These 6 cities get more digital nomads and remote workers than anywhere else in Latin America...
→ Mexico City 🇲🇽 (functionality + food)
→ Buenos Aires 🇦🇷 (culture + affordability)
→ Medellin 🇨🇴 (weather + infrastructure)
→ Panama City 🇵🇦 (tax optimization + ease)
→ Santiago 🇨🇱 (first-world vibes + stability)
→ Asuncion 🇵🇾 (0% taxes + dirt cheap prices)
Did I miss any other hotspots? What cities would you add to this list?

@Gringopaisa19 @BuySellBA @Scotian82 I mean he's good with his social insights I'll just give him that
I found that a lot of foreigners have extremely little social and racial awareness in latam, which actually makes a difference here
I haven't seen him say he is a tourism expert but he should have sticked to that
English
Agreed.
But this rookie mistake says a lot. It almost discredits everything he claims about being a “LATAM expert.”
Either he doesn’t actually know LATAM like he thinks he does, or he made a careless, high-risk decision that cost his followers big money.
I don’t think he’s dumb—but he clearly doesn’t have the on-the-ground experience he portrays. Because anyone who actually operates in LATAM knows: you don’t skip due diligence. Ever.
Having “passport” in your name doesn’t make you an expert.
At this point, the content feels more like it’s for clicks than real expertise.
English
@Gringopaisa19 @BuySellBA @Scotian82 I mean I'm not saying I'll pay him.. or any body who pretends to be a latam expert for that matters.
English
He claims to be a LATAM expert but skipped step one—and his followers paid the price.
Took $60K for a group trip and let a guy he only knew from TikTok run it… which turned into a scam.
In LATAM, due diligence isn’t optional. You vet people, meet them in person, verify their track record—especially when you’re handling other people’s money.
I’ve been running LATAM group trips for years—there are no shortcuts when it comes to trust and execution.
Major rookie mistake. Cost his followers big $$$.

@PlineTheBinary @pushed_pixels @buperac That had nothing to with why I commented at all.. perhaps re read the comment
English
@BuySellBA @Gringopaisa19 @Scotian82 He has actually a very good knowledge of Latin America geography and culture nuances.
I wouldn't pay him but he's interesting to listen
More than 90% of north american broke clowns who tries to sell their visa services and whatnot
Especially a guy using "top G" lmao

@Gringopaisa19 @Scotian82 Who the hell would listen or take advice from a guy like this? 🤣

@Cdhd123 @pushed_pixels @buperac You are gonna bust my balls because a stupid north americans who never set foot in Argentina just want to shit on Indians and I nuanced his pov ?
Go pick your battles better
English
@PlineTheBinary @pushed_pixels @buperac Why do you do that? Was the last comment nesasary? Does insulting others intelligence make you feel smarter or something?
I’m serious 🧐 why?
English
@pushed_pixels @buperac @Cdhd123 and it's not just about "brown slaves"
A lot of businesses are family businesss.
An Indian who has a minimarket will perform better because ha has his children and wife working for him for free
Modern white people aren't familiar enough to compete on those terms
English
@PlineTheBinary @buperac @Cdhd123 If the Canadian companies offered decent wages everyone would want those jobs. Look at Costco. This is how it was when young people got entry level jobs 25 yrs ago. Young people don't bother with those jobs now cuz brown slaves have them, keeping wages low and COL high for all.
Montréal, Québec 🇨🇦 English
@pushed_pixels @buperac @Cdhd123 Sure but if they offered decent wages the Americans would be interested in them and there wouldn't be the need for Argentines anyway
English
@pushed_pixels @buperac @Cdhd123 argentines don't want to work the same job as indians, they'll just be competition for Americans
You aren't the sharpest knife
English
@buperac @Cdhd123 Why are we importing Indians & Muslims & not Argentinians?! The genetic upgrade alone that we'd experience as a nation would make Canada the most desirable place on earth. Instead we're gonna have a generation of ugly fuckwads who marry their ugly cousins making ugly retards.

@Yussoonn_ one of the few majority buddhist country in the world as well

And yet Thailand has achieved the exceptional and the unthinkable.
It has an aging population and an extremely low total fertility rate, with a still intermediate level of wealth, without being a technological power.
The country is aging before it has fully caught up with developed nations.
A unique case in the world.
KHAMCHANH@KHAMCHANH
I think a reason for low birth rates in Asian countries is the rapid and intense urbanization + high level of internet connectivity. Many people blame cost of living, but let’s be honest, very few Asians don’t want to have children before the age of 30 regardless of costs.

