Settling into a new country as digital nomads isn’t always easy…⁣
⁣
…We spent our first full month in Medellin, Colombia going through a list of things to sort out for ourselves (per usual).⁣
⁣
It might look like we just land in a country and have everything sorted by day 1 but that’s certainly not the case.⁣
⁣
In each country as digital nomads, you have to:⁣
- Buy a local SIM card (or find an eSIM solution - @airalocom & @realnomadtravel are our faves)⁣
- Find your local grocery store⁣
- Get connected with the digital nomad community (constantly putting ourselves out there)⁣
- Figure out where to work (coworking vs cafes)⁣
- Plan the activities we want to do while visiting the country⁣
- And so much more!⁣
⁣
We heard so much about Medellin for digital nomads, we just had to check out what all the buzz was about (especially as we run a blog for digital nomads).⁣
⁣
This was also my (Ashley’s) birthday month and we went paragliding for the first time (2nd pic). We flew with @paraglidingmedellin 💯 I absolutely loved it - if you get the chance, it was a great experience!⁣

2022 didn’t start off as we expected…⁣
⁣
…lying on the beach in Thailand, one of our favorite places in the world. 🌴⁣
⁣
Instead, we were touring a couple more US cities: Phoenix, San Francisco and Miami! At this point, we didn’t know how our year would look but we just needed to nail down our next location as digital nomads.⁣
⁣
How did we do that? Simply go on Google flights, enter Miami (where we currently were) and don’t add a destination! There was one place that popped up that was high on our digital nomad destination list - Medellin, Colombia! 🇨🇴⁣
⁣
For $245.15 USD total, Matthew and I hopped on a 2 hour plane ride to a country (and continent) we’ve never stepped foot on before! 🥹⁣
⁣
We were tired of flying and traveling (faster than usual) and we decided to make Medellin our base for a few months but that’s for the next couple of posts to come…⁣

Well, that's the truth...🤷🏻‍♀️ ⠀ Dig Well, that's the truth...🤷🏻‍♀️

Digital nomad life isn’t for everyone.

There are days you’ll feel excited to live in a new country every couple of months, ready to learn about other cultures & always inspired by fellow digital nomads you meet on the road. 

But there are days where you’ll feel lonely, stuck, miserable and exhausted from moving and/or always making new friends. 

This digital nomad lifestyle is no way perfect, as it may look. But…

We wouldn’t have it any other way 🤍

Zagreb isn’t your likely destination when visiti Zagreb isn’t your likely destination when visiting Croatia 🇭🇷

In fact, lots of people never make it up this way. But digital nomads do!

Here’s the reasons we chose Zagreb as our digital nomad hub for the month of July:

💸 AFFORDABLE COST OF LIVING
Zagreb is less crowded during the summer time which means you get more deals on things like accommodation - its much cheaper than Split or Dubrovnik! Here’s some numbers (in USD) to give you a better picture:

🚊 Public transport = $0.80
☕️ Coffee + drinks = $2 - $4
🍽 Eating Out = $9 - $12
🛶 Activities = $5 - $50

👯‍♀️ GROWING DIGITAL NOMAD COMMUNITY
We’re surprised by how strong the community is in Zagreb! We made friends during our first coworking event & found an awesome group of digital nomads to hang out with ever since.

👩🏻‍💻 DECENT CAFE & COWORKING SCENE
We cowork at cafes with our friends at least 2-3 times a week. Coworking is kind of expensive here and imo not worth it because it’s too ‘corporate’ for our liking.

⛺️ GREAT BASE TO EXPLORE CROATIA
Plitvice Lakes is 2.5 hours away & popular coast towns like Pula, Zadar or Rovinj are only 3-4 hours drive away. You get the structure that comes from having a base but you get to travel/explore on the weekends - kinda perfect!

☺️ COMFORTABLE LIFESTYLE
Public transport is a breeze in Zagreb - you can take a bus, tram or walk into the city fairly quick. It's super safe here!

