- Savannah Jane Buffet joins Melissa Perlman at Amansala Eco Chic Resort & Spa, where people come to rejuvenate their mind, spirit and body. After realizing that New York was making her feel ever more isolated from friends and family, Melissa left the Big Apple after six years in a cramped apartment after hearing about Tulum from a friend. There she has learned Spanish, started a family, and has succeeded as a savvy hotelier -- but not without some setbacks, including a run in with the Mexican mafia.

EX-PATS:
EX-PATS according to modern definition, are people temporarily or permanently residing in a country and culture other than that of their upbringing. Hosted by Savannah Jane Buffett (Jimmy's daughter), we travel through foreign lands discovering the extraordinary stories of those who cut the home-cord leaving behind a seemingly successful and ordinary existence in search of a place to live the dream they have for their life.

One of the most inspiring women I’ve ever met. And I went to stay with her and visit amansala, and it was the most magical week of my life. She truly has taught me so much. Best business woman, mother, friend. Just a true gem.
I just watched this video coming across it by accident. What an inspirational woman.
You only need to take a look at her website and see the quality of her bikini bootcamp and read the reviews.
Then I read some of those below here. They would be the couch travelers Im sure! never get off their but to go and visit these places but ready to criticize others.
I'm also sure Melissas' new life she started in Tulum hasn't been easy, not glamorous and certainly worrying as she mentioned in the video. Not knowing where the next dollar is coming from when you have started a project and there is no going back, yet so much more to lose if you go forward. However, if you have a dream and focus on it with a positive attitude, something always comes through and it did for Melissa. Congratulations to her for sticking with it and being successful.
I know how she felt, I too am an expat living in France for almost 8 years, been there and done that, renovating old stone cottages, one now a successful bnb. But it wasn't easy, it was a struggle and you doubt your sanity at times, wonder if its worth it, but at least we got off the couch and just did it!
I hope to visit Melissa's retreat in the next few months. I'm sure it will be worth it.
I've been searching for a wellness retreat in Tulum or Playa for the spring of 2021. This was among ones I'd considered but after watching this video I am sold. What a beautiful story ❤️
I love this series! I'm thinking about packing up and moving somewhere down south.
She is an inspiration and I wish her well.
I love ex-pats! very inspiring episodes, all of them!
Thank you for all the great and inspirational expat stories you post! Absolutely love it!
Your my inspiration. God bless you.
cool lady ... she's inspiring and just very cool ... congratulations
Great job Melissa!
"loosing the fear gene". haha. Bless you!
Great story, I will defiantly stay there next time I am in town even though I only live 45 minutes away.
So this is what happiness looks like? Love it!!!
She said I don't miss a trip to Target 😂😂😂 who will leaving in Paradise
Thank you so much for your reply, this is great to know. I'll be sure to come take a yoga class from you if I'm in Tulum!
Gorgeous destination...a beautiful, inspiring woman living her dream.
I love her Story! So Bold...
its amazing!! , i wish i could work there
you are so inspiring
Wow..I can't believe the losers posting how they think that Melissa has Daddy helping her out? Does she have to reveal every last detail of her story and life for you to respect what she managed to pull off? The fact is, you have no idea where the 50K came from. She probably toiled and saved for quite some time. Either way, it doesn't seem to me that it was all handed to her on a silver platter. As for not owning the property? She's a risk taker and you don't know what kind of arrangement she had with the owner. I applaud and admire her as a woman for going for her vision and putting it first. If you note, man and baby came first. She is a self made woman and has all my respect.
+Sarah Dupuy Exactly Sarah !
Envy runs deep with the low IQ'ed. Just something that many have to deal with.
I totally agree!
