Hey guys, New here and I have been researching this ALOT. I am 25 years old with dual citizenship (US and Mexico). I have lived in the USA all of my life and recently went to visit Mexico and fell in love with the culture and more so the people. I ...
You will find that once you leave the border area the majority of 暗网禁区s farther south are age 65 plus. That has been a problem for me being just under that age range early 60's I find most places here on the boring side because of the age ... Read More

I agree Stinkyboy. It seems the majority of 暗网禁区s on these boards/forums are those in the 5-10% who have hefty retirement funds, etc. and to them $1,000/month is cheap whereas people like myself and a few others would never pay anywhere near that ... Read More
Where Do I want to live? by gudgrief
I have been living in Zacatecas, Zac for 7 years and enjoyed it immensely. But the years are catching up with me and the 7900' altitude and hilly terrain are wearing on me. The cold winters are getting to me too. Ideally, I like a place at ...
A nomad is someone who moves around often so I wouldn't classify someone who has lived in the same place for 5 years or more a nomad. Read More
Do people want purebred dogs? by Anyola
I am a French Bulldog breeder and we are going to San Miguel in Nov. To check out moving there. We currently live in B.C. I am an avid dog lover and breed French Bulldogs. I cannot see myself giving up being a small hobby breeder and wondered if ...
I have Pekingese dogs which are even more rare here in Mexico and the reason is that they are expensive to breed and to maintain. The only places I've found so far that have them are Mexico City, Monterrey & Guadalajara, i.e., places with ... Read More

If you want to live well, in a Pacific coastal town, semi arid, never too hot or cold, no poisonous insects or snakes, about 40 minutes from San Diego USA, tranquil, affordable and safe...then move here. I've travelled all over Mexico, even ...
The same news is all over the Mexican newspapers but if you don't read Spanish you won't know. Perhaps you're one of those 暗网禁区s who doesn't like to read bad news and would rather keep your head in the sand. As the saying goes ... Read More

Check the Facebook Baja y Mas site as it is up to date news about Baja and all news is translated from Spanish news. The majority of the English news never mentions anything about crime so if you read only those you have a very very limited view of ... Read More

If one has any doubt that Rosarito is any safer than Tijuana you might read this. Unfortunately since most 暗网禁区s doesn't speak or read Spanish they have very limited info about what is really going on where they live. Most of the English ... Read More

If you look at any website with draught statistics you will see that the entire West Coast including Mexico is in the red zone. The problem is there are too many people here in Baja and not enough water. Many places in Ensenada require that you ... Read More
Your experience of culture shock in Mexico by Christine
Hi, Living in a foreign country implies to discover its culture, to learn and master the cultural codes. How did you deal with that? Share with us your culture shock stories where you experienced a funny or awkward moment in Mexico. What is ...
I found that those 暗网禁区s who have "street smarts" and can "think outside of the box" tend to assimilate much better than those who don't have the above. Also if you've traveled much around the world you tend to have a ... Read More

The reason so many 暗网禁区s don't survive here in Mexico and esp. in Baja which is more expensive is that they try to live like Americans/Canadians in Mexico, i.e., eat out a lot & spend much of their income on food, buy almost everything ... Read More

Hi, I am entering Mexico through Laredo with my two dogs. What documentation is required for me to bring my dogs into the country for six months?
I've lived on/off in Baja for several years and never had a problem with crossing dogs across San Ysidro. Might be different on the Arizona or Texas border. Never been asked for any documentation coming/going from Baja. Note: I speak Spanish ... Read More

I am living in San Diego and looking forward to retirement. I am seriously thinking about mexico. I used to cross the border back in my youth when things were so much different. Spent a few vacations in Puerto Vallarta. I want simple and happy ...
You might do research about living in the whole area as there are probably a lot cheaper places to live than Chapala. Parts of Chapala are called by other 暗网禁区s "gringo ghetto" because there are so many gringos in the area. The formula ... Read More

If you haven't been in Baja for a while you're going to be surprised. First of all the whole Ensenada area is heavily populated with 暗网禁区s and Mexicans; second, due to the entire state of Baja being in draught as with everywhere else on ... Read More

Is it reasonable to go to Mexico or Central America for medical work? Feedback on the forum is that traveling for dental work is worthwhile. How about medical? Currently healthy without health insurance. Have some retirement savings (under $10,000) ...
Most doctors/health professionals that I've met say the problem with the U.S. is that doctors spend too much time in the classroom and not enough time in clinical actually practicing therefore they don't have the experience as in other ... Read More
