 Dominica

Intro

Backpacking or traveling in Dominica?

  • One of the best kept secrets of the region. Dominica is a beautiful island, full of green, mountains, volcanoes and waterfalls. No masses of beach tourists come here, but adventurers, nature lovers and those seeking peace and quiet.
  • Spotting activities: hike to Boiling Lake, a gigantic hot spring lake in the heart of the jungle; snorkel at Champagne Reef; walk through the Valley of the Geysers; admire the Emerald Pool in the middle of the jungle; cool off at Trafalgar Falls; combine history and nature at Fort Shirley in Cabrits National Park; learn about the original islanders in the Kalinago Territory; pamper yourself in the Hot Springs of Wotten Waven; look out over the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean at Scott's Head.
  • Spotting animals: Sisserou parrot, Jaco parrot, sperm whales, green sea turtles, Caribbean manatee, Caribbean lobsters, dolphins.
  • Food spotting: mountain chicken (it's not a chicken, but a giant frog, oddly enough), callaloo soup, Caribbean lobster, salted fish with green bananas, bouyon, agouti.

Studying in Dominica?

  • The possibilities are limited, but it is of course a great place to study. The island mainly attracts medical students and students in ecological fields.
  • Study city: Portsmouth.
  • Language: English.

Internships in Dominica?

  • Internships can mainly be found at universities, for example in the field of (marine) ecological research.

Volunteering in Dominica?

  • There are opportunities for volunteer work. For example, you can find opportunities in the field of ecological research, ecotourism, community support and education.

Working in Dominica?

  • It is not easy to find work in Dominica. The largest sectors are ecotourism and agriculture, so this is the best place to look.

Working as a digital nomad in Dominica?

  • Dominica is not a popular digital nomad destination, but that is precisely why it can be interesting. It is a paradise with reasonably stable internet in the cities (but also many places without internet) and some work places here and there.
  • Favorite locations: Roseau & Portsmouth.

Living in Dominica?

  • Living in Dominica is for those who like to live in nature and want to exchange the hustle and bustle of the city for peace and quiet. You live a paradise island life, it is only less developed (and therefore cheaper) than some other islands in the region. It is also easy that English is spoken.
  • Education: there are a few primary and secondary schools.
  • Expat community: you will meet many American, Canadian and British expats, but also expats from other countries.
  • Safety: quite safe!
  • Culture: the culture of Dominica is a mix of Caribbean traditions and indigenous Kalinago influences. Expect many colorful festivals, music and dance.
  • Note: life in Dominica can be basic, especially in terms of infrastructure. Don't expect metropolitan luxury, and be prepared for an island pace, where things can sometimes take a little longer. Health Insurance: Dominica has a number of hospitals and health centers, mainly in Roseau. For specialized care, it may be necessary to travel to another island. So make sure you have your own good health insurance.

Travel in Dominica?

  • This volcanic island is caused by untouched extinct, waterfalls, hot sulphur springs and diving opportunities. This island has not yet been discovered by mass tourism, so a good destination if you like peace and quiet. A more sporty approach in mind? How about a 180 kilometre long hike through all the landscapes of the island: the Waitukubuli trail.

Activities abroad: home page

From language courses to gap year abroad, from work experience to volunteering abroad, from paid work to internship abroad, from mountaineering to diving and from backpacking to travel around the world

    What social activities can you do abroad?

    • Opportunities are found in the areas of helping, learning or studying. You can get involved to volunteer in a social project at a school in Africa, Asia or Latin America. You can get involved in nature, in a project with animals or cleaning the sea or beaches. Those who want to learn more can choose for example a language course in Latin America, Spain or South Africa.

    What work related activities can you do abroad?

    • If you want to gain work experience, and/or also earn money, go and work abroad. You can combine backpacking in Australia with temporary work. You can work on campsites in Europe or bush camps in Africa. You can pretty much go all over the world to work in the hospitality industry, hotels and hostels, in the healthcare sector or for example at a diving school.

    What sports activities to do abroad?

    • Have you ever thought of mountain biking, rafting (going down a wild river on a raft or rubber dinghy, climbing or canoeing), survival (which involves building rafts, climbing or canoeing), abseiling (descending a rock face while secured to ropes), zip-lining (whizzing down a cable), canyoning (starting at the top of a river and then climbing, swimming, diving down the bed) or caving (scrambling, wriggling and crawling through caves and crevices)?
    • Maybe you feel more comfortable on a bodyboard (on a half-wave surfboard, you surf the high waves lying down-with flippers), on a hang glider or while paragliding (with a parachute you float down a mountain or dune), hydrospeeding (on a bodyboard with flippers and a wetsuit on you go down a wild river via rapids) or Tiefschneeskiing (racing down through powder snow)?
