How did this get made?

The man is a babbling ding dong. Embarrassingly unprofessionally delivered. I’m shocked that this is on Audible.

It's $5, it's worth $3.

A few solid points that will help in the future, but, overall, many things missed or not quite correct. I'm a casual tourist in Mexico every few years. It's almost painful he's admittedly lived in Mexico for 10 years.


Thank you Bill the Geek, you've inspired me to pursue creating my own content in Playa del Carmen.

BUYER BEWARE. This has some good advice but...

This has some good advice. 10% of information is useable but everything else is Polly Anna, Blue Sky, etc, scenario. On one hand I applaud his positive description of Mexico, and he is correct that there are many good places for North Americans to live. On the other hand there are many ways for a dream to become a nightmare. DO YOUR RESEARCH. PLAN FOR THE WORST.

Entertaining

This appears to be a collection of podcasts.. It is obvious that the author enjoys his life and gives a very good account of what living in Mexico is really like for an expat who chooses to enjoy his surroundings, but if you are looking for a lot of information on exactly what to do to accomplish the transition, you will only find glimpses in Bill's entertaining stories.

Fun and informative

Fun and informative. It's very informal but it's an easy interesting listen.

The narrator did a great job. Very enjoyable.

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.
