U. S. Federal income tax filing by billrut3
I have a friend in Tepoztlan, Morelos who is trying to locate an accountant, bookkeeper or just someone familiar with filing tax forms with the IRS. He prefers one in Cuernavaca but I am sure would be interested in talking to anyone within the ...

What do you like about your area? I cannot decide where I want to be. Today I am thinking about La Paz or Mulege, Baja California. Tomorrow I might changed my mind. I am all over the place. I do not like cold, but too much heat makes me sleepy and I ... Read More
Water quality in Mexico by Itobys
I went to zihuatanejo this past June . The woman I stayed with was soaking all her fruits and vegetables in iodine solution to desinfect and told me not to use regular tap water for washing fruits or drinking because it was bad. Is there an area in ...
I never got sick from water there because I knew not to drink. I ate out a lot, had iced drinks and was just fine. But my face got swollen from heat and humidity so bad. I never seen myself looking like that before. It was terrible. It was in June. ... Read More

What do you do to make money to live in Mexico? by 420jon69
Just curious to see what everyone does to earn money that allows you to live in Mexico?
Good topic. I was thinking about doing accounting and taxes online, as long as I can keep my existing clients and be able to obtain new ones online but worry about security of the data and my equipment. I am a CPA. Also there could be some issues ... Read More

Is cohousing worth a look? by CasaColibri
Want to live somewhere where you have both the advantages of a fully-appointed communal house and your own smaller private house or cottage? Where you have your own community of neighbors to share resources, skills and knowledge? Where you know your ...
In my previous post I was asking about Tierra Alta community. I am not sure if this is totally me though. What I am looking for is security more or less. But at the same time I am not a typical ex-pat, I mean I will be since I am still in the US. I ... Read More

I am curious about El Tuito Tierra Alta community. Anyone knows anything? It looks beautiful. The only thing I worry about is wooden construction since Mexico is prone to termites. Any ideas or thoughts? Anyone checked it out? Read More

Hi all, my family (me, hubs, 2 small kids) WERE planning on buying land in the high desert of Arizona, building a straw bale home, and starting a permaculture garden. Once that is set up nicely, we planned on travelling for a few months out of the ...
