Lobster feast in Mexico

Mmm, it is lobster season in Mexico! Is it lobster season elsewhere? I have no idea, but since I live in Mexico, I make it my business to know that it is currently lobster and mango season here. You could survive on this information right? I certainly could.

Our friend Lisa in Cancun made the obvious mistake of posting a picture on her Facebook page of her holding a magnificent platter of lobster. While everyone else posted their drools, I simply picked up the phone to get the whole scoop on how my husband and I could get in on a feast like that. You see she and her husband, Jesus have a dive company and I knew they would know the right people.

Well it turned out that they invited us to visit them in Cancun on Sunday and we went to this wonderful find of a restaurant (don’t ask which one as I am currently sworn to secrecy – but if you come we could take you there – although we might have to blindfold you).

I am feeling very satisfied and grateful - Living in Mexico is pretty terrific.

Enjoy the Adventure! Suzanne

Learn Spanish for Mexico

Lately I have been researching and writing on ways you can earn money to live in Mexico. Now I have found another key piece of the puzzle for visiting or living in Mexico and I am so excited!

This is what they say: Who Wants to Learn to Speak Spanish Confidently and Naturally in Less Than 8 Weeks?? ... AND take all the frustration, difficulty and headache out of YOUR practice time with this EXPLOSIVE interactive 'learn Spanish' package! Learn Spanish like a rocket!

The entire learn Spanish course is available for instant download for $99.95 or you can have a hard copy delivered to you but it costs more. All the details are on the link page including a no cost 6 day trial offer.

I confess that my husband and I are still not as proficient in our Spanish as we would like to be so I am ordering this too. We can learn together and then talk in Spanish over margaritas or limonadas. Sounds good doesn’t it?

Hoping this is one more step toward living your dream.

Enjoy the Adventure! Suzanne

Punta Allen, Sian Ka'an Reserve, Mexico

Punta Allen is a laid back little fishing village located in the Sian Ka’an Reserve in Quintana Roo, Mexico. It awaits you at the end of a very long, somewhat rough dirt road. It is about an hour and a half drive through the jungle from the beach resorts of Tulum. I know this because my husband and I decided to go exploring on Sunday. It was so worth the drive!

I posted all the glorious pictures on my Facebook page for ‘Only in Mexico’.

Now remember this is a very small town. The roads are made from sand. There is no major grocery store and certainly no Sam’s Club or Starbucks. The name of the game in Punta Allen is fishing, eating seafood and other delights at any of the numerous tiny restaurants in town (many right on the beach), and relaxing in a hammock perhaps to read a good book.


We found the fishing co op with the day’s catch of lobsters which prompted my husband to crave a lobster tail. So we headed to a beachside restaurant called the Bone Fish. This picture was taken from our table. And the lobster tail was delectable!

Punta Allen reminded us very much of a little fishing village we used to enjoy visiting not too far from Puerto Vallarta called Chacala. It’s the type of place you could go to just get away from it all. No fancy resorts just little cabaƱas on the beach.

It was a great day trip and would make for an enjoyable overnighter I am sure too. Hmm, when is our next company coming?
Enjoy the Adventure! Suzanne

My beautiful green iguana

I just had to share with you another pleasure of living in Mexico.

We have beautiful iguanas that make their homes in our yard.

This one lounged by the pool as I worked at my desk a few days ago. He visited again yesterday by coming across the grass as I was hanging laundry. He drank from the pool and then headed on to another area of the yard.

Enjoy the Adventure! Suzanne

How to make money to live in Mexico

Thanks to my websites, my eBook and this blog, I am constantly contacted by people who want to live in Mexico. I can answer most of their questions but the stumper is – what can they do to earn money in Mexico?

For a foreigner to have the ability to work in Mexico, it is a complicated process. Understandably the Mexicans need to protect their own citizens. To be able to officially work in Mexico, a foreigner needs an FM3 (work permit) from Mexican immigration to be issued. To receive this they usually need to be sponsored by an employer who can prove that they can do work a Mexican cannot. Another option is to incorporate your own company which also requires special permissions, money and time.

When anyone asks me about - how they can work or earn a living in Mexico, I have always suggested trying to find a business that you can do online. It does not take a job from a Mexican and then you don’t have to go through all the Mexican governments’ red tape. Well you might say – that’s advice that makes sense but where would I start?

I am very excited to share with you an eBook I recently found with 20 different ways to earn money online. I bought the book myself because I wanted to know if it could help some of you with the desire to live in Mexico but not knowing the way to earn a living here. I think that the eBook provides great ideas. It is 20 different people sharing the ways they earn money online so you have lots of options and real life experience.

Here is the link. I hope you find it useful and that with its help you find your way to move here soon. At the very least, it gives you more options.

Enjoy the Adventure! Suzanne