@Astervox42 @Yussoonn_ lmao thailand is running on vibes, buddhism and sex industry

@Yussoonn_ what's the current tech stack in thailand? I'm not familiar with it, I understand SK is approaching japan level in the electronics supply chain and in the last 5 years is not entering specialist chemicals that used to be japanese monopolies

all these “entrepreneurs” sit 8 hours a day
Thats not normal at all
English
making money is the easiest thing on the planet BY DEFINITION
and i'm not tryna be edgy it literally is
every single person on earth makes money
even HOMELESS PEOPLE HAVE MONEY
it's the most universal human activity besides breathing
the only hard part is making money WITHOUT selling your soul for it
without working 12 hours a day
or without hating your life
that's why every entrepreneur just complains and flexes sleeping 5 hours a night like it's cool
it took me a few months to figure out
but once you find a model with leverage - where you grind for a few months and then your content and systems work for you
it becomes the easiest thing you do
way easier than a job and you make 10x more
i'm motionmaxxing in thailand making money from my laptop
how is this hard bro
you only make it hard cuz your business sucks

Mexico City - A Beautiful “LIFE” to Compare with Any City
After a week in Mexico City: it was NOT the museums, or the ancient history, or the lovely architecture that impressed me the most……it was the simple quality of Life that kept surprising me. Whether I was in this or that neighborhood, touristy or local, city center or on the outskirts of town…….I saw a “quality of Life”. I would simply pause walking down the street, and take it in……almost a sense of calm in the busy of it all. Beauty in the everyday normal of living. A city that feels dignified in its history, its present, and most importantly…..its future. It’s in the details of the everyday, in the high mountain air, in the tacos on the corner. Whether the citizens of CDMX know it or not, I believe Mexico City is one of the finest cities in the world. I can see why so many of my friends and peers love it. I hope to see it stay that way.
English
@heribertfdz @DamonZumbroegel and when you go in millions to europe and US what is your impact ?
Mexico doesn't have 50% of tourism of Paris, stop joking here.
English
@DamonZumbroegel Okay, but just know that your presence---and that of tens of thousands of expats from rich countries---indeed has a negative impact, especially when you put all this on blast, unwittingly inviting hordes of other affluent foreigners to go colonize the place.

@Calimotxero @CepnikMaciej hay mucha gente que quieren en pais donde hay sol y es barato, no tiene nada que ver con la calidad de vida de los locales.
Debes ser bajo de CI para pensar que ser un lugar de turismo es un meta para un pais

@CepnikMaciej No conozco a nadie que quiera ir a Polonia ni de vacaciones, los países con más calidad de vida de la galaxia, Polonia no lo es, aplican principios socialistas.

Poland just entered the G20, and surpassed Switzerland in terms of economic output.
This is a reminder that communism is a disease and should be eradicated.
I’ve witnessed from my own eyes the incredible growth of Poland when I was going on vacation every year to Poland as a kid.
If Poles started to make babies again, Poland would be in the top 15 in no time.

We (🇵🇱) just passed Switzerland to become the worlds 20th largest economy. 35 years ago GDP per capita was $6730 Today its $55340. I wasn't around when we went capitalist in the early 90s, but you could definitely still feel the grip of communism in the early 2000s. Central Warsaw was in many parts old abandoned ruins. You had to take your radio out of your car every time you parked or it would be gone among anything else you left inside your car. The same city I walked with my mom as an 8 year old is completely unrecognizable now. 38% annual growth since joining the EU in 2004 EU average was 18%. Watching your country transform in a generation is feels incredibly special. Long live capitalism,free markets and honestly long live the EU! If not for the EU we would've been significantly worse off.

@StephenStorey @bold_perception maybe in shitholes. In no decent part of latam capitals do they give you a beer for 10 USD

Extremely underrated part of Latin America
Is being able to get a haircut whenever you want, for very cheap, while being able to have some drinks / rip a cheeky heater while being cut.
See dudes saying $100 is the new price in USA for anything solid.
In Europe you gotta set an appointment weeks in advance.