We’ve lived in Zagreb as digital nomads for a couple weeks now and tbh - we didn’t love it at first. But after some time, we can now say we are seriously enjoying our lifestyle here. The community is amazing and we’re so glad we chose Zagreb! It’s just so peaceful and comfortable (which you don’t expect from a capital city)!

Would you consider being a digital nomad in Zagreb?

Is Mexico on your mind?

Lately, it seems like it’s on everyone’s mind these days – even ours since we have visited twice in 1.5 years! Mexico has continued to grow in popularity. We can totally see why:

  • the beaches
  • the warm weather
  • the beautiful Mexican culture and
  • the drool-worthy Mexican food

But there’s probably one question on your mind before you start daydreaming of life in Mexico and that’s…

What’s the cost of living in Mexico?

Whether you are planning to retire in Mexico or you’re a digital nomad/remote worker looking to stay for a couple of months – it’s an important question to evaluate for yourself. While there isn’t a straight one-fits-all answer, there is an average cost of living in Mexico. We will also share our detailed cost of living in Mexico for the 3 different cities we did live in.

Let’s get started!

Why Live in Mexico?
Detailed Breakdown Of The Average Cost of Living in Mexico
Average Accommodation Costs – $700
Groceries / Food Costs – $285
Dining Out Costs – $300
Transport Costs – $50
Coworking Costs – $170
Entertainment Costs – $150
Travel Insurance / Healthcare Costs – $84

Why Live in Mexico?

Where do I even start?!

The tacos. The burritos. The tortas. The ceviche. The guacamole.

And that’s just the food! Need I say more?

birria de la 30 tacos playa del carmen mexico

For real though, there are so many reasons to live in Mexico apart from the food (although I’m pretty sure that’s one of the main reasons people go to Mexico). Here are some of the reasons to live in Mexico:

Affordable Cost Of Living In Mexico: Accommodation seems to be on the rise in Mexico, however, once your rent is covered – the food, entertainment and general cost of living in Mexico are pretty affordable for digital nomads, remote workers and retirees.

High Quality of Life: You can live a very comfortable life in Mexico. The wifi isn’t the fastest in the world but that’s okay because Mexico has beautiful nature, hikes and beaches to explore during your off-time. It’s also easy to fly/drive from one city to another if you want weekend adventures. It’s easy to have a high quality of life in Mexico!

What about the safety issues in Mexico?

Whenever you tell your friends and family that you’re going to Mexico – their reaction is slightly on the negative side right? That’s okay – it’s probably because they have never been and only see what’s being said on the TV.

While we were in Mexico, in all 3 cities, we have felt very safe. Obviously, we are seasoned travelers and take the necessary precautions as I’m sure you would too. While there are dangerous places to live in Mexico, there are also some of the safest places to live in Mexico.

Detailed Breakdown Of The Average Cost of Living in Mexico

What’s your rent going to cost?

What about your entertainment and activities cost?

How about healthcare costs?

When you’re living abroad in a totally new place, your costs is one of the most important to consider if not the most important). You need to know if you can afford the cost of living in Mexico with the kind of lifestyle you’re imagining for yourself.

The cost of living in Mexico depends on where you decide to stay. There are cities where rent is almost as expensive as New York and there are also cheaper cities. That’s why I’ve made it an average of some of the most popular cities in Mexico and I’m also going to share what it costs to live in Playa del Carmen, San Cristobal de las Casas and Merida in our personal experience.

