I have lived in Aguadilla and now live in nearby Isabela. We are a military family and are very familiar with Aguadilla and what it is to offer. Everyone's accounts are accurate and I am not sure what more I can add, but if you have any more ... Read More

New 九色视频 Experiences by GreggK
Are there any people out there who have moved to Puerto Rico within the last year or two that could relate their stories? Tell us of your hopes and expectations before going and how things actually went after you made the move. Thanks. Gregg
I moved here about a year and half ago. Before moving I had never visited the island, but was very excited. My husband is military and when we married he was already slated to come here, so I had no choice in moving. Anyway, in my mind I was ... Read More
Thinking About Starting Anew In Puerto Rico, Do I Or Don't I. by KristinnnH
It has always been a dream of mine to run off to an island & just start fresh. Once school is done for me I plan on moving to a tropical destination for maybe a year, to ground myself & to gain a better perspective on life. Would Puerto Rico be the ...
That was always a dream of mine too. Then I got married and my husband's job brought us here. Although I love it here, I don't think I would pick this place over all the other islands. Do you plan on working during this year? It can be difficult to ... Read More

Healthcare on the island by PRwannabes
We are seriously considering moving to PR to live out retirement. Our major area of concern is the level of specialty healthcare available. What is the general impression of the insurance availability and the level of care available in the major ...
I hope that other members can help also, but this has been my limited experience with the medical care here.... First let me say, that my husband is active duty military, so we have great insurance and a doc on base that we see for routine care. ... Read More
Just curious about the expat scene in Rincon by mrgood100
I am guessing that most gringos in Rincon are snowbirds but maybe someone can shed some light regarding how many there are who have sold everything they owned in the States and moved there for good. Also, maybe someone can give me an idea of what ...
MIstyrx, I know that there is the Wyndham Rio Mar and El Conquistador is a Wyndham property, but neither of those are in Rincon. Both are on the other side of the island. I was thinking you meant in Rincon. If you are looking into San Juan, yes ... Read More
Definitely want to move to PR by PeachSonria
Hi, I am sure I want to move to PR...but am having little luck finding a federal job. I have a federal job now. I would consider a reduced income..how easy is it to get a job with the hotels on the island...should I just email those in the area I ...
Totally agree with all the other members' comments. There are opportunities for those willing to start their own business, although I have heard that any necessary paperwork from the government can take months, but it could be worth it if you want ... Read More

Hi! I am from Atlanta also. Do you speak Spanish? Jobs are pretty hard to come by here, especially if you are not bi-lingual. Not sure about hotels, but Federal jobs are very competitive, especially since Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens as well and ... Read More

Do we want to move to Puerto Rico? by matmor
My husband has the chance to transfer in his job to PR, specifically to Mayaguez. We are are trying to decide if we want to put in for the transfer. I like the idea of adventure and trying a new place for several years, but we have 3 children, 5 ...
A few more thoughts....there a few excellent private schools on the island, if you can afford them, that are superior to the public schools. The majority of the curriculum is taught in English, but the teachers are 99% bilingual and the students ... Read More

I have lived here for a year and a half and am a non-working spouse. My husband is in the military and though we have no kids, most of the other spouses I know do. We are in a completely different situation, us being military, but many people from ... Read More

I don't live in Rincon, but go there quite often. I live about 45 minutes away. I know many people are in the service industry. You meet a lot of waiters, bartenders, etc. Many work on boats, are dive instructors, surf instructors, etc. A great deal ... Read More
