This was so helpful! I live in Savannah and we are considering to move our family of 4 to Merida. I find security in real numbers…Thank you!

In reply to Monte Raynor. Thanks so much for reading, Monte! I think anytime you can save, lots or a little, it's a win! :)

Great read Colby. I’m not sure we are saving like you but our lifestyle is much less here than in Atlanta as well.

Hi great read, loved that you branched our to make a totally different and cost effective life for yourself as a black woman in a Spanish speaking country. With that said, I have a few questions if you don’t mind, how are black people perceived? What’s the social scene? Do you find it difficult to date ?(assuming you’re single) and finally what’s the crime rate in Merida?

In reply to Kyra Greene. Same! I think so many people think that it's so much more expensive to live abroad, when in reality it's likely a heck of a lot cheaper. Thanks so much for reading!

So dope. Inspiring. I wish more people took leaps like this that leave them ahead in the end. Love all of this.
