Ex-Pats in the Yucatán

Info for Ex-Pats - Yucatán Living

This online magazine is for expatriates who are living, working and playing in Yucatan, but especially for those who are discovering this unique location as a possible destination for retirement, starting a new business or owning a second home. Yucatan Living is also a favorite resource for people who prefer to explore this region and its special culture beyond what most tourist websites and guidebooks usually recommend.

Yucatán Living covers practical subjects like the immigration process in Mérida. We publish local color stories that reveal the variety of lifestyle choices available to new arrivals. We interview expatriates who already live and work in the area to tell how they made a success of moving here. Of course, we also research local services and offer insight into the common problems people face while adapting to a new culture and language.

Mérida Insider

We offer news, business reviews, tips, advice, and unsolicited & extremely personal opinions about living in México, Mérida, and the Yucatan. This is a community project by the gringo residents here, in and around Merida. Coping with a new language, a new culture, and the miscellaneous regulations imposed on foreigners in México has tended to bind us. We hope to provide visitors, our long-time residents, and newcomers with interesting and useful insights into life here. Maybe we can make your stay in the Yucatan a little easier and a little more fun. Please participate!

We have magazines, books on tape, used books for sale, a community bulletin board and much more. We host a variety of social and cultural events throughout the year including the popular First Friday get-togethers and a stimulating lecture series...

Mérida: Finding a Home (Cheerios Included) in México - New York Times

With its narrow sidewalks, cobblestone streets and chalky colonial buildings painted the color of Easter eggs, Mérida is home to a growing number of expatriates. Sitting on the breezy veranda of a hotel that was once a 19th-century hacienda, one expatriate, Ellen Fields, said, "Even though Mérida is a city of almost a million people, it seems like a small town if you're an expat because we all know each other."...
