I'm a Mexican female living in Mexico all her life. I've noticed that the cost of living in Mexico has been rising rapidly and at the same time, we needed to move out of our home in Queretaro, Mexico. What were we going to do?
As we looked at our options, we saw we would need to spend more money to have the same standard of living in Queretaro, Mexico. We realized the cost of living was increasing in Queretaro.
Which were our options? Why we moved out of Mexico? We evaluated different factors to think if we could stay in Queretaro, move to another city in Mexico or move to another country. Here's the breakdown of the video:
1. Our personal situation 2. The things you can't change? 3. What can we control?

#mexicanculture #livinginmexicoI Stopped Being a Digital Nomad, Why?La Karencita2023-07-30 | Have you ever wondered what life is like as a digital nomad? Or maybe you're part of the digital nomad lifestyle and are contemplating a change? In this video, I delve into the real reasons behind my decision to step away from the digital nomad life.
In 2019, I left my office job to embark on an adventure with my husband, Dave. I was hungry for the almost elusive idea of being a digital nomad. Since then, we've experienced it a couple of times, including our time in Mexico. We always harbored the desire to keep travelling and living as digital nomads, but we grappled with the idea of settling down for a long time...until a few months ago.
We chose to stop and settle down here in Mexico. What happened? Stick with me, and I'll share my perspective and how I feel now.
Don't forget to like, comment, and share this video with others who might be questioning their digital nomad lifestyle.

Take a free class at Thriveinspanish.comIs the Expat in Mexico Dream Over?La Karencita2023-06-21 | Is the "ex-pat" dream in Mexico dying?
Over the last few years, more and more people have decided to move to Mexico, for many reasons. The most important for many, the low cost of living in Mexico.
The fluctuating exchange rate, paired with inflation, influences the cost of living in Mexico significantly. However, many ex-pats or immigrants have their savings in dollars or receive their income in the same currency. Therefore, they are directly affected by these exchange rate shifts.
In the past years, we also saw a surge in videos on YouTube about gentrification in Mexico City and other areas across Mexico too.
What's happening now that the Mexican peso is getting stronger and inflation too?
If you are considering a move, or just curious about the Mexican situation, this video offers you another insight that you might consider interesting. I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

Join me on an exciting journey as my husband and I explore Cuenca, Ecuador. And discover with me why this city is becoming the go-to place for foreigners looking to improve their quality of life.
I decided to come and see by myself what Cuenca has to offer that makes foreigners desire this city to live in. My husband and I are on a journey to explore potential places that can make our life improve according to what we enjoy about a city so we didn't doubt about coming to this place.
A few days ago, a student of mine sent me an email saying he was in Cuenca too. He shared with us his reasons for choosing Cuenca as his retirement destination over other popular places like Queretaro, Mexico and Medellín, Colombia. I interviewed him and uncovered some fascinating insights that will inspire you to consider Cuenca as your next retirement spot.

We have been living in Colombia for 3 months but it's time to leave now.
How did we feel?, Was is safe? My life in Colombia was full of new experiences and perspectives. I'm very thankful I had this amazing opportunity and even though we are leaving, I'm scared I'm enjoying it so much that I want to come back and probably live more time in Colombia.Third world countries - THE REALITYLa Karencita2023-03-19 | Do you know where the term third world and first world come from? Did you know that these terms are now considered outdated and even offensive? Do you often refer to countries as being first world countries or third world countries?
Maybe after watching this video, you will think twice about using calling a country first world or third world. Nowadays these terms are not considered very useful and generally other terms like developed or developing countries are used instead.
As I am Mexican and I am now living in Colombia, I head a lot of people refer to these countries as Third World countries. It isn't just foreigners that use these terms. Latino people often refer to themselves as "tercermundista" when they complain about the situation in their country
In this video, I talk about why this can be problematic and I am very curious to hear what you think about this topic.

From spectacular biological diversity to peculiar cultural quirks, here are 5 amazing things you didn’t know about Colombia. I'm a foreigner living in Colombia and I'm experiencing cultural shocks about this country. On my daily life in Colombia, I've learned quite a few interesting things about this diverse country.
Colombia has more biodiversity than any other country in the planet. But not only that, as outsiders of Colombia, we can also see its diversity in the people, its music and its culture!
1. Colombia is so diverse: Colombian people have a variety of etnicities. African- Colombian people on the coast and very European looking appearance in the interior. 2. Colombian music is unique: Colombia has a huge variety of musical rythms. From the traditional ryhtms to the new Colombia reggaeton that is emerging. 3. Colombian Spanish is so cool and different: How they use the Colombian Spanish and "VOS" 4. ESTRATOS: Social organiation in Colombia that a unique quailitie's people's life. 5. Colombia has a lot of biodiversity
#foreignersincolombia #colombia #digitalnomadYou love clickbait titles and you didnt know! #shorts #shortLa Karencita2023-03-10 | The Art of Clickbait: How YouTubers Lure You In 😱😵 Watch the full video: youtu.be/3Ac6IrykSwEThis youtuber RUINED my cityLa Karencita2023-03-04 | Do youtubers ruin everything? Is your city being gentrified because of Youtubers? Are cost of living videos making life worse for everyone?
I've made several videos about the cost of living in Mexico. And these have been some of the most popular videos on my channel. However a lot of people have been telling me that I'm the cause of gentrification in the city where I was living, Querétaro in Mexico. Querétaro is a city which has become very popular for Americans who want to move to Mexico and at the same time, the cost of living has risen a lot in recent years.
Now I am living in the beautiful city of Manizales in Colombia and naturally, I wanted to make another video about the cost of living and my monthly expenses in Colombia. But this time I was worried about what people would say. Would people think that I will cause gentrification in Colombia too?
As a digital nomad, I think that it's useful to know what the cost of living in a new place is, before I decide whether or not I should go. But so many people say that digital nomads like me cause gentrification. I don't know what's right.
What do you think? Let me know if you think that making videos about the cost of living in different cities is a good of a bad thing.

I'm a Mexican female that left Mexico to start travelling as a digital nomad and my first destination is Colombia. We came to a small city in Colombia called Manizales. We came to Manizales in the summer of 2021 and we found it a tranquil and comfortable city to live in Colombia. But, why are we staying in a non-very popular place in Colombia? When we decided to travel again, we decided to live in Manizales, Colombia for a few months.

Learn Spanish with me here: lakarencita.com/online-spanish-classes Since the pandemic, more and more people are being able to work remotely. As a result, we’re seeing a lot of people, mostly from the US and Canada coming to Mexico to work online, enjoy what Mexico has to offer, and also take advantage of the lower cost of living.
I'm a Mexican female who is being living in Mexico all her life. I've noticed that the cost of living in Mexico has been rising rapidly. A lot of people have been blaming these price increases on the foreigners who move to Mexico who generally are earning much higher salaries than locals. What do I think of this?
I come from a state in Mexico that forced me to look for a job in cities with employment. I arrived in Queretaro. Queretaro has become very popular in the last few years and with that, the cost of living in Queretaro has increased too. Did gentrification force me out of Queretaro?
