Hiya Timex,
I'm not in the DR yet (came back from a trip there a month ago! Was in Azua, Barahona and Santo Domingo) but I'm gonna be moving to Santo Domingo with a friend of mine in June of next year (tickets already booked - can't wait!). We've got quite alot of Dominican friends and we've decided to go over and spend at least a year or two. We'll probably teach English for the first while and then, who knows?! I'm from Sligo and she's from Kildare (both 24 yrs).
I take it you're Irish, where from? We're hoping to try and get in touch with some other paddies when we arrive. Dominicans are absolutely lovely but I'm sure we'll be in the humour to talk to folks from 'the auld sod' from time to time!
Anyway, do you have any advice for two Irish gals embarking on our Caribbean adventure? Hope to look you up when we get over.
Take care,
Caroline
