8 Reasons I would Choose to Live in Merida, Mexico

ByAnn 22 June 20225 July 2022

Taking some time to do a pro/con list of whether we should move back to Merida, or stay here in San Cristobal de las Casas… This video discusses all of my pros, all of my reasons to move back to Merida – starting with the most obvious: SAFETY!

I absolutely took for granted what it meant to be a safe city when I first lived in Merida, but I won’t be making that mistake again!

Topics I ponder in this video:
Being logical about moving back to Merida
Safety in Mexico (riots, shootings, and crazy people)
Bigger community
Amenities (deliveries, internet, etc)
Braces in Mexico
Kids Activities (taking classes, playgrounds)
Speaking English in Mexico – Do I need to know Spanish?
Quickly making local friends – fitting into the neighborhood
Quality of the water in Mexico
