Retired in Tijuana, Mexico

In this episode, host Brighton West sits down for breakfast in Tijuana with Lin, a long-time expat who shares his real-life experiences after over 30 years in Mexico, including 8 years living right next to the US border. If you’re thinking about moving to Tijuana or just curious about life south of San Diego, this detailed conversation covers everything from finding a great place to live, healthcare options, crossing the border, money tips, and staying safe. Lin offers insights you won’t find in typical guides—like why you should always rent before you buy, how to really score a deal on rent (hint: it’s not online!), picking the right neighborhood, and the realities of Tijuana’s dual-currency economy. Plus, hear about what everyday life is like: transportation, learning Spanish, and blending into a unique culture where American and Mexican influences meet. Whether you’re a veteran seeking VA access, a remote worker dreaming of lower costs, or a retiree on a budget, Lin’s candid stories and advice will help you explore border life with open eyes. *Chapters:* 00:00 – Introduction to Lin: Why He Moved to Tijuana 00:54 – Lin’s Background: 30+ Years in Mexico 02:01 – Who Should Move to Tijuana?
