When we moved our kids here I had no idea at least one would want to stay in Mexico to go to University. Does it make a difference? Of course not, it is just a surprise that I did not think of it.
It makes perfect sense of course; she is now more comfortable with the expectations and culture of Mexico than of Canada. So she is staying in Mexico, but moving far away from us to go to a Mexican University.
I am proud of her and know she will adapt well no matter where she is and what she decides to do. I think that is a gift moving to Mexico gave our kids – the ability to adapt.
Moving to Mexico with kids? Life is always interesting.
Enjoy the Adventure! Suzanne

Mexico - can be big changes
Mexico – living here can mean huge changes.
For many it is a change in language – it can be a little frustrating when you don’t understand someone. It can take time and patience to learn a new language.
Then there is the change in culture - people respond differently to situations, the work ethic can be different, the customs and behavior are different.
There is also the change of people as friends and family are left behind; you have to make new friends.
What will you do for work? What will you do with your spare time? Where will you live?
Change, change, change – for me it is all part of the adventure.
Is all the change worth it? It is absolutely worth it. At least in my eyes, it is absolutely worth it.
It is all part of the adventure of life.
Want to come and play?
Enjoy the Adventure! Suzanne

Mexico and the living is easy ...
Pull up a hammock and let’s chat. Would you like a cold drink?
Some people seem to think life has to be difficult – that we need to struggle from one thing to another and that anything we want to do must be hard. I don’t buy into that.
I think life can be easy. We just need to choose our focus. When we tell ourselves it will be easy it usually is. When we expect easy – it usually is. It is all in our thoughts.
Come to Mexico and concentrate on what you love to do and all the good things that surround you. Expect easy and you will create easy.
In fact Mexico has siestas built in. Siestas are easy. It isn’t their fault if we don’t follow custom.
Living anywhere can be easy or hard. It is always our choice. What do you choose to create?
I pick the easy life in Mexico.
Enjoy the Adventure! Suzanne

Mexico - Are you daring?
Are you still considering a possible move?
It is always our choice.
There are always many options – living in Mexico part time, holidaying for longer, trial moves, all out moves ….
Something to consider is that we can stay with the same old same old because it is safe – because we know it – because it is easy. Or we can be daring and make a change. We can start the process to live our dreams.
We can be living life to the fullest – whatever that means to us.
So how do you want to live life full out? Let me know if I can be of help.
Enjoy the Adventure! Suzanne

Moving to Mexico - steps to the goal
Are you considering moving to Mexico? What are my suggested steps?
One is to Visualize – close your eyes.
What is your paradise?
Where is it?
What does it look like?
What are you doing?
Who are you with?
What do you smell?
What do you taste?
What are you hearing?
What are you seeing?
Create the perfect vision and hold it. Got it? Get the details down so that it is easy to summon anytime – because that is your goal. You cannot get to your goal unless you are clear what it is. Your vision is what will help to keep you on the path to your dream - because it is your dream.
Now you can create it in reality – Now that you have the picture, now you can figure out how to make it happen. What are the easy steps? List your questions. Ask the people already here. Check out the books written by people living here (see my link below). What do you need to have in place to make the move?
The steps to our dreams can be quite simple really. By the way, is it still Mexico?
Enjoy the Adventure! Suzanne

Moving to Mexico - Are you thinking about it?
One of the biggest things that usually stands in the way of and stops us from living many of our dreams is FEAR.
What fear? Let’s see, perhaps it is thoughts like ….. Maybe I can’t, I have never done anything like this before, my neighbors haven’t done this – can I? What if I don’t like it? How can I make everything work? This is scary.….. But you still have this pull from within you to Mexico; you have this inner desire to move - what to do?
My suggestions are: Find the people, who have gone before you, they can be your advisors. Look for proof it can be done - my family did it. Research what you need to know – use the internet, the library, books, maps. . . . Ask the questions. There does not have to be many surprises or any FEAR on your road to Mexico.
Go ahead and do the research. There may be less to fear than you think.
Enjoy the Adventure! Suzanne

Playa del Carmen, Mexico is my paradise.
I love the palm trees and warm weather – I actually counted all the ways Mexico is my paradise last week.
It is not always perfect, but it is my paradise.
Where is your paradise? Do you have an idea? Is it a specific place or does it just embody certain characteristics?
My suggestion is don’t wait for your paradise. Find your paradise and enjoy it now.
Then you are living life to the fullest.
So where is your paradise? Maybe you are already experiencing it!
Enjoy the Adventure! Suzanne
