Mexico Travel

When I first arrived in Mexico in July, 1995, I spoke almost no
Spanish -- I knew no one --and, frankly, I was a bit nervous. Well,
terrified is more like it. I knew I wanted to try living in Mexico,
but I had no idea just how different the culture really is. Over my
first two or three months, I honestly felt like I had made a VERY bad
decision in moving to the southern Baja Peninsula. I was depressed and
very lonely, and every day I thought about returning to my home in the
U.S.
Now, more than 10 years later, I look back at that time and chuckle,
because I've seen so many people go through the same thing. Most every
newcomer to Mexico gets frustrated by unexpected situations -- the
things the tourism brochures don't tell you how to handle.
Unfortunately, some end up leaving, while others eventually manage to
settle into the lifestyle after a fair amount of time and A LOT of
costly mistakes.
