About

I’m Douglas Cullen, a resident of beautiful Puerto Vallarta since 2001.


I am also the former owner of the Coffee Cup Cafe in Puerto Vallarta.

My current project is VallartaBlog, The Ultimate Insider’s Guide to Puerto Vallarta.

UPDATE - VallartaBlog is now open for submissions. Become a contributing writer. Get all the information on our Write for VallartaBlog page.

VallartaBlog is a One Man Show

I visit every place, take every picture, and write every post you read on VallartaBlog with the exception of the yoga posts - which I know nothing about - so I got a little outside help. But, other than that VallartaBlog is all done by me.

Keep in mind that most of what I do for VallartaBlog is the same as running a magazine but without the salary. Please take a look at how you can support VallartaBlog is you find it useful.

VallartaBlog is Puerto Vallarta From the Inside

After, I stepped out of day-to-day operations at the Coffee Cup, I started VallartaBlog as a way to share a little bit of Puerto Vallarta from an insider’s point of view.

Generally, I post things you won’t find on other Puerto Vallarta related websites. I like to share out of the way places, good restaurants popular with locals, and some of the offbeat things that seem to happen on a daily basis here.

VallartaBlog is for Visitors and Residents

Visitors new to Puerto Vallarta will finds lots of interesting content. Residents and long term visitors discover things around the bay that they never knew about.

I almost always carry my camera with me and have taken some great photos which accompany the posts. Spend some time on my blog. Poke around. See if you find something interesting. You might try these: Good Eats, Offbeat, Cool Peeps.

VallartaBlog Receives No Advertising Money

I do not accept advertising or receive any compensation from any business in Puerto Vallarta. I tell you about things that I like strictly because I like them not because I’m paid to like them.
