Hi all,
A quick introduction: I am a french national actually living in Italy with my wife and a 1y-old kid. We have decided to leave for good somewhere in a endless-summer place and the DR is really attracting us. We have never been there yet but we plan to go there for some weeks and see by ourselves how it looks like.
Although I never visited DR, I have made my homework and read extensively about this country, what to expect, the good sides and the bad sides.
I would need information and advices from you people, especially about the northern coast: Las Terrenas, Rio San Juan, two small cities with french schools, which would be perfect for us.
BUT I have read really scary stories about people being robbed at gunpoint or worse, especially in Las Terrenas, which sounds less and less like a place where we can grow our child, but maybe I'm wrong.
I would like to know if Rio San Juan is also a place crippled with crime like LT sounds to be.
We don't plan to go to the casino, find cheap chicas, get hammered on the sidewalk or buy drugs, just for you to know.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Romano.
