Tiktok's viral move-to-Mexico series creator discusses her experience
In this candid sit‑down, Dan and Dave chat with Tara Marie Murphy—Canadian investment‑banker‑turned–digital‑nomad whose viral posts about swapping Toronto for Playa del Carmen lit up social media—to unpack how she and her pro‑golfer partner engineered a sunnier, cheaper, community‑driven life abroad. Tara traces the couple’s pandemic‑era “one‑month test run” that became a full‑time move; explains why five nearby golf courses, a 45‑minute airport run, and an instant network of under‑40 remote workers made Playa the perfect launch pad; and walks through myths about safety, childcare (a full‑time in‑home nanny for ~US $400/month), and Mexico’s surprisingly hands‑on private healthcare system that supported her fertility journey. The trio digs into gentrification critiques, the math of cost‑of‑living arbitrage, cross‑border real‑estate strategy (Tara still cash‑flows two Canadian rentals while renting in Mexico), and mindset shifts required to “just do the thing” instead of staying on the high‑tax hamster wheel. Tara closes with practical advice—test the destination first, build remote‑work systems, learn enough Spanish to get by, and ignore the online naysayers—and invites listeners to connect with her for resources and honest answers.Follow & further reading:• Instagram: @taramariemurphy Instagram• TikTok: @tmariemurphy TikTok• Daily Hive feature on her Mexico move: https://bit.ly/3Hpd65wListen in to see why a growing wave of young Canadians—and their kids—are trading condo fees and February slush for palm trees, reef snorkels, and an eight‑hour nanny shift that costs less than a Toronto parking spot.
