 In Illinois, Member Profiles, Thinking of Moving to Vallarta, US, Where We are From

Status: Couple

Employed or Retired: Employed

Are you: Couple

Where are you living now / where are you from: Living in Mountain Home, Arkansas for last 3 years From Chicago, IL

Timeframe for a move: Fall of 2015.

Where else are you considering: Ecuador and Belize

Why Vallarta: I have been doing research for possible locations to make a move out of the US and Vallarta seems intriguing. We have been to Mexico twice and thought highly of the culture and friendliness of the Mexicans. It would also be very beneficial to find a strong expat community to ease the transition.

How can ExPats in Vallarta assist you: We would not be looking to buy so we would be interested in long term rental costs, public transportation access and fees, healthcare programs, and any other info that might be helpful for newbies to the area.
