Hi!
My name is Shalena and I am an American from Raleigh that moved to Santiago last year. I had alot of Dominican friends in Raleigh, they are there, you just have to look a little harder than you would have to in NY.

Also bachata on this forum is in Raleigh now.
If you want to give me your email address, I can give it to a couple of friends of mine depending on what you are looking for. Friends with children, or just couples, or just some girlfriends to hang out with. I also have alot of Boricua friends there...
And you have to see Keila at Erlina's hair salon for all of your blow-out needs!!

Nice to meet you
SHALENA
