Los Cabos with Michael Baldwin: life after failure, speed-dating new places, and the best parts of Mexico

Michael Baldwin is a luxury real estate agent who made a lucrative living in Texas until the financial crisis of 2008 temporarily derailed his career. Ever the optimist, Michael decided to use the opportunity to live abroad, and set about speed-dating all the international destinations within a four-hour flight of Houston. Ultimately, it was Los Cabos, Mexico that stole his heart. In this episode, Michael shares the story of road-tripping down the Baja California peninsula to start a new life in San José del Cabo, and why he’s never looked back. Plus, Esme and Michael discuss Michael’s ethos of turning lemons into lemonade, the logistics of setting up a new life in Mexico, and why the local community is what really makes a place feel like home. You can learn more about Los Cabos by going to www.visitloscabos.travel/featured-offers/.
