As international travel resumes, we’re reminding ourselves of the places we most like to be… and making plans to return as soon as possible.

My favorite place to kick it in the Caribbean? That’d be Las Terrenas, Dominican Republic.

Why do I enjoy this quirky little beach town as much as I do?

Here are my top 10 favorite things to do in charming Las Terrenas…

#1: Breakfast At The Authentic Boulangerie Française

Walk to town for breakfast at the authentic Boulangerie Française, open seven days a week and a favorite meeting place for local expats and tourists…

#2: Watch A Game Of Pétanque

Watch a game of pétanque on the beach just before sunset at Place des Lices.

Retired Frenchmen meet here each evening to play on the sand for a couple of hours before the light fades entirely. When the sun goes down, they transition from pétanque to white wine…

#3: Take A Surf Lesson

Take a surf lesson at the Carolina Surf School on Playa Bonita.

For US$50, you can have an hour-long lesson from an enthusiastic and expert surfing coach. The school is run by Carolina Gutiérrez, a surfer who scored her first sponsorship at age 16 and was the 2004 DR Sportsperson of the Year. Classes are offered year-round…

#4: Have Lunch At Atlantis

Have lunch at Atlantis, also at Playa Bonita, where the French chef was once the private chef for former French President Mitterrand…

Beautiful white building in the DR

#5: Visit Mundo Puro

See how Dominican Republic cigars are made by hand at Mundo Puro on Calle Principal…

#6: Watch The Whales

January through March you can take a three- to four-hour boat trip to Samaná Bay with marine mammal expert Kim Beddall who provides a hydrophone so you can hear the whale song. If you do not see whales your next trip is free. Cost is US$59 for adults; US$30 for children…

#7: Buy A Piece Of Local Art

Brightly colored impressions and representations of Dominican life are available around town

You can buy a piece of low-end factory art on the street for as little as US$25. Prices are negotiable. Offer as little as 30% of the asking price to start. Higher value is the work by contemporary local artist Charlie Simon, whose works have hung in galleries in France and elsewhere in Europe. Charlie’s paintings sell for US$300 to US$4,000…

#8: Go To The Lazy Dog

Go for happy hour at the Lazy Dog, where you can sit right on the sand with the sea just feet away. Try the calamari and fried shrimp with your rum cocktail…

#9: Go To The Beach

Take a long walk on the beach, read a book, swing in a hammock, or indulge in any other traditional pastime for this part of the world. This is quintessential Caribbean, with the best beaches in the DR and some of the best in the world…

#10: Go Kitesurfing

The kitesurfing school LTK’iTE offers both introductory and advanced courses December through September (when the winds cooperate best). A two-hour beginner class is US$120…

Kathleen Peddicord has covered the live, retire, and do business overseas beat for more than 30 years and is considered the world's foremost authority on these subjects. She has traveled to more than 75 countries, invested in real estate in 21, established businesses in 7, renovated historic properties in 6, and educated her children in 4.

Kathleen has moved children, staff, enterprises, household goods, and pets across three continents, from the East Coast of the United States to Waterford, Ireland... then to Paris, France... next to Panama City, where she has based her Live and Invest Overseas business. Most recently, Kathleen and her husband Lief Simon are dividing their time between Panama and Paris.

Kathleen was a partner with Agora Publishing’s International Living group for 23 years. In that capacity, she opened her first office overseas, in Waterford, Ireland, where she managed a staff of up to 30 employees for more than 10 years. Kathleen also opened, staffed, and operated International Living publishing and real estate marketing offices in Panama City, Panama; Granada, Nicaragua; Roatan, Honduras; San Miguel de Allende, Mexico; Quito, Ecuador; and Paris, France.

Kathleen moved on from her role with Agora in 2007 and launched her Live and Invest Overseas group in 2008. In the years since, she has built Live and Invest Overseas into a successful, recognized, and respected multi-million-dollar business that employs a staff of 35 in Panama City and dozens of writers and other resources around the world.

Kathleen has been quoted by The New York Times, Money magazine, MSNBC, Yahoo Finance, the AARP, and beyond. She has appeared often on radio and television (including Bloomberg and CNBC) and speaks regularly on topics to do with living, retiring, investing, and doing business around the world.

In addition to her own daily e-letter, the Overseas Opportunity Letter, with a circulation of more than 300,000 readers, Kathleen writes regularly for U.S. News & World Report and Forbes.

Her newest book, "How to Retire Overseas: Everything You Need to Know to Live Well (for Less) Abroad," published by Penguin Random House, is the culmination of decades of personal experience living and investing around the world.
