I'll be heading to the Dominican Republic in mid-march, first to Santiago and then north to the coast. I was wondering what a reasonable budget would be - I'm very used to traveling barebones and I was curious how much a low-budget traveler would spend per day. I'll probably be taking buses around.
How much is a very low-budget night of housing? Is it possible to find somewhere for under 10 dollars? 20? What about food?
Also, there are two further considerations - I'll be traveling with my boyfriend, and I was wondering if we stay at a more home-style place, will there be problems with us sharing a bed?
And, I'm vegetarian. I survived for a month in Cuba without eating meat - how similar will it be in the DR? Really tough, or just a little more difficult than finding normal food?
Thanks so much!
