Mexico: Driving Safety in Mexico:

I have friends that have done that drive several times, I´ve never heard any bad comments, Have a nice drive and welcome to Tulum =) its beautiful !

Mexico: Place to live with cool climate??:

I lived in Pachuca for 2 years, and my son is living now in Toluca due to his studies. Both are non touristic, small cities. They are cheaper than the tourist areas but there is nothing to do. Querétaro, Puebla, Guadalajara are very good options =)

Mexico: Needing bike(s):

Great! Congratulations, you can also look on segunda mano or mountain bike stores that have access to the cheaper used bikes of customers looking for newer model. Please let me know if you need help calling people if you don´t speak fluent Spanish =) Gracias!!!!

Mexico: Advice about Riviera Maya:

Hi, I live in Playa del Carmen and might be able to help you with most of your answers. This is a very multinational community and foreigners always feel welcome and never alone. Everyone is new, and welcome. Here are some answers to your questions .... how safe a woman alone might feel; how tolerant people are to Pitbulls; I just helped a friend from Colorado find a 2 bedroom home with a big backyard for her 2 dogs close to the beach and less than a block away from the "dog park" In Quintas del Carmen, she pays 800 US a month, plus utilities, 20 month for gas, about 30 a month for electicity (using AC) and 30 for Internet 3MB which is not the highest speed available but she works using skype everyday and its good enough. 90% of the population loves dogs, and pitbulls are no different =) any tips/tricks on renting (dealing w/real estate agents/landlords) Very few real estate agencies in Playa offer rentals, there are vacationrental companies that do long term rentals like nasplaya.com they don´t have a lot of options, but some and they would offer you solutions to any problems you might have. the best way you can get to see and experience the place would be either housesit with Alex website www.housesittingmexico.com or rent an airbnb property that will offer you 2 or 3 weeks to scout the area and choose your place. ; a good lawyer for the visa; Lic. Durvin M. Rivero Alcocer Director Juridico drivero_alcocer@hotmail.com good places to go to buy groceries you miss from home; PDC has many large grocerie stores and markets, that carry a lot of the imported food you would miss, they stock them because of the large community of expats that live here and the demand is high. But you also have a wide variety of produce that you will love how reliable is the internet connection at home; depending on where you live there are places whith fiber optic and super high speed and others that don´t have access to internet, when you scout the areas to rent that should be a consideration =) will I be lonely (lol); best way to get my belongings there; things I should definitely bring, or leave behind; Most people sell their belongings and just bring 2 suitcases of stuff they are really attached to, most rentals are furnished, furniture is not that expensive, and you can find almost everything you need here, it depends on how attached you are to your stuff. they say if you look at something and it doesn´t make you extremely happy then leave it. what if I want to keep my US cellphone, do I just get a local SIM card; You can if your phone is unlocked and it depends on the type of phone you have if it will take a telcel card. buy a used car there, or will a scooter suffice; you can ride bike or walk almost everywhere unless you live on the outskirts of PDC. are medical expenses all out of pocket for temporary residents; Yes will online products (Amazon, etc.) ship there? Yes Thanks so much! you are welcome=)
