Hi there,
My husband and I are planning a vacation this summer to the DR. We have not been before but have heard of its beautiful beaches and affordability. We are researching where to visit and any advice or pointers would be wonderful. The most important thing for our vacation is to find a place with beautiful beaches for our sanity (vacation is a word we barely know anymore ha). The second would be to get an idea of where the best places to live can be as we hope (if we like it) to find a new way of life there.
Ultimately we want to move to the DR in a couple of years. We originally wanted to move to Mexico years back and find this might be the better route for us. We read over some of these posts and now I feel slightly naive after seeing how rough the job market is and low wages but darnit I will make this work We feel overworked here in America and stuck in a rut. Healthcare system is dwindling, jobs are scarce, ect... Not to mention, ITS COLD here in Colorado!
Any advice would be awesome. These posts are wonderful and I have already learned quite a bit. If there are any couples or travelers out there who have moved to the DR I would love to hear about your experiences and what you found for jobs and your living costs. I know a lot of people retire there also but unfortunetly thats a ways off for both of us so we will need to work.
Cheers!
