Letter from the Editor
Dear Readers,
Welcome to PV Everything, your ultimate online hub for everything Puerto Vallarta.
With great excitement and optimism, I introduce this new travel and culture media platform inspired by the festive city we love and the thriving community that makes it so special. After visiting Puerto Vallarta for over 25 years and calling it home for the past year, I’ve witnessed firsthand this city’s undeniable draw on visitors. Like so many of you, I was captivated by its energy back in 1999—the magic of the sunsets, the warmth of its people, and the irresistible vibes of life by the bay. (And, the food of course!)
Puerto Vallarta is evolving, and as it continues to grow, so does the need for a comprehensive resource that connects, educates, and celebrates everyone who calls it home, whether for a week or a lifetime. That’s where PV Everything comes in.
Building this platform is a privilege. I’m honored to partner with two of Vallarta’s most respected influencers, Tricia Lyman, our Director of Communications, and Mike Lyman, our Chief Financial Officer. Over the past decade, they’ve nurtured the largest private Facebook community in Mexico: Puerto Vallarta: Everything You Need or Want to Know, with over 150,000+ engaged members. Tricia has poured her heart into moderating this group with dedication, compassion, and a remarkable ability to create connections. Together, we aim to expand on this legacy by offering even more opportunities to share stories, resources, and recommendations that celebrate what makes Puerto Vallarta extraordinary.
The essence of PV Everything is storytelling—by the community, for the community. Much like the Facebook group’s lively comment threads, where members eagerly share advice and experiences, our platform will capture that same spirit. With the chaos and uncertainty in the world around us, now more than ever, it’s vital to focus on building the community we want to live in—one that lifts up its people and preserves the beauty and culture that make this city shine.
We’ve also heard your frustrations about finding reliable information online. Whether you’re a visitor trying to navigate a new city or a business owner struggling to be seen, we’re here to help. Our highly searchable directory will serve as a one-stop shop for all things Vallarta, making it easier than ever to connect with the services, businesses, and experiences you’re looking for. From promoting small mom-and-pop businesses to providing advertising solutions for the entrepreneurial dreamers among us, PV Everything is designed to create opportunities for everyone in our community.
I’m thrilled to introduce my husband, Nick Caballero, as our Director of Operations. Nick brings a wealth of expertise in sales and operations, having owned and managed multiple companies over the years. His experience and leadership will ensure that PV Everything operates smoothly and serves the needs of our readers, businesses, and community members with excellence.
Additionally, I’m excited to have the immensely talented Lisa Zaccaria as our Web Designer. Lisa embodies the roles of visionary artist and strategic brand/marketing creative, with over 20 years of experience in Branding, Graphic Design, Video Editing, and Web Design. Originally from Italy, where she earned her BFA in Painting in Venice, Lisa later launched her design firm in New York City while earning her MBA in Marketing—all while raising her son. Her unique blend of artistry and strategic thinking will dazzle and engage readers as she brings our vision for PV Everything to life in innovative and exciting ways.
We invite you to join us on this journey. Pitch a story, share your insights, and help newcomers navigate life in this incredible city by embracing its traditions, culture, and quirks. Puerto Vallarta isn’t meant to be a replica of where we came from—it’s a place where unique individuals flourish, where creativity thrives, and where kindness connects us all.
Thank you for being part of this incredible community. Together, we can preserve and protect what makes Puerto Vallarta so special while ensuring it continues to grow as a hub for connection, creativity, and opportunity.
Welcome to www.pveverything.com —your new home for all things Vallarta.
With gratitude and excitement,
Editor-in-Chief, PV Everything
