    With all of my videos, my intention is to share with you the Merida lifestyle from my point of view, a black man living in Merida, Mexico. My objective is to be unbiased and honest about my experience.
    Merida, Yucatán is an incredible city, filled with beautiful architecture, history, and delicious foods. From my first day in Merida, I fell in love with the city, and I'm sure you will too.
    There's quite a bit to enjoy about Merida, including:
    - The culture, impressive architecture and historic buildings
    - The Yucatán foods
    - The cost of living in Merida, Mexico
    - Where to live in the city
    - The Merida night-life
    - The people within the expat community
    - The Safety
    - The Quality of Life
    - The Black Expat Community
    My Story
    In 2010 my family and I sold our home and all unnecessary belongings to travel the world with our two boys and our dog. Today we are still traveling and currently live in Merida, Mexico.
    If you have a desire to see the world, but just don’t know how to get started, then this channel is for you. I believe you'll agree that Merida is a place you will want to visit or even make your permanent residence.

    I live in Merida and I love it. I love the food, I love the cenotes, the ruins, the landscapes, the mangroves, the beaches, the springs, I love the people, if you come back to Merida let me know and I'll gladly give you a ride. I am a real estate consultant in Yucatan and I love everything in my state.

      I like the neighborhood you were walking through and the places you went along the journey in this video. Do you know how much it would be to rent a small apartment or house somewhere near there?? I like at least 1 and 1/2 bath and a minimum of 2 bedrooms. ❤ Thanks in advance to anyone who can reply! Buen viaje!!

    Curt, I grew up in Germany with a Romanian father and never felt 100 percent German. I have lived in the US for over 45 years and don't feel like an American. I have thought about living in Merida, and guess what, I'll be an expat there too. But that's alright. Treasure your family. They are more important to you than you may realize.

    I understand your desire to go back to your original home. I myself want to leave my country and go to Mexico to live. This has been my desire for years now. I am afraid to move alone to a country where I don't speak the language or know anyone

    What I sense is that you don't feel a sense of belonging anywhere you go. You might never feel that "belonging-ness" that you seem to crave. Rootless-ness is a problem for children "displaced" from an early age. It's something that diasporans are subject to. I hope you find what you're looking for in Trinidad..........Isaac Kawuki-Mukasa has written on this problem. You might find it an interesting read.
