SUN Shine

Employed or Retired: Retired

Where did you live previously? San Francisco, CA

When did you move to Vallarta? Dec 25, 2001

What part of town do you live in? Marina

Why did you decide to move to Vallarta? Time to kick back and enjoy life! Beach, expats, local people, spirituality, no hurricanes, got twice the house for half the money, safe and secure. Someone said” God lives here!”  I think maybe they are right.

What other places did you consider? Cancun, Playa del Carmen, La Jolla, CA, Thiland, Panama, Phillippines, Florida, Baja California

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?
