It’s going on nearly 2-months since officially moving to and living in Merida, Mexico. As with any major move abroad, we’re still adapting and adjusting and assimilating to local culture.

In this video I share the good and the bad … if any of these things annoy you, living in Mexico may not be for you.

So go ahead and watch and see if Mexico could be a good fit for you and your family.
