Introduction: Our Experience in Progreso

In mid-2020, my husband Jeremy and I started our adventure traveling the world full-time.

Our first trip as digital nomads brought us to Progreso, Mexico, which neither of us had heard of. We lived in Progreso for three months in both 2020 and 2022. All we can say is WOW, what a huge change.

By the end of this article, we are confident you’ll see what we, and so many others, love about Progreso, Mexico and why you should visit. We also have many Progreso YouTube videos linked at the bottom of this article if you’d like to see our adventures.
