We moved to Mérida for sunshine and slower living — but nobody told us we'd be living inside a construction site. From nonstop jackhammers and giant drills to goat, rooster, and stray-dog soundtracks (and a town party that shook the house until 5 AM), this episode is our loudest one yet.

We share what it’s actually like sleeping, working, and dating when the soundtrack of your life is cement mixers and roosters. We talk coping hacks, whether you can really “tune out” the noise, and how to decide if the tradeoffs of expat life are worth it.

Topics: noise in Mexico • construction noise in Mérida • expat life • living abroad • roosters, dogs & town parties • coping with loud neighbors
