Bette moved to Mexico in 2014. She spent 30 years in the Yukon working as a paralegal and notary before moving south to Saskatchewan for 10 years then to Mexico. She told her friends - "I want to be somewhere that it doesn't take 1/2 hour to get dressed to go outside in the winter." After much research and exploratory visits around Mexico, Chapala ticked all the right boxes. She has two sons who love the fact that their mom moved somewhere warm for them to visit.
