The biggest hesitation wasn’t moving... it was moving with a newborn.
We grow up believing that life outside the U.S. is risky or impossible, especially with young kids. I had the same fears.
But here’s what I learned: you don’t need to know everything before you move…you just need a plan.
Before we moved, we made sure we had:
• A pediatrician we trusted.
• The closest emergency room mapped out.
• Private health insurance.
• Pharmacies and essential services nearby.
• A basic understanding of how the healthcare system worked.
Was there a learning curve? Absolutely. It was my first time living outside the U.S.
But once those pieces were in place, we realized our fears were much bigger than the reality.
If you’re waiting for the “perfect time,” remember: there will always be another reason to wait. Prepare well, then trust yourself enough to take the leap. 💖
Comment “GUIDE” if you’d like my Moving to the Dominican Republic Guide. I created it to answer the questions I once had and help make your move feel less overwhelming. 🇩🇴
