Taner Sirin – General Director and Tour Director
Taner fell in love with all things Mexican at an early age when he met Rudy Ibarra on the soccer fields of Santa Barbara, California. Little did he know at that time what an influence this lifelong friend would have on his future.
After many years and miles apart from each other, they reunited in 2006. Ibarra invited Taner to visit Lake Chapala, Mexico. Taner innocently asked “Where is Lake Chapala?” He was soon to discover paradise
and it didn’t take long before he was hooked. We have a saying here at Lakeside that originated with Neill James who wrote: “Once the dust of Mexico settles on your heart, you can never go home again.”
Taner realizes that after traveling to more than 30 countries over his lifetime that he is home here in Ajijic, Mexico. Insights gained from his travels, makes him an ideal person to lead Go Mexico Way and to help others discover their own paradise in Mexico.
Alelhi Miramontes, Executive Assistant
Born in Guadalajara, but raised in Ajijic from the age of 8, Ale says that she did not really appreciate living Lakeside until she returned from college and could appreciate the area as an adult. Upon completion of a degree program in Communications, Ale started worked for City Hall and is proud of the fact that she quickly moved into the position of Coordinator of Social Programs. Here at Go Mexico Way we are also very proud of Alelhi. She is very efficient in managing the many facets of her job and much to her surprise has great people skills! She is the perfect person to be Administrative Assistant in a fast moving, energetic company.
She enthusiastically endorses what Go Mexico Way offers to the community, “A large part of the population in the Lake Chapala Area benefit directly or indirectly from tourism. Even people not directly involved in the tourism industry benefit as the area develops and there is more affluence within the community. I want the whole community to enjoy the good things that happen as people from other countries choose Chapala either as a destination to live in or to visit on vacation. I am so proud to be a part of Go Mexico Way!”
