Just out, this great book is just SO simple. It answers all the Frequently Asked Questions about moving to the DR, in a straightforward who, where, what, when, why and how format. Ilana is the co-author, though her co-author, Ginnie Bedggood, sadly passed away during the production of this book. Expat FAQs is their second book on living in the DR, and actually Ilana's third, for she also wrote a cookbook. This interview focusses on effective co-authoring and how to exploit, or repurpose your knowledge in effective ways.
