Where is everyone from??
Hi, I'm Rachel.
I'm a native Oregonian. I've lived in Guadalajara and Puebla, Mexico in addition to my own beautiful state.
I have recently taken up residence in Santo Domingo. I've been here about a month and a 1/2. I came here for a job.
I am happily single and will be 25 in two weeks.
(which means I'll soon be too old for AZB.. HA HA)
To all the people who have heard me complain about Santo Domingo I'd just like to say that it's growing on me.. (although we still need a city-wide "pick up the garbage" campaign -- that works)
Thanks to everyone who's helped me figure things out here... DR1 is faboo!

21, born and raised in DR, lived in Denver, New York City and now Albany, NY. This summer I will be moving back to NYC to start a new job.
I was born and raised in Lampman, Saskatchewan, but have now lived in Calgary for almost 12 years...Sosua is where my other home is. I have been married to a Dominican for almost 2 years, and we just renewed our vows in the Church May 18 in Sask. We have Angel's 7-year-old son Angelo living with us since March 14 of this year, and our son Dominic was born December 10, 2001.

Europe is there too !
Born in Paris worked as an expat for 15 years and living in Germany for 5 years. Married with a dominicana from Moca , we have a 4 years old daughter who is tri-lingual . As we own a property yet to be finished in Montecristi , we travel twice a year to the DR aiming at living there one of these days...the sooner the better.
good luck !

Sounds like your family would know my wife's family in the hills north of SFM. Her grandmother was born in Loma de la Joya, and her father was born in La Joya (Bolo Rosario). The other half of the family is from Jaya. I know many of the Paulinos from Loma de Jaya. My wife (Marisol Rosario) does not recognize your name. Everyone knows everyone else out there. It is a very beautiful part of the country heading up and down the mountains toward Rio Boba.
Me, born and raised in and around Bloomington, IL. Spent a year in Springfield and joined the Peace Corps. Ended up in the DR for two years. Lived in Los Alcarrizos (sp?) for 3 months, Los Naranjos de Castillo for about 4 months and a year and a half in SFM. Had lots of time and the opportunity to visit many parts of the DR. NYC, Washington Heights 4 years, Ridgewood, Queens for 4 years, Sosua (managed a solar energy company) for two years or so, and Bergen County, NJ for the last 3 years. I work in Manhattan and this Cheney annoucement doesn't sit very well with me as I go through the Lincoln Tunnel every day. It's even a little uncomfortable heading into Washington Heights over the GW bridge lately.

Born in San Bernardino, California. 38 years old (WAAYYYY to old for AZB)
Lived in Orlando, Florida; Wheeling, W. Virginia; New Jersey; and Phoenix, Arizona.
Now living in Maine and have for years and years. Married with 3 kids. Nearly 18, 8, and 5.
House is on the market and when it sells, we are going to Fort Myers, Florida and then off to Dominican Republic or Costa Rica. Probably depends on where Pan Am bases first.

Aren't there any Texans around here??
I'm 35 and have been married to my lovely wife for 7 years. We both were raised in Texas and we now have a daughter age 3. Presently we live on the beautiful tornado and wind swept plains of north Texas and our goal is to one day have a 2nd home in the DR.
The American rat race is for the birds and from what I have read...I think a small ranchito up near Jarabacoa would suit us just fine!

Hillbilly II
Born and raised in Clay County, West Virginia. Don't understand why Hillbilly claims he is from Santiago ( you scoundrel) Fess up that you were raised in a cabin on Coal River and that your Daddy worked at Belle and your uncle in South Charleston. Thank you Keith R. for admitting that you are a real hillbilly too. We may have to privately discuss whether Santiago Hillbilly gets reclassified as "Hillbilly, prone to tall tales". Well, better change the subject. Hillbilly may have a 12 guage propped by the screen door. Anyhow, overheard a co-worker a couple years back comment on her vacation to the D.R. So, being tired of St. Martin, I began mulling over a new destination and visited Santo Domingo in July 2000. Since then, I have made five more trips to the D.R., where magic can happen everyday. Long live the D.R!!
