Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I read Bill the Geek ́s book and it got me all pumped up. My girlfriend read it too. We did our internet research and actually called some Americans that were already living in Puerto Vallarta. They had friends with a place for rent right on the ocean. We were doing web design in San Francisco and we were paying $2,200 amount for a 1 bedroom apartment downtown. With Bill the Geek ́s help, we found a 4 bedroom on the beach for $550.00 a month and we don ́t need a car. With the excellent high speed internet, now we are living our dream and actually saving lots of money every month." Dennis and Sandy, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico "Thank you Bill the Geek. Living in Guadalajara is the bomb. I was living in Chicago and it get really cold there. The cost of living was getting to be ridiculous and the winters were just depressing. I am an on line consultant so Bill the Geek was right. After reading his book and listening to the audio book too, I did my internet research and actually visited Guadalajara before I made my move. I could not believe how cheap it was to rent a very nice place and all my cost for everything went down about 70%. No more Snow. Good bye Chicago!" Eric Mason, Guadalajara, Mexico My wife ́s family thought we were crazy. They said if we moved to Mexico we would get killed because they had been listening to Donald Trump. They were so wrong. Bill the Geek was totally right. Mexican people are so warm, friendly and hard working. They work so much harder and longer than Americans. We created an on line business. The internet is great and the cost of living is like tripling our income, plus, the weather is just out of this world. We love Mexico." Mike, Lake Chapala, Mexico "I ́m a tax accountant and I worked for a big accounting firm for years in Cleveland, trying to climb the corporate ladder. Cleveland is cold in the winter. I am a black guy and never really considered leaving the country, but after reading Bill the Geek ́s book, it gave me some ideas. I found some phone numbers of Americans living in Mexico and actually made some friends. They all had US phone numbers and they were very willing to give me a lot of tips and help about how to move down to Puerto Vallarta. I made the move with just my computers and some clothes. I rented a fully furnished, 3 bedroom apartment 5 blocks from the beach for $650.00 a month. I immediately got internet hook up and I was on my way. I grabbed my highest paying clients from the firm I was working for and now I just consult them via Skype. They pay me into my Paypal account and that money goes to my bank. This is heaven. What the heck was I doing in Cleveland. Adios Amigos." Kevin, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico Americans Living in Mexico How to Live in Mexico Why Live in Mexico Saving Money by Living in Mexico

Book excerpt: Mexico, through the eyes of Sybille Bedford is a country of passion and paradox: arid desert and shrieking jungle, harsh sun and deep shadow, violence and sentimentality. In her frank descriptions of the horrors of travel - through bug-infested jungle, trapped in a broiling stationary train, or in a bus with a dead fish slapping against her face - she gains our trust. But it is the charmed world of Don Otavio which steals our imagination. He is, she says, "one of the kindest men I ever met". She stays in his crumbling ancestral mansion, living a life of provincial ease and observing with glee the intense life of a Mexican neighbourhood.

Book excerpt: "It was 12 years ago when I moved to Mexico, leaving my comfortable, familiar life and community, driving by myself to start a new life in a foreign country. Some sort of bravado or naivete or, as my friends would say later, courage, allowed me to pooh-pooh concerns about all the unknowns- culture, language, customs-and head off nonetheless."And so begins one of the more than two dozen essays in this anthology, written by "regular" women about their "regular" lives and how they decided to change everything and move to Mexico. In simple, engaging words straight from the heart, the contributors to Why We Left share their plans and preparations, hardships and challenges, joys and satisfactions as their journeys to new lives in Mexico unfold.

The temperature is perfect, and the humidity is perfect. Everyone is your friend, and it is a very economical place to visit or retire.
