living in london: a local’s HONEST take | moving to london, expat lessons & london vs mexico

Hiya everyone! This week’s episode puts me in the hot seat as mexican expat esteban turns the questions on me! We talk about why I created a channel focused on london expats and what it’s taught me about living in london. Has speaking to so many expats changed how I see the city? I also share two things I’d change about london after hearing so many different perspectives on moving to london and starting over in a new country. We also dive into my own experience of living abroad - from being an expat in paris to spending time in rural argentina - and how those experiences shaped my view of london life. If you're thinking about moving to london, leaving london, or relocating internationally, I share practical advice and honest reflections on what to expect. Plus, a quick-fire round of my thoughts on living in mexico, after visiting esteban’s birthplace together over the winter - including cultural differences, yummy food, and how it compares to london. If you’re researching life in london, wondering whether london is worth moving to, or curious about london vs mexico lifestyle differences, this episode is for you.
