When I first moved to the Dominican Republic, I thought I was prepared for everything sunshine, beaches, and a slower pace of life. What I didn’t expect were the little surprises that come with everyday living here.
Like the first time the power went out… while I was in the shower. Or when I realized getting Wi-Fi installed might take a few “follow-up” visits (three, to be exact and that’s considered a win!).
Finding a reliable plumber? That’s like winning the lottery.
But honestly, these moments became part of the charm. You learn to laugh, adjust, and embrace the adventure. Still, I wished there had been an easier way to find trusted local services from the start.
That’s why I’m building a directory so your “trial and error” phase doesn’t last three months like mine did.
