"Life for expats and digital nomads in Oaxaca City is vibrant and culturally rich. The city is known for its colonial architecture, lively markets, and world-renowned cuisine, offering a unique blend of indigenous and Spanish influences. The cost of living is relatively low, making it an attractive destination for those looking to live comfortably on a budget. The city is also home to a growing community of expats and digital nomads, making it easy to find like-minded individuals and build a social network. There are numerous co-working spaces and cafes with reliable internet, catering to the needs of remote workers. Despite being a smaller city, Oaxaca has a lot to offer in terms of entertainment and leisure activities. There are numerous art galleries, museums, and cultural festivals to enjoy. The surrounding area is also rich in natural beauty, with opportunities for hiking, bird watching, and exploring ancient ruins. While Spanish is the main language spoken, many locals and businesses also speak English, making it easier for expats to navigate daily life. However, learning some basic Spanish can greatly enhance the experience and allow for deeper connections with the local community. Safety can be a concern in certain parts of Mexico, but Oaxaca City is generally considered safe, especially in the areas where expats tend to live. As with any location, it's important to stay informed about local conditions and take common-sense precautions. Overall, life for expats and digital nomads in Oaxaca City offers a unique blend of cultural immersion, affordable living, and a supportive community," explained one expat living in Oaxaca City, Mexico.
