Michael McNamara

Status: It’s complicated

Employed or Retired: Semi-retired

Where are you living now / where are you from: Born in Windsor, Ontario. Living in Scottsdale, AZ for the next few months. Have been in Colorado for most of the past 38 years.

Timeframe for a move: December 2014

Where else are you considering: Maybe Belize.

Why Vallarta: Been there on vacation once and really liked it. Have a couple of friends there who are full time residents and say they have no regrets on the change of lifestyle.

PV seems to have a great balance of infrastructure that I need to earn income, a reasonable cost of living and easy access to the US. The Pacific Ocean doesn’t hurt either.

How can ExPats in Vallarta assist you: A little guidance on where to live and any helpful ideas on getting established.
