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
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
When we decided to move to Mexico, it was never about simply leaving everything behind and seeing what would happen.

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

Here we now draw a personal conclusion after our first 100 days in Mexico. If we were to look back today – after … Read more
We are at home and are preparing our dinner right now. Basically, a completely normal evening. „Normal“ in our Baja neighborhood is, after all, a very flexible term. Because our street is kind of like a small lifeline. Everything just passes by here.
