🇲🇽 LIVING IN MÉRIDA, MEXICO — 6 YEARS LATER | EPISODE 3
Why are we still living in Mérida, Mexico after six years — and why aren’t we planning to leave?
In Episode 3 of our Honest 6-Year Review of Living in Mérida Mexico, we talk about something that can make or break your experience when moving to Mexico: building a real life and community after the excitement of relocation wears off.
We moved to Mérida in 2020 with no local family, friends, connections or established community. Six years later, Mérida isn't simply where we live — it’s home. 🇲🇽💜
In this episode, we discuss:
🏡 What expat life in Mérida Mexico actually looks like after several years
🤝 Why building a community matters when moving abroad
🌆 How much Mérida, Yucatán has grown and changed since 2020
✈️ Why Mérida is much more than a tourism or retirement destination
❤️ Why, after six years, we’re still here
🐶 And yes… our dogs make an appearance at the end!
If you're researching living in Mérida Mexico, moving to Mérida, retiring in Mexico, buying property in Mérida, or Mérida Mexico real estate, this series gives you our experience as full-time residents, investors and bilingual Realtors — not just the vacation version of the city.
