Expats
in Vallarta is a group of expats from different countries, mostly from the U.S. and Canada, living in the Puerto Vallarta
area. The purpose of the group is informal fellowship and assistance for expat residents or visitors living,
working or investing around Vallarta or considering it. There is no membership fee or requirement; pay
only for what you consume or use.
The
first event of Expats in Vallarta was a Happy Hour held in July at Cheeky Monkey on the Malecon with over 65 people attending
in spite of difficult parking that night due to construction for a concert. Everyone had a great time and
met lots of “new friends.”
Our group continues to grow each month. Several times we have had over
100 people attending. It has been a wonderful way to meet new “friends” and get re-acquainted
with old friends. We are excited for this winter and all the returning Ex Pats and the new ones that are
moving or looking at the area for the season that will be attending.
Drop-Ins Are Welcome!
In order to facilitate communication among expats, this site has been created.
Postings on this site can be done by any member for general announcements, emergency assistance, services
offered or needed, items for sale, questions on travel etc. as well as the organizers communicating details of upcoming events.
Related Expat Explorer events to go beyond the Happy
Hours with fun, laughter and learning in smaller groups throughout the month will be scheduled when desired by the members.
Events being considered are fun theme parties, local tours such as furniture/décor businesses and medical facilities,
outings such as hiking and whale watching and presentations on subjects such as investing in Mexico and oceanography.
Be sure to check our Events Calendar to see where we are planning our next event at.
Organizers Sara Wise and Tish Holloway are looking forward to tapping the willing creativity
and experience of local expats for assistance in organizing these and other social opportunities for the group.
