Taking the plunge and daring to move abroad is a real challenge, but when your move to Puerto Rico is marked by an unprecedented health, social and economic crisis, as we have been experiencing for just over a year, this change can be much more significant and demanding. If you moved to Puerto Rico shortly before or during the pandemic, we would like to know more about your experience.
When and under what circumstances did you move to Puerto Rico?
What impact did the restrictions have on your integration into the country?
Were you able to make new friends in your host country and get used to the new culture and environment?
Have you had the opportunity to discover the country or the region where you are staying despite that?
I actually moved to PR 2 weeks before hurricane Maria... so I have learned a lot. My husband and I own a house in Cabo Rojo, we have a business in Lajas and things are looking good.
After living in Puerto Rico for the pass 11 years I can say that anything called crisis in Puerto Rico has been overly exaggerated by the media. If it was not because of local government mismanagement of public funds and stupid senseless Covid related shutdowns things would be at leves much better that Singapore
I have been here for 7 yrs. I have had enough of the incompetent government mishandling every dama situation it touches.  This incompetence government handling this virus has set me to the end of my rope. We are moving. We have packing, sorting and selling everything. I cant imagine anywhere else being as bad as it is here. I will be relieved once we finally can put this part of the chapters of our lives behind us.
If you want to compare we can do that Total cases Taiwan 1,104 Pr 141,386 New cases Taiwan 14 Pr 1747 Total deaths Taiwan 12 Pr 2264 Active cases Taiwan 46 Pr137,584 Deaths per million Taiwan 0.5 Pr 2,264 Population Taiwan 22,851,964 Pr.      3,386,941 You see the problem? It's the mishandling of this pandemic in pr.  Both these places are islands And actually Taiwan is close to China, so they should have had more case the pr
As you said, only 6 states are doing better than PR. The handling of then pandemic as a whole in the U.S. was an epic failure and cases are on the rise again on the mainland so if you are trying to run from the pandemic failures, you will need to leave the United States.
As a person who has a home in Puerto Rico and New Jersey and goes to New York, you have no idea what you are talking about. You can’t compare living in NJ/NY and Puerto Rico both have good and bad. What kind of real estate person are you?
We are leaving the us. We have no control with arrivals, that's the first thing ti fix. 2nd the police need to dontheir job and arrest people. We have no real consequences or harsh punishments for these irresponsible peoples behavior. This will continue because the government here is completely incompetent and its never ending. Everything they touch goes to shit
