About Ty & Alissa

Hola!  Me llamo Alissa!  My husband and I, along with our labradoodle, Bloo, currently live in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle in the state of Nayarit, Mexico just 30 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta. 






We're both originally from the Pacific Northwest and first met and became friends in 2006 while we were working for the same company.  We started dating in 2012 right around the time I was deciding to make a major career change because I was unhappy in my stressful management position... At the age of 26, I quit my corporate job and enrolled in college full-time to study health and fitness.  Over the next few years I became a very busy personal trainer and bootcamp instructor and I've loved every sweaty minute of it!  

In 2013, Ty accepted a very stressful position at his company and after a few years he realized he was ready to follow suit and make a major career change himself....except he decided to take it many steps further.  Not only did he want to change careers...he wanted to live simpler, cheaper, healthier, and with much less stress.  After several weeks of crunching the numbers and researching logistics, we came to the conclusion that we could in fact, "retire" in our 30s.  

So, in the spring of 2016, we quit our jobs, sold our house and almost all of our possessions, traded in our two cars for a mini van...packed up our pup and hit the road.  We drove about 2,800 miles from Seattle to Puerto Vallarta and so far, we couldn't be happier with our decision to live on purpose.
