Mexico Bound is a detailed and practical guide for anyone considering a move to Mexico, whether for retirement, remote work, or a fresh start. Emmett Horan draws from his own travel experiences and interviews with expats to explain why so many Americans and Canadians are choosing to live in Mexico. The book covers everything from cost of living and healthcare to visa requirements, banking, housing, and integration into local communities. Readers meet real people who’ve made the move—like Sarah, a remote worker from Seattle who found a better quality of life in Mérida, and Tom and Linda, retirees from Canada, who built a vibrant life in San Miguel de Allende. Horan also gives step-by-step instructions on navigating Mexico’s immigration system, managing finances, and understanding cultural customs. Whether you’re planning to work remotely by the beach or settle into a quiet colonial town, this book helps you think through every part of the journey.
The writing is friendly, organized, and full of useful tips. Emmett Horan keeps the tone straightforward, which makes even complex topics like visa rules or financial planning easy to understand. The pace is steady, with each chapter focused on a clear topic and filled with examples from real people. The personal stories throughout the book make it feel lively and relatable, giving the reader a sense of what life in Mexico is really like. After reading it, I found myself seriously wanting to go to Mexico too—it made the idea feel exciting and within reach. The themes of personal freedom, simplicity, and finding balance are strong throughout. Mexico Bound is an honest and encouraging guide that feels like getting advice from someone who’s been there.
