En route from Mexico City, Mexico
I’m certainly a proponent of taking advantage of everything the world has to offer.
This includes looking for nice places all over the world. I love spending time in Thailand, Italy, Chile, Croatia, Brazil… But sometimes we forget what’s in our own backyard.
It’s been a couple of years since I’d traveled to Mexico, and I’m embarrassed to say that I’d forgotten how much I like it here.
The food is great, the weather is warm, people are friendly, the culture is vibrant, and it’s in many cases shockingly cheap.
More importantly it’s a place where you can exist without mother government trying to regulate every last aspect of your life—from what you put in your body to how you raise your children.
Of course Mexico today has a dark stigma of drug-related violence and police corruption hovering over it like a dark cloud.
In a way it’s like Colombia, another place I’ve visited recently.
Both countries are pictured as incredibly dangerous places that sensible people should avoid.
But that’s simply not the reality. And just like a good investment, Mexico and Colombia represent undervalued opportunities.
The stigma about violence and chaos sets prices low, so there are very solid opportunities to buy right now. Especially given how cheap both of their currencies are right now.
What’s great about Mexico is that it’s such a big country, so there are a lot of choices.
From Mérida to Monterrey, Guadalajara to Puerto Vallarta, Colima to San Miguel, there are dozens of great cities to choose from with inexpensive lifestyles and vibrant expat communities.
Mexico is an easy transition to living abroad, for both North Americans and Europeans.
There’s a lot of obvious influence that comes from the north, while at the same time from centuries of colonial European flavor. So it feels very familiar, while at the same time you can feel much more free.
In terms of investment opportunities; as an agriculture investor, I’m keenly observing the country as it positions itself to be a major exporter of high value crops.
Bottom line—whether you’re looking for a nice, warm, inexpensive place to relax or retire, thriving entrepreneurial hotspots, or attractive business and investment opportunities, Mexico is certainly a place to consider.
