If You Have Ever Dreamed of Living
|
After all, relocating is a big deal and relocating to Mexico is even bigger! Like you, we have been seriously thinking about making the "big move," (specifically Guadalajara, Mexico).
The e-book 50 Things You Must Know Before You Travel To Mexico can really help to answer many questions a new mover might face..before you get there!
And after reading it, I was really excited to share my thoughts about it, because I think it's a great resource.
After reading this e-book you will:
- Be better prepared for living in Mexico
- Learn more about the culture and daily life
- Learn some of the obstacles you may face
while living in Mexico - Not to mention...have a few laughs
The author of this helpful guide, James A. Truett is an expat who is actually living in Mexico, which makes him a very credible source on the whole moving to Mexico experience.
So his advice has been tested in real life IN MEXICO.
I really want to emphasize this because it is important.
One of the other e-books I read were from people who were thinking about moving to Mexico but hadn’t actually moved and weren’t living there yet!
While the advice they collected from their vacations was good, it wasn’t enough to put me at ease.
After all, you will be the one living there!
I’m sure you agree that you want to hear the experiences from somebody who really lives there, right?
Okay, great!
James has some excellent, no-nonsense and best of all REAL advice on making the life altering move to Mexico.
Advice you can really use:
- How to handle your move
- Helpful tips on receiving important mail from abroad
- Staying in touch with your family back home without spending a fortune on long distance
- Working in Mexico
- Exchanging your dollars for pesos
And more goodies....
He also advises on how to deal with difficult situations that you as a foreigner might encounter, such as being asked for a loan from your new Mexican friends.... AND how to turn them down without offending them.
This one is funny enough to work!
In addition, he really goes over the topic of adjusting to the culture which I especially liked and so many more issues that you wouldn’t think of that you may come across when you decide to make the final move to Mexico.
While this book is excellent with some great advice and tips the only downside was that a few of the links didn’t work for me or were broken. This was my only disapointment which can be cured by doing a quick Google search.
Other than that....
He really tells it like it is!
While most of the travel books and sites I’ve visited have glossed over certain uncomfortable subjects, he openly discusses them and I was pleasantly surprised with his tell it like it is attitude.
I’ve been to Mexico many times and I really appreciated his honesty, especially about things such as the trash you may see littering the highways in some areas, which is something I (naively) didn’t expect when I first went for my vacation.
Honestly, it is not all about piña coladas and beautiful sights.
You take the good with the bad.
He really explains more about this in the book along with the mentality and misconceptions of the majority of the population on different issues.
It would have helped me personally to have read this before my first trip to Mexico.
I found myself having a lot of “aha” moments if you know what I mean.
I think you would agree that you would rather know what to expect ahead of time than be in for a surprise when you arrive, which is why you should definitely print it out, sit back with a cup of coffee and read it.
If you don’t purchase it for any of the reasons above, get it to learn the “secret handshake,” commonly used by the locals to get you accepted as a local!
I loved this little tip and when I showed it to my native Mexican husband he smiled and even showed me another one!!!
One of the main reasons I’m recommending this e-book to my visitors is because I have received a lot of emails asking for more information on moving to Mexico.
While my site is about Guadalajara, Mexico and taking a vacation there, I don’t live there.
This book offers a lot of helpful advice that I can’t and is an invaluable resource if you are vacationing or considering making the transition.
Before moving to Mexico, be prepared! That is what this e-book is all about. You will really enjoy it! Learn more about it here!
Happy reading and enjoy! :-)
