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. The gas supplier, the water vendor, the ice cream truck, the fruit vendor, the junk metal collector – and sometimes… Read more
Wir waren nie Minimalisten. Wir haben nur irgendwann verstanden, was uns wirklich reich macht. Wenn wir heute darüber sprechen, dass wir in Mexiko weniger besitzen als früher, könnte schnell der Eindruck entstehen, wir wären plötzlich zu Minimalisten geworden. Das wäre allerdings ziemlich weit von der Wahrheit entfernt. Wir waren nie Menschen, die besonders asketisch gelebt … 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.

„Have you ever experienced a summer in La Paz?“ This question was actually asked by almost everyone when we arrived here in May. And when we then told them that we had just arrived, we usually got that very special, knowing smile. Kind of like this: „Well, just wait and see…“ 😄… 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
Sometimes we really wonder if we’re crazy. For weeks now we’ve been dealing with a question we probably wouldn’t have thought about a week ago: Which oven should we buy? It sounds pretty unpromising at first. But it’s not. At least not if you’re building a house in the middle of the wilderness in Baja California Sur. In Austria … Read more
Wer zum ersten Mal auf die Baja California Sur kommt, denkt wahrscheinlich: „Hier wächst doch gar nichts.“Überall Felsen, Kakteen, Staub und jede Menge Sonne.Ehrlich gesagt haben wir das vor unserem ersten Urlaub hier auch gedacht.Bis wir begonnen haben, genauer hinzusehen.Denn plötzlich merkt man: Diese Landschaft lebt.Und zwar unglaublich vielfältig. Und das ist keine Übertreibung: Diese … Read more
