I so relate! I've been guilty, for much of my life, of living in or for the future. In our late 20s we moved to Hong Kong and I thought I'd leave all my troubles behind and, alas, some of them follow you wherever you go. I understand the move you're making because my husband and I also have residency in Mexico and bought a house there as our Plan B and snowbird residence. If I were your age I'd leave Canada and live there as well, but we have young adult kids here and one parent and so the plan is to live part-time in both countries. Mexico has its challenges but you're beginning a great life adventure and it'll be wonderful for your son -- in San Miguel de Allende we noticed right away how much happier the children were and how families spend so much time together. Do keep us posted on your adventures!
It has been a very very busy few months for you and your family. Glad to hear that it's all working out and discovering things along the way.
Looking forward to your new podcasts!
I may be going on a new journey as well, depending on if the place I am looking at is still available. Leaving Edmonton, the socialist stronghold of Alberta. Moving to rural Alberta, if it pans out. I was debating hard on this for a month. It would be, to me, a major lifestyle change. Years old routines will be changed. And moving to a place where I only know one person.
But I think it would be a good kick in the butt to break those old habits. Especially the ones I developed during COVID that I can't shake, bourne from the lack of trust in my so-called community. A new and unknown environment might be the ticket to make good changes.

That is great, Vance! keep me posted on your journey!
