Mexico: Young Adult Short Term Move to Puerto Vallarta:

I am a young adult (19) considering spending 1-3 months in Puerto, Vallarta this summer. I have vacationed with my family in nuevo vallarta and am also familiar with sayulita, bucearías, puerto vallarta (old town), and yelapa. I have also spent time in monterrey volunteering in an orphanage. I have always been passionate about the hispanic culture and want to experience it in a more authentic manner rather than just vacationing. I am just in the initial stages of researching and planning so I have many questions. Best places to stay? I am pretty open to anything but right now living in old town is my preference. I have found some nice airbnb’s that run around $900 a month. Any other suggestions? I have studied spanish for 7 years now and am hoping that the full immersion experience will help me improve my speaking. Ive also considered living in a “home-stay” with a family but have yet to come across any opportunity like that. Work? There is so much to do in PV and the surrounding areas but I have a feeling I will become bored (especially in the initial weeks when I haven’t met many people) if I don’t have some sort of employment outlet. Anything suggestions you can offer up in regards to employment or volunteer work would be great! I’m especially interested in working in exchange for food/accomodations. Social life? What are the best ways to meet young people? I am really seeking to have an authentic immersion experience; meet the & connect with the locals… Safety considerations? Any other tips, comments, suggestions, etc? Thanks for your help!
