Re: Moving there...
I think you should do as your heart calls.
Most importantly, have patience and plan everything accordingly to ensure that all goes well.
I think the DR is a beautiful country, my parents are from there. However, as much as I love it, I cannot become accustomed to the legal situation there, electrical problems, traffic and I miss many of the conveniences we have here (in the U.S.). I also feel that to live in the DR you have to be a good negotiator (salesperson) which I am certainly not, just to carry out everyday things. Many people there are so carefree, I think that is great. But remember you must balance your priorities and expectations in order to make the right decision. Are you willing to give up your career, friends, contacts etc.? And do not let yourself get swept away by someone you met at a resort. Be careful, some people try very hard to take advantage of foreigners. I wish you the best of luck.
