After receiving a call from a friend in California to return back to the states for a short term work contract, Myles discovered the Dot Com Boom of the late 1990s and eventually relocated his family to Los Angeles. After a year or so of work, they eventually left California and moved to Arizona, where he lives now. | After receiving a call from a friend in California to return back to the states for a short term work contract, Myles discovered the Dot Com Boom of the late 1990s and eventually relocated his family to Los Angeles.

He found the state of Arizona to be far more like his upbringing in Australia, where "the buck stops here" and you are responsible for all you do. But the biggest difference was that the opportunities of the United States meant that you were also the beneficiary of the risks and hard work that you take. | He found the state of Arizona to be far more like his upbringing in Australia, where "the buck stops here" and you are responsible for all you do. But the biggest difference was that the opportunities of the United States meant that you were also the beneficiary of the risks and hard work that you take. Myles believes that these basic fundamental principles transcend the divisiveness of US politics, and are more a deeply individual and openly questions the party focus of US social culture, against the interests of the individual. | ||

Living in Arizona, Myles began to explore south into Mexico with his family and discovered a beautiful country full of free people. Despite the news media giving Mexico horrible coverage, his own experiences there were with wonderful, freedom loving people, and eventually had major surgery in Guadalajara to repair the long standing damage from his car accident in the 1990s. The USA medical system is uncompetitively priced and although Myles believes that one should not rely on government provided healthcare, he is a true free market advocate which meant that he took advantage of shopping around for the best providers and best deal on surgery - eventually deciding on Guadalajara, Mexico. The outcome was incredible and the experience was 5 star. For 1/12th of the cost of US medicine, he proved that Mexico is not the storyline that the mainstream media would portray it, and as a result he is an evangelist for [https://www.beunconstrained.com/article/details/mexico-medical-tourism-putting-yourself-first-for-a-change Mexico Medical Tourism] and [https://www.beunconstrained.com/article/details/medical-tourism-in-mexico-how-to-save-up-to-75-on-your-dental-costs Mexico Dental Tourism]. | Living in Arizona, Myles began to explore south into Mexico with his family and discovered a beautiful country full of free people.
