A Gringa Writes About Life in Cancun, Mexico.
Tags: cats, dogs, design
I'm a Gringa web designer from Colorado, USA. I live in Cancun, Mexico with my Mexican husband and a house-full of dogs and cats that we rescued from the streets of Cancun.
Hi River,
I used to live there and am going back possibly to live again. Can you tell me about your experiences as in getting settled, etc? Also do you have another blog say on face? I really could use some advice and to know there are gringas living full time gives me hope. I'm a screenwriter hoping to be able to get back and yet work remotely.

brokerwritergrl - I've been in Cancun for almost 6 years and still buy clothes in the US. I'm not sure I'll ever be settled here.
There are several thousand Americans living in the Cancun/Riviera Maya area, there's a strong expat community here. To tap into it I recommend reaching out to the International Women's Club of Cancun: http://www.iwccancun.com/ (they have an email list you can join). You should also join some of the local forums: http://www.cancuncare.com/forum/index.php and http://www.cancunassist.com/newforum/viewposts.cfm are just two, there are several more (TripdAdvisor has one too).
Hope that helps, RiverGirl

Hi; moving in Jan to Cancun, with companion canine. Any insights to having him around while there? We will drive down in Jan-feb, but before then, have to set up new clinic there, etc.

Thanks for the links, we are thinking of moving here from Buenos Aires, and I have made the mistake of not getting connected until I was crazy lonely. I will look into it!
