About this episode

Adalia Aborisade is not your typical expat. She left the US in 2016 and moved with her daughter and dog to Honduras. She has since settled in Mexico City, opting to retire to city life instead of white sand beaches. 

In our conversation, Adalia shares her experiences living abroad while Black, including:

✔️ what happened when she had to interact with the police in Mexico City

✔️ how to have a realistic expectation for job opportunities, and 

✔️ the real cost of a comfortable life for expats in Mexico
