Arlene Rubenstein

Status: Single

Employed or Retired: Semi-retired

Where are you living now / where are you from: We live in Seattle and Anna will go to the East Coast soon to attend college.

Timeframe for a move: I’m hoping to establish a great place to spend 4-5 months each year in PV or somewhere between PV and S.Baha. I would love a traveling companion to explore with me this coming Spring so that by next November a choice will be made!

Where else are you considering: South Baha, Sayulita, Bucerias

Why Vallarta: I was there two years ago and love it! Lots of things to do. We love to snorkle, swim, boat. I want to learn horseback riding and bone up on my terrible Spanish! The water is wonderful and I can’t stay out of it once I’m in. I also love to dance and the Malecon was such fun for us.

How can ExPats in Vallarta assist you: Establishing a community is of concern since PV is large. I have lots of questions and hope that there is someone out there who can help me. I will also be on a slim retirement savings so finding a share (or the upstairs of one’s home) is a possibility for me. I’m also an avid reader online and can look for assistance there as well. Although a real human being is much nice to talk to!
