What were the main reason(s) you moved here? Weather, safety.
What are the top (3) things you have learned that you think might help someone moving to Vallarta now?
- Single females are safe, {just use common sense}
- Money goes about 1/3 further right now
- Natural fresh food from the Mexican market.
- Learn to adapt to the Mexican way, then everything will be fine.
- Be patient!

Hi Sunshine,
I saw your profile. It would be interesting to talk when I am in PV. I live in SF/Bay Area and thinking about spending winter in PV.
How is it for a single woman to live here? Are there enough social activities? I noticed, that most expats are couples on this site.
Are there places for single expats to hang out, meet each other?
