We’re Erica & Jeff — an interracial couple who sold everything, packed six suitcases, and moved from Philadelphia to Mérida, Mexico. Between planning a wedding, buying a house sight unseen, and surviving culture shock, we’re learning what it really takes to start over abroad. Expect sarcasm, real talk, and plenty of “WTF are we doing?” moments about expat life, marriage, and remote work. New episodes weekly!

We Moved to Mexico and Had No Water for Weeks | This Might Be a Bad Idea Podcast

What’s the worst “welcome to Mexico” you can imagine? For us—it was moving into our brand-new house and realizing… there was no water. 🚱

This week on This Might Be a Bad Idea, Erica & Jeff relive their first taste of Mérida homeowner chaos: dry faucets, construction mistakes, a cowboy-booted plumber named Jorge who saved the day, and weeks of cold showers that tested both patience and marriage.

💬 Topics: expat life in Mérida • moving abroad • new construction in Mexico • culture shock • homeownership fails🎧 New episodes every week — because apparently, we never learn.