Here is the full breakdown of the average monthly cost of living in Mexico for 2 people:

CATEGORY COST (USD)
Accommodation (medium-sized apartment) $700
Utilities –
Coworking $170
Groceries $285
Dining Out $300
Coffee $100
Drinking-Water $18
Transport $50
Phone Plan $25
Activities & Entertainment $150
Healthcare/Travel Insurance $80
Gym Membership $50

The average cost of living in Mexico for 2 people with a comfortable lifestyle is: $1,848 USD

Average Accommodation Costs – $700

This is the average price for a place that’s decent. We’re not talking about hostels, shared dorms or shared bathrooms. This price is for a decent studio/1 bedroom apartment. Our Airbnb in Playa del Carmen (photos below) cost us around $700 which was a steal.

living room tv one bedroom apartment playa del carmen

Accommodation costs vary from city to city and it is always going to be your biggest expense. Some places have gotten really expensive (like NYC-level prices) and I can’t fathom paying those prices. Other places are much cheaper and in turn, the whole cost of living in those areas is also generally low. While $700 USD is the average, in cities like Tulum and Mexico City – accommodation costs can go up to $1,500 – $2,000 USD per month.

Groceries / Food Costs – $285

I don’t know why but we can’t seem to do our groceries any lower. We have no idea how some people spend less than $50 on groceries a week (if that’s you, can you tell us your secrets?).

ashley shopping at DAC grocery playa del carmen

The prices for groceries at any of the major grocery stores like Mega or Chedraui are pretty low for things like avocado, tortillas, protein and vegetables. Here is an example of how much staple grocery items cost:

  • 12 Eggs: 33 pesos ($ 1.68USD)
  • 1L of Milk: 27 pesos ($ 1.36USD)
  • Loaf of Bread: 46 pesos ($ 2.32USD)
  • Apples: (43 pesos/kg ($ 2.17USD/kg)

There’s also Costco and Sam’s Club available in some cities which could be a great way to lower your costs. Overall – it’s honestly not expensive to do groceries and it’s some of the best produce we have ever seen.

Dining Out Costs – $300

These dining costs really vary from person to person. Some people love to go out for dinner or lunch and that’s where they like to spend their money. Others don’t enjoy eating out as much and cook more. We like to think we are in the middle and try to do half that’s how we came up with the number of $300.

eggs benedict sarajevo cafe
churros dessert lum restaurant

 

The average meal depends on what kind of cuisine you have – if you have local food it’ll be cheaper and if you have Italian or any other cuisine, it tends to be higher.

Transport Costs – $50

This depends on where you decide to live in Mexico. When we were in Playa del Carmen, we barely spent anything on transport because it’s such a walkable city. Merida on the other hand is a completely different story – if you live far from the city you’ll be taking Ubers everywhere (which racks up).

public transport bus merida mexico

The public transportation across Mexico is pretty good in terms of buses – you have ADO which goes pretty much everywhere for very low prices ($10-20 for a ticket). However, public transportation within the cities is different. You can take taxis and Ubers in some cities and others you just need a bike to get around.

Coworking Costs – $170

If you’re a digital nomad or remote worker, there are plenty of coworking spaces in Mexico. They all cost around the same, however, coworking in Merida was the most expensive we have encountered (around $340 for 2 people).

san cristobal de las casas digital nomad
conexion60 coworking space merida

 

The coworking space in San Cristobal de las Casas was the lowest we’ve paid (around $80 USD each). It all depends where you are but on average expect to pay around $170 USD.

Entertainment Costs – $150

Again…this really depends on you. Figure out what kind of activities you like to do and they honestly aren’t too bad in Mexico. You can take day trips from Playa del Carmen to Cozumel, swim in cenotes and visit any of the beautiful beaches. Some activities like chilling on the beach can be free whereas going to Cozumel can add up (ferry cost, transport and restaurants, etc).

swimming in cenotes playa del carmen mexico

Again, this is just an average – how much you want to spend is up to you. You can also have high spending months for entertainment then go on a couple of months of low spending. The best thing is that it’s easy to control your spending in Mexico while still doing fun stuff!

Travel Insurance / Healthcare Costs – $84

Affordable healthcare costs are one of the reasons people travel to Mexico. If you need any medical help, it’s easy to make appointments and get your procedures done at least half the cost of saying the US medical care.

safetywing digital nomad insurance

We use travel insurance wherever we go (and you should too btw) and we have evaluated some of the best digital nomad insurance companies. We use and recommend SafetyWing Travel Insurance. They are very affordable at only $42 USD per month and cover most things you could need (even COVID).

