So you’ve spent a few vacations in the Dominican Republic and perhaps you’ve fantasised about relocating to this paradise island? Well, here’s the perfect book to help you decide if living in the DR is really for you or not.
We believe that this book should be made compulsory reading for anyone contemplating relocating to the Dominican Republic.
We’ve found it to be the most comprehensive and up-to-date source of information available on the subject. It covers pretty much everything you’ll need to know from choosing your location to dying in the Dominican Republic!
And it’s crammed with useful contact info.
We especially liked the last chapter
“What The…?” – a collection of true anecdotes, as experienced by the authors and their friends, that humorously illustrates the idiosyncrasies of life here in the Dominican Republic.
Expat FAQ: Moving to and Living in the Dominican Republic makes for a great beach read too.

Beekeeping, or apiculture, is the practice of maintaining honey bee colonies, usually in hives, in order to produce honey and beeswax and/or to pollinate crops. It’s origins date back to the Egyptian pharaohs and the Roman empire.
Since 1970 Puntacana Resort & Club’s founders Frank Rainieri and Ted Kheel encouraged their employees to keep honey bees and to sell the honey to earn extra cash. The tradition lives on today in the Puntacana Apiary. Read More→
