Victoria Zigler asked Lorena Cassady:

What made you move to Mexico? And why do you say you only live there "most of the year"?

Lorena Cassady Thanks for the question, Victoria! I'm going to change my bio! It's an old habit from the days when I spent more time every year in the States. I moved to Mexico at the end of a process of becoming bilingual and realizing that I loved the place after many visits to Chiapas and Oaxaca. It is the most evocative and fascinating place I've ever been. I am surrounded by Zapotec and Mixtec ruins, 17th century churches, beautiful art and architecture, and many vibrant indigenous cultures. I also found that I need some distance from my own culture to stay sane.
