Info for Ex-Pats - Yucatán Living
This online magazine is for expatriates who are living, working and playing in Yucatan, but especially for those who are discovering this unique location as a possible destination for retirement, starting a new business or owning a second home. Yucatan Living is also a favorite resource for people who prefer to explore this region and its special culture beyond what most tourist websites and guidebooks usually recommend.
Yucatan Living covers practical subjects like the immigration process in Mérida. We publish local color stories that reveal the variety of lifestyle choices available to new arrivals. We interview expatriates who already live and work in the area to tell how they made a success of moving here. Of course, we also research local services and offer insight into the common problems people face while adapting to a new culture and language.

Moving to Mexico: How We Did It and Why - Transitions Abroad.com
Toward the end of 2003 my husband Fred and I decided to move to Mexico. It was not something we had spent years contemplating. It happened that we were talking about our daughter’s plan to move to Mexico and perhaps teach English. We were excited, because we felt it allowed us a new place to vacation.
After three years she still had not made the move. On a cold evening in October my husband said, “You know, we could do that. We could move to Mexico.” And so it started...
