The dream and the why..

Hello and welcome to Kenny´s Mexican Life experience..

In this blog I will share my experiences and all the ups and down´s that follows a change of countries from a small, rich and modern Denmark to a large, fascinating and beautiful Mexico with it´s fair share of problems. The groundwork and initial paperwork with fancy stamps and all has been done, the idea-book is full so now it´s all up to little me and the sungods to guide me through the small and great challenges on the tortilla-sprinkled road, to become a self-sustainable dane living in Mexico...

My mexican dream has been cooking for many years now.. I guess ever since my first visit in 1994 as a youngster without any clue of the outside world... and who almost drowned in the undertow of Puerto Escondido´s treacherous waters.. (had to be saved by a Yankee surfer..!!) so now the job has been quit and the plans made... It´s time for the big(gest) move.

Mexico.. isn´t it dangerous? many people ask me. And sure it has it´s share of danger.. more than old Denmark anyway, but as long as one avoid entering the drug and police industry and trust ones old backpacker instincts and luck, I´m sure it will be allright.. well it has to be I guess, because nothing´s gonna stop this dreamer in the midst of his biggest and boldest personal project..

I chose Mexico for it´s friendly people, colorful and amazing culture, fascinating history and last but not least it´s beautiful and diverse nature... Almost all kinds of nature is found here, from snowcapped volcanos over desert and lush tropical forests to perfect beaches.. all full of a variety of animals seldom seen in one country alone.

The second reason is that it is still pretty cheap and on my guide salary and a few photo gigs I can lean back and take time out for my own photo expeditions around this very interesting country.. So start holding your breath.. "MEXICO REDISCOVERED" the photobook is in my blod and soon my lens will find it´s first motive... and click..!

5 days to takeoff....
