My Life in Mexico during the COVID-19 Pandemic [Podcast]

Podcast #173 – Marc Talks About the Last Few Months of Living in Mexico During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Description:

Marc takes you from the middle of February to the last week of April with how he is experiencing the COVID-19 Pandemic in Mexico.

Experiencing the pandemic as an expat in a foreign country can be an “interesting” experience. Every country and culture reacts to these kinds of disasters or events differently. Marc will paint a timeline starting in February and describe what he encounters.
