Hello DR1.
I am a 20y/o male, and I am currently visiting the Dominican Republic. I was ready to embark on a journey through the islands' various campos and towns on my own, in a rented jeep. That was until my good uncle warned me not to take the trip because the island is very dangerous due to crime. And not being from around here puts me in great danger of being robed/raped and killed.

Okay, so that leaves the question. Should I go? or stay put.
The whole point of my trip here is to visit and get to know the island, and I really hate the capital. But, If it is really that dangerous out there, than I rather not risk it.
