Dominica, the Nature Island of the Caribbean, is an alluring land of majestic, mist-covered mountains spilling with waterfalls. It is a place where rainforests with parrots like flying rainbows and orchids growing wild are part of the natural surroundings.

"There is an earthy, beckoning presence to this island where untamed Nature invites the newcomer to walk in her primal rainforests then enter the caress of her warm mineral baths... Many souls have lost their hearts to lesser beauty. The riotous abundance of fertile nature dazzles the eye and the sweet scent of bay leaf and ginger permeates the air like a perfume. ´Prepare to fall in love, utterly and completely,´ the Island whispers. Prepare to be unwilling to settle for life anywhere but on this living island."

This excellent eBook will thoroughly entertain as you learn step-by-step how you can move to a little-known paradise in the Caribbean and live the life of your dreams in the seductive tropics. Yes, you can afford to move to an English-speaking island in the Caribbean, and this fact-filled, fun-loving guide will show you exactly how to take yourself there!

Dominica is not for everyone, but it just may be the escape spot for you. Its modest cost of living could allow you to retire early and live the life you´ve always desired. Imagine being free to scuba and snorkel the pristine reefs, hike to waterfalls for a swim, or plant an exotic rainforest garden. You might decide to fish one day, to paint or write the next -- tropical living definitely makes the creative juices flow! -- or maybe today just lie in a hammock and read a book. Tonight you could socialize with the international community of fellow expats and native Dominicans. You won´t just live in an enclave of North Americans in the Commonwealth of Dominica. People come from all over the world and the expat community is richly multicultural.

Dominica is open for business and many expats start their own companies on the island. The government provides attractive incentives for business owners. A number of expat residents have started new businesses and have launched successful second careers on the island.

If you are looking to get away from a pre-packaged life, you will enjoy reading this lively eBook about life in Dominica. You will learn about the challenges as well as the joys of living on the island. Information not readily available to the tourist is detailed and you will get a sense of how it is to live there. This eBook is full of insightful anecdotes about the island which give a real taste of island life. Details of cost of living, finding a house and deciding where to live on the island are all discussed in depth. You will also learn the steps of how to manage (and not mismanage!) a move to the island, including important pitfalls to avoid.

Called The Nature Island of the Caribbean, Dominica is an incredibly beautiful spot with rainforest-covered mountains, 365 clean rivers, and a rich marine environment which includes a resident population of whales. Literally, a stick placed in the volcanic island´s soil will sprout. Fruits and vegetables grow abundantly. During mango season the roadsides are full of fallen mangoes which people simply pick up to eat their fill. Avocados grow to enormous sizes and the variety of fruits and vegetables available in the open-air market is dizzying. The people of Dominica are very generous and often share the abundance from their gardens like country folk in the US once did. The locals say that no one need go hungry in Dominica if they were willing to plant a garden or fish.

"Fresh fish is readily available and is sometimes delivered to your door by fishermen who announce their catch by blowing a Conch shell. For about $7 EC dollars a pound or about $2.60 US you can eat the freshest yellow fin tuna you´ve ever tasted. Land crab, during its season, is used to make a tasty dish called crab backs, and prawns grow in the rivers to sizes unseen in America."

Life has little stress in this wayside nation. This and the fresh air, abundance of fish, fruits, and vegetables may be why Dominica was home to one of the worlds oldest women: Ma Pampo who died at 127. In fact, there are a number of residents over the age of 100 on the island: one source lists 22 in a population of just 70,000. Although retirees may not achieve 100, it is thought that a life on Dominica may undo some of the damage done by years of breathing polluted air and eating processed foods.

Often mistaken for the Spanish speaking Dominican Republic, Dominica retains a decidedly English flavor due to its British colonial past. English is the language and wherever you go on the island, you will be greeted with a warm "Good Morning!" or "Good Afternoon!" The people and government of Dominica welcome new residents and after five years as a resident you can apply for citizenship. There is also an economic citizenship program which can quickly provide citizenship and a second passport.

Dominica has not yet been invaded by hordes of tourists and their trappings. Relatively few people actually vacation there. You will find no big resorts, no golf courses, and no evidence of slick merchandising. One day the island will be discovered by the real world and this will all change, but today it is still relatively unspoiled by a tourist make-over. For someone seeking fresh air, abundant water and a dazzling natural setting, Dominica is the ideal spot.

Nestled between the French islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique in the West Indies, Dominica has all of the modern conveniences like broadband internet access and cable television. Cell phone service is excellent throughout the island and banking can be done with one of several international banks on the island.

Dominica is safe and enjoys the lowest crime rate in the Caribbean. Hiding inside an enclosure is not necessary there as it is on some other islands. The culture is somewhat like stepping back about 50 years. It reminds you of the small towns of days gone by before McDonald's, Wal-Mart and strip malls made everywhere look and feel the same. There are no traffic lights, no shopping malls, and even the streets of the capital, Roseau, are quiet after dark. It is really a sleepy little place to watch the rest of the world go by.

Real estate is moderately priced compared with other islands in the Caribbean. You can rent a fully furnished house with sea views and a garden full of fruit trees for a remarkable US $400-$700. Land is readily available for purchase at US $20,000 per acre and a sturdy hurricane resistant concrete house can be yours for an unbelievable US $140,000.

Sound good so far? This is just a small part of what this eBook contains. The real treasure in this thorough and delightful report is the important information anyone considering a Dominican retirement should know: how to move your household and what to bring in that move, where to live on the island, how to negotiate the visa process, how to buy a car, how to find a rental. This information was gathered at the "School of Experience" by the author and her spouse, and is shared in detail along with key mistakes they made in their move. The book also provides an important guide for visiting the island to check it out as a possible retirement spot.

Written with humor and love for the island, Jennifer Miller´s Retire to the Nature Island of the Caribbean, Dominica, is the only material available at this time about moving to the Nature Island. Yes, you can afford to retire on a green and pleasant English-speaking island in the Caribbean, and you can still get there before the real world does.
