She likes to take any chance she can take to be here.\u00a0 She visits approximately 4 or 5 times per year and by this time has become a Playa expert as she has watched this lovely beach town evolve and grow without ever sacrificing its charm.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Kristie usually spends a bigger chunk of time, of about a month, here during the summer since her son is free from school during that time.\u00a0 Throughout the year she takes smaller trips of about a week or so whenever her son gets a break from school! And when she is not here, she is always planning and looking forward to her next trip!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>So we wanted to know, <em>Why Playa<\/em>? <\/strong><br \/>\nIf you get the chance to take 4 or 5 vacations every year then why not change it up a little? This is an easy question for Kristie to answer.\u00a0 She simply loves Playa!\u00a0 We all know that when you love something you should stick with it.\u00a0 Kristie comes to Playa for a wide scale of reasons.\u00a0 The atmosphere, the beach, great food, the family friendly environment and also because of safety!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Some of her favorite things to do here are to go to the beach, lounge by the pool, take her son for a ride in the go karts or other fun kids activities, walk on the 5<sup>th<\/sup> Avenue, socialize with friends while enjoying nice dinners and wine!\u00a0 She also loves the fact that you can come here and still escape to other beautiful gems such as Tulum, Chichen-itza and many other paradise locations all within the Riviera Maya!\u00a0 This is all a part of the life in Playa!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Good Friends<\/strong><br \/>\nOver time Kristie has made good friendships with expats who live here year round and she looks forward to spending time with them each visit.\u00a0 Playa del Carmen is, in fact, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.topmexicorealestate.com\/playadelcarmen-real-estate\/\">home away from home<\/a> for Kristie and her son!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At this point in Kristie\u2019s life she is not prepared to live here full-time but knows that once here son is out of school, and she can retire, Playa is the place she wants to be!\u00a0 For now she will continue to escape to Playa for vacation and keeping dreaming that little dream of one day living here!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To hear what Kristie has to say please click on this link for her testimonial on You tube!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We love our town of Playa del Carmen and we want to get the word out that this is a great place to live, retire and vacation!\u00a0 What better way to do that than by letting you meet people who can give you the real scoop!\u00a0 Stay tuned for more testimonials for our Livin\u2019 Playa
