Hello, I'm Brian
After years of pushing limits as an engineering project manager in Las Vegas, I realized it was time for a change. A November 2020 scouting trip to Guadalajara and Ajijic revealed a hidden gem. Just two days in, I felt an inexplicable connection to Guadalajara. Nine months later, in August 2021, I turned that spark into a reality, embracing a new life in this vibrant city.
