Hi gang,

I'm preparing (packing) for a year long walkabout. At the moment I'm planning to spend much of the year looking for a compatible town in the DR for my retirement.

I expect to be in Cabarete until march and then to Las Terrenas for a spell.聽 I'm expecting for my espanole to return to my tongue in a couple of months. Like riding a bike right?聽 I'm a farm boy from Maryland and Cabarete would be a metropolis for me.

Where do you all gather as an expat group? Look for the 50 year old bald guy with glasses in late November.

Best

Welcome Austin.
Sounds like a great plan and a fun trip
There are lots of places to meet other Expats in the area and I am including Sosua, which has a bigger Expat presence than Cabarete in the area to look at.
In Sosua many can be found at the local bars and restaurants down town like the Brit, Jolly Rodger, El Conde, Caf茅 Cubano, Orchidee, Prada el Choco, Margot's and lot of others.
In Cabarete most of the restaurants and bars along the beach but you will find more tourists and聽 a younger crowd here along with a good number of Expats.
Just keep your eye out for other 50-65 year old bald folks (me 67 and bald)

What up! I live in Cabarete. Born in Maryland (never really lived there, though). Been here 6 years. Cabarete is basically one big small coffee and cocktails gathering place. You don't need much help to find anything or anyone. But here are a few of my favorite spots:
