Introduction
I host the Overseas Life Redesign podcast. In 2010 my husband Tom and I left SoCal on our 50 ft sailboat and moved to FL for 6 years (See www.sailblogs.com/members/santorini for our blog) After 6 years we decided to move to Isla Mujeres, MX. We purchased a fabulous Oceanfront vacation rental (www.facebook.com/islamujeresvacay). I'm a former International Business Attorney and Tom is a retired electrical engineer and licensed Captain. We own a property management company along with the villa. My goal is to help teach others how to redesign their life overseas.
I am a female.
I am married. I am self-employed.
I joined expat.com on 12 March 2017.

Favorite place on the Planet! Been going to IM since 1993.
Need to find tennis courts!
Lots of Tennis! Some boating.
Warmer weather, better culture.
Not good for sailing our 50 ft ketch.
Made new friends, started a new business
Nice beaches, no traffic, inexpensive place to live
Too cold in winter, no middle class, very violent Summer storms/weather.
Too many to name!
Weather, people, lots of places to travel to a short distance away.
Traffic, expensive cost of living, water was too cold, limited sailing destinations.
Great place to grow up and be FROM!
WAAAY TOO COLD for this Tropical Gal!
