Description

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.
