I have been ripped off twice by BBVA Bancomer. Once in December and a second time, this month. Money and receipt did not come out. Bank was closed. I knocked on window. A staff person said to do it again. I did and received funds. Then I came home...
San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato/ Surrey, British Columbia
If in Mexico, how long have you resided there?
1 year
Tell us about yourself, type of business, last employment
I came to San Miguel de Allende for 10 days two years ago and was so impressed by the city and the people I purchased a house and moved down a year later. Originally from Toronto I moved back and forth between Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver during which time I was working for CIBC and then in real estate. I always said I would move to Mexico when I was ready to retire. My aim was 55. I officially moved to SMA Sept 1/08 and had my 55th in my home in Mexico. This was one plan I actually managed to pull off. I am very happy to be here and enjoy everyday.
Hola Laurel,
I love your pictures! Thanks for connecting and sharing. I hope to return to Mexico soon also. I know the feeling when I am there I feel like I have come home. :)
Bright blessings,
Christina
Laurel, is that Chewy in one of your photos? I am checking up on him before I return so I will have a first hand report. I will be returning about the 19th of August and then expect to be here for some time. Anna
Hi Laurel, Loved your story. Mine is very similar. 7 days near Bucerias and 2 years later I had bought my house there and am living there 6 months of the year. What an awesome way to live. Congrats on realizing your dreams!
