Moving and living in the Dominican Republic could be a challenge for those who come from a more developed country. However, its a great country to live in. Do you think you could make these adjustments?

I can adapt to it... I stayed there for 2 months in the Puerto Plata region, near Cabarete... in Sabaneta de Yasica. Everything you mentioned, was right on point. The power went out everyday, at least once a day, and sometimes twice a day. I had to unplug the refrigerator, before it would even come back on. My electric bill was much higher using the A.C., so I didn't use it until I went to sleep, and only for a short time on those very hot nights. I had 2 huge ceiling fans, one over my bed and one in the living room, and they did the job adequately... One thing you forget to mention... The MOSQUITOES. I had a pool and an outside gym in the gated complex where I was staying, and the mosquitos were terrible in that area, especially at night. Screens on the windows are a MUST, if you want to open them to get a nice breeze. I lived near the ocean, so the ocean breeze was very nice to have, considering I did have window screens. I will say that most of the apartments have window screens, already. Driving is CRAZY, but I'm use to it... Back in the day, I worked for a limousine service in Midtown Manhattan, NY. You have to be aware of the Motor bikes, AT ALL TIMES, anywhere while driving in the DR. They will pass you on either side, without you seeing them at times... And, YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT IN THE DR... You better have a Long Bank Account, if that happens, whether it's your fault or not. People need and want MONEY. Other than that... I like the country, and would consider retirement there.

Let me add, most groceries stores the tip is expected, I usually tip 50 pesos for bagging and 100 pesos to the car. Now there is Christian Grocery store, I think its Bravo? But they do not accept tips (I tried, they declined) because they do get a salary. And there closed on Sunday. The water can be drinked MUST be boiled first if its a emergency LOL. But getting water in the 50 gallon jugs is what we did also. Very easy, the neighborhood bodega will pick up and deliver to your house. Tips are appreciated (Those Jugs are heavy!). PS. Don't drink the water in the USA! In Michigan a whole community was poisoned! And most municipalities have fluoride, bacteria, and trace amounts of sewage and pharmaceuticals. I am in Florida-NO one drinks the fountain water here. Credit cards as of 10/2020, Credit cards are accepted in all big businesses, grocery stores, shopping centers, hotels. Tip use your credit card for Uer, you can buy $$$ in pesos and just reload it when it runs out on your phone. But if you go to a bodega, or a cafeteria or small mom and pops store bring CASH! But get ready the DR. The world economic forum already stated that every country will be moving towards 100% digital cash by 2030. Globally, 90% of all transactions are digital and not fiat.

A couple of these are not so hard to swallow. I live in the US (CT) and we have a water dispenser, because the water tastes bad even if it is safe. Except I pay about $7 US per 5 gallon bottle and more to get it delivered. We go through two 5 gallon bottles per week. I have liquid propane gas for my stove here in the US, because there is no gas line where I live, and I prefer either natural gas or LP for cooking. But here we have a 120 gallon tank outside, and a company comes to fill it instead -- about $2.40 per gallon. Since it is only for cooking, we only use about 15 gallons per month. My electric bill in the summer (with central air conditioning) is anywhere from $500 to $650 per month depending how hot it is. So $200/month sounds pretty good to me. 😄

Soy dominicana pero criada and NY. Recién compramos casa en Pennsylvania pero estamos pensando mudarnos para allá en un campo. Mi esposo es de la Romana si no se si es mejor San Pedro que disque queda cerca o por Santiago. No se si podemos comprar una casa o hay que hacerla. Yo soy enfermera aquí pero ya no trabajo porque me quedo con los niños. El truco es saber que mi esposo puede hacer de trabajo allá. El aquí hace construcción. El pensaba que es mejor poner un negocio pero no sabemos de que. Los carros los mandaríamos para allá. Cualquier tip ayuda. Gracias

Hola buenas tarde gracias por seguir mi canal. Yo creo que depende de que tipo de ambiente estas buscando como por ejemplo San Pedro tendria el ambiente mas de campo que es excelente para criar tu familia, La Romana y por supuesto Santiago son ciudades mas grandes pero tambien son muy buenas, Santiago y la Romana son muy lindo y tienen muchas actividades que hacer. Con respecto a casa puedes comprar o construir como tu prefieras, pero aveces puedes encontrar cosas de oportunidades en ventas que se ven feitas😁, pero la puedes remorelar a tu gusto creo k esa seria una buena opcion. Negocios hay muchas oportunidades alla solo tiene que habrir los ojos, seria bueno que fueran y chequear la sona donde quieran vivir para ver k hace falta, ese de carros importados excelente mi hermano lo hace alla y es muy bueno, tambien prestar dinero con cosas en garantia. Si a tu esposo le interesa empaparse con lo de los carros y saver mas informacion lo puedo poner en contacto con mi hermano para que el le pueda hacer pregunta si tiene dudas al respeto.

#7 - Traffic... Speed bumps all over the place... Not good. And the reason that they are there - is because the police do not stop the occasional crazy motorcycle rider. So they use speed bumps... and EVERYBOdy is punished. @8:00 - No hot water.... Not really a big deal because it's so hot there already... Natural water can be very refreshing.

Lol! Yes speed bumps are pain and they will damage your car. And yes you kind of get use to the not having hot water. It's uncomfortable in the beginning but you settle in after a while.

@NorberisR
@NorberisR 5 жыл бұрын
It depends on where you are. In Sosua, Punta Cana, you won't have any issues. In cities like Santo Domingo I don't recommend it but have some cash on you is not an issue. I've lived there most of my life and never had an issue but I've had family members who have had their phones or purse taken. Again it depends on the area you are in.

No, its not easy to find a job in DR. Most jobs that are available to Americans are call centers and hotels. And those can pay as low as $RD 20,000 pesos per month up to maybe $RD 35,000 pesos per month. That's like US$ 375 to US$ 675 dollars per month.

My Friend, I have been to many Foreign Countries and places like Thailand seem to embrace this Lifestyle. If You Change the Word to ESCORT SERVICE than people do not get Upset. I lived in Las Vegas for many Years and Women were never Called Prostitutes. Since I met you I noticed there is alot of Negative Videos on DR. mostly talking about the Women and not so much about the Country. Since I have been here in Mexico I have not meant one Person speak bad about Americans. There is Good and Bad about any Country and many people do not Travel enough to see the Difference. You are Very Protective of Your Country and that is Such a Passion that few People have. But I think You are Got in the Middle of Two Countries. I was born in Italy. Its my Homeland. U.S. is my Country Now. I Respect this Country. I Respect The President. Let me tell you a Secret: the last President to go to a IMPEACHMENT TRIAL was BILL CLINTON...Yes Hilary husband. He Got caught getting a Blow Job in the Oval Office. So if You have a problem with Trump than your other Option was putting back someone in the White House that was Impeached...Yes...he was Impeached but Aquited
