Hello,
My name is Lisa and my husband Phillip and I are starting our planning to move to Peru early next year after his retirement. We are planning a visit this fall for 2-3 weeks to get acclimated a little and look around for a new home base.
Peru seems to be a good choice for us because there is SO MUCH to see and do. Also the cost of living will help us stretch our retirement budget.
I'm looking forward to exploring expat.com and communicating with the members about so many things about Peru.
Lisa

Hi all,

My GF is originally from Lima but her family left when she was 15 and she has not been back since…. 23 yrs ago.

We are looking to go to Trujillo in November for two weeks one reason is a vacation and the other is to scout the place out to find a place to live as we would like to move there next year.

Asking if anyone can recommend an accommodation for 2 adults and two children on a beach . Plus her aunt and grandmother from Lima will be joining us for about 5 of those days . Will need a place without a lot of stairs … would like to have a pool also for the kids . A kitchen if breakfast is not included

We won’t have a car so we would also like to have restaurants and that close by.

Any help would be appreciated

Many thanks

Dear Shawn & Lourdes,

Welcome to the Peru forums of

Expat.com ...

Much as I'd like to comment on your plans

to visit coastal Trujillo, North Northwest of

Lima, the Expat.com Home Office wants us

to keep this thread dedicated to

self-intro's only .. and not discussions.

So I've commented instead on our new

Peru Mailbag thread, which is clickable

from the Peru forum's welcome page.

Hello All,

My name is Lee and after spending several months in Peru and Chile I have settled in Lima. Recently finished my working career and currently in an AIRBNB until the end of December. Now looking for a long term rental. I have been lucky to meet a Peruvian and her family who have shown me many things around Lima and Peru I would have never seen or done.

I hope the community is well and hope to meet some of you one day. In San Isidro.

Lee
