Hi Everyone,
I'm planning on moving down to Puerto Plata this late April for four months. I've been doing a lot of research on everything that I can. I was on vacation in Puerto Plata for a week just before Christmas, and fell in love with the place, the Country and it's People. This is one of the reasons that I want to come down there. So what I'm asking from those of you who are foreigners to the Dominican, or have lived and worked there in the past, or even locals, if you could give me your insights on what its really like for a foreigner to come live and work in the Dominican.
I'd like to hear what you have to say about starting out, getting a job, finding a place to live. How you were recieved by the locals, what daily life is like. The ups the downs the whole deal. I want to prepare myself for what is to come, be it good or bad, knowing it as much as I can will really help me.
And just a note, I am a 24yr old woman who is coming down there by myself. So if any other women have ventured to the Country by themselves and have any tips for me that would be a great help to!!!
Thank You in advance to everyone who responds!
