Calling All US Retirees Living in Vallarta
email this pageprint this pageemail usLaura Gelezunas - PVNN


Take part in the 'Cultural Adaptation and Quality of Life of American Retirees Living in Mexico' survey at Daiquiri Dick's on Thursday, July 9 at 11 am.
I was recently contacted by a professor at the University of Texas at San Antonio, who is conducting a survey about expats retiring in Mexico.

Here's part of the introduction letter:

Dear Participant,

The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) is conducting a survey on "Cultural Adaptation and Quality of Life of American Retirees Living in Mexico and the Philippines." We are collecting data from U.S. born or naturalized citizens who are 55 years and above and living in Mexico for at least 6 months.

The purpose of this survey is to determine why U.S. retirees decide to move to another country and how well they adjust to a new culture. The study is conducted by Professors Viviana Rojas and Thankam Sunil from The University of Texas at San Antonio, U.S.A. Your answers will contribute to a better understanding of the dynamics of U.S. emigration outside the United States and the level of satisfaction experienced by the retirees living at international locations.


I offered to help them get a group together in Puerto Vallarta. This will help them and me, as well, because I am starting a new series of video stories, "Boomers in the Bay," and this would be a great time to get some interviews.

We are meeting on Thursday, July 9 at 11 am at Daiquiri Dick's on the patio. They say the survery takes around 30-40 minutes to complete.

If you could join us, that be would fantastic! RSVP to videodivaproductions(at)yahoo.com so I will have some idea as to the number of people taking part in this. Hey, it's a great way to see old friends again, and maybe make new ones. Let's show some community spirit!
