The Man Behind the Moves
Atlanta. The World.
Playa del Carmen.
I'm Felipe Barganier — CEO of GAB International, bestselling co-author, and one of the few entrepreneurs who built serious businesses in the US, then had the clarity to rebuild an even bigger life in Mexico.
A University of Rochester graduate and Atlanta native, I spent nearly two decades mastering financial services — earning national awards and the BenefitsPRO cover. Then COVID gave me a gift: clarity. I moved to Playa del Carmen and never looked back.
Today, GAB International spans real estate investment, concierge relocation, wellness retreats, medical tourism, and functional medicine — all rooted in the Riviera Maya. I don't sell people Mexico. I live it, and I help them live it too.
“The energy and peace of the Riviera Maya allowed me to feel my stress decrease the moment I arrived.”

The Riviera Maya Advantage
