What if you didn't wait until retirement to create the life you've always wanted?
In this episode of Live by Design – Mexico Edition, host Taniel Chemsian welcomes Megan and David, a young Canadian couple who made the life-changing decision to move to Mérida, Mexico years before retirement. Motivated by the desire for a warmer climate, a better work-life balance, and a more intentional lifestyle, they traded Canada's harsh winters for one of Mexico's safest and most vibrant cities.
Megan and David share how the pandemic became the catalyst for reimagining their future, the practical steps they took to relocate with just five suitcases, and what it's really like to build a new life in Mexico as younger expats.
