I stumbled across The Lost Girls last October, and I was floored after I read the first posts. The story of The Lost Girls is the story of a group of women who grew tired of America’s modern rat race and decided to quit their jobs and travel the globe.
Through their travels, the women learn that there are other options for success than those conventionally presented. While their travels as a group are over, they still post regularly with their new exploits and points of interest they come up with. If you’re interested in reading more about them, I would suggest starting at the beginning of the blog and making your way back to the most recent posts.
Hola Amigos!
I love what these ladies are doing.
Our story has a few parallels. Seven and a half years ago, my wife and I decided to shutter our business in Silicon Valley and check out of the rat race for a while and travel Mexico. We were your classic workaholic professional couple and had not had a 10 day vacation in more than 18 years!
During our three month trip, we wound up buying a fabulous modern Mexican villa on the shores of Lake Chapala where there is a decent sized English speaking expat population. We came home with the plan to sell our Los Gatos abode and get out of Dodge. Well, we did sell but like you, the market had softened and we got less than we would have if we had done so be for the trip.
But we are sooo glad we did what we did and have not looked back.
Best wishes to you and your family.
Happily Retired in Ajijic, Mexico
