You could live here now! I can show you how.
My eBook tells you how.
No, this is not the Dominican Republic
In 2005 I moved to the island of Dominica with my husband (Mr. Wizard), Chester (an elderly Pug dog), and 27 boxes of books. I thought I would lounge in a hammock and read. Are you laughing yet?
Filthy lucre: here is the shameless effort to promote my book.
You could live here now! I can show you how.
Yes, you can afford to move to the Caribbean!
Dominica is not a touristy "McIsland", and it is certainly not for everyone, but it may be the perfect spot for you. If you are looking for a simpler life near to nature where you eat fresh foods and breathe fresh air away from cheesy tourist makeovers, this may be your spot. And, the lower cost of living may let you escape earlier than you thought possible!

Read what a long time expat says about my eBook:
"Congratulations on your book. I've been here for almost 10 years, and I would say that you have given an accurate, straightforward, honest, and fair presentation of "how it is here" , without overembellishing the good and not sugar coating the bad. Bravo!" --B.S.

More reader comments:
"Nice job on the book by the way, you answered many questions that we had. I'm sure the information will save us a lot of money and time." --J.L.
"I bought your ebook because I'm moving to Dominica (well that's the idea). Great ebook. I wish I had bought that before I moved to Barbados last year." -P.N.
"Thank you for your book which was very informative and I appreciate your honesty. Choosing a destination to move to is always difficult and I have always been keen on Dominica. Having read your down to earth summary I have realized that I would probably not feel at home here and it is great that someone has given an honest appraisal. You have not put me off, just made me realize that this is not going to suit my character and I will look at other Islands. I would definitely visit though." --Z.E.
"The ebook has been invaluable, by the way." --S.W.

i wish them all the luck in heaven and earth. it is a good move in the right direction.
Hi Jen,
My name is Kristen and I am thinking about doing my PhD research on the construction of linguistic attitudes and linguistic identity in relation to language maintenance in Dominica. Do you think there are enough Kweyol speakers there for me to learn it and not be frustrated by people who refuse to speak anything but English to me?
By the way, I have really enjoyed your blog! Thanks for the inside look into Dominica!
Best,
Kristen
LOTS of Kweole speakers on the island, and they would love to work with you, I am sure.
Good Luck,
Jen
Hi, thank you so much for providing me with such a detailed insight about life in Dominica. Our family, myself partner and daughter (1yrs) are visiting for 2 months from the start of September and I would like to ask you if it's possible to stay for longer (we are UK citizens) and can we bring our beloved dog (who has a pet passport) and then take back to BVI (part of the pet passport scheme) then back to UK (in a year or 2) I would be so grateful for any advice you could offer, I know you have your dog living with you, I would love to meet you when i am over and invite you for tea x
