Dave spends his summers in Ontario, Canada and his winters in La Peñita de Jaltemba, Nayarit, Mexico with his wife Anne and his Mexican rescue dog Amarillo.

Agneta Dyck: Author of “Why I Cancelled my Health Insurance”  lives in La Penita.  About her book Agneta says:

“What’s the book about? With a title like that, you may wonder. The book does not actually recommend that individuals cancel their health insurance, but it does pose the question: what would a world look like if we didn’t NEED health insurance? What if we learned to read the messages from our bodies and could heal ourselves? What if we could learn to prevent disease? Even so-called accidents would have no power over us if we used the approach detailed in this book. Through the specific body-mind-spirit alignment that is explained, we can all live healthy, happy lives and even experience the bonus of lasting youth.”
