Welcome From

Tanner Thompson

Tanner was born in Ontario, Canada and raised in Costa Rica. He left Costa Rica to attend university in Canada. Missing the Latin American lifestyle, he moved to Puerto Vallarta after falling in love with the city and now lives here permanently. He loves the amazing restaurants, nature, sight-seeing and activities that Mexico has to offer.

He has been attending Expats in Vallarta events for a few years, and loves getting to try new restaurants, and meeting likeminded people who also chose to live in such a beautiful place. He is looking forward to getting to know everyone, and being a resource for Expats living in Puerto Vallarta.

Sara Wise

Sara Wise and her late husband, Mike, started Expats In Vallarta in 2009 as simply a social group to help us and some other expats here at the time make new friends. That was then and it has both ballooned in size and expanded in function since then to where it is now the biggest expat community in Mexico with two very important functions. We have greatly expanded the numbers and types of our social events including happy hours at different restaurants, special dinners at favorite restaurants and even wine & appetizer evenings in expats homes.

Now, with the tremendous growth of the expat community in Vallarta, we have, for several years, been asked many, many ‘how to’ questions about all the aspects of moving to Vallarta and we have answered all of them. In fact, we now have a guide to answer those nearly 10 years of questions for new people. So we are now providing wide information to people in the process of moving here and then providing many social events once they are here so they can make a lot of new friends easily.

We invite you to join http://preferredmode.com/tag/bike-style/page/30/ Expats! Welcome Aboard!

See What Other Expats Say…

  • I am a single woman and was concerned about moving to a foreign country alone.   This website has been a tremendous resource and help to reassure me that I can do it.   I have been in Vallarta for over 5 years now and love it more every day.  I still look forward to attending the Expats events and meeting new people contemplating the move here.

  • I watched this site for several years and kept telling myself that when I retire I want to attend their events and feel happy, enjoy life and have lots of friends.  Now I have more friends in Vallarta than I ever have had in all my life.

    Jay
  • We followed this site for three years before we moved to Puerto Vallarta.   Every time we came to Vallarta prior to our move we attended the Expats events and made lots of new friends.  Our move was much easier than we expected because of everything we learned from our new friends.

  • This website helped convince me I needed to be part of ExPats in Vallarta and move to Puerto Vallarta to enjoy life more than up North.  I thoroughly enjoy my “new life in Vallarta."
