In this video, I share why I think Mexico City could be a great place to live and work, especially for expats. If I didn't make Thailand home, CDMX would be my next best choice. #mexicocity #cdmx #expatlife
My current base is in Thailand, between Bangkok and Phuket, but there's something special about Mexico City that draws me in, particularly the neighborhoods of Condesa and Roma.
I explore these areas, known for being suitable for remote work, and talk about why CDMX is an ideal place for expats. The city is friendly to dogs, which means a lot to me, and it's easy to get around by bike. The parks are full of life, with people enjoying the outdoors, which adds to the city's charm.

Food is another big plus here, with amazing local dishes everywhere. I take you to some favorite spots, like Tacos Guo, a place with a long family history. Despite the higher costs, areas like La Condesa are safe and full of life, making them attractive to foreigners.
We'll also look at the everyday culture of Mexico City, from cozy cafes and bookstores to the incredible architecture and historic sites. Even with the challenge of adjusting to the altitude and a different service style, the city's active lifestyle, safety, and friendly people make it appealing for anyone considering making it their home.
Whether you're a digital nomad looking for your next spot or just curious about life in one of the most dynamic cities, this video is for you. From the easy-to-navigate streets of Condesa and Roma to the hospitality of its residents, find out why Mexico City might just be the perfect place for expats. Follow me as we discover what makes CDMX a strong candidate for a home base where history, culture, and convenience come together.

I lived in Mexico 3 years and Thailand 3 years. I love Thailand for ease and safety. The food is amazing, friendly ppl and beautiful landscapes. I would love Thailand more if they would offer better visa options for long term visitor's. Its such a hassle and racket with their immigration. Mexico gives you 180 days visa free which is so easy and stress free. Its easy to qualify for a 4 yr temporary visa and you can get permanent residency. Thailand makes it hard to get permanent residency. Mexico is getting very expensive now but I plan to retire there

Thailand is super easy to get a long term visa. You just have to pay for it. It’s like $3k/ year for a business visa. $30k/ for a 5 year elite visa so $6k/ year. Or just marry a Thai girl and it’s $30/yr for a marriage visa. You just don’t know the right people. Search harder.

Nicely done! For a long time the massive population of CDMX kept me away. A couple years ago I decided to rip the band aid and fell in love with CDMX. I am a runner and thus felt at home in Condesa. Thanks for showing the cost of a haircut and laundry. I have a barber in GDL that charges about 150 MXN. I am definitly looking forward to returning and meeting up with the local running groups. Enjoy your stay!

Its Thailand vs rest of the world now. Perhaps a decade or two back, it made some sense to compare Thailand vs Philippines, US, UK, Mexico etc, however, Thailand has moved so far ahead in all metrics leaving rest of the world in dust. Thailand keep building more condos, so no increase in rental even if a million digital nomads move there, internet is already 5G, infrastructure is world class, cheap food, transportation, great culture, good service, nightlife, beach, its all there plus low crime. Thailand is doing everything right while rest of the world is going in reverse.

Solid video! This is an AND decision for me, not an OR decision. Bangkok and CDMX are some of the best cities in the world. The only problem is that they're almost exactly 1/2 way around the world from each other. But if you can afford it, have a home base in both places.

You only watch crime videos on Mexico you're going to think all of Mexico is a warzone 24/7, that was more my point. The way people talk about the country, most likely those who've never been, you'd think every street was dusty and people were running for cover every time they step outside their door.

I agree with rude and arrogant people that go to other places and are not respectful. However, as far as gentrification that is happening everywhere, even in the United States, which is why people are leaving to explore other countries for a better life the same way that people from Central, South America, even from Asian countries went to the United States for a better life. Anytime there’s a war or global conflict, or governmental issues there will always be immigration !Many of them stay in enclaves segregate with their own people, found it difficult to learn the language and trust me as an immigrant here to Mexico I often get shy and insecure about fitting in, especially with light hair, skin and eyes. I’m from Texas originally so it’s not as difficult to say someone from Canada or northern USA However, I don’t live in Mexico City. It did start out living in Playa del Carmen for almost 2 years and grew very tired of being around other Expats and a tourist trap where I was always treated as a tourist although I have my legal residency here. That doesn’t bother me too much because it’s easy to make assumptions as you are doing here. I now live in Pachuca, 1 hour north of CDMX where I have lived for one happy year as a single lady and I have not met one other American or Canadian. I love it and although I will probably never fit in no matter how great my Spanish gets, my neighbors and the people in the town have grown to recognize me support me in my decision to be here and are very kind. On that note, I do make an effort to practice my Spanish every day and I’m just in love with the way of life here. I went back to the USA in January to visit friends and was gone for three miserable weeks. Everyone seems so sad stressed out angry. It’s not colorful. It just seemed so gray and nothing but fast food places and shopping malls. The only major culture is football. I could not wait to get back to my home here in Pachuca. I would be so sad if I ever had to move back to USA.

I would also not take it personally if someone can’t speak Spanish. It takes a lot of time to learn a new language, especially when you’re older and have multiple freelance jobs and hardly any time. I know it’s difficult for me. I’m just shy to speak Spanish bc I think I sound stupid. Sometimes people are shy and the easiest way to get over that is to ignore people. I would not take it personally at all. Americans all wish they could speak Spanish. They’re mostly just embarrassed that they can’t and as a result they may come across as rude but that is not the intent.

Ramon, the distiction between *immigrant and *expat/digital nomad maybe: "immigrants" flee their land for opportunity and to make income from the country they go to. Often, they cannot return to their home country, such as Chinese attempting to immigrate into the U.S. through Mexico. Often, China will not accept them return of the U.S. does not grant them a visa. "Expats or digital nomads" leave their home country for "quality of life" or a unique experience that they cannot find in their country, but they can return anytime. They do not rely or need the new country for income. A form of extended tourism. The latter is the case for me.

These foreign people, only showing the nice parts of the city like roma, condesa and Polanco, the most gentrified neighbourhoods of all the country. But they never set foot outside those neighbourhoods 😹😹, because of course, insecurity is more present. You don't seem to be showing the real side of Mexico City... Like Iztapalapa, and others... And of course, Mexico State (Estado de México) is the most forgotten part by foreigners, literally it amazes me how there is literally NO FOREIGNERS here, because Estado de México is indeed, the place you get to see in news, very dangerous at any hour, with horrific traffic, horrific public transport, horrific arquitecture and urbanization. But ofc, you wont be going to ugly places don't you?. Just wanted to tell you that this city has a huge breach of inequality

todas las ciudades en el mundo tienen sus lugares feos ,peligrosos y menos turísticos. si es que realmente eres "mexicano" deberías de estar contento que se muestre los lugares bonitos de México. te noto muy recentido,¿no serás sudamericano?

@@azrael3137 Soy del estado de México, entonces tienes que dejar de generalizar. El problema con la zona metropolitana es grave, y estoy harto de la desigualdad que se vive aquí. No, no estoy contento que se muestre solo las zonas bonitas porque dan una falsa idea de lo que es la ciudad. Cómo mexicano quiero hacer visible todo los problemas que tenemos para que se solucionen lo más pronto posible, porque la realidad es que ni más del 80% de la población vive en las condiciones de vida como en Roma, condesa y Polanco.

@@peanutnukle I think so🤔 but this is not the problem, the problem is that some retirees do not like the Mexican culture because we are very noisy, we party celebrating everything, and we really like loud music. I think some Mexican places are not for them due to this.
