About Suzanne Marie Bandick

I am a life coach and writer to facilitate people living their dreams. I am an adventurer because it is a part of my inner spirit. I was born and raised in British Columbia, Canada. My husband and I left our six figure incomes to pursue our dream of living in a tropical paradise. What happened? We left everything and then gained everything that truly mattered over again.

I married Shawn, my childhood sweetheart at the ripe old age of 21. Yeah, I can’t believe I waited that long either. Seriously, I never intended to get married until I hit 28, which sounded like a good number to me, but Shawn was in my life and I knew I wanted to be with him forever, so I told him he should marry me and we would travel the world together and have lots of fun. Fortunately for me, he said yes, and we are still happily together having fun. He doesn’t complain where I squeeze the toothpaste tube and I tell him he can go fishing as much as he wants. It must be love.

We have always loved to travel. We have visited Thailand, New Zealand, Italy, Barbados, Jamaica and numerous other destinations. Before marriage I was in Mexico several times, as well as taking trips to various places in the Mediterranean, like Greece, Turkey and Venice. Our kids went with us for a month-long trip to Thailand.

I am currently living the adventure that is life in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, with my husband and our 2 teenage children. Sometimes, I do not know which gives me more adventure: Mexico or our kids! We arrived in Mexico September 10th, 2001, and life has never been the same since.
