#WeLovePV Spotlight Series: Interview with Dez of My Deztination

Have you ever wondered what it was like to just sell all of your possessions and move to a foreign country and figure out how to make money?  Speak the language?  Embrace the culture?

We sat down with Dez of mydeztination.com Because…she’s been there, done that.  She has a terrific blog of her 2 years since she’s been a resident of Puerto Vallarta.  The photography is particularly stunning! Read all about PV activities, expat resources and volunteer projects.

We love her positive vibe and inspiring spirit.  Meet Desaray.
