Idea of living costs etc.

10 years ago
Hi there,
I am currently looking at options for moving my family from where we are currently (Colombia) to the Dominican Republic. I am English with 3 children and my wife is Colombian. We have been in Colombia for the past 4 years but are beginning to get fed up with a number of factors such as very high cost of living in Bogota, poor weather, lack of security etc.
I am trying to get an idea for the cost of living in the Dominican Republic from rental costs to education (13, 11 and 3 year old children) so that I can compare with what we currently pay. My thinking is to continue working part-time in Bogota and fly in every 6 weeks or so.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
