puerto rico: Ok it's not going to happen in the NEAR future but I want to start looking into moving to Puerto Rico. So I need to know where to start to do my research about housing, careers, locations to avoid, and general NON-TOURIST information. It's not about a vacation, but about living everyday life there. So is there a website people should go to who plan to actually move to PR and live and not just vacation?|||I highly suggest the Rincon/Aguadilla area. Breathtaking beaches and nice surfing. I also suggest San Juan, excellent nightlife and culture (however, crime here is much higher than in Rincon, which is a very safe area, so beware).|||Honestly, the best way to go about this is to actually go there for a week, talk to locals, drive around and SEE the areas to know where you'd like to rent. Trying to figure all that out on a website is tough because a lot of times things are different when you actually get there in person. Specifically for Puerto Rico I would go in person because the zoning laws there are different than the states. You will have residential and industrial buildings all mixed up and literally in San Juan, you'll see nice apartment complexes right next door to buildings that have been condemned. In terms of employment, you should check into the laws surrounding legal employment in Puerto Rico. You can go to the government's website to get that info.|||Why don't you go on a quick vacation and talk to the people who live there. I was there for a week and a half last spring and loved it and I wasn't in the glitzy tourist areas, I was traveling cheap, lots of driving to destinations. The only hostel in PR is in Rincon and its pretty nice. The people are friendly and it seems like a nice area to live if you pick a good spot, (the nights were a little loud). Traveling in the southwest area of the island was a lot of open country, Cabo Rojo, Guanica, all nice places. Paradores are also cheap places to stay, its like a dorm style bed and breakfast. www.gotoparadores.com I stayed at Paradore Caribbean Paradise and ended up having dinner with one of the owners who splits her time between NYC and PR, she was very friendly and told me a lot about the country. Thats how everyone I spoke with was, especially at the places I was staying. Go down for 4-5 days and explore.|||i moved here a little over a year ago, to finish school so i knew where i was going and what to expect cause i had been travelling here all my life... what are the things that are important to you? do you prefer a metropolitan atmosphere? are you straight country? do you want a mix of both? those are things to think about... you're best bet is to come down here on vaca and really explore... outside of the touristy areas and see what kind of atmosphere you'd like... not like me but if you are really interested post that you are and we can talk about it some more- i'll send you my e-mail or facebook... i can really identify with what you are going through and have a few friends down here who do as well.... good luck!|||we have a beach house place in naguabo,east of the island for rent in a good price. you can call the Office at 408-910-0544|||travel in an army car, don't get caught with drugs, learn Spanish, etc.
