Dominica: Population of Expats in Dominica:

Most of the expats live in Portsmouth and Calibishe area. My family and I relocated almost two years ago from the United States and we are enjoying living here. What type of business are you planning to start in Dominica? What area are you looking at? If you would like more info on Dominica and personal experiences living here, you can send me a private email: ebusinessmom@gmail.com

Dominica: Hurricane & Volcanic activity in Dominica. Should I be concerned if moving there?:

No need to concern yourself. My family and I relocated from the US to Dominica in 2012 and so far the weather has been great. There is always hurricane season, similar to Florida, but just heavy wind and rain sometimes. As for volcano eruption, that's rare.

Dominica: Cost of Living:

My family of five relocated from the US to Dominica in 2012. It is much cheaper to live in Dominica if your monthly income is in US dollars because of the currency exchange. We live off rental property income in the US until we can establish ourselves here. We are working on starting our own business here soon. We rent a three bedroom, two bathroom house with spectacular views for $700 EC per month which is equivalent to $262 USD per month. For every $1 US dollar, the exchange is $2.67 EC dollars. We are getting ready to buy land and build a house which is not cheap, but again, if you have a different currency that is more than the EC currency, then the exchange makes it cheaper. If you plan to buy a house, for example 3 bedrooms, two baths, be prepared to pay at least $150K USD for it. The total cost of our monthly expenses, including utilities, spending money, internet, phone, and gas for the car is $3,000 EC per month, which is $1124 USD per month. We grow some of our foods, cook daily, and we eat out only once per month. We also have a solar generator and plan to set up our new home so that we're 100% self-sufficient with food, water, and electricity.

Dominica: Dominica:

We (Family of 5) relocated from the US to Dominica in December 2012. It's been great so far, almost two years later. Did you relocate?

Dominica: Moving to Dominica:

Someone said they have to go to three markets to plan dinner...really? Wow, that's new to me. I've been here in Dominica going on three years and I don't have that problem because I eat from nature which is in abundance here. We rarely go to the market but when we do, everything is there. We either grow food in our remote garden or people in the community are selling things like cacao, coconut oil, yams, sweet potato, rabbit meat, eggs, organic chickens, etc. We didn't move to Dominica to eat processed foods. I often wonder why in the world Dominica is importing all this fake foods from America, etc. It disgusts me. Dominica is a self sufficient country that does not even realize it yet because the government seems to be in bed with China (the same entities that are running the US government). That's a problem. Besides that, it's one of the best places to live in the world and it's the last unspoiled place in the Caribbean. However, the US is trying to spoil that. I am an American Citizen that no longer believes in the American dream. It's a lie! I speak from experience. America plans to have more influence in Dominica by placing a US Embassy here. They can keep their sick influence!!! Rome will fall. I have to tell BARAK OBAMA that in person. Oh I forgot...I have to talk to his clone because that is what it is....
