Hi,
I will be in the DR for the first time from 2 -13 January. I will be based in Jarabacoa for most of the time doing paragliding. I don't know much about the town, so can someone please give me some background on it? Most importantly, is it safe to wander around, especially in the evenings? Also, is there any decent social life there that would suit a solo gringo?
I also want to spend at least two or three days at a beach resort and I think Caberete seems to fit the bill. Again is this a good choice?
Some basic background about about me; Northern European (and look it), have some travel experience (most recently Brazil and that is why I am so interested in scoping out the safety of destinations - very necessary in Brazil!) and whilst I can speak some basic Portuguese, I can't speak Spanish but don't know how much assistance this really would be.
All advice and opinions welocme!
Many thanks,
Zak
