A Personal Journey That Became a Bigger Vision
I’m Ani, the founder of DR Living Co. My journey began when I realized that the life I had built in the United States no longer felt right for me. After working in a government job that left me unfulfilled, a birthday trip to the Dominican Republic opened my eyes to a different way of living.
That trip sparked a desire for more freedom, connection, and alignment. I eventually left that job, returned to work while saving money, and kept coming back to the Dominican Republic—each visit deepening my connection to the island. Over time, I decided to make it my home.
Through this journey, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the country, its people, culture, natural beauty, and everyday rhythms. DR Living Co. grew from that experience—a way to help others explore the Dominican Republic more intentionally, whether you’re visiting, considering a move, or exploring ways to work remotely.
Helping You Discover More
DR Living Co. was created to make exploring and planning a future in the Dominican Republic feel more approachable and grounded in reality. I bring together practical relocation guidance, personalized travel planning, authentic local experiences, and resources for exploring remote income opportunities.
The goal is to help you see beyond the typical tourist experience and start to understand what life here could actually look like—through the lens of culture, community, and the island’s natural beauty.
