Bienvenidos a Latam Living

Thinking of Moving to Mexico?

Tired of the Politics?

Many people are fed up with the political tension in their home country. My native country, the US, is a complete disaster. I see my Facebook friends from each side upload the most ridiculous posts blaming the other political party. Cherry-picking media clips for one’s own agenda has never been easier that it is in 2025. Some people have said “enough is enough” and have made the move to Mexico and elsewhere. Leave the politics behind.

Cost of Living Too High?

The cost of living in some countries is just overwhelming for many, especially those requiring medical care. Clinics, hospitals, groceries, medicine, housing, property taxes and more are cheaper in Mexico than the US, Canada and Western Europe. People of all ages are discovering the benefits of living in Mexico.

Winter Blues Got You Down?

Mexico’s climate ranges from the hot, dry Baja California, to the cooler, mountainous Bajio region, and on to the humid, tropical Yucatán Peninsula, offering something comfortable for almost everyone.

Latam Living is Sugarcoat Free

We avoid cliche expat/travel words like “gem”, “incredible”, “paradise”, or “tapestry”. They are way overused and hardly represent what it’s truly like living in Latin America or anywhere. We value authenticity. You may read the occasional “colonial”, “nestled”, and “vibrant”, but only where it truly fits. Truth is, not every city is vibrant and that’s OK. We don’t use “petty crime”. We believe it downplays real crime. Saying “it’s mostly petty crime” sugarcoats reality. I didn’t like having my bike stolen and I’m sure most people wouldn’t want their cell phones, wallets or purses to be robbed either.

Tapestry? Seriously?

Living in Latin America Has Changed My Life

My first taste of living in Latin America started way back in 1994 in Recife, Brazil. I lived with a family for 3 months and studied Portuguese at the University of Pernambuco. It opened my eyes to a whole new world. It was undoubtedly the most memorable experience of my life. I craved more of it. The next year, in 1995 I got married to an Ecuadorian I met at the University of South Carolina and moved from the US to Guayaquil, Ecuador. The following year my daughter was born. For sure, living in Latin America isn’t for everyone, but for many, including myself, it’s an area of the world filled with adventure and intrigue. Additionally, living in Latin America typically has a lower cost of living than the United States, Canada and western Europe.

Menaje de casa and Logistics Support

The menaje de casa is a term you should become familiar with. It’s required by customs and must be completed correctly. We have the perfect Excel template that auto calculates all your household items including vehicles. We’ll guide you along the way or even complete the form for you. We have connections with customs brokers as well as national and international shipping companies that we’ve used on more than one occasion.

1 on 1 Initial Strategy Consultation

Deciding to live in Mexico is a bold step where adventure awaits. However, strategic planning is essential prior to making your move. Individuals’ needs are different, and we must first identify your needs, wants, and your non-negotiables. Additionally, we’ll discuss your Spanish abilities and provide important tips if necessary. The logistics of moving household items with a menaje de casa or inventory is another consideration.

Mexico Real Estate Considerations

Living in Mexico in a new home is truly a rewarding experience. It really is, just wait till you get here! We highly recommend renting upon arrival to your exciting Mexican destination. This allows time to decide if that particular city or town is right for you without making a major financial commitment. Additionally, if and when ready to purchase, we’ll advise you regarding Mexico’s restricted zones and how to buy via a trust (fideicomiso).