Our Personal Cost of Living In Mexico

While this is the average cost of living in Mexico, we also wanted to share our personal experiences with living expenses. We stayed in 3 different Mexican cities – Playa del Carmen, San Cristobal de las Casas and Merida. You’ll see our detailed breakdown of our cost of living in each city.

Cost of Living In Mexico – Playa del Carmen

We spent around 3 months living in Playa del Carmen and I have to say we got a great deal on our apartment which is why our costs turned out to be so low.

matthew cheesy tacos el fogon playa del carmen
playa del carmen digital nomad living

Nowadays that just isn’t possible. Being a Playa del Carmen digital nomad is super popular right now and I think that’s part of the reason the prices have skyrocketed.

Here’s our cost of living in Playa del Carmen, Mexico:

CATEGORY COST (USD)
Accommodation $684
Utilities –
Coworking –
Groceries $356
Dining Out $403
Coffee $144
Drinking-Water $18
Transport $48
Phone Plan $22
Activities & Entertainment $194
Travel Insurance (SafetyWing) $80
Gym Membership –

Our cost of living for one month in Playa del Carmen for 2 people is: $1,949 USD

Cost of Living In Mexico – San Cristobal de las Casas

San Cristobal de las Casas is such a hidden gem (although it’s starting to gain popularity) and we loved our time there.

where to stay in san cristobal de las casas

 

We spent 3 months living in San Cristobal de las Casas and it was actually the lowest of all 3 cities. Other than the cold weather, San Cris offers a great lifestyle with a very very affordable cost of living.

Here is our cost of living in San Cristobal de las Casas as digital nomads:

CATEGORY COST (USD)
Accommodation $644
Utilities –
Coworking $166
Groceries $288
Dining Out $278
Coffee $143
Drinking Water $19
Transport $43
Phone Plan $22
Activities & Entertainment $142
Travel Insurance (SafetyWing) $80
Gym Membership –

Our total monthly cost of living in San Cristobal de las Casas for 2 people is: $1,825 USD

Cost of Living In Mexico – Merida

Merida is one of the safest cities in all of North America. Yup!

Casas Gemelas Cámara merida mexico
breakfast with friends petit dulce merida

When you’re living in Merida, you will be enchanted with the beautiful architecture, the mix of Mayan and Spanish culture and you can have peace of mind that you’re safe!

Here is what a monthly stay in Merida cost us:

CATEGORY COST (USD)
Accommodation $728
Utilities –
Coworking $340
Groceries $278
Dining Out $464
Coffee $144
Drinking Water $21
Transport $268
Phone Plan $28
Activities & Entertainment $241
Travel Insurance (SafetyWing) $80
Gym Membership –

Our total monthly cost of living in Merida Mexico for 2 people is: $2,588 USD

The cost of living in Merida Mexico was pretty expensive for us but we think that’s our fault. You can definitely do it cheaper than us and still have a great time in Merida.

Cost of Living In Mexico: Most Expensive & Cheapest Cities

Choosing the best places to live in Mexico can be difficult because they are all so amazing! But there is one way to narrow down the list and that’s by the cost of living.

mexican flag playa del carmen mexico

According to Wise, here are the lists of the most expensive and cheapest Mexican cities to live for any digital nomad, remote workers, retiree or expat.

Here are the 3 most expensive Mexican cities to live in:

  • Los Cabos
  • Monterrey
  • Cancun

Here are the 3 cheapest Mexican cities to live in:

  • Tlaxcala
  • Zacatecas
  • Tepic

Want somewhere in the middle? While the costs of these places are starting to rise, it’s still a great quality of life in any of these 3 Mexican cities:

  • Mexico City
  • Playa del Carmen
  • Puerto Vallarta

The best thing about living in Mexico is that you have options. If a city gets too expensive for you, there are cheaper cities around and if you want to bougie it up for a while – you can definitely do that too!

