Carolan & Craig Lassiter

 In Alberta, Canada, Member Profiles, Thinking of Moving to Vallarta, Where We are From

Carolan & Craig LassiterStatus: Couple

Employed or Retired: Employed

Where are you living now / where are you from: Edmonton, Alberta Canada

Timeframe for a move: Part time in the next two years, Full time within 5

Where else are you considering: No where else, we love Mexico.

Why Vallarta: I have been traveling to Vallarta for over 25 years. We have family that lives here and we have had the fortune to meet many wonderful locals throughout the years. I work as an artist, and Craig is a firefighter and paints. I always find inspiration for my work traveling here. We are both avid yogi’s and have found wonderful classes here. We also run and have had the fun of racing in PV.

The relaxed vibe, friendly people and beautiful weather are all large factors in our decision. Others include the amazing selection of restaurants, outdoor activities, farmers markets, opportunity to volunteer, and of course the $1 drinks at the Sea Monkey.

How can ExPats in Vallarta assist you:

We are looking to meet new friends expand our social circle,and any advice regarding our move.

I am also hoping to participate in the local Farmers Markets with my artwork, and am hoping to teach classes as well.

Craig is hoping to work with the local fire department volunteering and helping with Hazmat training.

    Hello!’We are are a retired couple from Winnipeg Manitoba. We bought a home in Arizona and spend 6 months a year.We are selling Arizona this year and plan to spend 5-6 months a year in PV. We have never been there but spent a month in Merida Mexico every year for five years. We will also be looking to establish a relationship with ex- pats.. Please feel free to keep my email. As I think we will be there before you, maybe we can give you some information on housing ideas. Right now we plan to rent. That could change. Good luck with your future. Sounds exciting.
