Jarabacoa? I think not. I have a house there and avoid visiting. BORING.
glad you said it. what would a 26 year old guy do in Jarabacoa? he would die of terminal boredom in 2 days.

Planning on moving to the DR for a year vacation from "life" to finally get some adventure in my life.
I have been to the DR once for about 10 days, somehow managed to spend $3500 between my girlfriend and I, but most likely was do to trying to keep her entertained (girlfirends smh).
This time around I plan on paying 6 month rent upfront and HOPEFULLY living pretty cheaply for about 6 months (i now i said gap YEAR but i'm a broke college student)
Now the fun part...i speak NO SPANISH except for a few curse words. Was thinking about getting a place in Puerto Plata, Sosua, or Caberete, but to many hookers and seems to cliche'...i want to experience way more than just the touristic areas like the ones i mentioned. Thinking about Santiago, but seeing as I speak no spanish (though I am looking to pick it up...a bit) I feel like that might not be such a good idea. Either way as I am looking for an adventure (my 10 days there was a hell of an exp. lol) so I feel like that comes with it.
Input no matter how negative, is greatly appreciated.
Having been deemed the token black guy for 90% of my life I don't feel a NEED to be engulfed in an AA environment. I get along with just about every race so long as there is a level mutual respect. When I was in the DR last, aside from an arguing match with a random italian in Las Terrenas who spoke no english I actually had no issues at all "racially". Lol but when I did see other AA there was an automatic **gasp...another black person...lets make friends" urge lol
When I first came to Sosua in 1991 for a short trip, you could count the number of Americans in town on one hand and have fingers left over. I'd say it was about an even split between Canadians and Europeans, mostly Germans with a couple Italians here and there.
So this was a few years before tourists "made it rain" in the discos of Sosua?
