Hola! Bon jour! Orana! Yes, that one is real, pronounced yo-rah-nah in French Polynesia (think Tahiti and Bora Bora).
Welcome to my blog, the part time expat. Why only part time? I’ll explain as I go.
I’m a midwestern gal from the small town of Cloverdale, Indiana, about one hour west of Indianapolis. I love where I came from, so much that I built a home and raised my own children on the very farm where I grew up. But I have learned through my 57 years on this planet (Did I call myself a”gal”? OK, old lady) that loving where you are and possessing wanderlust can and do co-exist.
My husband and I spend half of our time in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico and half in our hometown in the US. Some of our closest friends are in SJD. These friends tell us “welcome home” when we arrive in Cabo. I have to admit, it is an amazing thing to hear. But likewise, it is amazing to come “home” to the states and spend time with my family on our farm in Indiana. We can enjoy beautiful, crisp midwestern fall weather, snow (STILL not my favorite!) and celebrate the holidays with our three children, two grandchildren, all the significant others, and our parents, all of whom, blessedly, are alive and well and live nearby.
We have received some criticism for not being “all in” on the living abroad thing. But to dispel this, we have become permanent residents of Mexico (not renouncing our US citizenship), we volunteer with several local charities and organizations in the Cabo area, and we own a home and vehicle in Mexico, meaning, just like in the US, we pay taxes and contribute to the local economy. But the best part is getting to know the Mexican people, learning the language (not easy at our age!) and enjoying the amazing culture of the Baja.
The purpose of this blog is to highlight travel experiences that I have been blessed to enjoy, in Mexico and in other parts of the world. I also hope to include travel experiences from others. But mostly, I want to demonstrate that when it comes to travel vs.non-travel, you really can have it all!
