Travel notes for Dominican Republic
DO / FIELD NOTESData the moment you land
The eSIM installs at home, on wifi, with no rush, and switches itself on when you land. Plans run from 1 GB to 20 GB, valid up to 30 days, with unlimited day passes for longer stays. It’s the difference between walking off the plane looking for a counter and walking off the plane ordering a car.
Timing your trip
Summer in Dominican Republic lands between June and August, and the prices and the queues come with it. If you can pick, May or September give you the same place with fewer people and less heat.
Paying your way
Budget in the local currency and check the day’s exchange rate before you travel. Tell your bank you’ll be abroad so cards aren’t blocked, prefer cards or a travel wallet for the best rate, and carry a little cash for markets and small towns.
Documents & cover
Photograph your passport, visa and insurance and put the copies somewhere you can reach without your phone: an email to yourself works. The day the bag goes, the copies are what turn a disaster into an errand.
Getting understood
When you share no language at all, writing beats talking: type it, show the screen, let them type back. Speaking louder and slower has never worked for anybody.
Cities in the Dominican Republic
