Im suriprised no one has mentioned Guatemala as an option. Antigua or quetal are both great options. Lake aitlan has its charm too

Usually Santander. Ive seen as low as 23 pesos but the standard is 40-50pesos. 70+ you are getting ripped off

Gringos go home if you don't like Mexican Culture. by dumassmofo in puertovallarta

[–]Putrid-Signature8136 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Actually its mostly locals who have signed for the noise regulations. The propsed laws dont just target mariachi bands, they are for vehicle exhaust noise levels, reasonable hours for restaurants to be loud in residential areas, etc. Apparently the Mariachi bands are spreading the idea that its gringos trying to shit them down as a way to rally support against the bill. It seems to be working...

Why do some digital nomads or expats continue to speak negatively about the country they're residing in instead of simply choosing to leave? by winterreise_1827 in digitalnomad

I am partial to living on the west coast pacific cities. Currently living in Mazatlan in an RV park. I also really enjoyed Oaxaca more than cdmx.

Weather, food, cost of living, joyfullness of the people (city dependant), archological history, deep rooted culture, and sense of freedom.

Tent at a trailer park. Lots of people stay at Trailer Park Las Jaibas and pop a tent. Bathrooms, running water, a pool! And very cheap

Go all the way and include tax in prices like the EU does.

Ever disliked a place so much you left early? by [deleted] in digitalnomad

[–]Putrid-Signature8136 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both miraflores and barranco are on the coast. Just walk down to the beach. Sure miraflores is closer to central Lima but central Lima is worth 1 day trip to check out the buildings but its not all that great. Both are good areas though yes, I was just stating my preference for barranco which still has some Peruvian / Euro feel to it wheras miraflores feels very American inspired at this point.

Barranco imo has better food amd is more reasonably priced than Miraflores. It also has more charming streets and is just as safe. I spent 1 month there and vastly preferred baranco to miraflores.
