I would like to end the week in a light way by sharing a story of a dear friend of mine about life in Tulum!\u00c2\u00a0 In a light hearted way she gives real life expression about the beauty of Tulum and the desire to perhaps one day make it her home.\u00c2\u00a0 Enjoy!<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Every time I go to Tulum<\/a> I get amazed in a different way.\u00c2\u00a0 My first visit to Tulum was about 2 and a half years ago for a weekend trip.\u00c2\u00a0 Now since having moved to Playa del Carmen I have made it a point to get out to Tulum every so often to escape.\u00c2\u00a0 Yes, even when you already live in paradise sometimes you need to escape.<\/p>\n

It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s amazing how a 40 minute drive can make you feel like you have jumped on an airplane to arrive to a completely different place on earth.<\/p>\n

\"Tulum
Ease your mind with the sound of the waves and the feel of the ocean breeze<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I spent the entire day on the beach enjoying the day with my husband, talking, and forgetting about everything I had to do at home.\u00c2\u00a0 At some point during the day we were visited by a local dog who came to greet us and ask for attention.\u00c2\u00a0 We ate good food, drank a beer, swam and let the sun have its way!<\/p>\n

I live in Playa del Carmen and I love Playa because I need movement and convenience.\u00c2\u00a0 When I lived in the United States I never imagined myself living anywhere that does not have a CVS pharmacy any more than 5 minutes away from my home.\u00c2\u00a0 For this reason Playa fits my lifestyle quite well, but there is really something to be said about Tulum and the so called magic it has.<\/p>\n

This most recent visit to Tulum was the first time I said to myself\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6What if I could live here?\u00c2\u00a0 It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the same question that I said to myself about Playa del Carmen right before I made the leap to make it happen!<\/p>\n

\"Tulum
Peace and Love in Tulum<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I am intrigued about the development of Aldea Zama because I feel it is going to have a soft but strong impact on life in Tulum, combining the peaceful essence it already maintains, while integrating modern living and new lifestyle and retail choices.<\/p>\n

While it is all speculation at this point I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t believe that the addition of Aldea Zama will have any impact on the laid back bohemian lifestyle or ecological preservation of Tulum. In fact, I think that the project is designed to embrace it!<\/p>\n

When you consider developments like Holistika Tulum<\/a> which are literally fusing modern living together with nature, you have to just be Wow\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d at the fact that this can even be done!\u00c2\u00a0 There are definitely some creative thinkers behind the scenes making the combination for such an inspired lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Tulum is more than just an archeological site and excursion\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.<\/h2>\n

For people who have never been to Tulum the town is mostly associated with the famous archeological site and Mayan Ruins, but nobody really knows the sheer beauty and feeling of the town until you have been!<\/p>\n

\"Tulum\"
Tulum is Pet Friendly<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The town center is small but has just about everything you need with delicious restaurant selections, small shops, cafes, a couple local bars, small hotels, dive shops and tour agencies, and even a hospital and grocery store nearby.<\/p>\n

Tulum is a classic setting for one of my favorite Kenny Chesney songs\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 \u00e2\u20ac\u0153No shoes, no shirt, no problems!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00c2\u00a0 Because Tulum is just that, laid back, grab a drink, and just let everything go away!<\/p>\n

And the beach! The beach is just precious!\u00c2\u00a0 What more can I say?<\/p>\n

I feel lucky and privileged that my life is enhanced by so much beauty surrounding me!\u00c2\u00a0 It is for sure that my life and my heart will forever belong to the Riviera Maya.\u00c2\u00a0 It is a place you can be free to live your life, to be happy, and to see a world outside of what you are used to every day.<\/p>\n

Maybe one day Tulum will be my stomping ground but for now, I love knowing that this paradise does not require a plane, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just a short drive away!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/i><\/p>\n

And that is why we work every day to make dreams happen!<\/p>\n

Have a great weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
