Hello, I'm new here, I found this website by coincidence, but I think it might help me.
I live in Holland and I'm 17 years old, but I want to live in the DR. I know what I want, and I know I have to wait 5 more years (I'll have to finish my education here first), but then I want to be a hotelmanager and work and live in the DR.
I've always felt like Holland isn't the right country for me, and when I went to the Dominican Republic for the first time, 4 years ago, it felt like coming home. The whole atmosphere feels so much better to me than in Holland. I've been in the DR 4 times now, and the more I see, the more I love the country. I already started to learn Spanish, in my school they don't teach Spanish, so I'm having classes in the evening, for 2 years already.
Of course I know it will be difficult for me to be all by myself in a foreign country, and everybody over here thinks I'm crazy and they don't understand, but it's just the way I feel and I'm determined to do what I want!
I was hoping that there are people here that do understand me, and that can tell me something about how it is to live in the DR.
I'm jealous of all you people! Everytime I have to go back to Holland when I'm in the DR, I have to cry and I think: O no! We're going the wrong way!
