Wow, that Free Union thing could really come back and bite you! Thanks for sharing that. I've met a few sweet talking Dominican guys but they've always shown those red flags you're talking about. Read More

Hi, we recently bought a property down there and would like to live down there part or full time, what is the most common way to get residency in this situation? We are talking to a lawyer, but it seems really confusing and I know there is a lot of ...

@RockyMTotally agree on the bidets! I also got a bidet attachment from Amazon and love it! On my recent trip to the DR the condo had the European style (?) as a separate fixture, but I didn't like it as much as the attachment kind, but I won't get ... Read More

@Mark and AlI flew out of POP recently after a vacation. We arrived early because we had to print out boarding passes and because who knows what might happen to delay us, and the American airlines check-in system wasn't scheduled to start for ... Read More

Is anyone there familiar with the Dominican tradition of making "jengibre", a ginger tea, and serving it at home gatherings during the month of December? I was lucky to be able to attend one years ago, a nice cozy social time with hot spicy tea and ... Read More


SD to Puerto Rico Ferry by polo1club
Has anyone gone on this ferry? It leaves from el Puerto off El Malecon to PR. If so how was it? Are you able to go shopping and bring it back? What is allowed to be brought back to DR? I am thinking it will be a nice getaway from DR to go shop in PR ...

I'm curious about this too! I see the info on the site and also watched a YouTube video on it. I wonder if anyone uses it as a quick way to renew their visa if they're not a resident yet. Just take a short trip to PR for a couple days and return ... Read More

The Mountain Regions of DR by Guest2022
When °µÍø½ûÇøs talk about the mountain regions of DR, the town of Jarabacoa normally is the first mentioned. There are a lot more places to explore and imo more interesting. Here is one: Rancho Arriba. It is a short drive on a new scenic road at a ...

Hmmm not sure what trail we took. We drove quite aways up from Jarabacoa before reaching the park entrance. First day of hiking was through bamboo forests, not too much altitude. Second day the trail was steeper, along dry dusty switchbacks, before ... Read More

Jarabacoa by Launica
Does anyone have info about jarabacoa they could share? Population? Roads? Banks? Grocery stores? Services? Etc...

Jarabacoa is a lovely town, weather-wise and otherwise. Forgive me, though, as it's been 20 years since I lived there!!! I lived in a more Dominican-style home, so it wasn't a target for thieves much. Just lost some underwear drying ... Read More
