From Orozco murals and whimsical sculptures to bustling markets and bold tortas ahogadas, Guadalajara is a feast for the senses. Art, music, and flavor fill every corner—this city captivates, inspires, and leaves you wanting more.

What started as a short-term housesit caring for four sweet dogs turned into so much more. Joe and I fell in love with Lake Chapala’s warm community, vibrant yet laid-back lakeside charm, walkable streets, perfect weather, and unbeatable affordability. Close to Guadalajara and Mexico’s beaches, it’s the perfect mix of slow pace and convenience. We’ve finally found home.
