Cozumel, Mexico, is one of those places that truly lives at “island speed.” What I loved most about living in Cozumel as a digital nomad was the slow pace of life, the gorgeous scenery, and the fantastic culture.

About Living in Cozumel
Cozumel is a stunning island nestled in the Caribbean Sea, just off the eastern coast of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, right outside Playa del Carmen and Cancun.

The island’s welcoming locals and friendly expat community also make it easy to meet new friends and network.
