THE PLAIN TRUTH ABOUT LIVING IN MEXICO

All the books listed on this entire website reflect an entirely different Expatriation Philosophy. The vast majority of books written and commercially available on the issue of Americans expatriating to Mexico will sugar-coat everything from how the locals will perceive you, info on cost-of-living, and will try to give you the impression that moving to Mexico is like moving into a Paradise. We endeavor to tell the truth: Mexico is not a paradise it is a country. And, in this country you will find a diversity almost as vast as the U.S. complete with those who love Gringos and those who hate them. You will find things which you like and will adapt to quickly. You will also find things to which you will never be able to accept. That's life here.

My motive for writing the books on this website is that the info available in commercial form, whether online or in print, pretty much reveal a Concept of Mexico and not the Reality of Mexico. They will make you think you will find no evil in this paradisaical land of milk and honey. They will make you think you can live like King Solomon will all these adoring and worshipful servants who have been waiting all their lives for you to arrive and save them from their horrible third-world existence.

I hope what you find in this website is not just refreshing but will drastically alter your idea of what living in Mexico is all about.

REVIEW

Highly Recommend , September 8, 2006By Bruce Drake (NPR News) (Washington, DC)

As someone who has visited Mexico several times as I struggle with my study of Spanish, and who is thinking of moving there, I found this book to be far superior to the general run of guides on the expatriate life or retiring in Mexico. Some of the others of this genre just lack the ring of authenticity, or seemed to be aimed at people with a lot of bucks who are headed for a gated community or an expensive house in Cabo San Lucas. But the Bowers' book has that ring of authenticity and is squarely aimed at the (for lack of a better cliche) "average Joe" who is looking for a life that is different and/or better and needs down-to-earth practical advice on how an American can make this transition.

To date myself, the Bowers' reporting reminds me of the usefulness of a Travel Forum I used to frequent on one of the pioneer online services, CompuServe, where I got the best travel ideas and advice ever from the many participants who gave their firsthand reports, and to whom you could pose the kinds of questions that you don't see answered in newspaper travel sections or guidebooks.

The Bowers live in Guanjauato which is not far from where I always visit, which is a too-Americanized well known town that they don't quite approve of, San Miguel de Allende. [...]

So, if this is the kind of information you are looking for, buy this book as well as the Bowers' book on Guanajuato.

THE PLAIN TRUTH ABOUT LIVING IN MEXICO - Find out the unique and sometimes baffling differences of what it's like to live in Central Mexico. Expatriating to Mexico's Heartland is as different as someone in New York or Los Angeles moving to Kansas City--America's Heartland!
