Ke lo ke mi gente!
I remember growing up in NYC and discovering DR1, I used to have a different screen name etc... It has been a lifelong dream to move to DR, since I was a child. I'm at a place in my life where I can afford to do it soooooooooo as the title suggests I will be relocating to the Dominican Republic from Atlanta, GA in a few weeks!!!!!! I almost cannot believe it is happening, I still don't believe it and think something is going to come up and ruin my plans haha...
My mother & father left DR after the civil war in 1965 and never looked back. I was born in NYC but speak Spanish as my first language. The wife and I arrive first followed by our two boys a few weeks later. My degrees are in Computer Science and Agronomy/Horticulture/Organics, I know that is a weird mix. I am a "country boy" at heart and my long-term ambitions involve land, animal husbandry, and organic agriculture/production. For work, I am an IT professional making an excellent salary that I can do remotely from there in addition to my organic farming business endeavors here in the US.
My post is geared more toward culture, safety tips, countryside getaways, and ABOVE ALL ELSE: We would love to make a few friends on here who are also USA transplants in DR? Especially anyone living in the Santo Domingo area but we have family in Santiago, La Vega, and Puerto Plata that we can easily drive to. I am 39 and my wife is 21, our 2 bots are 2 and 3 respectively.
My aunt lives in Santo Domingo, Arrollo Hondo (the original old one), on Jose Delio Guzman off of Camino Chiquito only a few blocks from Club Arroyo Ondo and the Gardin Botanico. For the first few days or weeks, we plan to stay there while we explore the capital and surrounding area. We plan to acclimate to DR life and very quickly begin exploring the countryside.
I hope this post is not too long and of course, any information and/or anyone's opinion is greatly appreciated!
