I am an English lady married to a Dominican, and have been living in the DR for the past 20 years. I used to work in marketing in the UK and left to become a Scuba Diving instructor, travelling the world working in diving before ending up in the DR. I came here on a 6 month contract specifically to learn Spanish and fell in love with the country and the people, so I stayed. I work as a translator, writer (have published 2 books about the DR and a 3rd on the way), paralegal and marketing consultant.
I joined expat.com on 27 September 2011.
