Mexico Week, Missive #3: Mexico for $750? The dream that turns costly without a map.
Mexico can be paradise — but one wrong step can cost you everything...
Close your eyes. Imagine waking up in a sunlit courtyard in Oaxaca. Terracotta walls glowing warm, the scent of fresh tortillas drifting in from the street below. A neighbor waves, invites you to a Sunday comida where laughter spills late into the night.
Now — imagine it all for $750 a month.
It sounds like a dream, doesn’t it? And sometimes…it is.
But here’s the truth no Instagram reel will tell you:
Deposits you’ll never see again — landlords smiling as you hand over $3,000, then vanishing when it’s time to refund.
Border runs at dawn — bleary-eyed, clutching paperwork, praying the guard stamps your passport before your visa expires.
“Cheap” coastal rentals that rival San Diego once you add in $14 margaritas, Uber rides, and high-season markups.
Contracts in Spanish you can’t read — small print that locks you into paying double or strips away your rights.
Lifestyle traps that bleed you dry — imported wine, endless taxis, U.S. streaming bundles that quietly double your monthly spend.
The myth isn’t that Mexico is cheap.
The myth is that all of Mexico is cheap.
Without the map, the dream doesn’t just fade — it drains your wallet, your confidence, and your sense of safety.
That’s why I built the Mexico Soft Landing Plan — the only bridge between romantic vision and harsh reality. It gives you:
City-by-city budgets with the real numbers.
Vetted housing intel that protects you from scams.
Queer-specific insights you won’t find on Google.
This is how you keep the dream alive without stepping into disaster.
Until Sept 16, it’s $97. After that? The price doubles to $197 — and the bonuses vanish:
Instant download of my book No Closets. No Borders.
Live AMA with Mexico expert Shasta Townsend.
Because Mexico can be paradise — or a costly mistake. Step through the right door.

These aren’t on Google. They aren’t in the guidebooks. They’re whispered from one queer traveler to another — rooftop bars without signs, speakeasy clubs, beaches that stay under the radar.
Maps like this aren’t sold. They’re earned. And only insiders get them.

PS: Just got an email from Dan…he picked up a copy of the Portugal Soft Landing Plan a couple of weeks ago and says “Love the Portugal plan. Looks like we may end up there in 3-6 months for a year…” Smart movers lock in early. The ones who hesitate? They pay double.
Thanks, Dan!
