Hello all,
My husband and I are both born in Puerto Rico but raised in the states. We have both always wanted to move back and would only do so with the right opportunities. We are both successful by American standards (professional, house, etc) and unless we could have a similar lifestyle then it defeats the purpose of why our parents left to begin with. We don't mind downsizing- we just want the island pace where things aren't so rushed and experiences vs things. We love the outdoors, and quite frankly, the island has much of that to offer...and free. Plus, you can't beat the food and smiling faces 😉
I am a registered nurse with 7 years of experience in an ER/trauma. I am also in nurse practitioner school and will finish, God-willing, in September. I am aware there are limited positions as such. My husband is an aircraft mechanic/quality assurance with the AirForce currently.
We are wondering what the transition is like for Americans moving there. How to look for living accommodations (Buy or rent first), school for kids (elementary) and daycare, commutes, common problems you didn't think of until you lived there, etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
