When they were 50 years old, Paul and Bonnie left snowy Canada to buy a bed and breakfast / yurtground in San Ignacio Baja California Sur. This is a great stopping spot if you’re driving from the US border south to La Paz or Los Cabos. This oasis is full of date palms (and other palms) and features a fresh water river, which is very uncommon on the Baja Peninsula.
Because the cost of labor is so low in Mexico (compared to the US and Canada,) Paul and Bonnie are able to have a staff of a dozen people to do the cooking, cleaning, maintenance, etc. Then they can be semi-retired and only do the parts of the business they enjoy. And a number of local Mexicans have good jobs with benefits.
They purchased the place from another Canadian couple who was ready to take the next step deeper into retirement. They continue to live in San Ignacio.
They have about a dozen yurts for rent and all include breakfast. https://www.ignaciosprings.com/
