CG and I talk about spending money for lodging as we travel between house sits in the USA. We shot this video near Montrose, PA in Northeast Pennsylvania during our drive up to New England. If you’re in that area and you want to check out a delicious and funky dining experience, give Luna Wine and Table a try, we loved it.
Are you thinking about changing jobs, or changing careers? In this podcast episode, CG and I compare some of our changing job experiences over the years. Our desire to travel has had huge impacts on our occupational choices. And as our bodies and available technology change, our job choices evolve as well.
CG and I are house sitting for the summer in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, so we thought we would discuss some of the experiences we have had visiting the Great Smoky Mountain National Park through the years. And we’ll throw in a few facts about the Smokies, just for fun.
CG and I need to figure out where we’ll travel and live this fall and winter. We are currently house sitting, but our housesitting assignment will end in 4 to 6 weeks (if not sooner!). Traveling slow often provides the best advantage for finding longer-term travel deals. However, to take advantage of those deals, often you have to plan ahead. And in the current climate of travel uncertainty, making longer term winter travel plans is a bit risky. This travel podcast episode is basically CG and I talking aloud about our potential options for the coming six months.

We spent 5 weeks in Ajijic Mexico and in the nearby town of San Antonio Tlayacapan along the shore of Lake Chapala in Mexico. The Lake Chapala area and Ajijic in particular are popular destinations for US and Canadian retirees, especially during the winter months. There are many services and businesses that cater to the expat community, and English is readily spoken. It’s also pretty pricey relative to the other areas we’ve visited so far in Mexico, but still very affordable compared to the USA, and especially so if you put a little effort into managing your budget.
I expected living in Mexico to be less expensive, and I’ve not been disappointed. We get considerably more bang for our US bucks when it comes to lodging, travel, and food, which are our major expenses. I found Guadalajara and Morelia to be especially budget friendly. Right now we are in the Lake Chapala area, which is so far the most expensive locale we’ve visited in Mexico.
