It’s time to take a trip back in time with these vintage photos of Mexico.
As someone who loves old photos (and Mexico) it seemed only logical that I put together a post like this.
So, I scoured the Internet and dug up some of my favorites for your viewing pleasure.
Today, I’m here to answer the following query: where are the best places to live in Mexico?
…but first, a brief story.
Hello, my friends.
It’s been awhile since I’ve done a new post, and for that I apologize.
I’ve got a couple new projects in the works that have been eating my time.
But, I’m back to tell you what it’s like living in del Valle, Mexico City.
Whenever I tell folks where I live in Mexico City, they’re always surprised.
Really!?
Centro? Isn’t it dangerous?
Why did you decide to live there?
And fair enough…
Hey folks. Today I’m going to talk about expat life in Mexico City.
What to expect, how much you’ll spend, the pros, the cons. All that good stuff.
But first, a disclaimer…
Hello and welcome!
Today, I figured I’d draw up a short guide to Mexico City, my adopted home.
We’re talking places to eat, places to drink, safety, language, weather, transportation…
“I need to walk off this meal.”
“You sure? It’s best to get a taxi at this hour.”
I was speaking with a friend…
More commonly known in Mexico as “D.F” (Distrito Federal) or “CDMX”, Mexico City is the capital of Mexico and one of the world’s largest cities. The city is simply too vast to comprehend if you grew up in a second-tier city or lower. The only way to make any sense of it is to think of it in terms of districts and only mess with one or two of them if your stay is short. For this reason, I will deal only with a few neighbourhoods.
Short one today, fellas.
While organizing my computer, I found some old photos I took when I lived in Mexico City.
I thought I’d share them with ya’ll.
I’ll provide some commentary for each photo.
Enjoy!
I’d like to tell you a story.
Not a story in the Alice and Wonderland sense of the word, but rather a cautionary tale: a few words of warning for anyone wanting to travel or live in Latin America.
It’s important to listen closely, as the advice contained in this story is counterintuitive to what most people think it takes to fit in and adapt to a foreign culture.
Let’s begin.
