Ep 2. From Farming to Catching Waves

From Farming to Catching Waves, the second episode of Mexico Life season 3, follows the journey of a New Jersey couple who have decided to leave their suburban lifestyle behind and move to Mexico. The couple, Jodie and John, have always dreamt of living near the ocean and pursuing a more laid-back lifestyle, and they believe Mexico is the perfect place to realize this dream.

The episode opens with Jodie and John expressing their excitement about their upcoming move to Mexico. They talk about how they are both tired of the hustle and bustle of their current lifestyle and how they are looking forward to embracing a more relaxed way of living. Jodie in particular talks about how much she loves the ocean and how she has always wanted to live near it.

The couple has chosen to move to the small town of La Saladita, which is located on the Pacific coast of Mexico. La Saladita is well-known for its world-class surfing waves, so Jodie and John are excited to learn how to surf and spend their days catching waves. The town is also known for its beautiful beaches, warm weather, and friendly locals, which all add to its charm.

The couple has enlisted the help of a local real estate agent named Juan, who takes them on a tour of several properties that are currently on the market. Jodie and John are impressed with the variety of properties that they see, from small apartments to large homes with ocean views. They eventually settle on a spacious two-story home that is located just a few minutes' walk from the beach.

Once the couple has purchased their new home, they get to work on making it their own. They hire a local contractor, Roberto, to help them with renovations, including installing new kitchen cabinets and repainting the exterior of the house. The couple is thrilled with the progress that Roberto is making and looks forward to moving in soon.

Throughout the episode, Jodie and John explore their new hometown and get to know some of the locals. They visit a local market where they buy fresh produce for their new home, and they attend a traditional Mexican celebration where they dance and eat delicious food. They also take surfing lessons from a local instructor named Tito and spend time practicing their new skills in the ocean.

As Jodie and John settle into their new life in Mexico, they reflect on how different it is from their old life in New Jersey. They both agree that they are much happier now and are grateful for the opportunity to live in such a beautiful place. The episode ends with the couple enjoying a sunset on the beach, watching the waves crash against the shore and reflecting on the new adventures that await them in Mexico.
