There are three, very different cities in Chiapas which I think could be ideal as a retirement or slow travel location. Today, we’re taking a look at Comitán de Domínguez, Comitán for short, which is about two hours away from San Cristobal de las Casas, my current home.

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…
