When is the time to abandon being part -time foreigners?

In 2005, when my husband and I bought an old Adobe house in the city center of GuwanjuadoOvarian I thought we would soon retire here. But the way came in the way. I entertained my advice and training business, and at that time it was needed to be in person in California.

It’s not about work. In Eureka, where Bar and I live, we will only research its Edis, Sluffs, Pilfens and Marino, where we rent the apartment, where we rent the apartment, on my paddle board, he is in his kayak. In addition, we want the trips we make in our camber van across Northern California and South Oregon.

Barry is now 82, I am 73 years old. Our lifestyle still works – but how long? Guwanjuado, its steep AlleywaysOr the alley, not really senior friendly. I found that we were not the only people with these questions, so I asked other part -time players how they felt the plus and minus of this lifestyle.

The benefits of two places

Richard and Reji have been living in their seat home for 39 years, despite many changes in the city, they prefer it. But they are happy that Seataline is in the long, dark, wet winter in Guanjuado.

“Color, culture, weather, people’s kindness,” says Richard. “I see more children on the street in a week than I see in a year in Seattle … God forbids them to be on the streets without guardians.”

In the meantime, they rent in Guwanjuado – like Barry and me, have a home enough for them – there is an excellent social circle.

“I choose a part -time life in San Miguel (T. Alende) because we love our North California home, where we offer us the outdoor work we want as our five acres of gardeners. Plus

Mawreen is a consultant, researching the history of local buildings in the Long Beach where he lives. It is a job that requires combing with face -to -face contacts and body archives. But he loves Quanjuado, where he spends four to five months a year. A self -described “alley” person, he is happy to examine the city’s winding streets.

According to her, the pleasure of Guwanjuado is that she can enjoy all the best parts of the city without pulling responsibility.

“I come often, read it often, simply eating and living in Guwanjuado,” he says.

She can do these things in Long Beach, but she doesn’t.

Diane, a Calgary of Alberta, is the most immersed in the Mexican culture of these respondents. Guwanjuado, a working class neighborhood in Leon, rents a house in a house where his “wonderful, concerned Mexican family” lives.

“They adopted me almost 20 years ago,” he says. “I am grateful for me to have the opportunity to be part of their lives at this time.”

Martin, a part -time Kuanjuado resident of Vancouver, said, “I have the best in both worlds.” I love natural, wildlife and sea (British Columbia). But in the Canadian winter, I love the sun in Mexico because I am sad (seasonal impact). “

Disadvantages

For those who are renting when they do not use one or both homes, a large minus is a troublesome that excludes their personal belongings whenever they leave.

This is the position of retired audio tool designer Spike and his wife Jackie. Another problem they handle is because they split their time between Bend, Oregon and Quanjuado, and they are tired of being tired back and forth.

“This is a 12 to 14 hour door,” he says. “Plus, we take our cat with us. She’s not clearly enjoying trips.”

As for Martin, the cost is a problem.

“It is expensive to start and start every six months on the way to Vancouver with two dogs,” he says.

Another confusion is that she is still taking care of her mother in Quebec, and she is very close to the daughter in Victoria.

One of the waste for Vivian and Jeff, one of the waste of their time between Washington’s Quanjuado and Belingham, they missed It is possible to volunteer for some organizations that work in Guwanjuado.

Part -time first full -time

A few folks are watered from part time to full -time. Rachel, who went from Vancouver to Guanjuado, wants to own a car.

“Freedom of a lifestyle every day, more than 340 stairs on our street help keep my feet strong and efficient.”

On the other hand, she loses long -term friendship, in particular, the theater and, in particular.

“There is something irreparable about the intimacy that lasted more than three or four decades. He says.” I don’t know that I will lose my friends so much. “

Lee from New York’s upstate loses his friends, his children, granddaughter, Hudson canoeing and bikes in beautiful rural areas, but “I don’t lose cold or more life.”

She has no regrets.

“I like to study Spanish and am part of a Ta C community,” he says. “Lee also appreciates the opportunity to contribute.

We have not received any young

Then there is the question of aging.

Lee Suckles. “I have 87, so I’m already a great one.”

“We expect that we will be full -time bend when we start older because it is a great place to fall and is more relevant to potential movement problems.” “In two places, when we get older, our place is very comfortable.”

Susan’s husband, Jack, is not so sure of the lifestyle back and forth.

“For now, it is good to split our time. But when we go in the 80s, what we do depends on our health and health.”

He thinks that they can go to Mexico full time to approach the low -cost senior maintenance to point out the existence of a good, affordable pension home near San Miguel.

American political environment

Many residents have noted that the US political environment is a reason for Mexico to permanently permanently.

“We open our wishes,” says Jack. “With ugly changes in our country, we accept the waiting and viewing attitude.”

For me, I am not clearly about my decision than I was before. But as Barry says, technology, politics, statistics, health – things are changing so fast, and now that 10 years of life can be predicted.

For now, Guwanjuado is a great place to be a great place to be active and maintained for a healthy lifestyle, and it is enough for me.
