 Cigars and rum in the fairest land under Heaven - When Columbus spotted the coral-rimmed Dominican Republic, he proclaimed, “This is the fairest land under Heaven.” We have to agree. The Dominican Republic is home to the highest mountain range in the entire Caribbean and offers some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Yet it may be the least-expensive island in the Caribbean when it comes to real estate and cost of living. Oct./06 
 



The Dominican Republic (Spanish: República Dominicana, pronounced [re'puβlika ðomini'kana]) is a Latin American country located on Hispaniola, the second-largest island in the Caribbean's Greater Antilles archipelago. Hispaniola lies west of Puerto Rico and east of Cuba and Jamaica.[2] Its western third is home to Haiti, making Hispaniola one of two Caribbean islands that are split by two countries, Saint-Martin/Sint Maarten being the other.

  • The Dominican Republic lies in the same waters as Cuba and Puerto Rico, taking up the eastern two-thirds of the island it shares with Haiti. Offering a lush interior with a mix of caves, Victorian gingerbread houses and the lore of pirates, plus 900 miles of coastline along its brim, island highlights include riding a cable car up Mount Isabel de Torres and basking on stunning Saona Island. Oh, and did we mention the D.R. is family-friendly, has just about perfect weather and is affordable?

    Life In A Dominican Beach Town ~ An American In The Dominican Republic ~ by Elizabeth Roebling - At 6 in the morning, I take my steaming cup of strong Dominican café con leche out to the porch and survey the sea. I have another hour and half before the local commuter traffic, on scooters, quads, pick-ups and buses, starts the parade on the paved beach road in front of the house. It is a wonderful quiet time, as I watch the sea. My awesome appreciation for it is only matched by my daily amazement at the number of times that the mosquitos have bitten me during the night. They are a different sort than in the States, quietier, more laid back, dancing the bachante rather than dive bombing and singing rather sweetly. It is hard to begrudge them a few drops of blood.

    Life In The Dominican Republic ~ Quite A Change After The UK!  Part 1 ~ By Malcolm Couch - There are a lot of people who have asked me lately about what's it like to live in the Dominican Republic, and from what I understand from those who know the country well, it is a little tropical paradise with all the good and bad that you associate with living on a small Caribbean island. The parties are great, the people friendly and the beaches beautiful. There's always the problems of traffic and electrical cuts but that's par for the course. Everyone tells me that in the end you have to love the place just for its sheer spirit.  June/03
    Life In The Dominican Republic ~ Quite A Change After The UK!  Part 2 ~ By Malcolm Couch - This is Part 2 of a series of articles that will give you all the details you need to move to and live in the DR. This time we learn about food, dancing and sports as well as visas and shopping. The DR is not only becoming a popular tourist destination; it is also becoming home to many people from the U.S. and Europe. If you like sun, beaches and parties, go to the DR. July/03
    Life In The Dominican Republic ~ Quite A Change After The UK!  Part 3 ~ By Malcolm Couch - In Malcolm's third and final article on the DR he looks at the economy of the country and examines what kinds of things you can see if you decide to move to or visit the DR. The DR has a lot to offer to the expatriate who wants to have calm and excitement: if you are thinking about making a move to the DR make sure to read Part I and II of Malcolm's series on living in the DR. Aug/03
    Life In The Dominican Republic ~ Six Months Down ~ by Elizabeth Roebling - It’s the end of my six-month’s trial. I have already postponed my return trip to the States once but I leave in two weeks, to tie up loose ends, see friends and family, and shop. I am delighted with my reluctance to leave. Although I told everyone that I was definitely moving here, to the Dominican Republic, I reserved in my mind the right to fail. I had left home before, like an eight-year old with my belongings wrapped in a kerchief on a stick, only to return for dinner, or rather within a year. But I know that this time, I have succeeded. I have made a life for myself here. Jun/05
