A couple can live a very nice life on Isla Mujeres for around $36,000 a year, or $2,500-$3,000 a month, including rent.
4. Las Terrenas, Dominican Republic
Columbus knew he was on to something good when he spotted a beautiful, coral-rimmed island in 1492. "This is the fairest land under heaven," the explorer is reported to have said.
Though Columbus made many mistakes on his first voyage to the New World, he was right about the island, now known as Hispaniola, the eastern part of which is the Dominican Republic (link). (The western side is Haiti.) The Dominican Republic has great weather and world-class beaches, not to mention a low cost of living and a stable government--plus it's just 3 1/2 hours from New York, which means you can leave the city in the morning and be on the beach for lunch.

Hollywood Shines in the Dominican Republic


Puerto Rico has long tried to attract Hollywood to film on the island, with success in such endeavors as “The Rum Diary,” “Contact,” “Golden Eye” and “Amistad.”
Now it seems that the Dominican Republic has become a popular filming location for Hollywood, so much so that the Dominican Republic government estimates that recent film productions have brought in $152 million to the Caribbean country’s coffers since the coronavirus pandemic began more than a year ago.
The presence of Hollywood celebrities such as Mark Wahlberg, Vin Diesel and Jennifer López in the country has attracted the attention of the public and the media, who closely follow their movements to the different sites chosen by the film industry to shoot the films.

Vahe Gregorian: How Jarrod Dyson's return to Royals is about what he embodies and stands for
Vahe Gregorian, The Kansas City Star
Mar. 7—SCOTTSDALE, Arizona — When it comes to Jarrod Dyson, maybe the first images that come to mind are those attached to his vivid personality: his mantra, "That's What Speed Do," and the vroooming on the base paths. Or the backflip and a tendency toward filter-free talk.
Remember his answer, for instance, when he was asked if he believed the American League Championship Series against Baltimore would be returning there with the Royals holding a 2-0 lead as the series resumed in Kansas City?

Havana, Mar 5 (Prensa Latina) Cuba is currently developing an international collaboration project aimed at increasing resilience in rural homes and communities, in order to face the challenges of climate change.
Focused on 51,713 family farmers (23,788 of them women) from municipalities vulnerable to this phenomenon, the initiative seeks to improve working techniques, which will contribute to productive landscape restoration, reforestation and assisted natural regeneration.
For that purpose, investments are made in technology, machinery, equipment and supplies, according to a statement released by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in Cuba.

14 Spring Break Destinations That Are Still Open for 2021 – Trips To Discover


While you may not think of Croatia as a spring break destination, if you love to get out on the water, it’s ideal and open to visitors, including Americans, who present a negative Covid-19 PCR test taken within 48 hours. Consider booking a yacht charter through Cruise Croatia as it’s not only cheaper than you probably think, but it’s like sailing in your own private floating villa, the ultimate in safety and unforgettability. Plus good deals can be found early in the season, with many leaving Split so you can spend time in the over 1,700-year-old city and visit favorite islands like Hvar, Korcula, and Vis too. Most include water toys and a chef on board for fresh, delicious meals with local ingredients that can be paired with Croatian wines too.
