Just a cactus… standing tall, minding its business, thriving off sun and vibes.
Honestly? 🤙

Not much happening on the land right now, but that doesn’t mean we’re not still dreaming, scheming, and pinning solar panels in our heads.

Little peek at what we’re building in Baja 🌵✨

Simple, modern, and very us. Can’t wait to have slow mornings here, BBQs with friends, and endless Baja sunsets.

More to come as it all comes together — one dusty step at a time. 🏜️💛

This is the lot.

After years of dreaming about a home in Mexico, we thought it would be Puerto Vallarta. But after visiting La Paz in Baja California Sur… we were hooked. It’s not as busy, not as touristy and that’s exactly why we love it.

Yes, it’s a two-hour drive from the Cabo airport to La Paz, but it’s a stunning one. And once you arrive? It's all sunshine, salty air, and that low-key magic you just can’t fake.

We fell for the calm beaches, vibrant marine life, outdoor adventures, and that old-school, friendly driving vibe that reminds me of how things used to be—less honking, more waving.

La Paz is a town with a strong local culture, a pretty sweet foodie scene worth exploring, and the most peaceful malecón where everyone comes out at night to actually enjoy life. No rushing. Just sunsets, music, and families out for walks.

But the real obsession? Baja's rugged landscapes. Giant cacti🌵 (extra points when they come with a bird on top), desert mountains, and that beautiful, dusty stillness.

After what felt like endless off roading through brush and wondering if we scratched the Jeep again, we landed on this rustic, off-grid lot with no city power, water, or sewer—just how we wanted it.

Now we’re planning to build a self-sufficient home with views of the Sea of Cortez and stars you can actually see at night.🌌

Before the plans . Before the structure 🏡. Before the systems.

There was this:
A piece of land, a bunch of dust, and two Canadians saying “Yeah, we can totally figure this out"

We didn’t know exactly what we were doing (still don’t), but we knew it had to start somewhere.
This is where “Gridless” really began.

I’ve been thinking about this for a while, and it’s time — I’m officially moving from .hub to 🌵

This next chapter is about more than just design — it’s about building an off-grid life in Baja. No power lines, no city water. Just the land, the sun, and a whole lot of planning (and learning) as we go.

We’re designing our home from the ground up — solar power, water storage, septic, the whole thing. It’s going to take time, maybe years, but that’s okay.

At the heart of it, we’ve always tried to make the most of our lives and create as much freedom as we can. We’re aiming for a life that feels fulfilling, creative, productive — and deeply ours.

If you’re curious about what it takes to build from scratch in the middle of the desert (or just want to see how this all unfolds), follow along.
