Join us for Sunday Morning Updates about
​SLOW TRAVEL  /  #ALTRETIREMENT /   LOCAL STORIES   /   WELLNESS  /  MIDLIFE REINVENTED 

Welcome! Bievenidos! 

We are Kala and Sergio. We are slow travelers reinventing midlife by living and exploring different places, seeing new place through a unique bicultural lens.

We both speak Spanish, one better than the other, can you guess which?  : ) 

We don't currently maintain a home base, so home is where we are in the moment. That doesn't mean we move around all the time, though.  For reasons of work (yes, we do work) and play, we stay at least a month in each location and spend a lot of time exploring our surroundings. We are currently in the lovely, low key town of La Paz, in Baja. We opted to stay here for a few months, it feels more local and less loca than Los Cabos around the cape.  ; D

Because we are slow travelers, you won’t find city guides here for 30 different countries with top ten reviews of places that have been reviewed thousands of times by others.

You will find deeper stories of slices of life, stories that arise from spending several weeks in the same location, exploring  local culture, real estate, nature, food and products made by local people from local ingredients. 

We have a very special group of people that follow our journey. We would love to include you. Please subscribe to our email list at the link below. We send out a Sunday Story each week. 
We pride ourselves on quality writing, with the kind of stories you will pass on to your friends, as some of our readers already do! Here is what others have said:
​
