Is there anyone living in Puerto Morelos who knows if there is an expat community there. Thanks, Dena
IMO they all taste and cost about the same. We get offered water delivery but it's not very regular. Our best bet is to walk next door to Oxxo and exchange our empty jugs for full ones ourselves. I'd say look for the nearest water supplier ... Read More

I'm here with my family. We'd visited a number of times and knew our way around a bit. Plus there is usually an active homeschool community here, although that has largely dried up due to the pandemic. I like that Playa has excellent medical ... Read More
Life as a digital nomad in Malaysia by Diksha
Hi everyone, Digital nomadism has become more and more popular in the past few months and Malaysia seems to be the perfect spot for it. If you are a digital nomad yourself, please share with us your experience of this new way of working in ...
With the chronic traffic jams in KL I cannot imagine trying to take the bus! Your friends are brave. It was either the LRT or a Grab for me, but the latter does get expensive after a while even though it's far cheaper than rideshare services in ... Read More

Depends on what part of the city you live. There are a lot of gaps in city that the train lines don't service. If you're in KLCC, transit is excellent. I was in Setiawangsa for a while, and could easily take the red line down to KLCC. But ... Read More

I'm living in Playa del Carmen, just a bit south of PM. From what I've seen, many of the foreigners living there are more snowbirds/part timers and digital nomads. It's a quiet area, though. Just make sure you plan to have a car to get ... Read More

Hi everyone, Finding suitable activities for your children during the school holidays in Mexico can be tricky. We'd love to hear your tips and feedback on how to keep your kids busy during the holidays in Mexico, depending on your ...
Due to the pandemic, and escalating cases of the delta variant throughout the country, we are not participating in group activities this summer. The vaccination rate throughout Mexico, but especially in my state of Quintana Roo, is too low for me to ... Read More

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good real estate agent in Puerto Morelos, Mexico Thanks, Greg
The local facebook groups are really active with realtors who do know a lot about the area. It may be helpful to look at the Puerto Morelos fb group to get some leads. We just moved to Playa del Carmen in May. We got an Airbnb for 2 weeks and looked ... Read More

I was in Malaysia as a digital nomad when borders closed in 2020. I travel full time with my family. Pre-pandemic it was easy to go for 3 months visa free. That's how we were there. No work visas, etc. Malaysia doesn't do that. There's ... Read More

Hi Everyone. I moved to Playa del Carmen for a year with my family earlier this year. Previously we lived in Asia for 2 years. I work online and travel full time, but the pandemic has caused us to slow down and stay put for a while until travel is ... Read More
