WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
My experience of living in Mexico was eye opening to say the least. The culture was much different than the way I grew up. It was an adjustment. The way living in Mexico helped me grow as a person, was an experience I needed in my life. I was able to relax and learn to construct a different way of approaching life and the people in my life. I didn’t realize the difference until I visited the States again and how much the time spent living in Mexico was needed.

My last visit to Mexico was my first visit with my daughter, and I've never felt more safe on a trip than visiting San Cristobal. No matter what happens here in the US, I know that San Cristobal is a place in the world where I feel safe and welcomed as a mother. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to experience Mexican culture, and give my children that experience, too. And it's amazing how much more calm and relaxed I am in the US after having seen a different way of living.

I attended the Intro to Mexico class because I wanted to take a break from my day to day life in the US and learn more about what it was like to live life in Mexico generally, and specifically, in San Cristobal de Las Casas. I had already made some significant changes in my professional and personal life and was looking for what I wanted for my next chapter. I didn’t expect the impact that immersing myself in an unfamiliar and ancient culture and talking about those experiences would have on me. Things I had taken for granted and thought were necessary to my life - my beliefs, roles, masks, and descriptions of the world - turned out to be irrelevant to life in San Cristobal, leaving me free to take a fresh and unvarnished look at who I am and what is actually important in my life. The process of discovery was fascinating, sometimes disorienting and frustrating, often humbling, but ultimately deeply satisfying. After my first visit, I arranged to come back for an extended stay and then decided to relocate to Mexico.

When you first get to San Cris you are immediately breath-taken by the beautiful landscape. Photos do not do San Cris any justice. It’s a must see in person. Then you are greeted with a culture brimming with substance, a true focus on family, and a respect for diversity. You are able to relax and step outside of your norm. With this type of slow down from the American hustle and bustle of the constant “go, go, go” I was able to see something different. I saw that I could live being productive and successful without sacrificing what’s natural to the human experience - family. There is a level of practicality and respect within Mexican culture that I found refreshing as an American. A “Karen” wouldn’t get very far here. I’ve seen strangers help tapped-out moms with their tantrum children, instead of just giving a side eye. I’ve seen how business and family work hand-in-hand. Where children are allowed to be seen and heard. This is a stark difference from the US from my experience and it was truly eye opening. I highly recommend visiting San Cris for yourself to gain your own perspective - regardless if you decide to just visit or decide to make the move to experience what the culture of San Cris has to offer. I know I’m excited to visit San Cris again and the lovely people at Intro to Mexico who made our stay so wonderful.

Our Mission
The mindset in Mexico is steeped in generosity, caring, acceptance, and inclusivity. Something that is currently in short supply on the other side of the border. If you are looking for the freedom to live your life where you can simply be, then Mexico is waiting for you. If you or someone you know are considering relocating to Mexico, even for a little while, but not sure where to start, we’ve got you. As expats with several years under our belts, we want to help in every way we can to help make a transition to life in Mexico as smooth as possible, if you decide this is where you’d like to be. This is an interactive experience that will immerse you in the Mexican culture, where we explore a more inclusive worldview along with the in’s and out’s of everyday life, common language, and belief barriers that expats can encounter and provide you with a solid knowledge base to draw from as you discover the freedom of life in Mexico. This experience is held in one of Mexico’s Pueblo Magicos, San Cristóbal de las Casas, which is nestled in the highlands of Chiapas, Mexico, and is our home as well.
