What do you love most about San Miguel de Allende?
POR CULPA DE GENTE COMO TU, SAN MIGUEL ES MUY CARO,,,,,VAYANSE A OTRO LADO!!!!!!
Can you speak of child care expenses? Schools? Different activity costs?
If I could just figure out how to run my art business and sell on line in the US yet spend most of my time in San Miguel!
Demographics? Old ladies with multiple dogs. Adios.
San Miguel is s beautiful place. I love living there. It is very expat heavy and it is one of the more expensive places to live in Mexico as a result. But it’s incredibly beautiful the climate is downright perfect and it’s definitely worth a visit. But if you are considering moving here do your homework because it is not necessarily inexpensive especially if you want to live in the centro area. Michele is a great resource so if you are considering moving here you should definitely connect with her she’s amazing. I couldn’t have made my move here without her.
I love this interview. For the natives in Mexico, some of the costs of living are expensive. Of course, it is affordable for a Canadian or American. San Miguel De Allende is beautiful and it should be on everyone’s bucket list.
Great introduction about SMA
Enjoyed thank you
SMA is a place for tourists and expats, they pay for the exaggerates prices is a trap for people, is a place without much to give, Querétaro is half an hour from there and that's a very beautiful place, much better than SMA
Thanks for correcting the word Americans with people from U.S. 👍
Casa Elm is a beautiful guest house. I spent 2 weeks there in February. My host Michelle is amazing. It is located in a peaceful community and I felt right at home. I can’t wait to return. SMA is at the top of my list as the place where I will set up the next chapter in my life. I’m still researching but so far it is SMA. The people, the food and where it is located in Mexico combined are the ingredients for a good life. Continued blessings Michelle.
Thank you Risa! Loved it! See you Sunday!
Your interviews just keep popping up in youtube, just when I have forgotten about them, every inteview equally interesting and informative, every interview reminds me this coming Sept.. I will be elegible to retire and go back to my beautiful country, after almost 40 years living in Southern Ca. .
Such an excellent interview!
You did an excellent job describing the beauty of SMA but most importantly Mexico! Saludos!
LOVED this episode!!!💐 ¡Gracias!👊🏿
I loved that church! We'd visited there in October of 2018, and had went into that church. I still have a picture of "the gentleman" in the clear casket. Breath taking. I also loved going across the street to the "center of the city" and enjoy a homemade crepe made by a woman who made it with hazelnut chocolate.
Honestly I don’t think I’d want to live in Mexico right now too damn scary
Amazing young Sistah and epic relocation journey. Thanks for spotlighting!
Very interested in San Migel so this up to date info was helpful. Thank you both
