Good people
I will be coming to the DR at the beginning of Oct. to explore the possibility of moving there. I have been following your threads for some time and appreciate the collective knowledge that you all post. I am looking to relocate in a coastal town that is very livable. I would like very much to live in the community with the local Dominicans, and preferably not in a town that is dominated by tourist resorts. However, I do need access to good services such as internet, telephone, transportation, as I am planning to work (telecommute). The towns that seem most interesting are Puerto Plata, Las Terrenas, Monte Criste, Las Galeras, Baoruco and Barahona. With the exception of Puerto Plata the other towns seem out of the way and a possible escape from the immediate tourist influence. I would appreciate any information, experiences or insights about the livability of these towns. Thanks.
