Hello Friends!
Call me Tomas =D I'm wrapping up all of my business here in the US and preparing to hop on the plane to be in Tulum by May - ticket's already purchased for end of April and will have a few days with friends before I arrive at my very own palapa. Turned in my notice at work, sold the boat, in the process of selling the car, along with a variety of other small ticket items and trying to not bounce off the walls with excitement. I've been doing the corporate thing for a decade and am ready for a slow-down, Kenny Chesney style. I'll be embarking on a business venture with friends and taking care of a small rental-palapa-village in Tulum. My puppies will be joining me on this adventure and I plan on staying until I'm ready to go, which will probably be a *long* time. Can't wait to immerse myself in the Mayan culture and meet new friends, as well as adopt new interests.
What can I say, I'm about to turn 27 and I had a mid-life crisis. After careful consideration, I decided that instead of living my life to work until retirement, then maybe enjoy a few years, I'd rather satisfy what Steinbeck called, "The Itch". The itch for something different...so...I'm getting rid of all my worldly possessions I thought were important, stepping completely out of my comfort zone and preparing to reinvent myself and embrace the notion of work hard / play hard!!
I'm impressed with the number of active folks on this site and look forward to future chats with you all!! While I've done more research and fielded more questions to friends currently there than you could shake a stick at, I welcome any suggestions you have that may ease my relocation. As soon as we get the website up for the property, I'll share it with you and hope to win some of your business for those of you that will be coming down with a round-trip ticket.
Cheers,
-Tomas
