This week on the podcast we are talking about Mexico City! We spent the last 7.5 months living in Mexico City and loved it. When people have been to Mexico City, they get it, but for others, they seem confused why we would choose to live there. Mexico City is easily one of the coolest cities in the world though, and quickly skyrocketed to the top of our lists for favorite cities we’ve been to!

On this episode, we talk about why we decided to base ourselves in Mexico City, how we went about finding somewhere to live, what life in Mexico City is like, why we loved living in Mexico City, what to do if you’re visiting Mexico City, some of our favorite restaurants in Mexico City, and more.

Enjoy!
