about us

 ¡Hola!

We are Daryn & Celia. Welcome to our wild journey of relocating to beautiful Lake Chapala in Jalisco, Mexico. We’ve been together for almost 30 years, and this is our grandest adventure yet.
 

We created Lakeside Lista because we realized that the local networks and communication channels of Lakeside life needed a serious digital upgrade.
 

  • If you’ve ever found yourself lost in the endless scroll of local social media groups trying to find a simple answer . . .

  • If you learned about a great event the day after it happened . . .

  • If you got six different answers from three different people . . .

. . . you know what we mean.
 

What is Lakeside Lista?
 

In Spanish, lista has a double meaning: it means list, but it also means ready
 
We will curate and share honest listings and resources, offering a glimpse of life through first-hand, first-person experiences. The goal is to always provide verified information from widely trusted sources. Or to let you know we are working on it and maybe you can help

​​Help Us Serve the Community

That's where YOU come in. We can’t map this place alone, and we will always be asking:

  • What are we missing?

  • Did we get that right?

  • Gossip or facts?

  • How does this impact the local community, especially our Mexican neighbors?

We wanted something better, cleaner and mobile-friendly - with verified information and zero gossip. Imagine a space that acts as El Centro for community resources and a Starter Kit for new arrivals, visitors and those who are making plans.​

​​​

We genuinely look forward to hearing from you. Your insights, comments, and experiences will make this site even more valuable for everyone.

¡Bienvenidos y Bienvenidas!
Daryn y Celia
