Looking for Americans in Playa del Carmen

AnnaE · 04-12-2009

Hi
My name is Anna and I am doing a PhD at the Uni of Southampton (in England) on travel to Mexico, focusing on people who come here to the Riviera Maya from the US.

I was wondering if there is anyone out there who wouldnt mind meeting up with me to share their experience of how they got here to Playa del Carmen and what they think about it and Mexican culture in general? if so that'd be great help and I'd be hugely grateful!!!

Do get in touch if you have the time, my email is aep106[at]soton[dot]ac[dot]uk

Thanks a million!
Anna

Hi. There are certainly a vast number of us Americanse you could speak with. And I am sure lots of us will be happy to speak with you.

Just curious why a Brit is writing about Americans living in Mexico?

I'm not knocking it...Just wondering....
Especially what sort of job does a British Phd get with that type of background?
(sorry, I must be channeling my parents)

It's all so intriguing!

Babaloo, nascarduck3 has no shame

. Plus he is staying at Club Yebo in less then one month. I hope that someone doesn't break in and steal his Bubba Keg

Why the 'have you no shame' question??? I'm confused, I didn't realize my post was offensive!

I'm not British, just doing a PhD there, I'm actually Greek-Mexican so I reckon still kind of unrelated? I did live in the US for 5 years and....Anyways, I'm doing my project on the topic because i love it, i think its fascinating how Mexico's tourist destinations have evolved and what people think about it so yeah, get in touch, I don't bite.

Babaloo was teasing Nascarduck because he was responding immediately to your post. It was not meant to be directed to you.

Fascinating project. Are you doing work in cultural anthropology?

AnnaE · 04-13-2009

Oh hahahahaha thanks for the clarification! i was wondering what it could have been about what i wrote, hehe, now it all makes sense :-)
It's not really cultural anthro per se, my school is almost fully interdisciplinary bit and bobs from sociology, social anthro, and cultural studies mainly.
I've been doing research in central mexico since january, talking with americans visiting and living there, and now I'm here till may 7th looking to do the same and hoping to meet tons of people. Ah, what a place this is!!!

I was going to do my PhD thesis on Americans vacationing in Somalia, but I like your plan better. Do you need an assistant researcher, I work cheap.

Sooner Guy · 04-13-2009

sounds like I need to do a research project as well.....where do I get the funding for that?

AnnaE · 04-13-2009

I wish the budget would stretch so i could hire a ton of research assistants but then again, i can't complain

I was just teasing , I'll not be going to Somalia in the near future. (see pirate thread). They don't like Americans over there.

But I wish you the best of luck with your project, should be interesting and fun at the same time.
