San Miguel vs. San Cristobal! (Life in Mexico)

We visited two bucket-list-worthy cities in Mexico, San Miguel de Allende, and San Cristóbal de Las Casas, and here's the honest truth... we'd love to live in both!
They're both incredible cities with a lot to offer, very similar in many ways but quite different in a few other categories.
So many places, so little time. You can't live everywhere in Mexico so we started discussing which city we'd prefer, much like we did with Oaxaca and Merida in a previous video and decided to go live with the conversation and turn it into a video so you all could join the conversation. :)
We compared both cities in some important categories like the cost of living, attractions, location, safety, healthcare, and more!
We'd love to hear your thoughts about these two cities or which other cities in Mexico you prefer over these two. We love to get suggestions on where to visit and for more comparison videos too.

Thanks for watching and if you enjoy the video, it would help a lot if you'd subscribe to the channel, like it, and also feel free to leave a comment. We love to read them. Cheers guys!
