Skip Playa del Carmen: This Hidden Safe City in Mexico Is Better for Remote Workers

How do you actually connect with a place instead of just passing through it?

Host Ryan Mellon just landed in a Mexican city most Americans have never heard of, and he's about to show you why sometimes the best places to live and work remotely are hiding in plain sight.

Ryan shares what happened the moment he stepped off that plane and why this under-the-radar destination might be exactly what you're looking for if you're tired of the typical tourist traps.

As someone who's spent eight years chasing endless summer, Ryan knows what makes a city work for remote workers. He breaks down why this place checks all the boxes. It's also been named one of the safest cities in all of North America. If you're worried about safety while working abroad (especially as a first-timer), this one's for you.

He's starting a Spanish immersion course and explains why learning the local language changes everything about the digital nomad experience.

Stick around until the end where Ryan reveals his game plan for the next six months and shares why this hidden gem might be the testing ground for your own digital nomad journey.

Listen and learn how to find secret cities that give you the lifestyle you want without the crowds you don't.
