This is so awesome! The world works in mysterious ways, that's for sure.

I related so much to nearly everything you said about trying to live even a mediocre life in America. I Canadian and we have the same problem up here. NOTHING is affordable anymore, especially for single income people with dogs.

I'm happy for you that this house found you!

Thanks Kristi! This house is a little rough but compared to the one that another lady showed me with no roof, no doors and no windows (?!) funny...it's a big improvement. Plenty of Canadians down in Mexico for sure! We'll leave the light on for ya! (probably would want a better town than where I currently am...not many come here on PURPOSE) but I chat with expats who have left for good not just snowbirds. But everyone walking around with their worldly possessions in a sack and doing #vanlife is for the birds! The great real estate migration continues.

That's the kind of experience I live for lol. It sounds stupid but I used to go to those kind of places "on purpose" just to write a good story. I've lived in Jamaica a couple of times and it can be as rough as some of the things you've described but I wouldn't trade those experiences for anything!

Truth! I think I'm ruined for returning to "civilization" though I'd love a new pair of PANTS and some parmesan cheese and unscented toilet paper but at what cost?
