Hello, my name is Nicholas. My peruvian wife and I are going to Peru, Lima San Isidro, to visit the family but also think about staying there, because the economy here in the US (I live in Miami Florida) continues to deteriorate. Thanks to her I have friends there but I would like to make more friends with all expats and can talk about jobs in Lima Peru. I'm Dutch, traveled around the Americas, lived also in Surinam, Brazil and I really do not look forward to go back to Europe...lol.

remember, there are different kinds of expats. if you're thinking that visiting san isidro is visiting peru, then you might as well stay in miami, because san isidro is pretty darn close, though sometimes more upscale than southern florida (a little like "los gatos" california). On the other hand, if you really like adventure, come visit Jicamarca-Huarochiri on the outskirts of Lima, where the telephone poles end and the only way to get water is via weekly truck.

I do also live in Miami and have vidited San Isidro many times. I find no similarity between San Isidro and Miami. You do not have to forego lifestyle to prove anything to anyone. My advice is to visit Peru and the areas you are thinking of and then decide. I dont have to live in a beehive to try honey.

I moved to Miami about 20 years ago from the England. I do like Miami fell in love with Peru. I too do not speak Spanish except for few words and phrases. I intend to go to school to learn Spanish. I am not planning to work there.

Nick, while San isidro is a beautiful area, there are not many expats there. You will find expats in Miraflores and to a lesser extent San Miguel,Magdelena,La Molina,Barranco. Expatperu.com may be a helpful site to meet expats and countrymen prior to your arrival.

Alpineprince, Thank you for the note. For all the times I have been to Lima, I have only been to Magdelena once and it looked beautiful. I have a friend who lives there now and considering the area also. I was looking at the area and also considering it as a possibility.
