This week's episode is all about cultural adaptation. Amy Jones is the Merida Ambassador. We discuss Amy's life in Merida, Mexico, getting used to different cultural customs, and how learning a language sometimes leads to a big misstep when trying to say the word "bread!"

Mexico and Portugal are among the most popular countries amidst the Expatsi community. They are also the chosen destinations of the American Abroad co-hosts: Jen is in Mexico, and Stephanie is in Portugal. In this episode, Jen and Stephanie (playfully) debate the benefits of both and which is better, and they both share their process on how they each ended up where they did. Topics include proximity to the US, walkable vs. drivable cities, weather, food, and much more!
