What do people like (and dislike) about Merida?
When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Merida, they replied...
"The only thing I do not like about anywhere in Mexico is the racism toward white people. I deal with it every day. However, it is the poor, uneducated, unsophisticated people, who are ignorant who do this. Racism is not that much of a problem in Central America like it is in Mexico. Or any other countries I have traveled to. But Mexico is the worst for it," explained one expat living in Merida, Mexico.
"Expats and digital nomads living in Merida often appreciate the city's vibrant culture, friendly locals, and affordable cost of living. They also enjoy the city's colonial architecture, delicious food, and easy access to the beach. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may find the heat and humidity of the city to be oppressive, and the lack of reliable public transportation can be a challenge," said another in Merida, Mexico.
