businesses.
Empower diaspora communities to learn more about their identities and how our histories connect around the world.
Amplify diverse voices in digital media by promoting diverse representation and thus inspiring other diverse populations.
Support pre-colonial cultural heritage preservation.
Inspire a more wholesome, curious, and creative lifestyle.
Gerry Isabelle is the founder of Dominican Abroad, a popular travel and culture blog dedicated to showing people how to travel meaningfully; highlighting natural wonders, cultural gems, and unique experiences.
Gerry is a first-generation, born-and-raised New Yorker, from the Bronx. Noticing a lack of diverse voices and representation in media/travel, she decided to create her own media platform: DOMINICAN ABROAD, sharing stories and adventures from NYC to around the globe. Ever since, she’s grown a community of over 400,000 monthly readers and social media followers– proving the need and desire for BIPOC creative perspectives.
Today, she is based out of Brooklyn, New York, and maintains strong ties to her Caribbean heritage. She enjoys books, film, the outdoors, and pilates!
