So many differences between living in the US and living here in Mexico!
Today I’m going to highlight three (with a bonus!) major differences between the homes!
Cisterna and Tinaco for water storage
Cisterna and Tinaco Fun (and not-so-fun) Facts
Heating your water for warm showers
Pipa (the last resort for getting water)
Propane Gas in Mexico
No outside trashcans?
There’s so much to know when it comes to moving to Mexico – and being able to ask a local, and a Merida Relocation Expert is SUPER helpful! This is my absolute favorite interview – and talking with Barby is always so much fun! Planning on moving to Mérida, Mexico? You might want to talk…
A year in review! Let’s look back at what I packed when I first came to Mexico, and see if I still agree with my original decisions! A review of all the things I brought to Merida and what I would have done differently. Let me know if you notice something missing!
A phenomenon I noticed, even before arriving – is that nobody seems to live in San Cristobal de las Casas! Many people say it’s a “must see” destination when traveling throughout Mexico – it’s the number one Pueblo Magico… people claim it’s their favorite city… but nobody stays! After being here for eight months, here…
I still get shocked when I think about how much my rent costs now, compared to the US… My ENTIRE MONTH BUDGET in Mexico, equals the cost of just my rent in the US… It’s honestly mind-blowing! So we’re going to be looking at 10 homes (plus a bonus), in Merida Mexico, all under $500…
These are the things we don’t particularly care for here in San Cristobal de las Casas, Mexico… and I wasn’t really prepared for all of this.
Four Year Temporary Residents… and Never Showed Proof of Income, Never Left Mexico… Easiest Residency Method (sort of)…
