Based on Port-au-Prince's cost of living, here's selected remote jobs that would cover your costs:
Jarabacoa is an amazing town. It has a lot of local tourism from Dominicans so there are a lot of excursions like horseback riding, rafting, excursions, waterfalls, parasailing and more. Not as humid as other places in DR. Wouldnt stay here more than 2 weeks unless you are really into outdoorish mountains

HOWEVER, Santo Domingo is the capital of the country. Just like most Capitals in Latin America (Mexico City being the exception), it's not worth visiting much time. If you want to experience what the Dominican Republic has to offer (Beaches, Nature, Friendly Locals) as a nomad I would recommend Las Terrenas or Cabarete.

I've been there twice a year since 2017. Despite Montegonians warning me about how dangerous it is, using common sense, respecting the locals and their culture, and not being an asshat, unsurprisingly, goes a long way. I'm not big on tourist traps, but stopping by Devon House is a must. If it isn't for the history of its buildings or the beautiful gardens, stop and get an amazing curry goat p

Had the misfortune of spending my teens and a couple college years here. Although I hear it's a bit better now. If there's one thing it has going for it is a solid coffee scene and tons of talented musicians - although in general they quickly abandon ship to Austin or DFW. In general, avoid like the plague. It's a 300,000 pop hub of consumerism, ultra-christian-conservatism, obesity, fast-food chains, college bros, STDs and mega churches.
