Why subscribe?

Do you ever sit at your office desk, or in your home, or in a coffee shop or restaurant and think to yourself, “maybe I should change my life?” Do you follow websites or social accounts dedicated to amazing homes in countries that aren’t your own? Have you ever visited another country and wondered, “I wonder what it would be like to live here?”

A Year in Oaxaca chronicles the life of myself and my wife as expats from the United States who moved to a small town in Oaxaca, a state in southern Mexico famed for its food, art, and culture. In this newsletter I write about what life is like here, about buying and renovating a house in Mexico, about having a son born outside of the United States, and about what it’s been like to what it’s been like to leave behind our home country during an era of great strife and uncertainty.

Free subscribers to A Year in Oaxaca will receive one free newsletter entry per week with occasional bonus content. Paid subscribers receive the full experience: full access to the newsletter and archives and additional bonus content like extra photos, shopping and dining guides, and more.

Subscribing to A Year in Oaxaca also lets you post comments after every entry and engage both with other readers and directly with me. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to become an expat or to live in Mexico being a part of this community may give you the insight or answers you’re looking for.
