I've asked many questions before and all have been answered. Now I have a question which is maybe a little more tricky... or I think maybe anyway.
Background : I've visited DR a few times and liked it enough to come back, always based in Sosua. But as a single female traveller I don't think I got the best from my previous trips because I tended to stick to tourist areas. I normally hire a car and go off for the day. But stick to the main road and just stop every now and then at a restaurant on the main road. I've always been a bit nervous of going off the beaten track as I'm alone. Yes I have made 'friends' during my previous trips but not freinds enough that I would want to spend time with them or necessarily trust them. I suppose they are just acquaintances really.
So, my question is, how would I find a guide for the week? Someone who is trustworthy and knows the country. I'd love to just go off for the day down some old road, discover something new and at the same time feel safe knowing I have someone with me should anything go wrong.
Over to the forum..... any ideas?
