Your favorite sister duo gets the best recommendations from a Mexico City Local! Our guest was born and raised in Mexico City and moved to the United States when he was 12 years old. We spend the first part of the episode hearing about his experience moving to the United States, learning English, and adapting to the cultural differences here. We address the misconceptions many Americans have about traveling to Mexico, and why Mexico City is a beautiful city that is worth visiting. We talk authentic Mexican food, must-try restaurants in Mexico City, things to do, where to stay, and more.
