I first went to central Mexico in 1993. Previously I had not been beyond Tijuana. I had travelled extensively in Europe including organizing and leading tours.
Not having travelled outside the United States for a several years, I went to Mexico because it was nearby and affordable. During my three week trip, I fell in love with the country and have returned for several longer stays.
I have visited 19 Mexican states and Mexico City.
I am a recently retired ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher who will be moving to Mexico later this year.
I hope you find this site useful and will return to view updates.
