Expats in Paradise: Life in Puerto Vallarta brings a fresh new look at the daily lives of a disparate group of expats from America, Canada, Argentina, France, England and even the Czech Republic, reflecting the cosmopolitan and international personality of Puerto Vallarta. The unique and personal experiences of these expats will provide readers with the facts, feelings and observations necessary to help them decide if they want to make Puerto Vallarta their place in the sun. Importantly, cost of living information specific to living in Puerto Vallarta is included in the first chapter of this book.

Robert Nelson wrote his first love letter to this Mexican tropical paradise in 2008. Boomers in Paradise: Living in Puerto Vallarta captured the everyday lives of 14 American and Canadian Baby Boomers, providing those who dream about living in the city on the Bay of Banderas with the insights and information needed to make Puerto Vallarta their new home.

After years of visiting Puerto Vallarta, Robert Nelson first moved to the city by the Bay of Banderas in 2002.
