Mexico/Expert Profile
Expertise
My husband and I have travelled extensively within mainland Mexico for over 15 years. We prefer quiet, locally owned accomodations over resorts. Once we retired, we spent 6 years RVing in Mexico during the winters, travelling along the coastlines and inland. We love the people, the climate and the culture, and we are still working hard at our Spanish. We now live in Zihuatanejo during the winters, and in Canada during the summers.
Experience in the area
Due to our extensive travel and our many wonderful experiences, I have published a book so that others may share what we have experienced. You can learn about my book at www.livingthedreaminmexico.com
Education/Credentials
I was a teacher in Winnipeg for many years. I hold several degrees in music and in education, and was fortunate to have a wonderful career not only as a teacher, but also as a classical musician. I marvel at how very different my life is now.

2011-01-15 landing in Cancun:
I don't think you will find anything "non-touristy" in Cancun. There are many more "out of the way" places to consider which are a short bus ride from Cancun- like Puerto Morelos. Also Playa del Carmen
