Wow! It has been so helpful to read all of the past posts about people moving to the DR. I visited two years ago and want to visit again this month before making my final decision to accept a position teaching at a private school. But first, (or course), I have a million questions...
1) how does Los Millones neighborhood fare in terms of safetly, location, things to do, etc.?
2) Is 20,000 pesos enough for a single woman to surivive comfortably on? I wont have rent to pay but I'll have everything else. What does an average monthly budget look like? (electricity, cell phone, food, transp, etc.)
3) Is the weather really beautiful year round? Is Santo Domingo in the hurricane path?
4) I'm in my late 20s. Is it easy to meet other people my age?
5) Do all of the expats who post on this forum get together and hang out? (you guys seem cool)
6) Is it affordable to take short trips to other islands?
7) What is your favorite part of living in Santo Domingo? What is your least favorite part of living in SD? (there's the teacher in me coming out)
Thanks so much!!
