1. Great website/blog, Susannah! Rick and I willk start here when formulating plans to visit Mexico – in a year or so I hope;
   Love, Deidre xx

   • Thanks Deidre, so glad you like it! I would love to see you both if you come to Mexico and if you want any info, do give me a shout. Susannah x

2. Oh you just made my day with the way you described what is this blog about. I am a Mexican living away from home and it is always nice to hear that people still fall in love with my beautiful country regarding the horrible situation that some areas of the country are going through.
   Thanks so much

   • Lovely to hear from you! I always love when Mexican’s away from home enjoy the blog. I hope it reminds you of your beautiful, enchanting homeland! 🙂

     • It sure helps when I get homesick!

3. Hi Susannah, I love your blog so I nominated you for the Liebster Award, check it out here: http://anewlifeinindia.wordpress.com/2013/09/22/liebster-award/

4. Keep it up! I’m a Mexican living in China and I just love when foreigners don’t let CNN spoil the beauty of the country.It is sad how media portrays only the bad and horrendous things happening. Only parts of the country have been targeted by the drug cartels, but most of Mexico is still that great country that people find fascinating. Thank you for this amazing blog!

   • Thank you so much for taking the time to write to me and for such a lovely comment. Honestly it is these kind of comments that make me love what I do even more. I hope my blog gives you a little touch of home even when far away. I look forward to reading your blog too! Thanks again, and VIVA! 🙂

5. Wow I love your blog!!! It’s so nice to read such beautiful words about my country, giving the opportunity to other people to know a different story, thanks!

   • Thanks so much Nuria! I always love to hear when Mexican’s love the blog, it makes me smile! 🙂

6. Really neat blog!

   • Thanks! Your’s looks great too. Looking forward to reading your upcoming posts!

     • Thank you so much. This is a new concept to my partner in crime Chad and me, but we are hoping the blog will be a success!

     • Well I can already tell that you are passionate about Mexico. Write with that passion and people will respond to that! Good luck and VIVA! 🙂

     • Gracias! Le voy a hechar muchas ganas!

7. I am so very happy to meet you here. I grew up spending most summers in Mexico with relatives, and lived there my sophomore year of high school, going to a Mexican school, to finally learn Spanish. I have a love for Mexico that is deeply embedded in my soul. I had not gone back for many years, until several years ago when my husband and I started going back for vacation. I hope to make many more trips back now. Thanks for following my blog, where I’ve recently been writing about our most recent trip to the Riviera Maya, my first time to that area of Mexico. You are doing a fantastic service to Mexico with this blog! I hope to find some way to collaborate with you at some level. The US press has done a great injustice to Mexico with the hype on crime.

   • Thank you so much Angeline, Mexico is such a special place that it makes my job easy. It is so easy to write about and sooo photogenic. I hope you get to have lots of trips back here! Thanks so much again for your comment, comments like that mean a lot! Saludos!

   • ooh and I loved the photos on your blog! Fantastic!

8. I first traveled to Mexico alone when I was 23…people thought I was crazy. I was there for a month and a half and I didn’t want to come back to the U.S. I have been all over Mexico and can never get enough. Well now (20 years later) I am moving to Mexico – in 3 months! Thank you for sharing the positive about Mexico, and I totally resonate with your love of the country. Thank you for the inspiration!
   P.s. I love Mexican doors too – all the vibrant colors!

   Radita

   • I had a similar story. I travelled here at 23 years old alone…but it only took me 5 years to get back :). I am so delighted for you that you are moving here. It is such a wonderful place to live. Thanks for your lovely comment and mucha suerte!

9. It was lovely to meet you today Susannah, thank you for all the tips and I am going to enjoy reading the rest of your blog.

   • Super to meet you guys too. I think what you are doing is so fantastic and I look forward to the next instalments!

10. I just wanted to say that you are living the life that I can only dream about. I am an American and I have always had a place in my heart for Mexico, the people, and their culture. Im not sure why but it hasbeen a part of me since I was a child too. I have intertwined that love into my personal life too. I married a man that is (asI like to call him) authentically Mexican :-). He is from Oaxaca, he does not speak English (i learned Spanish), and he is defintely indigenous. He speaks four Indian dialects along with Spanish. He is older than me so I would say he lives really old school like his people in Oaxaca and I am blessed to jhave him because I am closer to the culture through him. One day I hope to visit and I wanted to say that you are very lucky! Im glad to see that Im not the only one that has fallen in love with a culture that is not my own!

    • Wow, thanks for your comment Kaitlyn. Yes I am very lucky and and thankful for my life in Mexico everyday. Sounds like you are living the Mexican life a different and just as wonderful way! Look forward to your visit to Mexico and Oaxaca one day 🙂

11. Hi! I am McKenna, and I am a senior in high school. For my English class, we picked a country at the beginning of the year, and have been studying it ever since. We have been asked to reach out to people who live in our chosen countries, and get the scoop on what it is really like to live in that country. If you could take the time to answer some of my questions, I would really appreciate it! Hope to hear from you soon!

    Thank you,

    McKenna

    • Hi McKenna,

      I would be very happy to help you and answer a few questions. My email is info[@]mexicoretold[dot]com, Susannah

12. Hi! Someone put your blog on a list of Mexico blogs worth reading on Pinterest. I run a Facebook group called Blogging Mexico… with the idea of having a single stop to check for new blog posts about Mexico. I would like to invite you to post current and new blog posts. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1596121287353178/

    • Thanks, Leigh. I have joined the group.

13. Hi Susannah. I stumbled onto your blog after reading your BBC article on Ahorita Time. Love it. Glad to see your connection to Mexico has flowered so beautifully.

    • I am so glad that you liked the article Aleisha. As you can see I adore Mexico and the love just keeps on growing. Un abrazo.
