I will log back on once I have more time to look into and break down some of the things said. I can tell you that I am mid 20s, female, who would probably never make such a drastic move to be with someone, and I do have $25k. I can also tell you the nickname Chobby is not so bad! AE, I see you noted my many questions! I am naturally a worrier which is a pain in my behind. I think I have read article, after thread, after article of people moving down there with false hopes and ending up in bad positions and that can be very discouraging, but eye opening as well. I am working on slowing down looking into all of this, instead of giving myself headaches.
donP- I bet your property is beautiful. I am a hard worker and would like to keep in touch once I know more. :classic:
DRob- I like your idea of renting for a couple of months, would be a smart thing to do. Going about finding such an apartment would be less difficult in person, eh?
Going to check out some of your sites and info, thank you for the responses and input.
Thanks for filling us in. Good that you have that amount of money (and no college debt!) -- Since you do have Spanish,I would suggest that you try Las Terrenas - there are not that many places that have ANYONE who really speaks
English.. And you can get a cheap place to live. Plus there are lots of little places to LOOK for work -small hotels, restos..
whereas.. not so much around Barahona.
