Default American Teacher..moving to DR
Hi-
I've never started a thread before, therefore apologize if I am not following the rules, or am putting my question in the wrong spot.

I am a high school special education teacher currently living in the U.S. I am seriously considering moving to the DR and want to test it out first for three months in June, July and August. I would like to find a job teaching those months I am in the DR. I will be visiting again from March 21st-28th if anyone can point me in the right direction. I am not fluent in Spanish, however am learning at a rapid pace.

Thank you in advance for any/all help you can provide-

Adventurous teacher

Yes I do know what you mean, however, I have done my research and being that I am in the special education field....students, in the Dominican and around the world can receive services year-round. but thank you for the heads up.

I think you mean Semana Santa (holy week) unless the town of Samana has a Santa during holy week.

I think the entire popultion of the D:R. goes to the beach. People that never go to the beach go to the beach, almost as if they are obligated. And for some reason the girls like to put their hair in cornrows for that week. So the beach in Sosua should be extra lively, lots of reggaton and dancing.

And the capital is at its best, relatively quiet with very little traffic.
