Finally, he spoke about INOVIO, an American pharmacist working on a vaccine against Covid-19 that could be added to the list of drugs used to combat this infection. "One of the things we did was bring phase three of various vaccines, the clinical trial is already in an advanced stage, the most recent one in Mexico is from a company called INOVIO," he added. The chancellor indicated that the vaccine of this pharmaceutical company is designed based on DNA, a technology "different and much closer" to what will be seen in medicine very soon, that genomic medicine is going to be accelerated, he concluded.

Mexico and the Philippines are the most populous countries that have ever been ruled by Spain. However, migration from these countries to Spain is very insignificant. Mexico even has less migration to Spain than the Dominican Republic. The Philippines is almost nonexistent.

I'm a US passport holder and have been back in Los Angeles for a few months and trying to lock down the next destination for the next 3-6 months. I enjoyed Oaxaca a lot and have spent a lot of time in Northern Spain. Never been to Colombia and was also considering Guadalajara.
One concern I have is covid shutdowns. I'm fully vaccinated and just got over a covid infection. I'm selfishly chasing freedom you could say. Oaxaca was pleasant during the pandemic but I'm a little weary Spain.
so I listen and speak with her. I don't find the different accents to be such a big deal. Although sometimes I have a hard time picking up on words my mom says (she doesn't really pronounce the letter S), as soon as I hear it more than once, it is fine.
This is my second time in my life, seriously committing to learning spanish, and the first time I tried to learn, i got so overwhelmed with trying to find input that was puerto rican, and it ended up setting me back. This time i just decided to ignore it, and it seems to be working this far. For all of the the discussion about different accents I read about, in practice it doesn't seem to be as big of a deal as I would have thought it would have been.
TL;DR - Interested in being a DN in a Spanish speaking country for 1-3 months during Portland's dreary season. Looking for advice as a first time DN.
I currently live in Portland, OR and wet season (basically now through March/April) drives me insane with my SAD. With this winter ushering in a la niña weather system that will bring more cold and wetness to the PNW, I need to GTFO.
My situation:
I'm a 30 year-old single gay dude that's pretty extraverted and experienced with solo travel. FWIW, I'm mixed Filipino and always end up blending in well in Latin America.
I've been working fully remote for 4 years and my job + freelance client won't have a problem with me being a digital nomad.
I love being in Portland from spring - early fall and I have a lot of ties here, so I'm not ready to drop my apartment yet. With Portland rent being a bit high, I'm looking to spend 1-3 months in a Spanish speaking region without breaking the bank.
Not rich, but I make decent money and could probably afford a short-term rental of up to $1K/month.
Intermediate Spanish speaking level. I can read in Spanish much better than speaking it. I really want to continue improving my Spanish, which is why I'm focused on countries that speak the language.
Where I'm thinking of going
I studied abroad in Costa Rica and visited again for a couple weeks before the pandemic began. Love it there and have some friends in Guanacaste, but it's not super budget friendly.
While I love CR, I'm also thinking about Mexico and Spain. If you are currently or formerly nomading in these countries or other Spanish speaking regions, I'd love to learn about your experience and advice!
I'd also like to avoid COVID hot zones and places that are shutdown if possible.
I'm open to other suggestions too. Thanks fellow travelers!
