Hi there, my name is Andre. I'm a 30 year old Dominican who almost 8 years ago was swept away by a Rubia from Australia. We're now happily married and planning on having our first baby.
It's quite bizarre reading some of the posts in this Forum, particularly the ones about "Relocating a Dominican". Where Dominican Men are portrayed as the terrible threat that will seduce and entice the poor unaware female tourists with their oiled up skinny bodies, gold teeth, and peroxided hair.
When if it weren't for these men, some of these women wouldn't have gone on holidays to begin with. We all know what happens on those "Girls Night Out" or perhaps one of those "Let's head down o the caribbean for a Girl's Retreat". Also, so i can spread my banter evenly. It is quite disgusting to see, creepy old men taking advantage of 16 year old girls. Men that retire to the Caribbean because they know that their own creepyness have crippled them from finding someone in their own country. Pheeww...
Now there's not to say that there are genuine couples out there that truly love each other (ahem! ahem!) We are as happy as any 8 year old marriage can be where there are days I wish i was deaf, and others when i cannot picture my life without a glimpse of her smile.
Which Brings me to the Title of this post. Now the shoe is on the other Side.
After almost 8 years of struggles, ups and downs, we've decided to return where it al began to live for good. We're now both Australian and Dominican citizens, so you'd think that the world is our oyster. Yeah right!
I'm an advertising executive and so is she, I'm currently heading up one of the country's or if not the country's biggest brand: Presidente. So needless to say that my overseas experience helped me land this role, but also keeps me away from home all day. My wife in the other hand used to run one of Australia's Biggest Car Brands: Hyundai, so she is used to high powered work environments, that are challenging and rewarding. There are no jobs like that here and we're both are now wondering wether if it was just a fantasy to come and live here
There will be a legal question coming. I promise!.
I would love to find out what are the legal requirements for an Australian Citizen to find work here, and perhaps to find like minded people who enjoy a bit of a laugh and some crazy rants from time to time. More importantly and tips from couples that perhaps are going/ have been through, what we're going through.
Cheers,
Andre
