Relocation Concierge

Black expat community in Mérida

Two rooms, because you need two different things.

If you live here, you need people and recommendations, and you need them on your phone. If you are still planning, you need answers, a process, and somewhere to keep track. We stopped trying to do both in one place.

I live in Mérida

Apply once and you are in. The WhatsApp Community has five channels so the useful things do not drown: Announcements, General, Recommendations, Events, and Newcomers. Plus Social Table, The Kitchen, and everything else we run.

I'm still planning my move

The Relocation Hub is our Circle app. It is where the residency tracker lives, where every recorded masterclass is stored, and where members post what they actually paid for residency, rent and furniture.

Announcements is admin only. That single decision is what stops a 200 person group from burying the one message that mattered.

The Trusted Vendor List

The people we actually use.

Every name on this list has been used by someone in this community and vouched for by name. It is the thing newcomers ask for most and the thing no website can give you, because it is not research, it is years of living here.

Medical

Doctors, dentists, specialists, a hospital, insurance.

Home

Plumbers, electricians, contractors, cleaners, pool, gardener.

Daily life

Mechanics, tailors, salons and barbers, a notary.

Family

Schools, tutors, pediatricians, childcare.

The list

$19, one time.

A PDF, updated quarterly. Every purchase goes to the community center fund.

We could use your hands.

Almost everything we run is put together by people who live here and decided to help. Tell us what you are up for and roughly how often, and we will only contact you about the things you picked.
