Expertise

I have lived in Puerto Vallarta for 17 years, full time, originally from the United States. I have a lot of great information on the area, and surrounding areas that I enjoy sharing with people planning their vacation to Puerto Vallarta. Unique and interesting facts and hints on the area. As well, I am the Patient and International Services Coordinator at a hospital here in Vallarta so I am happy to assist with healthcare questions.

Experience in the area

No great accomplishments, just that I have lived here, year round for many years!

What do you like about this subject?

I have chosen Puerto Vallarta to be my home. I love the area, the people, the flora and fauna. I enjoy sharing this knowledge with people, especially if they are arriving for the first time.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

To stay living in Puerto Vallarta.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Very few Non/Mexicans move here and stay year round, living and working as a local.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

Definitely not a choice for everyone.
