Lori Payne
International Patient Coordinator
I originally moved to Guadalajara from San Diego in September 2009 with a plan to stay, for 6 months. I never left…. except to go back and clean out my storage unit! I had been taking Spanish for about 3 years prior to coming here and always took more classes on every visit. Many people ask me, “but what made you move to Mexico?” The truth is, I didn’t plan it but every time I came here, I was never ready to leave! Also, the friendly culture, wonderful food and great weather were plenty of reasons to keep coming back! I love to travel and see other parts of Mexico, too! And, while I have only seen a hand-full of cities, there are many more on my list!
I am a single, blond female who has lived alone since moving here and I have never felt unsafe in any way! More often than not, before people knew I lived in the area, they would ask me if I was lost or needed help. After this long, they now know I am just part of the neighborhood and now, sometimes, people even stop me to ask me for directions.
Although I originally came here just for 6 months, I decided to complete my TEFL certificate upon arrival in order to teach English classes. Luckily, one of the owners of a school I taught at received an email from her friend who was a doctor, a plastic surgeon, and their clinic was looking for a native English speaker to work with people from the U.S. and Canada. I came for the interview and started working just one week later. I now have over 7 years working as a patient coordinator to assist people who are looking to come to Guadalajara for surgeries. Since my background was client management, it turned out it was the perfect fit, for everyone!
