Mexico

I decided to start my life as a digital nomad in Mexico. This may have been a mistake. I love it here so much that I’m having trouble making myself leave!

I started in Cancun, then moved over to Campeche and stayed in several smaller towns in the Yucatan Peninsula. I spent nearly two years in Cozumel. Now I’m exploring some more of the Caribbean coast. There are so many hidden gems that I can’t wait to tell you about!

I’m here to share what I’ve learned so you can get the most out of your time in Mexico.
