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

Karen ColemanStatus: Single

Employed or Retired: Semi-retired

Where are you living now / where are you from: Living in Colorado from California.

Timeframe for a move: July 4th

Why Vallarta: I used to travel to Vallarta for about 13 years. It’s my favorite spot to relax. I would take a 3-4 day long weekend about every 3-4 months. The sailing is great!

How can ExPats in Vallarta assist you: Call me uninformed, I never considered retirement out of country. Should I bring my car? How do I find an affordable rental in Marina Vallarta? I still plan to work, I am a Master Haircutter, do I need a license? More as time goes on 🙂

    I am a retired CHP officer. Safer here and I would
    Never move back to the states. So much here to do and the
    People are soooooo friendly. About 50000 full timers here. Buy a car here as the process to bring one is very expensive and a pain. I did it. E-mail with your questions. We have lived here
    11 years full time.

      Thanks Dennis, very helpful! I was wavering on my car, It’s a classic (or soon to be) and hate to leave it. My cousin Rick said taxis work well. Coming from a CHP officer, that speaks volumes about safety, one of my concerns as a single woman.

      Hi Dave, I THINK I finally figured out this site 🙂 Question: Did you have your furniture shipped there? I am selling a lot but there are some things I have to keep. Moving companies won’t give me a quote until May, as they have to send an appraiser out.

      11 years there! You must love it! Colorado isn’t the same anymore, the violence bothers me and people seem so detached anymore. I hope I will meet you and your wife when I arrive in August.

      Thanks for any info you can offer! Karen~
