Mexicanist Newsletter: Dating Disasters & Volcanic Rumbles
Mexicanist: Cancun shopping, budget resorts, retirement havens, dogs sniff contraband, scientists brew batteries from trash. Dating scene chaos, evolving cuisine. Trump's tariffs threaten, job insecurity looms, yet Mexican wine conquers. Sea turtles are at risk and a town square is haunted.
The Mexicanist Newsletter is back, and it's more packed than a Tijuana taxi on payday. This month, we're dodging tourist traps in Cancun (because who needs another sombrero?), finding cheap-as-chips resorts where the only thing watered down is the tequila (maybe), and pondering why retiring in Mexico might just save your sanity and your pension pot.
We've got rumblings from grumpy volcanoes, dogs sniffing out dodgy fruit, and scientists brewing batteries from ketchup packets (yes, really!). Plus, we delve into the surprisingly complex world of Mexican wine, the utter chaos of the dating scene (good luck with that), and why Trump's tariff tantrums could leave us all paying more for, well, everything. So, grab a cerveza, settle in, and prepare for a wild ride through the good, the bad, and the bonkers side of Mexico.
