Having travelled around this world of ours over the past 50 years
and now, as retirement looms, I was thinking of relocating to the DR, but after doing a lot of research and having spent a few holidays there I'm not so sure.
I'm not a person who stays in the resort, I like to get involved with the local community and give my all in the pursuit of happiness, peace and goodwill. But does anyone relocating to the DR have a chance of spending thier retirement in such a way.
Power outages, loss of water, lack of garbage collection,crime, real estate fraud,etc and now I see that Kidnapping of local business people has occured..How long before these kidnappers think that these 'rich Gringos' would make a good target? I love the West Indies and DR in particular but do I invest what I have of the rest of my life there.
Question:Is the DR a good place to retire too or not??
