I really enjoyed my trip to DC for one week. I did NOT feel comfortable walking around many places alone because there are a lot of mentally ill/drugged out people. During daylight with other people I felt fine. There are soo many restaurants, interesting boutique gyms, cool libraries and more. The variety you can find in DC is closer to NYC than you can find most places. The memorials are pretty cool. There are a lot of free museums which are impressive. I liked the Lincoln Memorial/Gettysburg

Do not go to Baltimore. Very unsafe, not much to do, bad roads, bad air, pollution everywhere (including water), and it’s not a nice place to be overall. Many murders and gangs. Do yourself a favor by never going here.

New York is cool. I’ve visited multiple times to see my family throughout my life, and recently came back from my first post-COVID trip there. Yes, it’s very expensive — but there is no city on earth that’s more captivating in my opinion. I used to think that New Yorkers were smug by claiming that NYC was better than everywhere else, but now I totally get it lol. My personal favourite neighbourhood is the Upper East Side, which is where you’ll find the coveted Museum Mile. But I also

However, it is expensive. Been living in Mexico for 3 years and was coming to CDMX frequently. I've seen a huge increase in prices for accommodations and minor but noticeable price increase for groceries/restaurants. Another con is relatively high taxes for those who earn more than 2k USD it will be 30%. Taxation in Mexico is progressive. So my personal sum up is - it doesn't worth it.

Back then it was a walkable and clean and fun, pretty safe city. The only place back then that you'd avoid was the Tenderloin. There was homeless but they actually weren't aggressive. There wasn't much robberies either. San Francisco in 2024 is very different, as you've probably seen from social media. The homeless problem has grown a lot since then, and they're not just clustered in the Tenderloin, they're all over

My experience here has been incredibly frustrating, especially when dealing with the average Ecuadorian citizens.
