About Activity

I live in Vancouver with my husband and my 5 year old. I'm looking for a better life - one that involves more time with my child and less than a 60-hour work week. I'm also interested in having my child grow up in a culture that is not all about aquiring more stuff and text messaging. I long for white-sand beaches, warm Carribean breezes, and a feeling of community that I just have not found in Vancouver.

Interests: real estate, , Scuba diving, learning spanish, mountain biking

I am Employed.

Puerto Escondido, Mexico

scuba diving, snorkelling, hiking, biking?
TBD
Truthfully, haven't actually been there yet, but it's one of the places we're considering moving to. Love the weather, beaches. Seems like there are more activities there that appeal to us than in some other areas we've considered.
I've found no information whatsoever on moving there with kids or availability of good schools, so I assume this has not been a popular destination for expats with kids. This is one of my biggest concerns. Also worried about the proximity to a good hospital should the need arise. Thirdly, it seems that going from PE to other areas requires a bit more travel planning due to the lack of frequent flights out.

Yucatan, Mexico

scuba diving, snorkelling, working out
TBD
weather, beaches, proximity to bilingual private schools
higher cost of accommodations/real estate than other areas of Mexico, risk of hurricanes, overly commercialized?

Good point. Honestly I haven't lived in a small community for a VERY long time, so I think I'd need to spend some time there before making any "permanent" committments. The ferry is more expensive than I thought it would be. That's a big ... Read More

Hi Craig. Thanks for the info you've shared thus far about schools in Cancun. We are a family of 3 with a 3 year old girl. We're considering a move to Mexico or Belize and schooling for our daughter is obviously a determining factor. We love ... Read More
