Excellent ambassador for Mexico and Puerto Vallarta. Also, an excellent ambassador for the US and expat community. I think truly an amazing person.... from Mexican-American living in L.A. California...
I love that she has a "second act" going back to Law school in Spanish in Mexico and made a second career in a beautiful place like PV. Many people do not want to "retire"
Thanks for your interview... You are a beatifull lady...Wish you the best of luck in Mexico... Visit also South America if you can..It's nice there too.
Love your perspective and appreciate your balanced view of Mexico. I am a Mexican-American native of LA and have not had a chance to get to know Mexico. I am now very excited to get to know PV and perhaps purchase property for future retirement there due to yours and other ex-pats' views. Thanks!
Hello Becca, I am Luke Kost Harriet lead real estate agent, learning about Mexico real estate is interesting and a fun journey, more fun in seeing all the different types of homes and or condos that are available, there is soo much variety! I worked for Oregon Realty in USA and I must say it more fun to show property down here because of the variety and beauty of the area. We have a online survey you can fill out and I would be happy to send you some stuff to look at that might be of interest. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd_3WstdzAr7KqfwoXBQ7GkS3dc06ik7aY9NfRHUfEzFtW3MA/viewform
Very good info.but if you can't afford PV we try surrounding beautiful small towns like Rincon de guayabitos,San Pancho,Lo De Marcos,Zayulita,bucerias and so on.....gracias enjoy!!
Hi Maria, Great Video and info thank you. So my husband and I are looking to go in May to PV any chance we might be able to hook up with you to talk alittle more about PV, specifically moving there?
I am doing research on moving to PV with my wife. Where can I rent for a couple ow weeks to get started? We are retired and live in Miami. We are both bilingual.
Hi, Louise...you can start by checking out our Homes section (www.expatsinmexico.com/puerto-vallarta-homes/) at Expats In Mexico. We also profile Puerto Vallarta in our Cities section.
We are thinking of mo0ving down to Mexico as we are retired. The question that we are unable to find the answer to is: Will we have to play tax to the Mexico government on our USA retirement and Social Security income?
I want to live there 3 months of the year and in San Diego other times and perhaps gradually move there. I have a partner without I've now become a semi-caregiver, so moving permanently is not an option now. I've rented a hotel for week in January 2021 to sort of get my feet wet. Want to look at areas that are gay friendly of course. Any advice would certainly be appreciated.

Health care is excellent in many parts of Mexico. The National health insurance program (Seguro Poplar) is available but extremely difficult to navigate through. You would definitely want a secondary coverage.
I'm Mexican and I been living in Texas for the past 20 years I have 2 kids born in Texas ,an finding those videos from Americans moving to my country really surprise me because a lot a Mexicans like me that live in USA just don't considerate to move back they hate the idea to move back and I was thinking the same but since Trump is in charge here I don't feel the same in this country I actually feel scared to speak Spanish in my work I feel like people is going to start insulting me beeing racist so I'm considering to move back in my country I want to feel in love with my country again I don't feel welcome in USA anymore things are not the same anymore 😞
Silvia Gonzalez I completely understand. My immigrant husband and I move to Ajijic almost two years ago. We love it. Texas is just a hot mess thanks to Trump-GOP.
chivis v Don’t believe what you hear on the main stream media. Trump has done more to help this country than he’s given credit, but because he wasn’t a politician and a member of the club, so to speak, they try to discredit and give Trump negative press as often as possible. The problem isn’t immigrants, it’s illegal immigrate’s who break the laws. Americans moving into Mexico illegally and breaking Mexico’s laws, wouldn’t be tolerated by Mexican officials either. It’s also about respecting the immigrants who come here legally.
Many of us are ashamed of the way Trump is. He doesn't reflect the values of over half the country. Hopefully the next election will change all of this.
@@bajemo359 "Americans moving into Mexico illegally and breaking Mexico’s laws, wouldn’t be tolerated by Mexican officials either" Absolutely wrong. The lengths that Trump supporters will go to excuse his outright racism and lies is truly sad. www.excelsior.com.mx/nacional/2017/02/28/1149157
Hunt Ralph are u serious? PV is still a little Mexican town!! Full of locals!! full of real Mexican Restaurants, lots of taco stands in the streets ("Tacos al Pastor" in PV are the best!!!..and I know about Tacos! I'm Mexican!) Of course if u go to the beach there's a lot of tourists from everywhere (specially Mexicans from Guadalajara!) Americans mostly hang around Tourist spots but this little town is as Mexican as u can get!!...what is a "Gringo Gulch" is Cancun! even the prices there are in dollars! too expensive for us Mexicans! But PV is for everyone!! Specially for the people that like little town atmosphere! (I'm Mexican and live in Guadalajara! 😉) Cheers!

Extremely helpful

It sounds as though lawyers may have ethics, there???
What you guys think about resist trump.!!!
Sore losers.
Barb Molitor -Agree!! I'm Mexican (living in México!) and I love Trump!! Wish he was our President!! 😥
He is an embarrassment. Even his Senior cabinet members say he is mentally unfit to be POTUS.
He's doing a great job against the virus, isn't he ladies? Trump: "I love the poorly educated!"
I'll move in with her if she'd support me financially...but I'm not into getting rained on.
Puerto Vallarta is "Gringo Gulch", about as a real Mexican experience as a Carnaval cruise.

Yes PV is way more Mexican than Cancun for sure!! Well at least it was,it's been a long time since I've visited...
If only a Carnival Cruise were as Mexican as PV. The food would be so much better.
You go girl! What's an inspiration! I will look you up when I visit PV. Cheers!
Thanks Maria!
