If a #road trip through #Mexico for years didn’t work out, what was the worst that could happen? We could always return. And if we did, we’d be more interesting, well-rounded, well-adjusted, and happier.

Why Go On a Road Trip In Mexico, Even If Only a #Medical Tourist: Feasible
* Lower Cost Of Living
Could we achieve “twice the lifestyle at half the cost”? Or was this cooked up by unscrupulous marketers? If money-saving, our lives would radically change for the better. Who’d not want to know the answer?
* Better Than the Alternative
Rather than fly, we drove (cheaper and much more interesting). It gave us time to relax, immerse ourselves, and get to know the people and places where we were staying.
Why Go On a Road Trip In Mexico, Even If Only a Medical Tourist: Exciting
* Get Out Of the Bubble
In a Mexican fishing village, people earn 1/10th the income as us. In their culture, many Mexicans have had different experiences than us. They came to different conclusions and values. Testing mine against theirs, I broadened my understanding, became a better person.
* Gain New Competencies
What awakens the senses and creates lasting memories are different experiences. The unpredictable especially. We put ourselves into situations that required moderately difficult decisions and behavior. It taught us new skills and gave us confidence.
At middle-age, my sports-related injuries kept piling up. I had friends who suffered illnesses that would keep them from ever doing some of the things on their list. A few had even died. The last thing I wanted was to look back with regret.
