I have several straight forward questions, I am 25 y/o Male and I am recently single, looking to get away and work somewhere far from home for a few months while I get my life in order (and save some money too).

1. Is merida "safe"?
2. What are good areas to get an Airbnb that is walking distance from activities (Like bars, live music, museums, cultural events, etc)
3. Any norms that I should familiarize myself with? (I am from Puerto Rico, but I am well aware that even within Latin America, different cultural norms exist and I try to respect them as best I can)
4. Is this city worthwhile for someone who is looking for what I want?
5. How is the dating scene over there?
6. How is the Expat community?
7. Is the wifi/internet there ideal for remote working?
8. Is $2500 per month enough to live comfortable? (it likely will be closer to $1400 the first month, I'll be there with about $3-4k in my war chest)
9. What else should I know?
10. Also, how do I convert my USD to the Mexican currency?? This will be my first time abroad, so excuse my implied ignorance.

Thanks in advance, I hope to see many responses, this is an urgent matter for me :)
