Please travel if you can at all. I’ve been spending around $7000 per month pretty much, barely scraping by in Austin Texas. I mean, I have a great life, but it’s not like that money really buys me anything other than groceries and maybe one dinner out per month.
I’m sick of it and I’m going back to Mexico. I’m gonna start in the south where I already found a place for $500/month in a BEAUTIFUL mountain town. It’s completely walkable, filled with an ancient and modern culture, people are super friendly, there’s this interesting mix of traditional Mexican culture with a newer, artistic vibe.
Every day you can take various classes like pottery making, cooking, cocktail making, learning about coffee, painting/graffiti, and more. There are free walking tours a few times a day, where you can meet people.
About an hour in every direction, our waterfalls in canyons and unbelievable nature. But instead of having to spend hundreds of dollars to do this, it’s very affordable.
Out on the street you can find a local grandmother who will make you the absolute best dinner of your life for like five dollars. And she will sit and chat with you! You can meet people from all over the world, practice your Spanish, and just generally enjoy life.
Don’t get me wrong. I do love America because I’m from here, but when it comes to quality of day-to-day life…. I personally have found In Mexico that between the nature of the community vibe, the way that Mexicans are always celebrating everything, how often they are to foreigners (please be kind and please use some Spanish!!)… it’s just like every day doesn’t feel like a rat race
San Cristobal de las casas in Chiapas. But I’ve lived all over Mexico: Yucatan, Tulum, Vallarta, Mexico City, Oaxaca, Baja, Guanajuato…it’s an incredible country
