It's been over a month since we made the big move to the USA. Things have been great here and we are slowly but surely getting adjusted. Even though I am extremely happy to be living back stateside there are things I miss about my beloved Mexico. To soothe my nostalgic feelings here are 7 things I miss about living in Cancun.
Read MoreAfter 5 years, the time has finally come for us to part ways. What a roller coaster ride it has been. When I found you, I was blown away by your flashing lights, party scene, interesting people, and beautiful beaches. You were my escape. You were the answer to all my problems, or so I thought.I always describe us as having a love-hate relationship, although I could never hate you. I think most people that come from other places to live here can agree with me when I say most of them move to Cancun to escape something – probably themselves, me included.
Read MoreYes you read that correctly, surprise! We're moving! By now most of my friends and family are in the loop about the move, as well as my job that I gave my two week notice to last Friday. Fernando and I decided that the time has come for us to make the BIG change -move from Mexico to the United States. Our plan has always been to eventually move to the US as this is where we would like to live and raise our family in the long run. We weren't sure when exactly we would feel like moving, but we began planning it recently because Fer and his co-workers who were involved in the same program at his work were let go. Another reason we thought now would be a good time is because my sister is getting married in November and I want to be nearby so I can perform all my maid of honor duties, and be there for her during this important time.
Read MoreI was born a soccer player. I've been playing since the age of four. I only ever tried to quit one time when I was in 3rd grade and learned what sprints were, luckily my mom wouldn't let me. Thanks mom! Soccer has been pretty awesome for me considering it has been my emotional outlet for good times and bad, a way I've kept fit, and a way I've made long lasting friendships. I love playing it and watching it. Whatever way you spin it, it's the best sport in the world.
Read MoreSpring has sprung and we've already started the month of April. Here in Cancun, the crazy Spring Break season is coming to a close, which means I can come out of my cave again. Haha. It's funny that Spring Break is the thing that brought me here originally, yet nowadays I can't stand it! Spring break is GREAT for businesses in Cancun and in that respect it's nice, but for locals who work a 9-5 and are sober sallies like myself, it can be a huge nuisance. Additionally, we like when Cancun is known for being a beautiful, culturally robust city with historical attractions, great food, and amazing beaches, not just a party town for college kids to come get drunk in. I thought this would be the appropriate time to share why I think the destination of Cancun is so much more than just Spring Break.
Read MoreLiving abroad can be tough to adjust to. Like I outlined in a recent post, there are many things you have to accept and adapt to, especially in Mexico. Living in another country can also teach you many valuable life lessons. Here are a few I've learned while living in Cancun for 5 years now
Read MoreA few weeks back I had some expat ladies over to my house for some appetizers and gossip. We got to talking about luxuries we missed from our home countries which led me to write this post. As an expat living in Mexico there are certain luxuries I've had to give up while living here and some weird things I've just had to accept about this foreign country. I know my fellow foreigners living here will be able to relate to these unusual things you might have to accept if you want to live as an expat in Mexico.
