Mexico City is Paradise!

Mexico City: one of the best cities for living, street photography, travel, food, coffee, chocolate, meat, dessert, fancy restaurants, street food/tacos, affordable, bread, and more.

What else do you need?

My favorites

Roma Norte: for living (get your daily bread at Rosetta, or a great espresso at ‘Alma Negra’)

Condesa: for hanging out/partying/coffee (Blend Station)

Polanco: for fancy food (Dolce Patria) and the best Cochinita Pibil (El Turix– order the ‘panucho’– deep-fried taco).

Ideal for digital nomads

Alma Negra; my favorite coffee shop in Roma Norte, Mexico City

Relatively cheap cost of living
Great startup culture (my favorite place to work is ‘Blend Station’). Ubiquitous wifi (not as fast as Vietnam, but good enough)
Great food
Great youth culture

Great for street photography

People are incredibly friendly, and not anti-camera or anti-photo
Parents aren’t paranoid about you photographing their kids
Tons of street life and people
Great colors
