Hello! I'm a military veteran who spent many years moving from place to place, meeting new people, learning new cultures, exploring new areas. It's now time for my next big move. I'm looking to retire to Las Terrenas or Cabarete/Sosua within the next year. There's a lot of reading to do here, but I'll get through it. :-)

Hi,
My name is Reynold. I plan to build a retirement home in las Terrenas.
I am in the process of acquiring the land.
I heard it's better to build your own instead of buying an already built one as the contractors have a tendency to cut corners by using cheaper materials and labor.

Hi everyone! We just bought a condo in Cap Cana. We fell in love with the area and decided to make Dominican Republic our home away from home. If anyone is in Cap Cana or close by let's keep in touch. We are trying to learn all the ins and out of the area. Things have been very good for now.

We're looking for Pat Lawler, an American expat, 77 years old, living in the Las Terrenas area. If any of your members have information about Pat's health and whereabouts, we'd appreciate learning about it through this forum. Or they could tell Pat to email his son.
Thanks,

This thread has been created for the introduction of new members.
For you search, I would advise you to post an ad in the Testimonies, lost items, missing people in Dominican Republic section. It is more appropriate.
