About Me
Former network administrator & IT support technician who made a "great escape" plan with my partner in 2008. In 2011 we loaded our touring bicycles & left it all behind in order to fulfill a dream of living simply & focusing on work meaningful to us. One year & over 13,000 kilometers later, after travelling from Vermont to California, through Baja, Sinaloa, Nayarit, & Jalisco, we rolled in to Chapala. Only intended to stay a few months but 5+ years later we find ourselves still in MX. Now, as full-time house & pet sitters, we bicycle between assignments (most recently in Jalisco, Michoacan & Guanajuato), which allows us to work remotely (as website designer/support tech, ecological/environmental consultants & property rental owners), & volunteer locally/internationally (with a focus on women's empowerment/human rights, ecological sanitation/water conservation, and environment/sustainable living). Grateful we took a leap; am loving life without regrets.
