I have a friend in Tepoztlan, Morelos who is trying to locate an accountant, bookkeeper or just someone familiar with filing tax forms with the IRS. He prefers one in Cuernavaca but I am sure would be interested in talking to anyone within the ...

That is good to know. I am only 45 but want to move to Mexico to have a slower life due to health issues. I want to work less. I figured that there is an entire niche that is opened to provide tax services to US °µÍø½ûÇøs and digital nomads. The tax ... Read More

Water quality in Mexico by Itobys
I went to zihuatanejo this past June . The woman I stayed with was soaking all her fruits and vegetables in iodine solution to desinfect and told me not to use regular tap water for washing fruits or drinking because it was bad. Is there an area in ...

What do you do to make money to live in Mexico? by 420jon69
Just curious to see what everyone does to earn money that allows you to live in Mexico?

Good topic. I was thinking about doing accounting and taxes online, as long as I can keep my existing clients and be able to obtain new ones online but worry about security of the data and my equipment. I am a CPA. Also there could be some issues ... Read More


Is cohousing worth a look? by CasaColibri
Want to live somewhere where you have both the advantages of a fully-appointed communal house and your own smaller private house or cottage? Where you have your own community of neighbors to share resources, skills and knowledge? Where you know your ...

In my previous post I was asking about Tierra Alta community. I am not sure if this is totally me though. What I am looking for is security more or less. But at the same time I am not a typical ex-pat, I mean I will be since I am still in the US. I ... Read More

I am curious about El Tuito Tierra Alta community. Anyone knows anything? It looks beautiful. The only thing I worry about is wooden construction since Mexico is prone to termites. Any ideas or thoughts? Anyone checked it out? Read More

I personally think it is a great idea. Many details will have to be worked out but the concept is great. I am a single woman and I would love to live outside of city but I do not feel secure to do it on my own in Mexico. This kind of setting would ... Read More

Hi all, my family (me, hubs, 2 small kids) WERE planning on buying land in the high desert of Arizona, building a straw bale home, and starting a permaculture garden. Once that is set up nicely, we planned on travelling for a few months out of the ...
