The second half of the week, we got to hear from the British Chamber of Commerce! We were meant to go visit them, but a certain US President and Canadian Prime Minister were in town for the USMCA talks, and lucky for us, the British Chamber of Commerce is smack bang right next door, and…Continue Reading Week 1 – Part 2
I’m writing this blog as our first week in Mexico draws to a close. To say that it’s been unreal so far would be an understatement. We packed so much into this week (and yet there’s still many more places I want to explore when I come back in the future 😉), so I’m just…Continue Reading ¡Vamos!
