In this first episode, we share our backstories, why leaving the U.S. went from “someday” to we’re doing this now, and how Erica accidentally bought a house in Mexico without Jeff ever seeing it. From culture shocks to kindness that surprised us, this episode sets the stage for all the chaos (and lessons) to come.

Welcome to *This Might Be a Bad Idea* 🎙 — the podcast where love, life, and questionable decisions collide.

We’re Erica & Jeff, a married couple from Philadelphia who packed six suitcases, left the U.S., and moved to Mérida, Mexico. Every week, we share the real, funny, and sometimes chaotic truth about expat life, marriage, moving abroad, and what it’s really like to start over in a new country.

✨ What you’ll find here:
- Expat life in Mexico 🇲🇽
- Moving abroad as a couple ✈️
- Culture shock & adjusting to a new life 🌎
- Love, marriage & questionable decisions 💍
