Why We’re Moving to the Dominican Republic BEFORE Our House is Built!

Even though our new home in Punta Cana is still under construction, we’ve decided to move in December and rent for a year while our build is being finished. In this episode, we break down why we’re making the leap early—from helping our family acclimate, establishing dual citizenship, and building local credit to embracing a slower pace of life and saving on major living expenses compared to Los Angeles. Plus, we share our criteria for finding the perfect family-friendly rental in Punta Cana and reveal a HUGE milestone.
