Jan,I assume,not withstanding your move to the DR.,that you are an intelligent woman. You may be able to give private English lessons.If you have worked in the legal,or medical fields,you could advertise in (Listin Diario, and Ultima Hora) to give lessons to dominican students bound for the USA to study in these areas.Be aware that those who seem so happy to "help" you,as a "friend",and then ask for money,are looking for your money,and not your friendship! Also,"A fool and his money are soon parted!" Keep that return ticket in a safe place.Get online when you arrive so we can help you out if needed. Thomas Pobert
