It’s time.

Frank & Ash's Tulum Office
Getting used to our new office.

It has been pretty (more like totally 🙂 ) hectic around Tulum Traveler headquarters for the past couple of months. And, I think it’s time to tell you a little more about what we’ve been up to.

I’ve been talking about how much I love and obsess over Tulum for what seems like forever. Our friends and family know that one day we’re going to decide we’ve had enough here in the city and pack our bags bound for Tulum. On a regular basis folks will ask us; So… have you bought a place in Tulum yet? When are you moving to Tulum?

If you have been following the blog for long or know us at all, this will come as no surprise but… the time has come. It’s time to give Tulum a real chance. Actually, I think it is better said that it is time to give us a real chance. Frank and I have been gradually trying to persuade ourselves that doing something unconventional or even straight up crazy to most of the people around us is okay. It’s a tough thing to convince yourself of when for the past 30 or 40 years we haven’t known it any other way. Moving to a foreign country or even spending an extended period of time in a foreign country is something that isn’t even considered in the world that we are coming from. It takes a lot to try to shift that perspective from “how could we possibly do this?” Or “why would we leave what we are so accustomed to and comfortable with?” to “how can we not?” and “why wouldn’t we?”.

This is a huge step for us. It is scary for sure. But, it is something deep rooted within both of us and it’s time to give us a chance. Time to do something we have been too scared to do for years.

And… this is just the beginning! We are going to spend some time exploring Mexico on our way to Tulum and there are some gorgeous places that we plan to visit along the way! A few places on our radar are: The Mezquital Valley with volcanically heated hot springs waterfalls along lush jungle cliffs. San Miguel de Allende – a colonial-era city known for beautiful baroque Spanish architecture. Nearby Guanajuato, known as the city of colors. The walled coastal city of Campeche…. The list goes on and on and they are all beautiful places full of rich history and culture. I can’t wait!

I will be posting updates and of course, lots and lots of info on Tulum at tulumtraveler.net.

I would love to share this wild journey with you as we follow our passions.

And, please pass this along and share with anyone that you think would also enjoy it. 🙂

  1. Hi! You just liked a pic I had on Instagram from our stay in Tulum so I made my way to your page. Very exciting news!!!! Congrats!! We are actually considering buying there as a vacation home. If the place we are looking at doesn’t pan out it’d be nice to “know” some locals there to give ideas! Or if it does work maybe we’ll see you there!!!

    1. Andrea, that’s awesome!!! Where are you looking at buying? We’re getting a condo in Aldea Zama and will be there early next month. I am putting the finishing touches on a guidebook for Tulum and as I wrap that up also working on a guide to buying property in Mexico. Sign up for my email list so I can keep ya posted! And once we’re both there we’ll have to grab a cocktail!
