Thinking about life in a quieter, more authentic corner of Mexico? In this episode of Live by Design - Mexico Edition, host Taniel Chemsian talks with Brighton West, a part-time resident of La Paz, Baja California Sur, who shares what day-to-day life really looks like for expats.

From the surprisingly affordable healthcare and low cost of living, to the welcoming community, safe environment, and unforgettable adventures like swimming with whale sharks, Brighton offers a candid look into why La Paz has become a top choice for Americans and Canadians seeking warmer weather and a slower pace.

You’ll hear practical insights on driving, navigating local systems, connecting with expat communities, and how to “test-drive” life here with an extended stay before committing. Whether you're dreaming of retirement in Mexico or exploring a new lifestyle abroad, this episode delivers realistic guidance, firsthand stories, and the inspiration to design your next chapter.
