In October 2012, I drove 6,800 kms with my artist husband, Ric Kokotovich, and my dog Iggy, to spend 6 months in our adopted city of Merida. Leaving the fast paced world of Calgary behind, I packed my books, art and entrepreneurial spirit, and set off to explore what lay beyond the borders that had become my life. In October 2013 we hit the road south again, hoping to find out what ‘living the dream’ really means. This is my adventure.

Alison – Glad we caught up with each other and Bob in Calgary last week. Great to see the incredble AW vibe continues on the international circuit. Here’s the book I mentioned that may be of interest. Keep well. On Mexican Time: A New Life in San Miguel by Tony Cohan
So great to see you too Mike. And thanks for the encouragement! I think I have read some of the book you mentioned (my dad has it) but I will give it a re-read as I am sure my perspective has changed! You might like some of what this blogger has to say as she and her husband have lived in Mexico for some time now – ex New Yorkers and loving Mexico City! Stay in touch amigo 🙂
