Recent political events in the USA have left a lot of folks thinking very seriously about moving out of the country. Although the neighbour to the north has a lot of very appealing qualities, we’d like to list the Top 5 reasons why looking south is the better way to go.

2. The Cost of Living. With exchange rate at a record high, living in Mexico is extremely affordable. Everything from mortgages in Mexico, property taxes, and real estate, to healthcare, groceries, and entertainment is much cheaper than in Canada or the US.

3. Easier Immigration Policy. Need we say more? It’s easier to move to Mexico than to Canada.

4. The Culture. Mexico has an incredible history, and very rich day to day living culture. From ancient Mayan and Aztec cultural practices to farmer’s markets, to beautiful celebrations, Mexico’s culture is something that its northern neighbours can’t even begin to compete with.

5. A Laidback Lifestyle. Life in Mexico is very different than in Canada or the US, things are a little slower. People take the time to stop and chat when they see a friend, to go for a leisurely stroll, or read a book on the beach. Say goodbye to always being in a rush…
