We met 12 years ago over wine…
Tom owned a wine shop, and Tiffany was a wine rep. She walked in, and that was it! We lived the American Dream for awhile… 70 hour work weeks, limited vacation time, and heaps of debt. Tiffany had worked in the Dominican Republic and the Bahamas before the big Recession hit, so she knew there was more to life than this constant grind. We both wanted more out of life than waiting for a paycheck and limited vacation time.
We are not 20-somethings trying to hit 30 countries before we are 30, and we are not retirees with a fixed income and time on our hands. We are a working couple who found a way to live our dream in another country before retirement age.
Is it sometimes a struggle? Yes.
Has it been worth it? Most definitely yes.
About Tiffany and Tom
A former animal trainer, Tiffany spent 13 years in the animal training field and 10 years in the conference industry. Her passion for wildlife leads us to more adventurous locations.
Tom has worked every position in the wine industry and is a marketing genius. His passion for food has determined many of our travels.
Our Story
Lots of people dream of living overseas, but how do you make that dream come true? Every blog, article and interview talks about how “wonderful” life is, but how did they get there? What steps did they have to go through? What obstacles did they encounter? We all love hearing about the “happily ever after”, but there’s more to the story than rainbows and butterflies. And that’s what we’re going to share with you. The good, the bad, and the ugly, and a few surprises along the way.
There will still be travel, hotels and foodie envy within Epicurean Expats. We want to become your eyes and taste buds on the ground. Our focus will mainly be in Central Mexico, specifically the states of Queretaro and Guanajuato, but we’ll also be sharing trips from other parts of Mexico.
And don’t worry. Our trips around the world have not stopped. Since moving to Mexico we’ve been to Peru, Spain, Malta and Italy (posts coming soon!). But there’s still plenty to discover right here. We aren’t just looking at Mexico as a tourist, but more and more as a local. We feel this will help us better serve you on your travels with observing the “real life” of unique destinations.
