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. 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
Our everyday life today is still far from the everyday life we will have in the future. We are currently still living in La Paz and at the same time busy building and organizing our future life. 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
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.

Because our street is kind of like a small lifeline. Everything just passes by here. The gas supplier, the water vendor, the ice cream truck, the fruit vendor, the junk metal collector – and sometimes… Read more
When Nala and Hope moved in with us in June 2026, we didn't know exactly what awaited us. We only knew: There are two young sisters. Two Baja girls. One of them is a little energy bomb. The other is quite shy. And both had obviously experienced more in their short lives than they actually should have. The private animal rescue had told us … Read more
Hardly any topic is discussed here as controversially as the question of what impact the increasing influx of immigrants and expats has on Baja California. Are we a blessing for the region – or will we eventually become a problem ourselves? The honest answer is: Probably both. Because emigration brings opportunities. But it also brings changes, … Read more
Sometimes there are things you never knew existed before. For example, scleral lenses. And it is exactly with these special contact lenses that Romed has been working intensively in recent weeks. But let’s start from the beginning. When the cornea suddenly starts to have problems, Romed has keratoconus. In this case, the cornea is deformed … Read more
Anyone who has ever seen our property on a map will usually quickly ask the same question: „Wait a minute… there’s really nothing there?“ And that’s exactly what it is. From the last paved road, it’s still about ten kilometers over a sand path to our property. For many people, that would probably be a nightmare. For us, it’s… Read more
