Monterrey - Post Report Question and Answers
Knowing what you know now, would you still move to this city?
Yes. Now that I understand how strategically important this city is: economically, politically, and in terms of regional influence, I’m glad I came. The work being done here matters, and living in Monterrey offers a unique perspective on a part of Mexico that often flies under the radar.
