A community for families exploring, preparing for, or building a real life in Mexico 🇲🇽
We’re Kaylena & Erik, and we know what it’s like to build a life from scratch in a country away from home. A few years ago, our family packed up and moved to Mexico. We raised our kids there and learned what daily life actually looks like, schooling, culture, money, visas, and the rhythm of life.
Then life brought us back to the States.
Being back clarified something we couldn’t have known otherwise:
Mexico wasn’t a phase. It was a chapter we weren’t finished writing. Mexico is home.
Now, we’re preparing to move back with far more clarity and confidence about the life we want for our family. That’s why this community exists.
Here, we talk honestly about daily family life in Mexico from logistics to adapting to the culture.
Whether you’re just feeling the pull, actively preparing, or already living this chapter, you’re welcome here.
This is our table. Pull up a chair 🤍
