[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With the current security concerns I would not go to Mexico. I love the people and the food, but last time we went I didn’t feel safe.

I would pick Peru, Costa Rica or Uruguai. Haven’t lived in these countries, but have visited and liked the people.  [/quote]

Mexico is a big country. Just like a lot of people don't feel safe in certain parts of the USA--some areas are safer than others, yet we live here and take precautions.[/quote]

Much of Mexico is unsafe, and the parts which are ok are only relatively safe because of enhanced security required to protect the tourist trade.  Voluntarily choosing to live there, anywhere, is a roll of the dice in terms of safety, much more so than the obvious inner city problem areas in the U.S.  The cartels control and operate in vast swaths of Mexico while serious crime in the U.S. is highly localized and concetrated.

If you want to live somewhere inexpensive and Spanish-speaking, there are better options, like Spain.  [/quote]
