@@LunaSoleil hey, I’ve been here 2 years now without leaving but I’ve bought a place here 5 years ago now. Before that it was vacations here. I guess you can say I’m on a perma-vacation. Sure beats NYC especially for the cost and the climate. There are still so many places here I’ve yet to explore ..like the untouched beaches past playa moron out East like playa Onda y Ermanito. I want to get a boat to take me there. Locally I really like playa Coson where a river meets the ocean, it’s a great spot to swim as you have a choice between river and the ocean, or just rinse off the salt after the ocean in the river! I think I remember you now you posted your business in local FB group when you moved here. I live up the mountains just behind las terrenas on the way to sanchez about 5 min out of town. It’s very quiet here, I like the peace and quiet. I like your video when you moved here. I could really feel all the emotions you must have been going through coming here. Congrads with your big move. You envisioned it in your heart and mind and you made it real. A similar thing happened for me. So yea I’m really likening it here even more so with all the drama back home. This is a safer place to ride out the storm. I emailed you. I’m a Aerial photographer, if you want to use a drone in some of your videos or in an intro to your videos I’ll be glad to help. You can see my channel on YT SkyDroneUsa if you like.

Thank you for promoting my country Dominican Republic. The real paradise!

Luna, for your information and everybody else's, in the Dominican Republic YOU DO NOT PAY NOT EVEN ONE PENNY for a cat, don't ask me why, it's just the way it is, the culture with cats is when they are born people give them out as a gift to whoever needs one, most of them are people who need cats to catch mouses, no many people in DR have a cat as a regular pet, they have them to kill rats and mouses...

Thanks for sharing luna,life is all up and down.Las terenas is beautiful...i hope to see you happy down there.
