Living In Puerto Vallarta As A Gay Man. Is It Safe? Is It Affordable? And Other Insights!

You’ve probably heard about #puertovallarta.

It’s one of the most popular beach towns in Mexico not only with nationals but also with foreigners from all over the world. Being one of the most LGBTQ friendly cities in Mexico, Puerto Vallarta has some of the biggest gay pride festivals and a lot going on year round.

But what is it like to actually live here?

Stephen shares his experience moving to Mexico from Hawaii. What his experience is living in Puerto Vallarta as a gay man. He covers everything from how he makes friends even though he doesn’t like to party. How he gets around and tips for moving around without a car. How he found his rental. Where he gets his keto friendly snacks. And even how he lost 15 pounds simply by a walking more in Mexico.

He also shares what living in the romantic zone of puerto Vallarta is like and what amenities are around him

Thank you so much to everyone who reached out, we are all doing good after the earthquake on Monday September 19th.

What a scary experience!

On Monday September 19th, a 7.6 magnitude earthquake hit 90 km from city of Colima.

Colima is located about 386 km from Puerto Vallarta, so the magnitude of the earthquake in Vallarta was less but it sure felt scary!

The earthquake hit just minutes after many schools and businesses in Mexico finished with an earthquake drill! What a coincidence!

September 19 is a terrible day for earthquakes in Mexico history because there had been 2 major earthquake on this day before!

September 19, 1985 and Sept 19th 2017

We were lucky to experience a much lower magnitude earthquake but there is still a lot of damage to some buildings and a tsunami warning was lingering for 2 days.
