About
I first came to Puerto Vallarta in 1980 and fell in love with the people and their culture. Puerto Vallarta was a small fishing village then and the biggest hotel was El Tropicana where I stayed for 10 days located on Playa Los Muertos. 3 years later I literally packed my bag and backpacked around Mexico, I explored the Yucatan peninsula, Chiapas, Oaxaca, and the coastline of the Pacific ocean.
I spent 1983 and 1984 living in a hammock and teaching English as a second language in Tapachula, Chiapas. I returned back to Canada knowing one day I was going to live here…
But I had to make a plan … ask me how I did it? A house and a condo later in Mexico!
Bragging rights!