Sarah Dupuy You can save $50,000 easily in USA if you can let go unnecessary SPENDING buying junk in America. I save that much 7 years ago on my $35,000 a year income. I saved $1,000 a month plus my tax returns for 3 years. I ended up buying my condo where I am living now through foreclosure mortgage free in a good neighborhood in USA. Anyone can do it with determination. Now,I am rent and mortgage free. My next GOAL is to save another $50,000 to invest in something else that I am still thinking about so that I can be self employed. You don't need any sugar daddy to save a lot of money, I am doing it alone,single with my one child. All of my debt paid off except for my car that I am planning to pay off.
a foreigner cannot own land near the beach in Mexico.
"did you travel a lot?" ... "no, but I moved to Japan and explored Asia for 6 years!" wtf???
I hope to go to your retreat as soon as possible! When my youngest child graduates in six years I want to buy a tiny house in Tulum and just start being at peace- not stressed not cold anymore. I’m so tired of my life in Minnesota I’m starting to have panic attacks
I have an opportunity to develop some property in the Maya Riviera and this has been by far one of the most helpful videos I've come across, I hope I get a chance to check out this place in the coming days!!
I wish I could leave and go somewhere nice but I got no money and no passport
$145. for a passport. passcard is $45 to go to mexico by car. plus a SSI
check that can only be spent in USA that is only $731. a month for a blood
disorder.
inspiring stuff, feeling some serious wanderlust
Haha, I said Target seconds before she did
i Love this show!!!!!
Hey, you guys could do a show on JC who runs the retirecheapjc channel and the retirecheap.asia and .tv sites out of Chiang Mai, Thailand. I have met him. He'd make a great subject.
At 11:15 there is a sign for rentals - seems very expensive for Mexico - paddle board $25 hour.
P Pumpkin that’s probably $25 Pesos per hr which would be $1.25 US
Yes daddy probably supported her. However you have to experience the bitter to appreciate the sweet. Many people expect everything instead of feeling fortunate whatever comes their way.
I arrived in cancun with only $30 in my pocket and hope,fear,and a dream and dont regret itI love cancun!!.Not everyone comes from family with money...It takes courage!Something we all have
Charles Rinehart not every successful woman is so because of her father, you sound sexist and patronizing for assuming so.
Cancun Susie he only said that because she is a woman, men think that women can't be successful without their fathers supporting them. show me the expat videos featuring successful men where he says daddy supports them and i will eat my shoe.
Nicole Murray Even on Shark Tank, they ask the entrepreneurs where they got the money to start their business. Melissa never explains that here. And she just comes across as entitled. Are people jealous of her? Absolutely. Just human nature to be jealous of things. But no one hates her.
Charles Rinehart so it's not that youre suspicious of successful women, it's that you're jealous? Well at least you are aware of how your misogynism manifests. 💁
savannah and Melissa look like sisters lol
whats the intro reggae song?
Just felt like Savannah was a little more drawn to this one than any of the others I have seen.
I would love to know if she got her money back from the work she did on the other hotel?
I don't think she did
I can’t imagine what her property is worth now....💰💰💰 good for her!
Heaven
Sounds like daddy had some financial input on this project!
Hi Savannah! I loved seeing you and all the other people that you were with swimming underwater from underwater! You also look pretty nice and beautiful in your bikini swimsuit! That’s a nice bikini swimsuit that you were wearing while swimming above and underwater!🥰🐟😍🐬🦈👍💧💦🐋❤️🌊💕🐳👙😊
I thought only people from Mexico could own a business in Mexico.
7591JC I don’t know the details but I’m sure there are ways to make it possible, there are lots of non MX people who own businesses
we rent beach front homes in hotel area at Tulum #vivamxadventures
You"re not expats. YOU ARE IMMIGRANTS.
Mexico is not in the Caribbean
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caribbean_Sea
You just learned something...
..
Mike Santos Lol, Caribbean sea dude.. It only shares a ocean. Mexico is in Central America (Or South America). I live in the caribbean btw, i would know!
***** Dude Mexico is in North America. Fire your Geography teacher.
boring show , the only good thing here is tulum , the show boring , i saw only 2 mins or less
David Cisneros you're an idiot
Para los gustos existen los colores
So how do you know it’s boring if you only watched 2 minutes? Sounds like you have ADD.
