Where did you live previously? I am from Denver Colorado but have spent the last thirty years watching Puerto Vallarta grow into the wonderful city that it is today. I lived here for a short time in the early 1980s and was married for a long time to a native Puerto Vallartan.
When did you move to Vallarta? I actually moved down here last year for seven months to see how it would be living here full time. I went back in April and sold all my “worldly goods” and rented my house out. I return to Vallarta on Oct. 8th for at least two years.
What part of town do you live in? Downtown Centro
Why did you decide to move to Vallarta? The wonderful Mexican people as well as the great lifestyle that Vallarta offers to people that choose to live in this vibrant culture. I have been lucky to have my ex husband’s Mexican family here, including two grown godsons. I am blessed that they consider me part of the family.
What other places did you consider? None
What were the main reason(s) you moved here? Lifestyle and family
