Moving to Mexico

Hi, we’re Kevin and Christina, a couple from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, ready to chase a bold new chapter in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, with our two beloved dogs, Floof and Molly. By November 2026, we plan to leave behind the long Canadian winters and embark on an adventure-filled move, driving from Saskatoon to Miami, then taking a ferry to Cancun, and finally settling in Playa del Carmen. But we need your help to overcome the financial hurdles and make this dream a reality.

Our life in Saskatoon has been fast-paced, filled with the demands of daily routines and harsh winters that stretch on for months. We’ve always longed for something different—a life of adventure, new cultures, and a slower pace where we can soak in the warmth of the sun. A couple of years ago, we attended my cousin’s wedding in Mexico, and that trip changed everything. The vibrant energy, warm beaches, and welcoming spirit we experienced solidified our dream to build a new life in Playa del Carmen. It’s not just a place; it’s where we see ourselves thriving—walking, swimming, and hiking with Floof and Molly, immersing ourselves in Mexican traditions, and creating a home where friends and family can visit for extended stays.

Playa del Carmen captured our hearts with its turquoise waters, vibrant mix of cultures, and laid-back vibe. We’re drawn to the welcoming expat and local community, the chance to savor authentic Mexican food, and the endless beaches where Floof and Molly can run free. Kevin loves strumming the guitar, dreaming of playing under the stars, while Christina can’t wait to cultivate a garden bursting with tropical colors. Together, we’re excited to explore Mexico by land and sea, building a life funded by remote work that lets us embrace every moment.

Our dogs, Floof and Molly, are the heart of our family. These friendly, energetic pups love nothing more than walking, swimming, and meeting new people. They’ve been by our side through every joy and challenge in Saskatoon, and we can’t wait to see them chase waves and make new friends on Playa’s beaches. They’re not just pets—they’re our adventure partners, and this move is as much for them as it is for us.

But making this dream a reality comes with challenges. The costs of moving—fuel for our cross-country road trip, ferry tickets to Cancun, pet travel requirements, and setting up a safe place to live in Playa del Carmen—are overwhelming. In today’s world, saving enough feels nearly impossible, and securing a stable home while we get established adds another layer of difficulty. That’s why we’re reaching out to you, our community, for support.

Your donation, no matter how small, will help cover the essentials: moving expenses, ferry fees, pet permits, and the costs of settling into our new home. We’re aiming to raise $10,000 to help make this journey possible. In return, we’ll share every step of our adventure—stories of Floof and Molly splashing in the ocean, photos of our new life in Playa, and updates on how we’re building a home where loved ones can visit. Your support means more than just dollars; it’s a chance to help us create a life filled with exploration, connection, and joy.

Thank you for believing in us—Kevin, Christina, Floof, and Molly—as we take this leap toward a new beginning in Playa del Carmen. With your help, we’ll turn our dream into reality.
