My move to México
So I haven't gotten a job as a massage therapist yet so I decided to try for México for a bit. My dad lives there and my sister was visiting so I figured why not?! Worst case scenario I live in México for a month.
Driving was not so bad, but I am eternally grateful for my new friends I was able to follow from Nogales, Arizona to San Carlos, México. I got lost leaving Tucson so I know I wouldn't have done so well. Also, my car is highly unreliable, but good thing auto work is cheaper in México. I drove the entire way on the 15, paying tolls for my safety. I saw a strike in the town of Vicam , large guns, and scarey drivers, but the hardest part of the trip was adjusting to the crazy driving. If the speed limit says 100 kph, drive 80 mph, if it drops to 60 kph, drive 60 mph. It's madness, and people drive all over the road not caring about right or left and when you turn left you pull over right first. But it works. Just drive safe and slow for towns.
Obregón is a wealthier city. It has poor people too but people have cars for the most part and wear nice cloths. The pollution is bad and the roads are crazy, but the food is fresh and cheap and the people are nice.
