Hi Mexico-loving friends! May 31, 2022

Hi Mexico-loving friends! A category 2 hurricane, Hurricane Agatha, has hit landfall on the 30th near San Angel, Oaxaca. It feels quite early for this compared to years past, so it's definitely something to keep in mind as you start thinking about summer plans around Mexico. You can read more about this hurricane and keep up with where else it's going in this article. Mexico News Daily seems to be going back and forth about whether they are inserting a paywall or not. For the time being, you can check out a few articles per month without logging in. However, as of right now you can register for free and still read the articles without payment.

Traffic Light Changes

For those that are new around here, last year Mexico's federal government created a traffic light system to help businesses and people understand the risks of Covid-19 in each state around Mexico. It was then up to the state governments to decide how to interpret these traffic light colors. The government has now changed the website to reflect case numbers and recoveries. There are no longer traffic light colors differentiating each state based on cases.  This week the government announced there are now over 30 municipalities around the country that have zero covid cases. You can read more about that here. As always, I will keep you up to date with any future changes. You can view the full map of the case numbers by state on the government website here.

Mexico Content Around the Web

Moving to Mexico Workshop If you are planning on moving to Mexico in the near future, you may want to check out this free virtual moving to Mexico workshop taking place this weekend, June 4th with español con Zaloa. Zaloa is a language program that helps people acclimate not only to the language of Mexico, but to the culture, too. The workshop will cover how to rent in Mexico, health insurance, and why learning Spanish with a Mexican speaker is more beneficial than learning generic Spanish before you arrive. You can register for free here.

Expats & Locals Around Mexico

As always with Mexico, I highly recommend seeking out people who are currently living in the places that you want to visit. With Covid rules changing constantly and safety issues cropping up every now and again, only people who are on the ground there living it every day can share with you what's really happening. For updates about Mexico City, as always I recommend following Ubish Yaren on Instagram. You can also follow Anais of The Curious Mexican for updates on the restaurant and food scene in Mexico City and what is back open. For updates about what's going on in Oaxaca, Susan of Brooklyn Tropicali has been sharing her updates of what's going on around the city and state of Oaxaca. Trisha of PS I'm On My Way currently lives in Cabo San Lucas and can share some insights into what is happening there with you. Check out her website here. For regular updates about life in Merida and around the Yucatan, check out Mexico Cassie who has also recently written a fantastic guide about Traveling Yucatan with Kids. Shelley of Travel Mexico Solo also shares her experiences in Merida and around the Yucatan. Her Instagram is a particularly good resource for what she's seeing at the moment. The Yucatan Times is the local English newspaper in Merida that shares local updates and news reports. To keep up with what's going on in and around Querétaro, follow Alex of the Backpacking Brunette. Vallarta Daily is the local English news there where you can learn about any changes in the situation in Puerto Vallarta and the surrounding Nayarit beach towns as well. Janine Around the World is traveling around the Riviera Maya at the moment sharing her experiences on her blog and Instagram. Riviera Maya News is the local English newspaper there where you can keep up with changes. I believe this is the region that is changing the most in regards to safety at the minute and if you plan to independently travel here (renting a car and exploring without tours or away from resorts), then I highly recommend speaking to someone who is there right now. As always, a great place to keep up to date with news about what's happening all over Mexico in English is Mexico News Daily.
