Living in Latin America Has Completely Changed My Life

My first taste of living in Latin America started way back in 1994 in Recife, Brazil. I lived with a family for 3 months and studied Portuguese at the University of Pernambuco. It opened my eyes to a whole new world. It was undoubtedly the most memorable experience of my life. I craved more of it. The next year, in 1995 I got married to an Ecuadorian I met at the University of South Carolina and moved from the US to Guayaquil, Ecuador. The following year my daughter was born. For sure, living in Latin America isn’t for everyone, but for many, including myself to this day, it’s an area of the world filled with adventure and intrigue. Additionally, living in Latin America typically has a lower cost of living than the United States, Canada and western Europe.

Menaje de casa and Logistics Support

Whether by air, land or sea, moving household items to Mexico requires careful planning. The menaje de casa is a term you should become familiar with. It’s required by customs and must be completed correctly. We have the perfect Excel template that auto calculates all your household items including vehicles. We’ll guide you along the way or even complete the form for you if you prefer. We have connections with customs brokers as well as national and international shipping companies that our founder has personally used on more than one occasion.

Real Estate Considerations

Living in Mexico in a new home is truly a rewarding and memorable experience. I mean it truly is, just wait till you get here! We highly recommend renting upon arrival to your new, exciting Mexican destination. This allows time to decide if that particular city or town is right for you without making a major financial commitment. Additionally, if and when ready to purchase, we’ll advise you regarding Mexico’s restricted zones and how to buy via a trust (fideicomiso) if need be.
