- I lived in Mexico City (cdmx) for a few months this last year and wouldn't live here as a DN again but I think it's a perfect place for certain people...

Great review on CDMX Isabelle 👍👍
Thank you :)
I was there for 2 months in 21. I remember being on the bus one day and this crazy girl gets on with her bf and starts dancing around yelling "Ariba, ariba, ARIBA!!!"
Super content Isabelle as usual. I'm glad to see you getting in the zone and building the channel. San Jose, Costa Rica is another Latin American city with a lot of USA influence, but also with plenty of English speakers. And they love our music, especially genres like Jazz and classic rock. I do enjoy it there for one to two week vacations. It's about 30% more expensive than Colombia across the board.
Thank you Fred :)
I've heard Costa Rica is absolutely beautiful nature-wise. Would you recommend it for a few months or is it best as a quick vacation?
@@isabellerdgz I think you'd love it for a few months, in the capital San Jose or perhaps some of the beach towns. I'm more familiar with the former. The people are great. Some call Costa Ricans the hippies of Latin America. It's also a buyer's market for the AirBnBs, great rates.
In the capital, Escazu and San Pedro are considered of the nicer suburbs. The latter is closer to downtown. The US State Dept travel advisory is only Level 2. Street robberies exist, but are typically strong arm and without weapons. It's best to taxi or Uber at night, though I sometimes walk short distances in the early evenings in better, well lit areas with other people around.
@@fredsands9220 I'll definitely add it to the list, thanks for the info!
Just got to Mexico City and I will say the elevation and dry air are definitely a challenge.
The elevation gets better after 2-4 weeks! Was marathon training and yea it was really rough at first.
Dry air might get better for rainy season but i don't remember when that is 😬 good luck! Hope you have a good time :)
I don't know if it's because I was living near Bosque Chapultepec, but the pollution in CDMX didn't bother me at all when I was there ... weird. Or maybe I'm just used to living in polluted cities??!! 🤣🤣🤣
It's way way better in that area! Best area to go for a run :)
Is the water shortage affecting hotels and restaurants?
Hey, I haven't been in cdmx in 2024 so I don't have an accurate answer for you
As a digital emigrant, that is what you guys should be called. Expat is also an emigrant, Saludos desde CDMX
We'll be digital immigrants when we actually move somewhere. In the meantime, we travel continuously making "nomad" a more accurate description.
have u been to brazil
Not yet but I got ahold of my Brazilian birth certificate last year and will be getting my passport this year so I'm hoping to spend some time there soon.
Have you been?
@@isabellerdgz I haven't been, but my brother lives there, based on what i've heard you'll 100% enjoy it
i know what you mean with the air quality both in medellin and CDMX nomad in both cities its bad thats why i only did 1 month in each. i think u would fit perfectly in buenos aires(Good Airs) they got the metro system and everything major city offer. and your so right on it being westernized i had someone ask me to pay in us dollar and not pesos. maybe in the future but now mexico is way over run with american, check out peru as well heard nothing but great things from many nomads that lived there its my next destination next month.
Will definitely check out both Argentina and Peru :) Hope you have a good time there!
If the noise doesn't bother you than why wouldn't you go back?
The other cons i mentioned.
“Digital nomad” I think you mean immigrant💀💀💀
I haven't immigrated anywhere yet but hopefully in the future when I'm done moving around :)
@@isabellerdgz basically a gentrifying tourist
@@htz90cry harder
Damn. Gentrifiers are off the hook
She hasn’t applied for citizenship, hence the nomad part. Immigrants are leaving a country and trying to gain new citizenship elsewhere. She’d have to have a different visa to be considered an immigrant
What area did u live by ? Not roma right 😉
Jardín Balbuena
@@isabellerdgz dope plan moving to df in few day I stay hostel then look around for places on airbnb 😉
@@isabellerdgz that hella far from the gringo area 🤷♂️
@@elperro3056 Yep, but still close to the city center so i loved it :)
@@isabellerdgz 1000 USD per month okay I see what I can find coming in 2 day
