They Are THRIVING In Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Marc, Kathleen, and their two young children have always been an adventurous family. Having lived in Chile at one point, they are no strangers to living abroad. So, when they started looking at places where they could afford to live on their savings and investments to spend more time as a family, Puerto Vallarta kept coming up in their research.

They knew they wanted to live near a beach to spend more time outdoors because they always dreamt of living like their beloved Valparaiso, Chile. That’s how they found Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Their plans to move took about 5-6 weeks, and in November of 2022, they made the move. They sold almost everything they owned, packed whatever fit in their car, and drove from Toronto to Puerto Vallarta in days.

Today, Kathleen, Marc, and their two kids are blown away by their new Mexican lives. The kindness of the Mexican people and the rich culture of Mexico have captivated their hearts, and they spend more time as a family now than ever before. To say they LOVE Living in Puerto Vallarta is an understatement.
