In this no-holds-barred episode of the My Latin Life Podcast, I sit down with Jake Nomada—one of the OGs of long-term Latin America living (12+ years in the region, evolving from wild bachelor adventures to raising three kids with a local partner). 

We get real about building and raising a family south of the border: stronger family values and tight-knit communities compared to the West, affordable elite private schools and quality healthcare, safety realities by country and neighborhood, raising bicultural kids, residency/tax strategies that keep it viable long-term, and why post-Covid we're seeing way more young families (not just retirees) make the leap.

(No sugarcoating here—Jake shares the upsides like toddler paradise vibes in some spots, plus the frustrations that test even the most patient parents.) If you're a digital nomad, entrepreneur, or expat eyeing family life in Latin America, this is essential listening.
