¿Gringos Gentrificando México? - Gringos Gentrifying Mexico?

Travel and migration can be a double-edged sword. On one hand, you can enrich yourself with unique experiences, pursue happiness abroad, and help the local economy by spending your limited resources in a new-to-you part of the world. On the other hand, too much tourism or immigration to a specific area can raise prices, pressuring the locals to move out, and dilute cultural elements that made the a place desirable to visit in the first place. This is a conversation that’s happening a lot right now in Mexico, and it’s something us travelers should be conscious of if we seek to minimize the potential harm we may cause to local economies. In this episode, we discuss gentrification in Mexico and what we can do to help protect the places we visit and migrate to.Links:057 - Una Vida Mejor por Menos | A Better Life for LessMexico City becomes 'work from home' haven for US expats, but locals are getting priced outAre Gringos Ruining Mexico City?Level up your Spanish with our Podcast MembershipGet the full transcript of each episode so you don’t miss a wordListen to an extended breakdown section in English going over the most important words and phrasesTest your comprehension with a multiple choice quiz✈️ Join La Escala, our online Spanish and Go community for Spanish learners who want more practice, structure, and connection.
