Sex, Voodoo and Other Oddities: Stories from the Dominican Republic

About this ebook
This book is a hilarious travelogue about sex, voodoo (vodou) and other "taboos" that might be considered odd in other countries, but have become a part of normal daily life in the Dominican Republic.
The Dominican Republic is one of the most fascinating islands in the Caribbean, in modern times famous for its sexotourism and all-inclusive resorts.
My intention in writing this book is to share with you some of my experiences there, from funny to touching, including how I became an island expat there.
