There are days that you probably never forget. For us, that was the day we stood together with our architect Saidee and our foreman Andrés on our property again. This time, it wasn’t just about introducing ourselves; we wanted to determine the exact location – the one … Read more
For two months now, Nala and Hope have been living with us. Two months in which they have practically not taken a single step without a leash. In the first 3 weeks, it wasn’t even possible to think about taking them for a walk. Not because we didn’t trust them. But because we wanted to give them time to get to know us. Time to … Read more
Being friendly doesn’t mean being quick-tempered; being cheap doesn’t mean being cheap; and water suddenly isn’t a given anymore. A few honest things we would have liked to have known earlier before emigrating to Mexico.
After we asked ourselves in the first part of this series whether a dishwasher is even useful on the Baja, we are taking this a step further this time. The more intensively we plan our future lives, the clearer it becomes to us: It’s no longer just about individual devices; it’s about how we manage the resources that we have to … Read more

To this we must add a second crucial factor: we are currently in the height of summer here. The temperatures are so high that many activities outdoors during the day … Read more
When we talk about our future home today, we often say quite naturally: „Our house in the countryside.“ But in reality, that’s not quite true. Our house is only a part of what we dreamed of. Our real dream is much bigger. It’s not just about four walls, a roof, and … Read more
About 100 days ago, we set off for Mexico. With five suitcases and a pretty big dream in our luggage. We knew that our lives would change. We knew that we were leaving behind a lot. And we also knew that a new life didn’t automatically mean a simpler life. But what we didn’t know at the time: … Read more
This post is part 2 of our story about our emigration to Mexico. In the first part we told you why we chose Baja California Sur and what considerations lay behind our decision. Here we now draw a personal conclusion after our first 100 days in Mexico. If we were to look back today – after … Read more
