"Retiring in Merida provides many rewarding aspects. The climate is mild year-round with ample amounts of sunshine and warm temperatures. This makes Merida an ideal place to enjoy outdoor activities, such as swimming, exploring nature trails, shopping, and sight-seeing. Additionally, the cost of living is much lower than many other places in Mexico and the US, making it a great choice for those who want to stretch their retirement funds. Further, Merida is an incredibly culturally-rich city, which offers unique cultural attractions, lively nightlife, modern amenities, and friendly locals. With a vibrant historical center offering a range of architecture, many popular festivals, and a vast array of delicious food, Merida is a great place to experience true Mexican culture. Finally, Merida is conveniently located near the Caribbean Coast and the ruins at Chichen Itza, so you can enjoy day trips to explore Anglos culture, nature, and history," remarked another expat who made the move to Merida, Mexico.
"We came from the US about 4 yrs ago, have always been adventurous and have lived in several states mostly in the west. For us it had nothing whatsoever to do with the political environment or the economics. We had saved and prepared well f or retirement, more lucky than smart. We knew the culture and people would be wonderful and the climate is so much better than in beautiful Seattle. Our kids are scattered throughout the US and we travel back every few months and they come here. Just what we hoped for. The city of Merida is fabulous. We live by choice in a neighborhood where no one speaks English so we try (somewhat successfully) to communicate in Spanish and to fit in. People are accepting and kind. Driving is an adrenaline rush every day. All in all, it has been 99% of what we had hoped and plan to stay for as long as our health is good. We have used healthcare here numerous times and have found it to be of highest level and advanced," explained one expat living in Mexico.
