Americans and Canadians in droves are discovering that living in Mexico has a lot of appeal. Some are snowbirds, here for about half the year, but many people have become “expats,” or people who live outside their own country. While visiting grandchildren and doing some shopping may take these expats north frequently, they consider Mexico as their place of residence.

It’s not always evident why such large numbers of us have migrated south to Mexico. After all, most of us struggle with speaking Spanish, we love to complain to our expat friends about all sorts of things in our daily lives, and the cultural differences between our own way of life and the Mexican culture are significant.
