About this episode
Mexico City is the densely populated, high-altitude capital of Mexico. It's known for its Templo Mayor (a 13th-century Aztec temple), the baroque Catedral Metropolitana de México of the Spanish conquistadors and the Palacio Nacional, which houses historic murals by Diego Rivera. All of these are situated in and around the Plaza de la Constitución, the massive main square also known as the Zócalo.
Digital nomads are people who live in a nomadic way while working remotely using technology and the internet.
It was 1996! "The technology uses a regulated but unlicensed portion of the radio spectrum shared by cordless phones, wireless local area networks and video monitoring systems.

Ricochet was one of the first wireless Internet access services in the United States, before Wi-Fi, 3G, and other technologies were available to the general public. It was developed and first offered by Metricom Incorporated, which shut down in 2001.
As an international destination, Mexico City attracts expats and digital nomads from all over the world. Mexico City is a very friendly place, so you'll have no trouble meeting interesting people, especially others in one of the numerous co-working spaces.
Mexico is always a favorite destination for digital nomads for its amazing weather, beautiful vistas, and affordable living costs. The nation also has favorable policies which allow citizens from other countries to visit and work remotely from almost anywhere they like inside of the country.
