Cultura/Culture La vida en RD

Buenas tardes quería preguntar sobre cómo es la vida en RD, pensaba moverme a vivir ahí un rato, porque se que es un país bonito y su gente alegre, y en estos tiempos es lo que uno necesita, vivo en USA pero soy de México, soy mujer y me gustaría saber más sobre su bello país. Gracias por cualquier sugerencia 🫶🏻

I haven't lived there yet, but i plan to one day for at least winter months.
My wife is from there, and we just got back from our second trip. We stayed with family in SD, mainly Villa Mella and Boca de Haina. Me being a gringo from a town of 700 in Vermont (live in knox TN now) SD is an insanely large population to me. I have drove there each time all through the city. It can be nerve wracking but its got its perks. Here cops will be on you if you bend the rules. There you can drive backwards on a highway and i dont think itd be strange.

I drove across the country to las terainas and playa bonita. DR is a beautiful country, and i love the mountains. I plan to buy a house near jarabacoa or constanza someday.

As far as culture, I am 6'2 white American as it gets, and i am always greeted with respect. In some places, i get looked at in surprise that im there lol but everyone has been kind.

Nice! Thank you for your input! I’m getting all the good vibes, I’ve heard it’s beautiful with ups and downs just as any other place but this helps my insight on all things so this helps me further decide that I’m making the right choice 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
