Keep up the good work!

Loving the podcast! Really interesting to hear the stories from around México and the world. It has also been lovely to hear the voices of some dear friends and even fill in some of the gaps in their stories. David I think you and I may even have had a previous working relationship with you, while I was doing some translation work with Ian. This was the time that I realized speaking Spanish and English does not a translator make! Just an idea... maybe you could do a slot about all those Mexican/non-Mexican couples around and hear their stories. Keep up the good work!

Foreigners abroad

I love listening to these podcasts of mainly foreigners living in Mexico but also to hear about a Mexican living in London. Would be great to hear more from Mexicans abroad too.
It’s really interesting to hear how people like myself end up living in another country, how they adapt and the different things they do.
Keep up the good work David!
Maybe one day I’ll volunteer to do one too!!

Foreigners living in Mexico

It’s been very interesting listening to the stories of people from UK and the States who live in different states in Mexico. As a Mexican, learning how it’s been for them to adapt, settle and deal with culture and language problems, as well as listening to the funny anecdotes and the pleasant experiencies they have been through and hearing how they think about the country and the Mexicans sometimes has been surprising and encouraging.
Very great job, David!
