Fernando Gonzalez & Jeff Wernicke

Status: Couple
Employed or Retired:  Employed
Where are you living now / where are you from:  We live here in Las Vegas, Nevada but are both originally from Chicago, Illinois. Jeff is a Flight Attendant for Southwest Airlines and I work at Costco in the Pharmacy.
Timeframe for a move:  We are looking to move in the next couple of years. No more than 3 years.
Where else are you considering:  We thought about Costa Rica as well but I think I would have a better chance of getting a job in Puerto Vallarta than Costa Rica. I’m hoping to get a position at the Costco there.
Why Vallarta:  Puerto Vallarta is such a beautiful place with a small town feel to it. The weather is great the food is awesome and it’s a lot cheaper to live there than here in the US
How can ExPats in Vallarta assist you:  We are in the research stage and have a bunch of questions. Where in PV is a good place to live? Is it safe to live there for expats? How does cellphone service work? How is the healthcare system there? We both plan on working still, Jeff is going to commute from PV to wherever he decided will be the best base for him. How are work visas and taxes done? What is the cost of living there? How much are basic utilities? We plan on purchasing a home there. How are real estate markets there?
