Hey there I want to move to Culebra but I am having a hard time finding employment oppourtunities. I am interested in teaching English or working in some sort work, like putting together a local english newspaper or something along the line like that. I will be gradauting from college next year and I really want to move to Culebra. I have family in Cabo Rojo and Ponce and Carolina. So I am familiar with Puerto Rico. Anyone interested putting up a college grad while I look for work? I also want to bring theater to Culebra.

Any suggestions email me at Arianamatos@hotmail.com

Thanks!

Ariana Matos

I thought Culebra was theater!

(advice: come here and check out what is going on already, go to the school and ask about employment, etc. etc.)

MJ: what rules other than the golden rule? that and that men must wear shirts in town... (not that I wouldn't anyway)

although I do agree it is best to ease into a new place and understand (wherever) what the local concerns are.

I prefer to think of Culebra as un-planned cabaret or improv rather than theater.

Agenda/planner types should consider somewhere else.

but play it by ear/off the cuff types should do ok.

Richard, I tried about ten times to answer that and erased all of them. I wasn't talking about real rules - in fact, it was a theft of the Tourism Board's slogan for Florida for a few years. I can't explain what I meant (well I could but Carlos would be laughing so hard I'd never hear the end of it), sorry!

I'm staying dry, but Culebra isn't. As far as I can tell, beyond everyone finding out any and every leak in their house or boat, we'll fine. But there have been deaths on the big island due to mudslides - this is a very serious system. Also, the bays are full of mud...in part due to very bad building/clearing practices that we are trying to amend.
It is so easy to come here and say, oh it's so beautiful, I have the money, let's build here! And then not want to spend the money to protect what was the original reason to come here. Clear cutting without protective barriers in the building stages are extremely damaging to our fragile ecology...and this costs money people often don't want to pay or don't care about even addressing. This is, in my opinion, a criminal point of view.
Every rain event, any storm, shows the bays full of mud, damaging the coral, the fish, the ecological structure that makes Culebra unique. It is the same as if after eating a meal or buying groceries, you just throw it all in the canal by the bridge (which happens often, by the way). Everything people swear they love suffers while they say how pretty it is...right how.
And by the way, if you care about this at all and are a part of this community? Get with Coralations, meet with Benjiman, talk to Jorge or Pan...they can help YOU help Culebra stay the place you met and loved.
Oh...sorry Ruth! You just asked if I'm staying dry. I'm fine, thanks, mi amiga!

Oh, and while I'm on a bit of a rampage...there IS an english language paper here, the Culebra Calender. Do you know about it, or do you want to replace it??
And what does "bring theater to Culebra" mean, really? I'd like to understand that. Does that mean working with the schools, the children, the adults to see what is already going on before you bring something here that you assume we don't have? And if we don't have what you mean...that you will invest the time and the heart to find out what is going on?
Ok. THAT is what I meant by saying the rules are different here.
Maybe I got a little cabin fever going in this rainy time...but it all became clear again. Yea!

Thanks as always MJ for your insights and I'm glad you're fine/dry.

In Me we were also with rain & wind 50 degree temps yesterday - the bays here are also probably full of "runoff' as ultimately water goes via stream, river to the sea ...here also dragging all the herbacides with it. I have a new neighbor across the street who has 2 - 5'x6' lawns - and he puts the roundup to it frequently. As for the beloved ME lobsta, y'all love it, but one friend of mine who was undergoing several medical treatments for metals contamination, had a huge lead level lab. test following consumption of lobsta..it's a bottom feeder y'know.

I like what you say about how/what folks from away bring to a new (for them ) community; this seems to happen everywhere by folks looking to change their life and be helpful where they land. Wherever you go, there you are.
