From Research to Reality: Moving to Mexico with Confidence and Heart

In this episode, Taniel sits down with Peter and Sharon Cooper, a dynamic couple preparing to leave their life in Asheville, North Carolina, and embark on a brand new chapter in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. After over a decade of research and travels—from Panama to Portugal, Singapore to Spain—the Coopers share why Mexico won their hearts and how they’re navigating the exciting (and sometimes overwhelming) international relocation process.

Tune in as Peter and Sharon open up about what drew them to Mexico’s warm culture, how they’re preparing for the move, adjusting to a new lifestyle, and their candid thoughts on overcoming fears, handling paperwork, choosing between furnished and unfurnished rentals, and saying goodbye to the grind. 

Whether you’re curious about the day-to-day realities of retiring abroad, or just want to soak up some inspiration for designing your own best life, this episode is packed with invaluable first-hand insights, practical tips, and a healthy dose of optimism for anyone dreaming of a fresh start south of the border.
