Boca Chica, Dominican Republic

An eagle's eye view of living in the Dominican Republic from someone who actually lives in the Dominican Republic!

For most people, the thought of moving to a "third world country" is daunting. Where do I live? Is it cheap? Is it safe? What will I eat? What is everyday life like? What if I don't speak the language? How will I get around? What if I get sick? So many questions and not enough answers. Oh, there are plenty of websites out there, but do those people actually live there?

So enters the "Dominican Treasures" blog. We actually live in Boca Chica, Dominican Republic. We walk the streets, shop in the shops, eat the food, and are learning the language. Let us show you what living in the Dominican Republic is REALLY like. That way you'll know for sure if it's for you.

As we go about life here we will be updating our blog with pictures and little stories of our everyday lives. Feel free to leave comments or email us with questions. We'd be more than happy to help in any way.

Supporting ourselves - Wrote a book called The Ultimate Furnace Installation Guide

Yep we have moved . We are now in Peru . We went back to the states, my dad had been sick. We then moved to Peru and are currently living there. We might pick up a blog and post more photos. Life in Peru Is way different then in The Dominican Republic.

Some are asking how we support ourselves. Well we maintain a website called www.furnacebook.com . I was a contractor for 20 years and wrote a book called The Ultimate Furnace Installation Instructions . We sell one a day and this seems to support us pretty well. So if your looking to install a furnace or an ac system, even a heat pump visit the site and buy the book.

Unless we return to the Dominican we will probably not post here no more. Thanks to all our loyal readers. Tony and Peg Gatto
