How do I meet people in Dominican Rep?
When we asked people living in Dominican Rep about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded...
"Any expat groups, spanish lessons at a qualified school. Join a dance group, a walking group and kind of group that gets you out meeting others," remarked another expat who made the move to Santo Domingo, Dominican Rep.
"First thing I do in any place is look for the Expat hangouts and sit and chat. I also look for a country/area specific website to make acquaintances. Works for me and I now have parties on 4th of July, US Thanksgiving and Easter Sunday to gather all the expats I can. I get from 125 to 175 people at my events 3 times a year. Great place for networking and making friends and getting to know your new country," explained one expat living in Sosua, Dominican Rep.
