Where are you living now / where are you from: I am from St. Louis, Missouri in the USA. However, I am now living in Napa, California. I am a Spanish teacher by day and a wine-making student by night.
Timeframe for a move: I am hoping to move in the summer of 2015 after finishing the school year.
Where else are you considering: I am not considering other places other than PV at this time.
Why Vallarta: I very recently took a trip with some friends/ house-sitting clients to spend the new year in Puerto Vallarta with them in their condo in Nuevo Vallarta. I fell in love with the place and the people. I made some wonderful friends and they sparked the idea in me to try living in PV. I am very adventurous and also in need of a change. I am fluent in Spanish and the idea of living and working in a Spanish-speaking country is also very appealing.
How can ExPats in Vallarta assist you: I need some advice/ assistance in finding work. I have teaching, customer service and hospitality experience. I am just not sure how to get started.
Why not Valle de Guadalupe ? Mexico’s wine country ?
You might start by sending your resume to the schools in PV or making appointments and coming down
to let them meet you in person.
I know a teacher at Napa HS. Bea Garza has been a friend of mine for many years. She may
have a different last name. She teaches Severely Handicapped.
Good luck anyway. Rita