Did The Cost Of Living In Mexico Surprise You?

The average cost of living in Mexico for 2 people with a comfortable lifestyle is $1,848 USD. The average cost of living in Mexico for 1 person is usually around less than $1,000 USD.

YES – you can definitely do it cheaper (you always can). We believe this is a great budget for a couple living in Mexico comfortably. You won’t need to sleep in a hostel dorm and only eat street tacos (although they are amazing). This budget allows you to actually enjoy your life in Mexico – wherever you choose to plant yourself.

Digital nomad life isn’t for everyone.

There are days you’ll feel excited to live in a new country every couple of months, ready to learn about other cultures & always inspired by fellow digital nomads you meet on the road. 

But there are days where you’ll feel lonely, stuck, miserable and exhausted from moving and/or always making new friends. 

This digital nomad lifestyle is no way perfect, as it may look. But…

We wouldn’t have it any other way 🤍

Zagreb isn’t your likely destination when visiti Zagreb isn’t your likely destination when visiting Croatia 🇭🇷

In fact, lots of people never make it up this way. But digital nomads do!

Here’s the reasons we chose Zagreb as our digital nomad hub for the month of July:

💸 AFFORDABLE COST OF LIVING
Zagreb is less crowded during the summer time which means you get more deals on things like accommodation - its much cheaper than Split or Dubrovnik! Here’s some numbers (in USD) to give you a better picture:

🚊 Public transport = $0.80
☕️ Coffee + drinks = $2 - $4
🍽 Eating Out = $9 - $12
🛶 Activities = $5 - $50

👯‍♀️ GROWING DIGITAL NOMAD COMMUNITY
We’re surprised by how strong the community is in Zagreb! We made friends during our first coworking event & found an awesome group of digital nomads to hang out with ever since.

👩🏻‍💻 DECENT CAFE & COWORKING SCENE
We cowork at cafes with our friends at least 2-3 times a week. Coworking is kind of expensive here and imo not worth it because it’s too ‘corporate’ for our liking.

Plitvice Lakes is 2.5 hours away & popular coast towns like Pula, Zadar or Rovinj are only 3-4 hours drive away. You get the structure that comes from having a base but you get to travel/explore on the weekends - kinda perfect!

☺️ COMFORTABLE LIFESTYLE
Public transport is a breeze in Zagreb - you can take a bus, tram or walk into the city fairly quick. It's super safe here!

We’ve lived in Zagreb as digital nomads for a couple weeks now and tbh - we didn’t love it at first. But after some time, we can now say we are seriously enjoying our lifestyle here. The community is amazing and we’re so glad we chose Zagreb! It’s just so peaceful and comfortable (which you don’t expect from a capital city)!

Would you consider being a digital nomad in Zagreb?

Novi Sad, this charming town is the best day trip Novi Sad, this charming town is the best day trip from Belgrade🇷🇸

Looking to escape the city life? It’s easy enough to catch the train, Novi Sad is a small town perfect for chilling, wandering around and drinking coffee at the cute cafes.

HOW TO GET THERE 🚊
Take the Coco high-speed trains that get you to Novi Sad in only 36 mins. Buy tickets via the app - Srbija voz and it’s only going to cost $3.40 USD for a one-way first class ticket.

COFFEE ☕️
Sit at a cafe and enjoy a cup of coffee - Zenit Books & Loft Downtown.

FOOD 🥘
Pls try Burek - the best place in Novi Sad is 100% Burek. Kombinat is a popular place to have lunch. But we recommend grabbing food from Maxi and having a picnic at Danube Park!

SEE, DO 🏰
Visit the Petrovaradin Fortress at sunset, chill on the ‘beach’ - The Strand, walk around Danube Park & stare at the beautiful Name of Mary Catholic Church.

You can spend a day in Novi Sad or it’s also great for a weekend getaway. Whichever you choose, just don’t miss Novi Sad on your digital nomad travels through Serbia 🇷🇸
