Whenever a homeowner sells their home they can move forward with their life and on to new adventures. As well, when someone [...]
Juan Manuel Alcantar, familiar to us as Blackie, first came to Guaymas and San Carlos in 1954 for a vacation, like many of us; he never left…well, at least not for long. Originally from Manzanillo, Colima, his first visit was to see his Uncle who lived in Guaymas. During his stay, his Uncle offered him [...]
I have had the pleasure of signing a few books recently on Tidbit’s behalf and, many of her books are being shipped to relatives and grandchildren of the book buyers. The thought that Tidbit’s message was being shared across the world inspired me to begin asking people where they were mailing her book. This is [...]
Thursday night is the traditional “Girl’s Night Out” in San Carlos as it is in most cities around the world. I’m not sure what guys do on their nights out however, for me and my girlfriends it consists of wine, food, and lots of girl talk. Fortunately for those of us who live in San [...]
Well, here we are at the end of another year and, what a year it has been! As the clock strikes midnight tonight it is a good time to decide who we wish to become in the New Year and how we wish to create positive changes in our world. After all, it does start [...]

For the past five weeks I have been in Portland, Oregon (my, how this city has grown up!) for personal and business reasons. As I go about a typical day, I meet many people and the fact that I live in Mexico often arises in conversation. The response is so fun because people love Mexico; [...]
Real Estate is still a sound investment. Just when you thought investing in real estate was old news…guess again. I just finished reading an article about the real estate market in Munich, Germany and real estate sales in this area are up 10% . The article stated that real estate sales are up because of [...]
I recently published an article stating that I feel San Carlos, Sonora and Chilko Lake, British Columbia are an unbeatable combination. Well, it looks like I am not biased in my perspective. Take a look at this gorgeous video that was created for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, B.C. Chilko Lake is featured in two areas [...]
As a designer I am aware of the effect of color in the interiors of our homes. Much has been written on the psychology of color and even without these theories most of us know when we are in environments that we find pleasing to our senses. I was doing some research recently on the effects [...]
After moving to San Carlos in 2006 I built my own home, and a second house next to my property. My degree in interior design was invaluable during this process.
I am a dual citizen of Canada and the US, with my Permanent Resident status in Mexico.
Along with my passion for interior design I am an avid blog writer, self-published author, and founding member of San Carlos Pueblo Escenico, an urban plan that promotes the character and beauty of our community.
