i’ve been bursting to read this post since I saw the link on your FB page. One of my problems has been that over the past few weeks I have had scant internet, and it has been driving me crazy. That’s no doubt one reason I’ve decided to settle down for at least 3 months too. I have a feeling it may be lonnger, but, as you say, who knows. Lots of luck in Mexico! You make it sound so wonderful….. perhaps my sort of place! Since I will possibly be making shorter trips in the future I’ll definitely nove it up my list! And now off to get up to date with what you’ve been doing since you posted this!

In reply to Katie @ The World on my Necklace. We love Mexico, so it definitely won't be time wasted. We plan on staying for at least 3 months to see both how we like the area as well as to evaluate if we're really read to switch to a more expat-type lifestyle. One definitely needs time in an area to fully feel it out.

I hope that things work out for you in Mexico, it is definitely one of my favourite countries. My advice would be to give it at least a couple of months to settle in, it has taken me about 4 months to feel at home in Sydney, where I recently moved after travelling for 18 months. Roots can take a bit of time to develop and having a home base definitely has benefits. It can be hard to take the time to really adjust but I do think it is worth it.

In reply to Ali. The real beauty of this lifestyle is we aren't committed to just one way. Don't like it, we can move on! Or if we do like it, we can enjoy settling down in one spot and having a home we leave and come back to for shorter trips. Win-win, right?

In reply to Contented Traveller. We'll definitely continue our adventures no matter what. And it will be interesting to see if we do feel like we're ready to settle down, or if we just need some downtime in one spot for a while.

You seem to feel that this is what you both want and need at this time and that’s a good thing. I hardly think that you will have an orthodox settle, from reading your posts you will continue your adventures with a base and cat. That’s not a bad thing. Looking forward to read more.

Sounds like a good decision. I don’t think I could ever be a nomad, I like the stability of home too much & I need regular doses of it now and then. Mexico should be good & there’s still more exploring & adventure in expat life for sure. And you can always pick up & change your mind later!

Hi Talon,
I’m happy to read that you are coming to Playa. I started to follow you after you left.
It would be great to meet you and Tigger.
Please get in touch!

In reply to Heidi Wagoner.

Mexico was my first international experience, too! We did a rode trip of Mexico from top to bottom, so I’ve seen much of the country. Just love it and the people.

How exciting you’re starting nomadic life soon! Will be interesting to see what you think.
