After living in Mexico for 2 years, the expat life has completely transformed my perspective. The slower pace, vibrant culture, and lower cost of living have become my new normal. Now, the thought of returning to America fills me with dread.
In this video, I'll share the stark contrasts I've experienced between living in Mexico and visiting the US. From the frenetic energy and consumerism to the sky-high prices and social pressures, I'll explain why I find it increasingly difficult to readjust to American life.
I'll dive deeper into specific aspects like:
- **Culture Shock**: The overwhelming feeling of sensory overload and social anxiety that hits me upon arrival in the US.
- **Financial Strain**: The sticker shock of everyday expenses and the constant pressure to keep up with the Joneses.
- **Social Disconnect**: The difficulty of reconnecting with friends and family who seem caught up in the rat race.
- **Reverse Homesickness**: The longing for the simplicity and warmth of my Mexican community.
This video isn't meant to bash the US, but rather to offer an honest reflection on how my values and priorities have shifted since embracing the expat life in Mexico. If you're curious about the challenges of repatriation or considering a move abroad, this video will provide valuable insights into the emotional and psychological adjustments that come with it.
