Hello all!
My husband and I are moving to Merida in April. We are both young and don't have children so we decided to go ahead and do the things we always wanted to do - like move somewhere beautiful and finally become bilingual! We have good working Spanish but we are excited to improve.
I am so excited but also very scared. I have done a good bit of research and read a lot of forums, and everyone seems to just adore Merida - except for the heat! Since we are coming from Arizona, I am hopeful that we will be able to handle it.
My major worries are about finding a house with a yard for my dog, finding work (I have a freelance job I can do from home but my passion is teaching English), and getting around without a car. We live pretty simply now and plan to to do the same in Merida.
Oh, my husband also plans to drive down from Arizona and along the coast, while I will fly and meet him in Merida. Does anyone know how safe it is to drive that route at this time?
Any insights are much appreciated!
