What have been the highlights of your time in this country? Best trips or experiences?

Watching the stars at Boca Chica beach, eating on the beach at South Padre, travelling to Mexico City, having incredible tacos and Mexican seafood, interesting work. Visiting Quinta Mazatlan in McAllen or Sabal Palm Sanctuary in Brownsville. Learning about the unique border culture. - Aug 2021


Work is rewarding. We never flew out of Matamoros to other Mexican cities but were told that was inexpensive and great. - Apr 2018


We made a trip to Mexico City and loved seeing the sights there. - Aug 2016


The weather is generally ok, although it can get hot. There are professional opportunities to travel througout Mexico. The work is interesting. The Brownsville zoo is actually pretty nice, and you can wake up and be in Houston or Austin by lunch. - Aug 2015


Sadly but honestly, the highlight of living here is the ease of travel through the US. There isn't much to do in Matamoros and travel is rather restrictive in Mexico, so it's easy to take long weekend trips throughout the US. - Feb 2012
