When we moved to Baja, we got used to a lot of things. To the heat. To the desert. To sand. To coyotes, foxes, and maybe one day a puma, who wanders through our property somewhere in the distance. But of course, eventually the question arises: „And what about the poisonous animals?“ Well, there are those. And they are not… Read more
Jahrelang haben wir auf diesen Moment hingearbeitet. Wir haben geplant, gerechnet, gehofft, gezweifelt und immer wieder davon gesprochen, wie es sein wird, eines Tages wirklich in Mexiko zu leben. Irgendwann wurde dieser Traum so groß und gleichzeitig so fern, dass er fast unwirklich wirkte. Und dann war er plötzlich da. Wir saßen im Flugzeug. Stundenlang. … Read more
Bereits lange vor unserer Auswanderung wurden wir immer wieder gewarnt: Die mexikanische Bürokratie sei für Europäer kaum nachvollziehbar, unglaublich kompliziert und vor allem nervenaufreibend.

We already bought our property in a fideicomiso or company, right? He tells us. Now the next part of our story begins: building a house in the wilderness on our 35 hectares near Todos Santos.

Without a car, it’s hard to get by in Baja California Sur in a sensible way. The question becomes more difficult: which car, and what we really had to watch out for when buying it. We came across a term that was completely new to us at first – the „Auto Chocolate“. What lies behind it, what risks there are when buying a car here, and how we can … Read more
„Is it really that much cheaper to live in Mexico? We hear this question almost as often as the question of whether it is safe here. The honest answer is: Yes. But not everywhere, not with everything, and certainly not automatically. Because Mexico is not the country where you get off the plane and … Read more
When friends in Austria first hear that we are building our lives in Baja California Sur, we often see the same questioning look before the question even arises: Why exactly there? And we understand them. Mexico is huge – a country full of contrasts, with countless stretches of coastline, cities, and regions. So why did we … Read more
Before we moved abroad, one question preoccupied us for almost a year: Should we bring our household belongings to Mexico or buy everything new on site?
