Daily Postcard Swapping My Wristwatch for Flip-flops in Mexico Date: 12/02/2008  I left my hectic lifestyle in the Silicon Valley for a life fun and relaxation in Mexico. Dear International Living Reader, When my husband and I announced that we were going to live our dream and move to La Paz, the capital of Baja California Sur in Mexico, our friends were aghast. No one believed that I could pull the plug and disappear to a hammock on the beach. It’s eight years later and we still live in La Paz…and we have no intention of going back. We moved here to unwind, slow down, repair our shattered nerves, and live a life of meaning that was not overrun with malls and freeways and the need to keep up. My sister visited us recently and was envious of our lifestyle. Dear International Living Reader,When my husband and I announced that we were going to live our dream and move to La Paz, the capital of Baja California Sur in Mexico, our friends were aghast. No one believed that I could pull the plug and disappear to a hammock on the beach.It’s eight years later and we still live in La Paz…and we have no intention of going back. We moved here to unwind, slow down, repair our shattered nerves, and live a life of meaning that was not overrun with malls and freeways and the need to keep up. My sister visited us recently and was envious of our lifestyle.Before our move to La Paz, I lived a high-profile Silicon Valley life. I wrote consumer advocacy columns for Metro and was a contributor to the San Jose Mercury News. I held monthly homebuyer workshops for women. I was the “go-to” person for quick TV sound bites regarding women’s rights, San Jose politics, and real estate. I had a personal shopper at Nordstrom and my hairdresser opened his shop early to do my hair on days I made live TV appearances in San Francisco. Now, wardrobe staples for me are flip-flops and linen drawstring pants.We had been visiting Mexico since 1989, seeking the perfect retirement spot. We needed to have a certain level of infrastructure, ease of travel, good medical care, a reasonable climate, and even job opportunities. I needed to be near or on the beach with a nice view…and away from urban noise.I wanted to drop out, write, read, and sew. Off with the fake nails…and the wristwatch went back into the jewelry box!We visited southern Baja in 1997 and 1998, and bought some land on the Pacific side, south of Todos Santos and north of Cabo San Lucas. We visited twice a year and bought a house. Since near-total isolation was not for us, we decided on La Paz. Our house was located in a community across the bay from the city, surrounded by a biological preserve with ever-changing views, sea and shore birds, and neighbors close, but not too close. We later sold that house and bought a lot on the beach in the same neighborhood and built our dream home. It has a guesthouse, which we sometimes rent to augment our income.We immediately enrolled in a Spanish-language school and immersed ourselves in the language. Many businesses in La Paz have English-speaking staff, as do the immigration office, banks, hotels, restaurants, tour companies, and real estate agents. Our doctors speak English, too. But to become part of the community and get to know people other than Americans and Canadians, Spanish is a must. As long as you try, the locals will smile and help you along. I make many blunders in Spanish and am willing to laugh at myself.La Paz is booming, with new homes and buildings springing up daily, but because it is the capital and hub of ecotourism, the city will not become like Cabo San Lucas, its glitzy sister to the south.It is safe to walk at night and crime is minimal. Sunday evenings are for enjoying an ice cream cone, walking the Malecon (boardwalk), and watching people roller skating, riding bikes, walking dogs, drumming on the beach, or making sand sculptures. It is rare for us to come to town and not meet people we know.It has not always been a perfect paradise, but it is a wonderful, tranquil pace of life. We can never go back to the U.S. We cannot afford the cost of U.S. health care. We eat superior food; we do not live by a clock; status symbols mean less; and we have time for our friends, walking on the beach, lingering over an espresso, and doing nothing.By Susan FogelFor International LivingEditor’s Note: In the December issue of International Living magazine, Susan tells us in great detail about her new life overseas. She explains how she can easily stay in touch with her family and friends, and just how little she pays for fresh food and excellent health care. Subscribers read the full article here (URL).
