    I happened upon this video by chance. I love the tiny home lifestyle. What a surprise to learn Amy’s plan to move to Mérida Mx. it just so happens I live in Mérida. I moved here in Jan 2013, rented several places, bought property and renovated an old colonial, then sold and moved back to the states for five years for family reasons. I recently moved back to Mérida where I intend to stay for good. Mérida is a wonderful place to live, which I’m sure you already know. Even after living here for seven years prior, I’m discovering more and more of Merida’s charm. Bienvenidos, Amy. I hope I get the opportunity to meet you at some point.
