Who is Dominican Gringo?
An American Who Made the DR His Second Home
I've spent over two decades traveling between the United States and the Dominican Republic. I married a Dominican woman, purchased two apartments, opened bank accounts in both USD and Pesos, obtained an RNC number (Dominican tax ID), and navigated the real Dominican system — not the tourist version.
Now I help other foreigners do the same — without the costly mistakes I made along the way.
