- Puerto Vallarta · 7 years
A Californian who arrived from Portland Oregon to Puerto Vallarta solo with five suitcases and one dog, Kelly built a new life from the ground up. Over the years, she created and later sold a beloved English-language bookstore and café, built a strong local community, and made Puerto Vallarta her home.
With years of experience living, working, and building a business in Mexico, Kelly understands both the practical and emotional sides of starting over in a new country. She can help newcomers better understand daily life in Puerto Vallarta, including local communities, expat areas, healthcare, banking, real estate, business life, and what it really takes to settle in.
Now, Kelly shares her first-hand knowledge with people who are exploring a move to Mexico and want honest, real-life guidance from someone who has truly lived the experience.

Why book with us
Why book a call with our Mexico guides?
Carefully Vetted
Every guide on Retire Abroad Hub has been carefully vetted. We verify lived experience, assess communication skills, and ensure they can provide honest, balanced perspectives — not sales pitches.
Real Lived Experience
These aren't consultants reading from a script. Kelly and Alejandra have personally gone through the visa process, navigated bureaucracy, and built actual lives in Mexico. They know what works and what doesn't.
Pick Their Brain
This is your chance to ask the questions you can't find answers to online. What does banking really look like? Which neighborhoods should you avoid? How hard is the bureaucracy? What do people get wrong? Ask anything.
Honest & Unbiased
No commissions. No referral deals. No real estate upsells. Our guides are paid for their time and knowledge — that's it. You get the truth, including what's difficult, frustrating, or not ideal about living in Mexico.
What people are saying
Real client conversations
“Kelly was absolutely fantastic. She answered every question I had about the cost of living, neighborhoods, and what daily life really looks like. I feel so much more confident about my move now.”
“Alejandra’s perspective as someone who lived in Canada and came back to Mexico was invaluable. She understood exactly what I was going through and gave me practical advice about the move.”
“Finally, someone who gets it. No sales pitch, just honest talk about what to expect in Mexico. The call was worth every penny. Highly recommend”.
Important: These are informal, experience-based conversations. Our guides are not lawyers, licensed immigration consultants, financial advisors, or tax professionals. For formal applications and professional advice, consult licensed experts.
