curiouscanuck is on a distinguished road

Originally from canada. Expat in mexico.
Red face 1st timer, looking for advice.

Hello all, i am new here.

I plan on going to mexico in late oct early nov just to get some world
experience and was looking for some advice.

I want to stay for 4-6 months but i won't be working there.

I want to rent/live somewhere kind of off the beaten path, non touristy
type living in a smaller community.

I haven't narrowed down the place i want to go yet, but somewhere
along the ocean would be nice, although not necessary.

What do you think my expenses would be per month if i didn't eat
out a whole lot, and got a relatively cheap apartment?

I am not very materialistic, won't be bringing a car and will be doing
most of my traveling in mexico either by bus, peddle bike, or good ol' fashioned
walking.

I am living rather cheaply in canada now as it is, my expenses being about
$1000 Canadian per month which is below poverty line here, but i don't really mind since i am very happy with what i have, and really know how to stretch a
dollar.

Anyways, thanks for any help you can give,
especially about cost of living would be greatly appreciated.
