August 18, Vance here to give you a short and sweet introduction to one of my favorite Latin American cities. As the capital of Mexico and one of the biggest metropolitan areas in the world the urban population exceeds 20 million! This comes with both positives and negatives. Fortunately, there are many great destinations a short bus ride away if you want to escape the chaos. But, enough with the foreplay. Mexican women get a pretty bad rap, especially in the United States. And Mexico City is the perfect place to wet your beak.
However, before you book that plane ticket, there is one caveat: the quality of girls in Mexico City is highly dependent on what part of the city you are in. And if you stick to the center of the city as most tourists do , things are pretty average. Tinder seems to be the preferred resource for Internet dating here. If you want to meet Mexican women online, sign up for Mexican Cupid. For those of you thinking about a more long term stay, here is a short breakdown of my costs to give you an idea:.
Now is as good a time as any to address the elephant in the room: safety. Mexico City does not have a good reputation in this regard. Although western media wildly exaggerates the security situation here, you still need to exercise some caution. Fortunately, most crime is restricted to seedy barrios where the average traveller would have no reason to go.
My neighborhood, for example, has a strong police presence, and it is not uncommon to see women walking their dog alone at night β it is basically safe at all hours.
Unfortunately, pollution is an issue in Mexico City. Also, the traffic is terrible. Might as well forget about getting anywhere fast during morning or evening rush hour.
