ABOUT

As a Mexican lawyer, living and working in Mexico City, I first moved to Bonn in 2006. Despite expecting a change in weather, language and culture, I underestimated the size of the challenge. My husband, a European citizen, was familiar with the culture and fluent in German but for me the situation was not easy. Adjusting to my new life in Germany required substantial efforts and sometimes led to misunderstandings; some of them funny, others less.

In the meantime, our family was blessed with two sons. We lived and worked in Mexico, the UK and the US, from where our path always brought us back to Bonn. I gathered substantial experience of what it takes to successfully relocate to & from Bonn taking into consideration the requirements of the entire family and sometimes subtle cultural differences.

This is how “Moving to Bonn” was born. Today, I am handing on my experience and “lessons learnt” to people who are in the process of calling Bonn their new home – for a short or longer period. More than a job, it is my passion to find the right solutions for my clients and have them enjoy their time in Bonn.

I am looking forward to be in touch and make your transition as seamless as possible!
