What if you could leave everything behind and start anew in a vibrant, culturally rich city? Join us as we wrap up our incredible journey in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. This week, we reminisce about our adventures at the bustling Tuesday Market. Our special guest, Phyllis Gordon, provides an inspiring narrative about her spontaneous move from Los Angeles to Puerto Vallarta and finally to San Miguel. With over 20 years in Mexico, Phyllis enlightens us about her integration into local culture, her work in an antique store, and the creation of her bespoke clothing line, FlirtsSkirts.

We'll also take you behind the scenes of the vibrant Dia de los Locos festival, filled with handmade costumes and an undeniable sense of community. Through our discussion, we touch on the impacts of tourism and the growing expat community, reflecting on the importance of preserving local traditions. From personal anecdotes about the joys of fresh produce at the local market to the close-knit friendships we've formed, this episode offers a rich tapestry of stories. Whether you're passionate about travel, culture, or creative entrepreneurship, you'll find plenty to inspire and captivate you.
