Aus einer Idee wird Sabines Bakeaway
Innerhalb eines Monats ist aus einer Idee Sabines Bakeaway geworden – mit Gasofen-Feldforschung, Baja-tauglicher Deko, einem Backlogist namens Romed und einem Eröffnungstermin: Samstag, 24. Oktober.
Hausbau in der Wildnis – Teil 4
Wir waren wieder einmal mit Andrés verabredet, um beim Hausbau die nächsten Schritte zu besprechen. Da es momentan täglich regnet und das letzte Stück des Weges für unseren Wagen eine ziemliche Herausforderung wäre, hatten wir uns wieder an der üblichen Stelle verabredet, sodass er uns mit seinem Jeep den Rest der Strecke mitnehmen konnte. Wir … Read more
Frust statt Lust – oder mein verzweifelter Versuch, auf der Baja meine ersten Donauwellen zu backen
Es gibt schwarze Montage. Allerdings wusste ich bisher nicht, dass das auch für Dienstage gilt. Aber es gibt Tage, da sollte man am besten gar nichts anfassen. Das Problem ist nur: Man weiß es vorher nicht. Heute hatte Romed Spanischunterricht und danach wollte er ins Gym. Also für mich die perfekte Gelegenheit, mich in der … Read more
Building a house in the wilderness: Part 3
A few days ago, Andrés sent us photos from our construction site. And to be honest: At first, we were quite confused. Because what we saw in the photos was completely different from what we had previously known about home construction. No foundation, no walls – nothing we were used to seeing when building a house. … Read more
The big challenge – with obstacles
The Kaiserschmarrn for Manuela It’s finally here. Our container has found its way to us – and with it, the things we brought from Austria have arrived as well. And of course, my baking supplies. We have already detailed the entire container odyssey in our book „Wir wollten mehr Meer“, so we’ll leave the details for now… Read more
A visit we didn't expect
Everyone who regularly visits our market probably knows Marcella. The place where the market takes place belongs to Marcella. But she is not just the woman who owns the property there. Marcella is the good soul of the market. She makes phenomenal good fish tacos that are always sold out immediately. She chats with everyone, helps wherever she can… Read more
Water on the Baja – why we suddenly think about it all differently
When we lived in Austria, we never really thought about water. You just turn on the tap. Water comes out. Done. Where it comes from, how it is processed, and the route it took to get to the tap – these are things that don’t really interest us in everyday life. Here in Baja California Sur … Read more
Moving abroad as a couple – when the adventure turns into everyday life
Emigration is not just an organizational challenge. It is also an emotional roller coaster. We have now experienced this not only ourselves, but also received confirmation from many other emigrants. There are periods of great anticipation and euphoria, then again doubts, uncertainty, stress and sometimes even fear. And of course, a couple’s emigration can also be the … Read more
Not courageous, but prepared: Why we knew that Mexico was the right path
When we decided to move to Mexico, it was never about simply leaving everything behind and seeing what would happen. Of course, we knew that a new life in another country would bring challenges with it. A different everyday life, a different language, different rules, and many things that you only have to understand after a while. But Mexico was… Read more
Driving in Mexico – why we are quite relaxed today
When we first got into the car in Mexico, that was one of the things that concerned us the most in advance. How do the intersections work? How do people drive here? What is allowed, what is not? Coming from Austria, where much is signposted, regulated, and predictable, traffic in a new country seems more chaotic and … Read more
