Hello, my wife and I are contemplating retiring in Zihua. We will be back in late February and would like to meet some expats living in Zihua and get some insight into how life really is there. Any suggestions?

You've certainly come to the right place. There are countless stories and anecdotes here in the older Message Board comments from expats living here. Some are just passing the time living the same as if they were in Florida or Arizona. And some of us actually speak the language and know a bit about what's going on.

Here's part of my story:
The Luckiest Gringo in Mexico

It can't be beat. After 10 years of 6 months here and 6 months on the beach in California we have found that living here full time is paradise.

Read everything you can, be prepared and become part of the community.

After traveling all over Mexico two weeks each year for nearly 40 years, we kept returning here. Finally decided to buy property and build. We then made a detailed Zihua plan to retire and meticulously kept to it. We've been here full-time three years and it's perfect.

Thanks for the advice. We are coming in February for two more weeks in arguably the nicest place in Mexico and are looking forward to meeting as many expats as we can.
