Single Parent Empty Nester Digital Nomad

Mission: To help empty-nest single parents in the USA relocate abroad for their first time.

Now that your kid(s) are grown-up and moved out of the house, you might be wondering, what’s next?

Maybe you’ve been thinking of leaving the United States, even just temporarily. But you’re spinning your wheels and not making any progress.

Does this sound familiar?

Moving abroad IS a big deal. Don’t feel discouraged if you feel you need help with this.

This is my story:

I became a dad at age 27 in 2002. At that time, my only foreign travel experience was an overnight in Nogales, Sonora, Mexico on Cinco de Mayo in 1995 with some friends.

I didn’t come back to Mexico for 21 years.

In fact, I didn’t get my first passport until 2015 at age 40.

In September 2015, I spent 8 days solo in Belize (f/k/a British Honduras).

A March 2016 cruise ship excursion in Ensenada, Baja California got me hooked on our southern neighbor, and I’ve been visiting Mexico annually since then (except during the pandemic).

In 2022, when my son turned 20, I came up with the concept of S.P.E.N.D., as that was who I was becoming.

I spent over 10 weeks in Mexico over the summer of 2024, with five of those as a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) student in Guadalajara and the other five weeks on vacation, passing through Puerto Vallarta, Nayarit state, and Mazatlán.

My goal is to call Mexico home for most of the year while maintaining ties to my hometown of Tucson, Arizona and being there for my son who is now in his 20s.

Now I want to help other similarly situated empty-nest single parents do the same — live abroad while being available to loved ones back home.
