Digital Nomad Life in Saltillo, Mexico

"Expats in Saltillo can join several clubs and activities in the city, such as English-language book clubs, salsa lessons, recreational sports, or yoga classes. Expatriates can also explore the city's many parks and cultural sites, visit a salon de te, or attend local events like the Bullfighting Festival of Santa Rosa. Other ways to meet people include joining a local church or attending expatriate events like dinners, language exchanges, and happy hours. Expats can also get involved in volunteer opportunities like teaching English to schoolchildren or working in a local animal shelter. Finally, networking is key; expatriates can reach out to their existing contacts or ask locals for suggestions on meeting new people," said one expat in Saltillo.

"Saltillo appears to be a much friendlier city than others I have lived in (Puebla, Cuernavaca, Toluca). However, it was not easy to get to know people until I got connected with the Saltillo International Church (www.saltillointerationalchurch.com). They have bilingual services on Sundays, and for those who may not be "church-y" (or, like me, prefer the neighborhood church) have book studies for adults, men, and women throughout the week. Also, if your Spanish is decent www.desaltillo.com is helpful to find out events that are going on in town. If you friend them on facebook, they'll send daily updates--so helpful for me, as we don't regularly buy the newspaper," remarked one member in Saltillo.
