Lots of palm trees, pretty sunsets and beaches is where I am happiest. Las Terrenas in the Samana province was my favorite place to visit. I spent a short two nights here and kept myself busy with a hike to the waterfall El Limon and a visit to Playa Bonita. Nightlife is great here as well, with lots of beach bars, dancing (and dance instructors that will show you what to do!) and live music. You can go out for nice lunches and dinners as well, like this delicious pizza I had at Playa Bonita. It was so big, it didn’t fit on my plate haha. I stayed at Manty’s guesthouse, the ideal place for a solo traveller. You’ll get to meet lots of other travelers who will gladly go explore the surrounding area with you. The best way – and the funnest way – to get around this area is by motor taxi. It might not be the safest option ahah but the drivers are quite experienced and will take you anywhere you ask. My best memories were made during a night out, zooming through the empty streets of Las Terrenas and seeing what place we will go dancing next. The motor taxi drivers always try to get a bit more money out of you than the trip is really worth, so taking these will also improve your bargaining skills :D.
