Mariana Lange

Mariana Lima-Lange was born and raised in Mexico before later moving to South Texas in the U.S. For years, she split her time between both countries, giving her a rare insider perspective on Mexican culture, daily life, and the practical realities of living in Mexico. Fully bilingual and bicultural, Mariana understands the challenges and rewards of relocating to Mexico better than most “living in Mexico” experts.

In 2019, she launched Mexico Relocation Guide to make the process easier and less overwhelming for others. Since then, Mexico Relocation Guide has helped hundreds of thousands of people move to Mexico THE RIGHT WAY. Clients rely on her honest, up-to-date, and realistic guidance through blog posts, YouTube videos, relocation tours, and the Complete Mexico Relocation Online Guide — an all-in-one resource packed with step-by-step instructions and access to a private directory of vetted contacts across Mexico.

Whether you’re dreaming, planning, or packing, Mariana and the Mexico Relocation Guide team are here to help you move to Mexico THE RIGHT WAY.
