Yeah, Roma is expensive & a bit crowded but it’s so so so beautiful 😩♥️ We actually chose to live in Del Valle - more families, more affordable & a bit more of a local vibe so we can actually use our Spanish.

Hey! There’s are a wealth of information out there. The first thing I’d do if I were you if figure out finances & visa requirements/residency. Then, the fun part, you get to choose where to live! Take a few scouting trips if you haven’t already & take your time really exploring different neighborhoods & pockets of each city you consider. ♥️ good luck! & let us know if you have any other specific questions.

When we pack up to head to Italy we’ll go through the process! It’s hard to describe unless we show us doing it in real time because 4 people to pack for is a lot of people lol

Thanks so much! We’re actually leaving & moving to Italy in a few months so we’re trying to capture all the memories of Mexico now :)

As a Mexican, blame your fucking local government, not these people that mean well. It's their greed that is causing all of this, not newcomers that will only end up improving this tragic country in the long run. Change your corrupt city and this horrible lecherous culture of greed that us Mexicans suffer from. Why do you think we are run by the cartels?

Thank you so much! :)

It’s because this is for anyone planning to make the move next year :)

Aww thank you! We’re happy to have you here with us :)

Thank you so much!!

Muchas gracias ♥️ nos encanta México 🇲🇽

Yes! Get him on board 👏🏾 are yall considering a move abroad in general or specifically Mexico City?

OMG your baby speaking Spanish is the cutest thing ever. 😊😊 More vlogs please 🥺

Yes! It becomes more & more apparent to me with each new destination we spend time in.

Yay! We’re so lucky to have you with us ♥️

Thanks for catching that typo!

I feel your sentiment & understand that so much of Mexico is in resinous gentrified at this point. I’ll also say that we’re here legally, navigate in Spanish & are doing our best to be respectful visitors while we are here.

I’m so glad you’ve had good experiences with Americans! Not all of us are as respectful as we should be but I’m happy to hear you’ve met some good people ♥️

We all have different experiences :)

CDMX is not Mexico.

@@bluemoonpeak stupid answer. CDMX is the capital. What are Mexicans if they are not

let’s not get crazy …. and Im half Mexican

Wishing you a successful move! Definitely document your journey, it will help others ♥️

I am from gdl born & raised , for english speaking schools i would recommend Canadian school its in providencia too! A lil on the expensive side but they have access to most of the autónoma university areas which makes it way nicer

The Roosevelt School was really good, our son was very happy there & the staff was wonderful. We chose it over the Canadian school for a few reasons but mainly the Canadian school felt larger & more “institutional”.. the Roosevelt school feels smaller & more like a family. Also, If I remember correctly, you may need a recommendation from a family who currently has a child enrolled in the Canadian school. Definitely tour both!

@@o.family.adventures my youngest nephew goes to roosevelt and used to go to marthin luther k. They’re also good, the reason my other nieces are in rolled in Canadian is that it was curricular value in Canada so you have both “papers” without having to re-validate if you’re ever moving away from Mexico back to northern countries

@@o.family.adventures i was as a kid in Lincoln school but its south of the city

Hey! I’m not sure about retirees, but there are definitely some older folks there living their best life! We know some semi-retired people who live in PDC. The heat can be extreme & there are coastal places with lower cost of living for a fixed income budget so it may not be a top contender. San Miguel Allende isn’t coastal, but they have a large retiree community. As well as the Lake Chápala area near Guadalajara.

Childcare has been very high quality & fairly affordable (for us). We’ve had expeeinces with a nanny agency, an independent nanny & a couple of private bilingual schools. Finding childcare is simple & the culture around children is wonderful so all the caregivers we’ve met have been really great. Similarly we’ve had housekeepers come when we lived in Guadalajara & now in Mexico City.. we kept the person who was already cleaning the house before we moved in so they wouldn’t lose the work & they were great - thorough & affordable.. very sweet. I frequently have lunch with the woman who comes now & it’s great because I get to make her more “American” food like grits lol

Hey! We found our place on Mercado Libre. & for now the kids are in school but we’re leaving Mexico City soon & will do a mis of Worldschooling & traditional school when we leave.

You simply don’t understand & that’s okay.

It is INSANE! 🤣

Muchas gracias ♥️🙏🏾

Hey! We really love Madrid, but didn’t settle there for a few reasons.. 1. The apartments are so small 😭 but that’s Europe for you lol & also we just didn’t live it enough to stop exploring for the length of time getting established there would take. Settling down in Madrid is more work that settling down in Mexico for a bit so popped back to Latin America. But we will definitely revisit Madrid soon!
