[QUOTE=Xpartan;2097318]They'll aim at $100 or more. You should be able to bargain for $80 if you prebook.[/QUOTE]Thanks. That's not too bad, especially considering it would cost $15-$25 from POP. Do you have any links/numbers for taxi companies I can pre book?

[URL]https://www.suntransfers.com/?st1018=1[/URL][/QUOTE]That's a great deal. Can't do much better for a private transfer.
[QUOTE=PuntingGeorge;2097375]Perfect! Was the driver there and easy to find at the booked time?[/QUOTE]Yes, you pay in advance. The driver had a sign with my name on it.
[QUOTE=Mongerer69;2096003]I make my reservations with Miguelina directly. [EMAIL]info.newgarden@gmail.com[/EMAIL].[/QUOTE]I think I'll be in Sosua on Nov 1st, or if they are full then I'll try the places next to it.
Just curious to know how many guys stay in Sosua for a month at a time or use it as a home base for other parts of the country? I've been to the DR a few times, hit Santiago and SD already. I love the DR vibe and the women but I go batshyt crazy during the day trying to keep occupied. Anyone else feel this way?
I've never been to Boca Chica or the surrounding areas, so maybe that's a go. I love to venture off but I don't like renting a car when I intend to party.
Caribe Tours can work wonders but I'm sure it has limits.
What would you do for a month in Sosua in the month of Feb?
Thanks.

Thanks.[/QUOTE]Do you speak Spanish? If so, why not find yourself a temporary wife or two, or three? Most of the girls there seem unemployed, so would be delighted to shack up with you for a couple of weeks. You could rent a cheap place to put her up, so you have company during the day and a guaranteed lay at night. When you want to go sport fucking you just tell her you're going out with friends.

Thanks.[/QUOTE]I don't recommend renting a car for short stays, where the main purpose is to party, for obvious reasons, but for a month you'll go stir crazy if you want to explore and have to rely on public transportation.
Between mongering you may have a fair bit of down time. The North Coast is a great place to explore (and meet women) all the way from PP to Semana and Las Terenas.
Likewise Santiago and SD, and of course Boca is worth a look, a Sosua wannabe.
Not much in my opinion to see down Punta Cana way, it's all gated high end family resorts spread out for miles. The best part of going to Punta Cana, is a night in Higuey, on the way there or back.
That's the tourist route. If you like to get lost there are many lesser known and lesser visited towns that don't see a lot of tourists. You might find YOUR paradise!
See the "Other Areas" forum for ideas.
Enjoy!

First of all you assume that the girl has no kids and no family, which is a big leap, but even if you find an unemployed young woman who has no kids, she will be looking for a lot more from relationship than a few weeks employment as your live-in mistress / housekeeper / tempoary wife. These women are not Muslims! Even if you imagine that you have an agreed contract for a temporary marriage for 2 weeks, she will also be looking for a visa to whatever country you live in where there are permanent employment possibilities. Also the idea that "When you want to go sport fucking you just tell her you're going out with friends" will absolutely not fly. If you show up in the town center people will be calling her within minutes and and asking what gives, and within 5 minutes she will be on the scene.
I realize that you have just been to Sosua one time and are sitting at home fantasizing about what you could do with a month in Sosua, but no! Please don't offer advice to people who might not understand this.
BTW, I lived in the Puerto Plata and Sosua areas for some years and speak Spanish fluently.

I have no desire to wife up. My style of mongering is pump and dump. On occasion I will repeat with a good session but I don't make a habit of it.
I've been to Sosua 4 times so I know what I am getting into, although it has been several years since I was there. On my last trip I remember walking the main strip several times a day to have somewhere to go. I did a few tours with some minor exploring into local barrios. The girls were responsive to me in a good way. Love Dominican Music Etc.
My concern with doing a multi city trip without having a base would be booking lodging arrangements during the high season. I hate to pre book anything due to cancellation penalties and extending myself too far in advance.
Have food prices gone up in the restaurants? I'd have around $125 per day for food, pfp, tours.
Oakie also makes some good points.

The chica will not accept only being paid at the end of the period. So the monger will pay each day. How is this different from paying any other chica (s)? In practice, after three or four days of living with one chica when surrounded by dozens of others he fancies, he will opt for a change. The chica knows this will happen so is not going to charge a reduced "package" rate each day.
Different if he already has a chica he knows and trusts, but that does not apply in Artisttyp's case. As it happens, PuntingGeorge and I do know a chica with whom it would probably work, and maybe that influenced George's post? But Artisttyp is not interested in that sort of arrangement and in any case she may not be his type.

Yes, I'm sure she'd be up for it but appreciate it's fanciful thinking in most cases.
Hey guys,
I am going to Santiago this week, can anyone tell me the cost to take a bus from Santiago to Sosua? Or the cost by taxi? I am hoping there is an express bus, but not sure.
