Hi guys. Please help. I've been working on a relocation plan for a number of months and have narrowed it down to the DR or Colombia? with the DR winning, lol? I'm torn regarding location in the DR, though. My background: I've visited the DR a few times, spending a total of a few months there. I've also lived in Latin America (various countries) for 3 years, fluent in Spanish. Work online but probably need to pick something up to supplement.
My interest is to get to know Dominicans and Dominican culture, I'm not looking to live in an ex-pat bubble. I had been seriously considering SD and Santiago, especially Santiago, but Punta Cana is just so darn beautiful! But I'm worried about having a hard time connecting with locals there. I'm a Canadian woman, educated, and also a yoga/zumba instructor and massage therapist. Have done ESL in Asia for a few years.
Could you please let me know your thoughts on these 3 communities and which one might be the best choice for me? I do love the beach but have lots of hobbies and interests so I wonder if a bigger centre might be more stimulating? Thanks in advance.
