When we asked what advice they have for others considering retiring abroad, they advised...
"Retirees in Mazatlan recommend exploring different locations in the country before committing to a place, as every city will have different opportunities and features. Retirees also suggest researching options for healthcare, as well as language schools, since most locations in Mexico will require some Spanish fluency to access the best services. Additionally, retirees suggest getting to know the local community to experience what Mazatlan has to offer: wonderful food, culture, and outdoor activities; the atmosphere is a big part of the retirement experience. Finally, retirees encourage visitors to enjoy the relaxed and laid-back lifestyle, as well as the sun and welcoming locals," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Mazatlan, Mexico.
"Covid has really dampened our enjoyment of our new home, but I guess it has everywhere! We are fortunate not to have to work, and can stay home except for essential trips and walking for outdoor exercise. But what a beautiful place to walk," commented one expat who made the move to Mazatlan, Mexico.
