Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - We all are dreamers and planners, but many of our dreams and plans never happen. Why? We are afraid to step outside of our comfort zone. So whether you are dreaming of visiting, moving, or retiring to Puerto Vallarta you need to take control and just do it in 2015.

If you have already moved to Vallarta and have not yet attended any of our events, you need to come to a Happy Hour and meet other ExPats who have taken that step.

Expats in Vallarta March Events

During the month of March, ExPats in Vallarta will be having two Happy Hour Gatherings at Langostinos from 5-7 pm. The first one will be on Tuesday, March 10th and the second on Tuesday the 24th. Langostinos is located on the beach just north of Los Muertos Pier. Come on down, relax, enjoy great food and mingle with other Expats. If you are a first timer, let us know when you come in the door and we will introduce you to other ExPats.
