My trip was completely different from what I expected it to be. The Corona crisis changed my travel plans and I almost got stuck on the island for an undefined time. But this post won’t be just about that. I’ll also talk about the Dominican Republic and how I fell in love with this country in only 12 days.
You might have read my last post about traveling the Dominican Republic during the elections and corona. If so, you already know that I had to change my travel plans a bit. I couldn’t do any of the things that I planned but I spent two weeks on research and planning the trip. I don’t want to keep all that information from you so here’s my travel route for the Dominican Republic! You can either get around with a rental car or by buses/taxis but the second option will be more expensive and inflexible.
Since I’ve been an aupair very close to the New York State border I’ve been to the city a lot. Also I had a lot of friends and family visiting who I wanted to show all my favorite places in NYC. Most of the times they only bought limited time and since there’s sooo much to explore in this awesome place I kinda created my own tour around Manhattan and I’m gonna share it with you:
How I managed packing for 3 weeks and 2 different climates with only one 50L backpack? Read here what I packed. And always keep in mind: Less is more! It’s totally normal to bring too many things on your first trip but you’ll learn pretty fast which things you really need while travelling and which you can leave at home. If you want to skip the heavy lifting, here’s my pack list:
2 weeks, one car, 2 people, 5.638 kilometers, 8 countries, 5 coasts, 2 mountains crossed, 14 different spots to sleep, one blowout and countless french baguettes. That’s what summarizes best our little Eurotrip.
