Anything to share about Zihua? by Bound4bvi
HI......not sure if this is the correct thread ....but new to expat. Moving to Zihuatanejo in August. I see lots about the usual suspect destinations but nothing on Zihua....anyone have any comments or suggestions about Z? Thanks Allen
Carol, your info on Zihua was outstanding. But I have to query you on cartel shakedowns on the businesses there. Is it common? I would think you would hear about it if you've spent so much time there. Do you own property there? If so, has ... Read More
Moving in a U-Haul from U.S. to San Miguel. Safe or crazy? by KforKansas
Hi there -- I'm new to the forum and new to the idea of retiring to Mexico. However, I have friends who have done so and am convinced it might be exactly what I'm looking for. They live in San Miguel and love the community and the cost of living. ...
David, this post has really nothing to do with San Miguel. Its about the safety of transporting valuable goods across long distances in Mexico, particularly Northern Mexico and is applicable to anyone moving to Mexico from the US. On the Pacific ... Read More
does anyone have experiences to share about living on a ship by travellight
This is a new look at an old topic that might still be of interest. If you live on a ship what have been your costs to do so. How do you get back and forth to land? What regulations have you encountered? How do you meet others? What risks have ...
You might want to reword your title. I think you mean living on a boat or yacht. A ship is like a freighter and nobody lives on those unless you're working on it. Well, there are people that live on cruise ships but they have money to burn. ... Read More
is it true ? too much robberies ? by moreto62
posted by cathy Dupree 2 months ago I live in Ajijic which is beautiful but want to give another slant on living in Mexico. I am leaving after 5 years because my partner died and the mess that was left with no will was magnified by the corrupt ...
I'd like to know if Cathy was determined to leave before her husband died. A personal tragedy can colour our views on things tremendously, it can make us emotionally less stable, it can make us more careless when handling things and on and on. ... Read More

Guadalajara is one of my favourite large cities ever. Such a wonderful balance of big city amenities without the "edge" of Mexico City and with a fraction of the pollution, at least when I was there several years ago. And what a market ... Read More

travellight, what (approximate) area do you live in Mexico? I had almost given up on Mexico but reading your post gives me new optimism. For me its a worry about cartel activity and how they are shaking down so many businesses. Here in Canada I ... Read More
How does one stay long term in Myanmar? by Norman Z
I see countless websites talking about the 30 day E-Visa and Business Visa but nobody talks about staying long term or permanently. Do you have to leave the country and go to Thailand every month? Surely not. Do they want westerners to stay and ...
That was great. My quest continues. It might be up to the whim of the person you talk to at the embassy you get the visa from. So often that is the case. You ask, get rejected, politely bow out and return another day noting if personnel has ... Read More
