@planner well, I'm from the DR and can't wait to move back. Just accumulating a bit more of money and pasive income before a pull the trigger! 🤣😂🤣
My only experience to share is that dominicans are friendly with a nice spirit of happiness in most of people. Yeah! You will find here and there some jerks that doesn't know what do to in life but that is not the majority of us.
My recommendation to any xpat that move to the DR is: stay away from the big cities. Are ovrt crowded, traffic is a mess and index of crime are higher there. Go to places where you can enjoy the beauty of the island, like:
Close to the beach:
Las Terrenas
Las Galeras
Rio San Juan
Cabrera
Bayahibe
Cabarete
Sosua
Punta Cana
Miches
and many others!!
Mountains:
Arroyo Frio
San Jose de Ocoa
Constanza
Jarabacoa
Manabao
La Cienega
And many others!!
