Let me help you turn your dreams into a reality. The same way I did for myself. After many years working in the advertising industry in New York and more than a couple of real estate investments under my belt. I decided to take a chance and make the North Coast of the Dominican Republic my home.
My passion for indulging in new cultures and the love of the ocean has kept me here without any regrets. Island life is slower and more intentional. It’s definitely a recipe for a longer and happier life.
