What is life like as an expat in your area?

"Life for expats and digital nomads in Merida is generally quite pleasant. The city is known for its vibrant culture, friendly locals, and affordable cost of living. Expats and digital nomads can enjoy the city's many attractions, such as its colonial architecture, vibrant nightlife, and numerous outdoor activities. The city also offers a wide range of international cuisine, making it easy for expats and digital nomads to find food that suits their tastes. Additionally, the city is well-connected to other parts of Mexico and the world, making it easy to travel to and from Merida. All in all, Merida is an ideal destination for expats and digital nomads looking for a vibrant and affordable place to live," said another expat in Merida, Mexico.

"That is a broad question to answer. I have lived in 2 other Central American countries and will say they focus a lot more on family than we do in the USA. Merida is by far more sophisticated than where I've lived before, is a wealthier city than I've lived in before. I would expect the proximity to the US has affected values, although the Yucatan retains much Mayan culture, different than the rest of Mexico," wrote a member who made the move to Merida, Mexico.
