In this episode of Dream Retirement In Mexico, host Risa Morimoto sits down with guest Michelle Wedderburn, who shares her experiences and insights on relocating to San Miguel, Mexico. Michelle begins by discussing a recent relocation group that was organized, which provided information on immigration procedures and establishing oneself in the new country. This group had presentations, Q&A sessions, and neighborhood tours with local experts, including an immigration specialist and a realtor. 

Michelle, originally from Toronto, Canada, and having lived in Connecticut and Florida, shares her journey of exploring different countries and ultimately settling on Mexico. After visiting San Miguel in 2005, she was not interested in living there at the time, but Mexico kept popping up as a potential destination. Michelle emphasizes the importance of experiencing San Miguel firsthand to truly understand its beauty. 

Overall, Michelle highlights the opportunities that moving to a different country, such as Mexico, can offer in terms of quality of life, slower pace, and meaningful connections. San Miguel, with its mix of preserved history and modern progress, provides a unique soft landing for foreigners looking to transition into living in Mexico.
