Congrats on 'surviving' year 1!! "Does the heartbreak of leaving home ever truly fade?"--I also don't think it ever does, but now 'home' is different, right? And when I read about your new project, I laughed out loud wondering how you were going to 'send' postcards from Mexico. Because as we know, mail service is different. In Costa Rica, there is no mail service and locals would ask us 'what do you get in the mail in the U.S.?'. Good question!

Love learning more about your life in Mexico, because my husband and I may relocate there in a year or two. Would love a post about the initial costs to move there compared to how much you save over time. Also the requirements and effort necessary to become residents vs short-term tourists.

The new project is awesome. I look forward every week to what’s up with you and Andrea in Mexico or wherever your travel takes you.
