This guidebook answers the most important questions about moving to Puerto Rico and removes the mystery so you know what to expect when coming to paradise.
You will be taken on a journey, seeing life through the eyes of a family who actually made the move to Puerto Rico. Their adventures will guide you through surfing at world-class beaches, hiking in the breathtaking rainforest, eating at the locals' only spots, and relaxing under palm trees at a deserted beach.
In this book you will see all the details you need to make the move successful and fun.
You will get the following:
List of websites and directories show you how to save thousands and get locals pricing for rental house and cars
Top places to see and experience that most tourists will never know about because most guidebooks never get off the beaten path.
Real life examples of moving with young kids
Checklists how to prepare digitally for the move and what documents to have before you move.
Local tips to help you find the best restaurants and hot spots
How to buy a car and avoid the nightmare of paperwork, crowds, and frustration.
Living expenses and what to expect as a new resident with a language barrier, culture differences, and utility costs.
Island secrets to making new friends and the best places to meet people.
What to do before you leave and how to ship your car and belongings.
About the Author: Written by Spencer and Jennifer Shaw, who moved their family of five to a secluded beach in Isabela, Puerto Rico. They were adopted by the local community as family and surfed with the locals, ate coconuts they cut down from the trees, swung from branches in the rain forest, and snorkeled in crystal clear water.
Why this Book: When the Shaw family decided to move to Puerto Rico there was no complete guide. After learning the hard way to living on the island they wanted to share their experience with others to make it a more stress-free, enjoyable moving process.
