In today’s world, it’s easy to believe that we live in a global village. But no matter how technologically connected we are, the truth is that most people in the world have never left their country. In order to be a global citizen with an understanding of other cultures and the value of diversity, it is important to explore and experience other cultures firsthand. If you’re looking for a destination full of culture and history, Mexico could be the right place for you.
Mexico is a friendly country with plenty of potential. There is culture, great food, and natural beauty everywhere. However, there are many things you should know before you move to Mexico. Learning about the culture and climate, safety concerns, and the economy can help you decide if Mexico is right for you!
In this episode, Michelle Wedderburn, the Founder and CEO of Expat Life Mexico (formerly Afro Expats) and, most recently, Casa ELM Boutique Guesthouse, joins us. She talks about her great experience living in San Miguel de Allende. Michelle shows us a better way to navigate your travel or move to Mexico.
