Bits of my advice from my experience as a young female expat living in Guadalajara, Mexico. Based on word of mouth recommendations and lessons learned from my own trials and tribulations, short posts will focus on helpful tips for any new folks in town. From refried bean making to urban gardening to trips to the dentist and the immigration office, learning to live here one step at a time.

• About me: I'm originally from Greensboro, North Carolina and now live in Guadalajara, Mexico. I work out of my home as a manager for a Chicago-based translation company, and my life revolves around the domestic upkeep of a small bungalow-style home near Plaza Mexico, a resilient 2007 Dell laptop on which I do all my work, and (somewhat limited) conversations with a greet parrot named Sabina. I live with my tapatio boyfriend, who among other very important things, has taught me to like soccer. Other info: Translations Manager at Workforce Language Services, LLC. Student of Spanish to English translation (NYU), and part-time translator. Fan of Chivas (adoring worshiper of el Chicharo), fan of delicious food, fan of language and exploration of it.
