About Us

Hola! And Welcome to Mexico Relocation Guide! If you’re researching how to move to Mexico, I know exactly what you’re going through. You find one answer in a Facebook group, a totally different answer on YouTube, you’re probably consuming a ton of info, and dozens of opinions that contradict each other.

It shouldn’t be this hard to get straight, accurate information—but unfortunately, it is. And that’s EXACTLY why we created Mexico Relocation Guide.

Welcome! We are Dustin and Mariana Lange, owners of Mexico Relocation Guide.

My name is Mariana. I was born in Mexico City, but around 7 years old, we moved to The United States of America. And even though I was officially raised in the U.S., we split most of my life between the USA and Mexico that I truly grew up in both places. So trust me when I say I understand both cultures fully.

I love helping people discover a better life for less here in Mexico. So far, we’ve helped thousands find their perfect destination in Mexico, giving them the opportunity to live debt-free and retire early, or start a new adventure- just like they deserve!

Because I’ve lived in the U.S. and Mexico, I truly understand everything from moving to Mexico to Mexican culture.

I met my husband, Dustin, online in 2013, and the rest is history!

A few years ago, Dustin and I were reflecting and assessing what we truly want out of the future. We were getting tired of the rat race in Austin, Texas.

The cost of living is increasing a lot, and we feel like we might have to work until we die. And I know that many people feel the same way. They know they don’t want to work forever, but they don’t see any other way to afford their life. We looked into a few countries where the cost of living could be lower without sacrificing our quality of life.

We looked at Spain, Portugal, Ecuador, Panama, Costa Rica, and Mexico. Mexico kept coming up as our number one option. I grew up here, for starters, but it also helped that both Dustin and I have spent a lot of time in Mexico and were familiar with various cities and Mexican culture.

I began to research everything I could about moving to Mexico and found that a lot of the information I found online was outdated, confusing, contradicting, or had failed to be accurate. I found a lot of great free resources online about moving to Mexico and retiring in Mexico.

But I also found a lot of terrible and wrong advice.

I’ve done hundreds of hours of research, and with the help of experts, I started this handy website and online course where I share accurate, easy-to-follow, and up-to-date information with YOU in mind.

Mexico Relocation Guide was created to share accurate information about retiring and living in Mexico straight from sources like the Mexican Government, Real Estate Professionals, Immigration Experts, Expat Tax Experts, and the like.

Why listen to us? Well, since 2019, we’ve helped thousands of people move to Mexico the right way. We have over 80k YouTube subscribers, more than 30k newsletter subscribers, and a huge community of experts behind us making sure you get accurate and relevant information.

I want to reassure you that everything in this guide comes from real clients, vetted professionals, and my extensive knowledge and research.

But… it’s not just me…It’s a team effort! 

Dustin (my amazing techie husband and emotional support partner hehe) helps me manage everything website-related. That gives me time to focus on blog posts, videos, and social media. And together, we run Mexico Relocation Guide!

What Makes Us Different?

There’s a lot of information out there about moving to Mexico. Some of it is excellent. Much of it is outdated, incomplete, or flat-out wrong.

Here’s how we do things differently:

• No Kickbacks or Commissions
  We never accept kickbacks, commissions, or under-the-table deals from any of the providers we recommend. Our loyalty is to you—not to service providers. If someone is in our directory, it’s because they’ve proven themselves trustworthy and competent with real clients.
• Continuously Updated
  Mexican bureaucracy changes often- I mean like every week there is something new. What was true last year or last month might not be accurate today. The guide is updated regularly so you’re not making decisions based on information that used to be right.
• Fact-Checked by Experts
  Everything in the guide is reviewed by immigration experts, attorneys, realtors, healthcare brokers, and other professionals in Mexico. You’re not relying on rumors or “what someone heard.”
• We Show You the Real Mexico
  I don’t sugarcoat things. While I do believe Mexico is an amazing country to live in, I know it’s not perfect. So you’ll hear the good, the bad, the pretty, and the ugly. You deserve the full picture before you make big decisions.
• We’ve Helped Thousands Already
  Since 2019, we’ve helped thousands of people from the U.S., Canada, and beyond move to Mexico the right way—avoiding many of the common, expensive mistakes we see others make. Check out our reviews here

I’ve met a lot of people who love living here!

However, I have also met some folks who believed stories they read online of Mexico being a paradise where you can live like royalty on pennies, with all of the comforts of back home.

Some people I’ve met moved to Mexico without visiting first.

Some of these people were greatly disappointed when the reality of their new home was not the rose-colored-glasses vision they had read about online.

So, some people move back home with tremendous financial loss and a lot of unnecessary stress.

Mexico IS NOT for everyone!

To avoid that costly mistake, I highly recommend that you check out our Mexico Relocation Guide before you decide to retire in Mexico.

Our COMPLETE Mexico relocation guide has a lot of helpful information that experts in their fields fact-check so you can have confidence that Mexico is the right place for you!

The guide gives you specific details for getting a Mexican residency visa, healthcare in Mexico, hiring the right immigration expert, moving with pets, and even finding a great rental! I also share with you the contact information of my recommended real estate agents, immigration experts, expat healthcare brokers, and other contacts that can be very useful on your move- And our directory covers MOST OF MEXICO.

If you’ve been dreaming of retiring or living in Mexico and don’t know where to start, this guide is for YOU!

I share the good, the bad, the pretty, and the ugly, so you’ll know if Mexico is right for you! We take care of answering the top questions you’ll have about relocating, so the only thing left to do once you’ve purchased the guide is to pack your bags and explore different areas of Mexico!
