It’s almost here: the 2019 edition of Moon Dominican Republic published by Moon Guides. This is my second edition and it features new images, refreshed itineraries, and countrywide updates through 2018.
The book is scheduled for release in September and you can now pre-order your copy on Amazon at this link.

If you haven’t yet, check out this video highlighting some of my favorite moments on the road across the DR last year, while working on my book updates.
