| I'm old. So I'll answer. I wanted to do something different from the regular straight line of a life that I had. I was not born here. Yes it was. Looking back, even though I would say I had it a lot easier than others, it was difficult yes!

| I'm older than Liz so I guess I have to answer. I moved here by accident, it wasn't planned. I came for a month vacation (in Cozumel, not Cancun), met a man on the beach and missed my flight back. Didn't get back to Canada for another year and by that time I was pregnant and here for good. It wasn't hard moving here or staying here, though there are certainly bad days and trials to go through to stay (read any immigration posts or my recent "oh what fun" thread and you'll get an idea).

| Why? Well...I could list a whole number of things that justified my move, but in reality it was more of an impulse thing following my being laid off from work, and also being in a position where I could go without working for some time. I know a lot of people have put lots of planning into their move, and in retrospect I would have done several things before I came had I known. (namely, getting my FM3 in the States, and taking a few Spanish courses) But in my case, the time between deciding I was going to Mexico and being in Cancun was less than 3 days. Originally, I was planning a trip all through Latin America, ending up in Brazil...... I made it as far as Cancun. :roll: |

| Am I old? mm I feel it this morning so I'll answer too. I like most people came on holiday and loved Cancun, came back for a year, went back to UK for a year and then moved back here again - that was about 6 years ago. It was difficult as first of course but well worth it. Jobs, nice apartments etc come with more luck than anything I believe. It's a question with sticking with the s*** times and enjoying the good things and everything falls into place.

| I came here as my company changed our regional headquarters to Cancun. I had a very easy move here as my company paid for househunting trips, moved my goods here, took care of my fm-3 etc. With that in mind the transition was fairly difficult as I did not speak hardly any spanish, did not listen to advice about where to live etc. I quickly had lots of acquaintances but, very few friends. After about 9 months I was nearly ready to leave. Then I met the woman of my dreams and we stayed for over 3 more years. We recently left because of another change in career. Part of me will always be in Mexico as I left many good friends there that i miss.
