PR Driver's License is valid for how many years? by princos
PR Driver's License is valid for how many years? I heard they are supposed to give you 6 years. Is it 6 full years, or rounded down? They gave me only 5 years and 8 days, from when I first received it in 2014, now it's expiring 2019. ...
New York also does the same with the expiration date being based off your birthday date not date of receipt. I got my dl in April and was given 5 years and 4 months. The thing is they do the expiration date based on your birthday and not when ... Read More

Unemployment is very high in Puerto Rico. To give those that don’t know a better idea, Puertoricans have been leaving to the states in high numbers to find work. Also, in most cases you must be bilingual (spanish/english) to have half a chance ... Read More
Is there Postmates in PR? by edenkaate
Can't find any info about it. Are there other food delivery services (ubereats) or is that just not a thing in PR? Thanks, Eden Kate
I’m from NYC where gas prices tend to usually be high accompanied with constant traffic jams and a ton of bad drivers. Personally, I see a lot of opportunity for a food delivery business (UberEats, PeaPod, etc.) here in PR catering to those ... Read More
Rincon? San Juan? Opinions? by Dizzyelf
Hello, We are planning on moving to PR in September. I’m having a hard time narrowing down possible cities to move. We are in love with the whole island. I thought maybe you guys could help. Spanish isn’t a problem as I’m fluent. ...
