I've been teaching online for more than 3 years, and during this time, I've noticed how many people were learning Spanish to travel to Mexico and Latin America, and besides language questions, I always got a lot about what places were the best to visit, or what kind of documents people needed if they wanted to stay here; because of this, I started writing this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meet Miles Standish Pickerel: bamboozler, American ne'er-do-well, and poor gringo extraordinaire. Newly divorced, culinarily clueless, and living in Mexico with his faithful canine companion, Ladrn, he shamelessly prepares traditional Mexican cuisine from low-cost (or no-cost) ingredients.

Download or read book Guanajuato Mexico written by Doug Bower and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living in the city of Guanajuato is nothing like living the Gringo Landias or Gringo Gulches of San Miguel de Allende or Puerto Vallarta. No information exists in book form to guide the potential expat to a new life in central Mexico. Expatriating to Guanajuato is different and unique. Unlike San Miguel de Allende or Puerto Vallarta, there is not a huge gringo community here that acts as a support buffer for "newbies". Nor is English as widely spoken as it is in other areas where expats live. Doug and Cindi Bower spell out the differences between living in Guanajuato and living in other areas where expats have traditionally congregated. They offer a survival manual for the potential expat.

Download or read book On the Plain of Snakes written by Paul Theroux and published by Eamon Dolan Books. This book was released on 2019 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legendary travel writer Paul Theroux drives the entire length of the US-Mexico border, then goes deep into the hinterland, on the back roads of Chiapas and Oaxaca, to uncover the rich, layered world behind today's brutal headlines. Paul Theroux has spent his life crisscrossing the globe in search of the histories and peoples that give life to the places they call home. Now, as immigration debates boil around the world, Theroux has set out to explore a country key to understanding our current discourse: Mexico. Just south of the Arizona border, in the desert region of Sonora, he finds a place brimming with vitality, yet visibly marked by both the US Border Patrol looming to the north and mounting discord from within. With the same humanizing sensibility he employed in Deep South, Theroux stops to talk with residents, visits Zapotec mill workers in the highlands, and attends a Zapatista party meeting, communing with people of all stripes who remain south of the border even as their families brave the journey north. From the writer praised for his "curiosity and affection for humanity in all its forms" (New York Times Book Review), On the Plain of Snakes is an exploration of a region in conflict.

Download or read book Gringos in Paradise written by Barry Golson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2006-11-14 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Year in Provence meets Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House in this lively and entertaining account of a couple's year building their dream house in Mexico. In 2004, Barry Golson wrote an award-winning article for AARP magazine about Mexican hot spots for retirees longing for a lifestyle they couldn't afford in the United States. A year later, he and his wife Thia were taking part in the growing trend of retiring abroad. They sold their Manhattan apartment, packed up their SUV, and moved to one of those idyllic hot spots, the surfing and fishing village of Sayulita on Mexico's Pacific coast. With humor and charm, Golson details the year he and his wife spent settling into their new life and planning and building their dream home. Sayulita -- population 1,500, not including stray dogs or pelicans -- is a never-dull mixture of traditional Mexican customs and new, gringo-influenced change. Before long, the Golsons had been absorbed into the rhythms and routines of village life: they adopted a pair of iguanas named Iggy Pop and Iggy Mom, got sick and got cured by a doctor who charged them sixteen dollars a visit, made lasting friends with Mexicans and fellow expatriates, and discovered the skill and artistry of local craftsmen. But their daily lives were mostly dedicated to the difficult yet satisfying process of building their house. It took them almost six months to begin building -- nothing is simple (or speedy) in Mexico -- and incredibly, they completed construction in another six. They engaged a Mexican architect, builder, and landscape designer who not only built their home but also changed their lives; encountered uproariously odd bureaucracy; and ultimately experienced a lifetime's worth of education about the challenges and advantages of living in Mexico. The Golsons lived (and are still living) the dream of many -- not only of going off to a tropical paradise but also of building something beautiful, becoming a part of a new world, making lasting friends, and transforming their lives. As much about family and friendship as about house-building, Gringos in Paradise is an immensely readable and illuminating book about finding a personal paradise and making it a home.

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
