Samana : Living the Caribbean Way of Life
Doing your internship abroad while enjoying the Caribbean way of living, why not? the Dominican Republic has many reasons why you should definitely take this opportunity!
Do you know the place where the sea is the truest shade of turquoise, the white sand is the finest and the sun is the kindest?
It is right here: 19 ° 12 '29,052' N 69 ° 19 '56,827' W.
If you follow these coordinates, you will find yourself in a quaint little town of colorful houses, green palms and a promenade that invites you for a stroll. Samana is the name of this beautiful place where our trainees have always enjoyed their stay in the Dominican Republic. Maybe soon you will too?
Located in the Northeastern part of the Dominican Republic, Samana stands on the bay, Bahía de Samana. Looking just like a travel brochure, on the promenade, Malecón de Samana, the pure Dominican life takes place. From the bars, you can hear the rhythms of Bachata, Salsa and Merengue, and the aroma of freshly caught grilled fish that will lure you in the restaurants. Slightly curved palms scatter down the long stretches of sandy beaches. Here it is so beautiful that even countless humpback whales come annually to spend their honeymoon in the bay!
You are NOT advised to travel to the Dominican Republic, if :
You live on an exclusive diet of hamburgers and pizza and have no desire to taste the perfectly ripened, exotic fruits.
You love rainy, cold weather, and prefer using a parasol as an umbrella.
You are not interested in living a slower pace of life while letting yourself experience certain personal growth in between the gaps.
Number 1 tip : Take it Easy!
Honestly, the exquisite Caribbean beaches and bathtub temperature waters are not everything. The absolute highlight of the island is the Dominicans. The residents are a huge part of what makes Samana a very special destination for all travelers. The population of the bay is about 40,000, while around 25,000 reside in the city. They are open-minded, helpful and above all, relaxed. Here the true Caribbean lifestyle is still lived. There is a reason that this beautiful place on the northeastern side of the island is considered one of the safest destinations in the Caribbean. You will quickly capture a wonderful mix of inner peace and serenity. In the afternoon, you’ll be lying in a hammock while sipping on freshly cracked coconut water - ain’t that the life! This island will grant just about everything you could wish for - seemingly endless waterfalls, a unique, adventurous nature, beaches fringed with coconut palms and, above all, the Caribbean way of life.
