Live your dream
I connected with Val awhile ago and have enjoyed watching her journey take shape. Recently, she sold everything and moved to a city in Mexico sight unseen to pursue a dream. I’m so glad she agreed to be interviewed, and I hope you enjoy reading her story and that it inspires you to live your dream. You recently sold most of your possessions, including your home, to create a new life for yourself. Where did you move and why did you...
Visiting the Tulum Ruins

Tonight we hop on a plane and begin a 10-1/2-hour flight, Tigger’s first transatlantic, and head to Spain. Naturally, I have some mixed feelings. Mexico is a great country. I love the people and the culture, and, I’ll freely admit, the food. Mexican food is one of the most popular in the world. Even though I’m...
What coming back to Mexico taught me
When we left Mexico over a year ago, I was so excited to see new places and be in a part of the world I hadn’t visited. We loved Mexico and Central America, but we loved South America even more. When we decided to return to Mexico for an interesting business venture, it was with mixed feelings. I learned some interesting things in the process.
