Of course, deciding to relocate is never an easy decision, and many more questions have to be answered – to the satisfaction of everyone involved – before the dream can start to become a reality. Are the people friendly? Is it a good place to raise a family? What are the challenges and impediments? Do I need to know Spanish or become a legal resident?

The answers to all of these questions, by the way, are reassuringly positive.

The people of Los Cabos, like the vast majority of people across México, are warm, friendly and industrious. Los Cabos is in fact a melting pot hat has attracted ambitious workers from all over the country. Yes, Spanish is the official language, but because so many people work in the tourism sector, English is commonly spoken. It’s not difficult to communicate, nor is it difficult to hire support staff.

The transition to life here is, in fact, invariably smooth. That doesn’t mean relocation isn’t a great opportunity to learn another language and culture, and indeed the area’s excellent bilingual private schools are one of many reasons – beyond an active lifestyle – that Los Cabos is an excellent option for families raising children.

It also remains quite easy for newcomers to become temporary or permanent residents of México…or even to acquire dual citizenship. There are local agencies that specialize in this sort of paperwork, just there are companies that specialize, for example, in moving household goods and furniture from the U.S. to Los Cabos.

Because people have been making the decision to relocate for decades now, an infrastructure has developed over time to facilitate the process and alleviate the traditional difficulties. The impediments are very slight and easily overcome.

Of course, life is never very complicated in paradise. That’s one of the reasons it’s paradise...
