About Madeline
Life in Mexico
I have spent the last ten years living on the Pacific coast of Mexico and traveling around the country.
While mainly focusing on the popular tourist destinations, I have also travelled through central Mexico, Yucatan and Oaxaca.
Life as an Expat
Taking a big leap in the summer of 2011, I moved my family and company to Puerto Vallarta. I have experienced many of the ins and outs of this country. From registering for school to car insurance to animal rescue and day to day living, I share these experiences through my writing and photography.
Traveling beyond the Resort
With a population of 120 million and a land mass greater than Western Europe, Mexico is also the 5th most bio-diverse country on the planet. All of this leads to unique geographical regions, elaborate cultures, UNESCO protected heritage, ancient cultures, and amazing people. Relax beachside or explore the tiny villages, there is truly something for everyone in Mexico.
