Cuenca was my first choice as a retirement destination when I retired at age 49. I lived there full-time for almost six years. And since first settling there in 2001, I’ve traveled to just about every country in Latin America; and gotten to know most of them quite well. I’ve seen the best of what the region has to offer, yet my opinion of Cuenca hasn’t changed.
For divers, there may be no better place to live than Cozumel. Sure, you may find places where the marine life is more spectacular, the dive boats less crowded, the land life more laidback…but for day-to-day convenience, Cozumel is hard to beat. You’ll find all the comforts of “back home,” but a lifestyle that is distinctly Mexican—all this despite the fact that Cozumel is a popular tourist destination.
Thinking about moving overseas and worried about how your kids or grandkids will take to it? Don’t be. Children are adaptable and can soak up new experiences (and languages) like big porous sponges.

Wondering how to make the most of your travel dollar this year—and possibly have the best vacation you’ve ever had? Consider a vacation home rental over a hotel stay.
Thanks to the Internet, a concept called “couch surfing” has been taking the travel world by storm for almost a decade now. Until you understand how it works, you might think it’s only for the young (or frugal) traveler.
If your goal is to live within your means…and your means aren’t as meaningful as they used to be…I have good news for you. You can live well in Mexico on a small budget.
Tequila has a long, rich history, after all. It was the first distilled beverage produced in North America, made of distilled sap from the hearts of the agave plant—not related to cactus, as you might think, but rather to the lily and amaryllis.
Walk through the gates of Hotel Macan ché and into a sanctuary of calmness. Tropical plants of every size, shape, and color surround you, from orange birds of paradise to bright red Gingers, purple ivy, and the tallest, greenest bamboo you’ve ever seen, rustling magically in the wind.
