My husband and I relocated to PR about 8 months ago. We moved here from Washington State. My husband is Puerto Rican and retired military. I thought I would enjoy retired life along with him, however I am going crazy not working! I do not speak fluent Spanish but do understand quite a bit. My husband is happy staying home however I am not. I thought I would NEVER say this but I am bored to death here! Looking for work and activities that do not require speaking fluent Spanish.

You can pickup a hobbie, donate your free time to a number of causes

Maybe if you're finding employment hard to come by you could do some volunteer work? I know I've seen opportunities helping the earthquake victims in the south and I believe there are even still opportunities for Maria recovery. If you're an animal lover, maybe a sato project?
