For those of you who have been with me for a while you know that I spent almost 6 months in Mexico in 2022\/2023. My intent was to actually move there, but the homesick blues hit me, and I came back home. \ud83e\udd79<\/p>\n
It took about 2 days for me to realize I should have just visited and then went back. But here we are over a year later and I’m still living in the US. Atlanta, GA to be exact.<\/p>\n
It took me 6 months to get back into the swing of being back in the US. I hated it because the vibe in Mexico is just totally different. It’s way more laid back, the food is SOOO<\/strong> much better (I ate like a teenage boy down there and STILL lost A LOT of weight<\/em>), and it\u2019s just a better quality of life.<\/p>\n That was my experience\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n I traveled all over Mexico and got to do so many cool things. I celebrated Mexico\u2019s Independence Day in Mexico City and watched the President address the citizens (I still get goose bumps remembering that<\/em>), I celebrated Dia de Muertos on an island of Mexico\u2019s indigenous peoples, I got to visit ruins of several of the indigenous peoples of Mexico, I attended a soccer game between the two biggest rival teams in Mexico, I got the see tiny pueblitos (small towns<\/em>) where life is still the Mexico of old, the big gorgeous cities and their amazing architecture, and so so so many more amazing adventures.<\/p>\n For the first time I felt totally content and at peace\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n My mother always referred to me as a genius little nut job ball of nervous energy. \ud83d\ude02 Lovingly of course, but she was right. I am that! However, in Mexico I was relaxed and at peace. I really felt in my element while traveling around experiencing the culture (there\u2019s so much of it there) the people, and the gorgeousness that is Mexico.<\/p>\n On the 17th of this month (October<\/em>) I\u2019m taking a plane to San Diego and walking across the border into Tijuana…<\/p>\n Now I just heard a bunch of you gasp in horror\u2026 \ud83d\ude02<\/p>\n First, I\u2019m traveling with my friend who was born and raised in Mexico and has seen more of the darker side of that life than most. I\u2019m in good hands.<\/p>\n Second, I\u2019m doing it during the day so that makes it a bit safer too.<\/p>\n I will be spending a few days in Tijuana and visiting a few cities on the Baja Peninsula. I will then continue the journey south to where I\u2019ll be staying, which is Morelia, Michoacan. The same city I based myself in the last time. I will be hitting multiple cities along the way like\u2026<\/p>\n Side Note:<\/strong> None of this is in stone. It’s just the current plan and I’m sure it will change.<\/p>\n Ensenada, Baja California<\/p>\n Hermosillo, Sonora<\/p>\n Guaymas, Sonora<\/p>\n Los Mochis, Sinaloa<\/p>\n Culican, Sinaloa (This is a \u201cmaybe\u201d due to the current \u201csocial climate\u201d.)<\/p>\n Mazatlan, Sinaloa<\/p>\n Tepic, Nayarit<\/p>\n Guadalajara, Jalisco<\/p>\n \u2026 and I\u2019ll be doing it all via BUS!<\/strong><\/p>\n Now the buses in Mexico are way different than here in the states. They are NIIIICE!<\/strong>\u00a0Lots of room and many of them are the \u201cdouble decker\u201d<\/em> type and I LOVE<\/strong> the views on the top level while traveling. I would much rather see it all than fly in an airplane.<\/p>\n It will take me a few weeks to get to Morelia where I\u2019ll be renting the place that I first stayed in on my first trip. It\u2019s gorgeous with amazing views and it\u2019s in el Centro hist\u00f3rico (the historic part of downtown<\/em>) de Morelia, so it\u2019s close to EVERYTHING! \ud83c\udf2e\ud83d\ude02<\/strong><\/p>\n You can see a lot of Morelia, Michoacan and what I saw in Mexico on my last adventure at https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/media\/set\/?set=a.5656232587733327<\/a><\/p>\n I\u2019ll probably take a week to rest up and catch up on work, and then I\u2019ll be on to more adventures. We have a lot of different things planned and I\u2019ll keep you updated on that.<\/p>\n As for working\u2026<\/em> Yes!<\/strong> I will be working while there.<\/p>\n In the 20 years I\u2019ve had my online business only a few of those years have I had a dedicated office. Basically, if it doesn\u2019t fit in my backpack, it\u2019s not part of my business. So, everything I need is always with me. I can literally work from anywhere USUALLY.<\/strong> My phone acts as a hotspot plus I can have my own Internet service in the place I rent in Morelia. However, there are places I do visit that even my phone doesn\u2019t work, so I won\u2019t be working as much as normal. Plus, I\u2019ll be taking more time to just enjoy life too.<\/p>\n Side Note:<\/strong> For my US peeps. AT&T\u2019s Unlimited plan allows for your phone to work in Canada, Mexico, Central America, and many countries in South America at no additional costs. The plan is like $95 a month, but worth it!<\/p>\n I will still be creating and releasing a lot of PLR packages, but I have plans for other projects too. I want to focus more on my faith based business AND<\/strong> I\u2019ll be working on opening up The Team Tomey Elite Coaching Club<\/strong><\/em> so I can have MORE<\/strong> real life time with all of my Team Tomey peeps. \u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n So now you\u2019re up to date on my trek to my \u201chome base\u201d destination in Mexico and how I\u2019ll be working while on this lengthy journey over the next 6 months.<\/p>\n A lot of people are freaked out by this trek because many people think the only safe places in Mexico are the tourist spots like Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, etc. You will miss out on a lot of amazing things if you just stick to the tourist spots anywhere you travel. Again\u2026<\/em> I will not let fear dictate where I wander. EVER!<\/strong> I know not to visit certain spots at certain times, I have a great guide with me, and most importantly God is ALWAYS<\/strong> guiding me. \ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffc Yes, I need to use the brain He gave me, but when it\u2019s my time, it\u2019s my time, and that could be in my own country or any other country. So, pray for me but instead of worrying, enjoy the journey with me through all the content I\u2019ll be sharing from my trip.<\/p>\n I post EVERYTHING<\/strong> to my Facebook account, and some different stuff on my \u201cother\u201d<\/em> Instagram account, and TikTok, so you can follow me on either of those at the following links\u2026<\/p>\n Facebook:<\/strong> https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/liztomey<\/a><\/p>\n Instagram:<\/strong> https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/grupogringa<\/a><\/p>\n
