Get older, get wiser. Things are a lot different now than they were when I was younger.
A simple emoji to a friend on whatsapp sent twice a day to a friend with your phone number will do the trick.

Sound advice. Do you think he should use DR1 as his home base while in the DR? We probably know more about him and his plan than anyone? Maybe twice a day? Early morning and beddy-bye.
I will keep you advised. Is there anyone who can pick me up at PUJ and give me a ride

Why should anyone in the family charge him anything? He is bringing cash into the family for sure.............They should make sure he does not get "sidetracked".............

La Romana this week. Enjoy.

"Residents of La Romana cry out to heaven for the wave of robberies and robberies"

Excellent find. Also, see #13 above. Anyone who has been paying attention to the inquiries and responses to the OP over the last year (or whatever it has been) knows to beware of La Romana.

I just noticed the OP is on the second or third go around on this topic.
The first being May 2022. And, revisited in January 2023.

should i carry 2 wallets with me
Not a bad idea. Throw some old ID's in it and 10 one dollar bills. Get yourself a safekeeping belt for your important stuff.

Carry a crappy cel phone

What this video in #30 also shows is all the rubbish that is the streets mainly on the lines of the sugar trains that are in the town and also along the road which is the continuation of Ave Libertad and in parts of El Mulo and San Carlos. Rats are every where. It is this environment that delinquency breeds and criminals congregate. La Romana has become like a mini Santo Domingo with small pockets of wealth as in Buena Vista but huge areas of filthy barrios.

is leaving a casa de cambia as safe as leaving a bank
Most have a security guard outside but it doesn't stop a mugger from following you somewhere else. Like others have said, be aware of your surroundings.
