Agree with Celina, to help you need to know your languages, expectations etc. Living in Puerto plata is not to difficult, many places available depending on what you want and what you care to pay, You can have a room with shared bath for 1500 pesos a month at the Hotel castilla, centrally located, generator and therefore always water or pay as much as 6000 pesos for a fully furnished, NorthAmerican style living, with cable, etc. E-mail me, if you would like more information. Also many people find jobs by visiting Sam's Bar and talking with other people who live and work here who usually provide a variety of leads, intros, etc. Joanne
