Cabarete, DR
Good day everyone ! I am from England, originally from India. I have started recently travelling to the DR, been there twice (Santiago/Puerto Plata/Cabarete and Samana) and love it.
Well not all of it, the music gets overwhelming at times, the driving drives my blood pressure up but the people are generally nice and the weather is amazing.

Hoping to learn more and become a resident soon.

Thank you, glad to here. Attempted to register twice but rejected as spam as I was outside of DR. Finally did it when I was there last week.
Already found a lot of invaluable info (and laughs) and manage to get a bank account open and for that, thanks !

Welcome, @DrNoob ! I've been in Puerto Plata for about 15 years...no complaints other than the ones we might have no matter where we choose to live!

Welcome. Here is my welcome wagon letter.

Dear DrNoob,

We welcome you to dr1. We are a motley crew here. We love discussing things, reading and sharing and doing our personal editorials on posts, other members, and news. Some of us are cranky. Don't pay it too much attention. Some are know-it-alls. Some are downright naive. Some write scathing responses. Some have no consideration. Some are extremely knowledgeable and worthy of much respect. Some only like to read and share items that conform to their views. They are intolerant. Some make us laugh. Some are the police. And some are the repeat offenders. And even some are in dr1 jail!

However, I personally would not trade this motley crew for anything! Our diversity in opinions, nationalitiess, experience, education, faith (a non-no here) and politics make us a true rainbow.

Don't take us too seriously. But if you need us we will be there for you. Well......some of us!

Enjoy the ride here. Read every day- even if. you just read what specifically interests you or meets your needs.

We welcome you with open arms. New blood makes this sight more interesting every time! And that means you!

Lindsey

I will be honest, I have been reading DR1 for a while before registering, so I get what you mean. This is just a beautifully written message, thank you !
