While many migrants risk their lives chasing the American dream, Gabriel Zarate fled the rising cost of living in California and moved to the Mexican border city of Tijuana.
The 38-year-old Chilean American now crosses over to work in San Diego as an English teacher during the day and returns home in the evening to Mexico.
"One of the biggest reasons is the cost of living in Tijuana. It's significantly cheaper than in California," Zarate said.
Also, he added: "I love Mexican people and food."
"I heard there's some prejudice toward digital nomads within Mexico City but I haven't experienced it personally," said Blazej Mosinski, 23, from Poland, who is doing a San Francisco internship remotely "purely for financial reasons."
