New members of the Mexico forum, introduce yourselves here - 2023

Hi, Gretchen here. Our family is considering a move to San Miguel de Allende for a sabbatical year. There are so many things we think we’d love about the town! Our biggest hurdle I think will be finding education for our kids. They will be 15/16 yrs old (10th grade) and 12/13 yrs old (7th grade), and we want to find schooling with instruction in English for them. Wondering if there are any other families who’ve gone through this process in SMA? We are potentially excited to consider this move!

Hello and welcome on board !

What kind of information do you need about Mexico ?

I suggest that you read the Living in Mexico guide for expats to gather as much information as possible and open a new topic on the Mexico forum to post your queries.

@Julien do I introduce myself here or under new topic?

@gretchcollins

it is a wonderful place with lots of nice people.  But i must warn you of something that has killed 6 Americans in Mx.  it’s called carbon minoxide poisoning.  my  daughter rented an expensive casa in SM.  For two weeks she was fine then the night of Oct 30 she told me she was cold and was going to turn on the fireplace in her bedroom.  I nor she knew anything about some of these not being properly vented and the rooms having no alerts about this dangerous gas.  it has been a nightmare dealing with the authorities to have her cremated and her belongings sent to me.  sorry to tell you this, but Americans must know about this.

@gretchcollins

@Julien I'm making plans to come to Cancun early March.

GRETCHEN BE SURE TO TAKE A carbon monoxide alert with you.  over 350 people have died worldwide because owners have not put them in rentals.  my 67 daughter died two months ago in San Miguel. 

@ericgarside

The Cancun forum will definitely be of interest to you : https://www.expat.com/forum/viewforum.php?id=443
