Hey I was wondering if I could get some advice from you guys? I am thinking of moving to DR for a couple of months. Basically im a PhD student in my last year living in London and I really want to get away from the city for a bit while im working on and writing up my thesis and thinking of the DR for this. I can speak Spanish and have been confused with a local when I have travelled to central America in the past.
I was wondering how safe it is for a 25 year old woman to travel there on her own without knowing anyone? I am the type of person that likes to stay away from tourist areas when I go to another country and like to mix more with locals. Also can anyone give me advice on what are the best universities on the island for sciences? I cant drive, what is the public transport like?
I understand that living standards are much lower than where I am living now and life will be completely different but I love the latin and Caribbean cultures and difference is what I want right now. Any tips would be much appreciated.
Thank you!
