A good New Year 2013 to you all!
I have been lurking on the dr1 forum for a while, but thought it time to introduce myself: female - German - and looking for the ideal spot to spend the next 30 years (okay maybe 10 or 20, no sense being overly optimistic).
I work on Cruise ships, and have visited much of the world. Have lived and worked in so diverse places as the US and Guatemala. I am not looking forward to retirement in Europe or the US and therefore have been exploring alternatives for the last 5 years.
The DR is starting to look like a good bet, and I will be visiting for the first time next week - I am really looking forward to it! I will probaby start asking a lot of questions once I have had a bit of a look around.

PS: No sense telling me to first rent for 6 months to a year before moving somewhere - as I wrote, I am working at sea, and only ever "home" for weeks to a few months at the moment.
