Welcome to the expat life!

I'm going on my second international relocation as a wife. We moved to Sao Paulo, Brazil, about 3 years ago and now we're moving to Mexico City, Mexico.
As I know very well relocating is not easy but it is a choice. So, even with all the issues we have I'll try to make the best out of it!

One Less Thing To Worry About

So our apartment in Sao Paulo has been rented. Managing life in 3 countries will be a little bit easier now. Before we still had to pay condo fees, taxes, water, power and gas bills. It wasn't easy. But it's getting better. So what do I have left?


We are still trying to get internet connection at our flat in Mexico. At the same time we moved into our home in Florida my husband moved to a new flat in Mexico. It is much closer to his work. The previous place was in Santa Fe. The new one is in Polancos. Huge difference on the traffic. The first place was the Haus Suites. It is dog friendly, the apartments were nice, the staff was friendly - although most people couldn't speak english - and we did have internet connection. The only problem was the distance from work. With all the traffic and with the dog in Florida we thought moving would be a good idea.


The new flat is nice, new, modern, walking distance to work and only offers wireless internet connection. But it does not work! We moved to 2 different apartments but still nothing. The connection is slow and is always breaking.  And they don't care! We keep hearing that they will fix the problem "ahorita", so you know what it means, it will never get fixed. Now we're looking for a new place to move to. 


Life back in the US is pretty sweet. And not having to worry about Brazil will make my life a lot easier. But hurricane season is starting and we'll see how it goes. My evacuation plan is Mexico City. With the pets.  let's see how it goes...
