Janet Blaser, an expat writer, has recently found solace in the serene surroundings of San Antonio Tlayacapan, a cozy village nestled in Mexico. Having spent years in the bustling resort city of Mazatlán by the Pacific coast, Blaser has embarked on a new chapter in her life seeking a simpler lifestyle away from the rapid developments that transformed her former home.

The quaint village of San Antonio Tlayacapan offers Blaser the tranquility she craved, with its picturesque cobblestone streets and abundance of nature. Transitioning smoothly into her new abode, she rented a charming two-bedroom cottage with a gated front yard adorned with a colorful flower garden that attracts lively butterflies and hummingbirds.

Immersing herself in the slower pace of life, Blaser has embraced the smaller rooms of her new home, finding them to be just the right fit for her. Her spacious bedroom boasts ample natural light, and she has already started envisioning personalizing the space with a fresh coat of paint. The second bedroom has been repurposed into a cozy office where she immerses herself in her freelance work, which includes writing books on expat living and offering consultations to those navigating their lives abroad.
