I Migrated To Oaxaca, Mexico, From the Bay Area! 🇲🇽 What We Ate On Our First Day & Self-Reflections

Published 2024-06-09
Sharing all the things we ate and all the places we wandered to on my first official day in Oaxaca, Mexico after migrating from Oakalnd, Calfornia!

Background: I'm a first-generation Filipina-American, daughter of immigrants, who just left the Bay Area to migrate to Oaxaca, the homeland of my partner. After visiting for years, we finally decided to go and call Oaxaca home. I'm sharing my process of learning the life, culture, and language here, and my vision to reimagine everything -- dreams, success, pace of life, and joy.

    Hola! We have been traveling central Mexico since late in 2022 in our old RV and currently parked in Santa Maria del Tule for a while. We roll slow so months in each spot. Love it and that mercado in Oaxaca (Merced) is a favorite of mine!
