We’re Nikal.

And we’re here to help you experience the real Mexico City.

And, also, to show you that it’s more than a cheap world-class city.

Mexico City is a dynamic, cosmopolitan hub, where many cultures converge.

Where people like me, Melanie, were born and where lots of people come with the desire, and dream, of a better life.

Dreams of a life full of movement, of things to do and see, of enjoyment.

We’re Melanie and Isaac, the core and heart of Nikal.

And such life is easily attainable in Mexico City.

But… is Mexico City the right choice for you?

The answer is not simple, because it will depend on your circumstances and nothing more.

Our goal is to help you make that decision so that you don’t have any regrets and can avoid committing expensive mistakes.

Nikal was born out of our deep-rooted love for Mexico, and of our desire to help others (you) find happiness

Not just fleeting happiness, but a transformative one.

Happiness that makes you proud of the person you’ve become.

Happiness knowing you’re where you belong.

Happiness without regrets about the decisions that brought you here.

Happiness in choosing Mexico as your new home.

And, above all, we want you to feel safe. That’s why…

These are the values that stick with us, no matter what:

HonestY / transparency

In a world where misinformation is heavily abused and fear is spread around scams, trickeries and fine prints, honesty and transparency are primal to create a safe environment.

vows

TRUTHFULNESS.

No information will be hidden from you at any point. No lies will be told. A painful truth is better than a beautiful lie.

INTEGRITY.

We shall not let down our morals, our principles or what we believe in.

ACCOUNTABILITY.

No mistake will be hidden under the rug. We will take full responsibility for our actions.

AUTHENTICITY.

We celebrate the uniqueness of each person we meet. We want to empower your true self and we will never judge you for showing it.

Peace / security

We know relocating to Mexico City is a life changing feat which might make you feel insecure and frightened. That’s why creating a peaceful and safe space is essential for us.

vows

EMPATHY.

Even if our opinions are conflicting, we’ll always seek to understand the position of those we seek to help.

TRUSTWORTHINESS.

Trust is not an easy thing to come by. We work hard to gain it and to maintain it.

COMMUNICATION.

We believe communication is the base for any healthy relationship. That’s why we won’t ever leave a question or query unanswered.

ADAPTABILITY.

In order to do an optimal job, flexibility is needed. There is no situation that cannot be solved, one way or another.

inclusion / solidarity

We believe that creating a community is key to make you feel at home. We don’t care what you look like or what your cultural background is. We’ll help you create a path towards the goal you are aiming for, with inclusion and solidarity in mind.

vows

RESPECT.

We embrace uniqueness and understand that everyone has different beliefs, culture, opinions and lifestyles. We firmly believe all of us deserve to be treated fairly.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.

We want to help whoever is in need; it doesn’t matter where they are from. Creating a community means taking an active part in its development.

UNITY.

We believe there’s strength in the diversity of beliefs, culture and backgrounds. Our differences make us stronger and they should not be a reason to find hate, but to seek integration.

ADVOCATE FOR JUSTICE.

We will stand up against unfairness, racism, classism and inequality.

We dream of a world without divisions.

We firmly believe that cultural boundaries can be broken and life in community can be reached.

We have found that racism and classism are just symptoms of fear of the unknown. That’s because we tend to be afraid of what we don’t understand.

But we are convinced that, with a bit of hard work, we can all embrace our differences and work together to make our world a better place to live in.

And Mexico City is our first step toward this ultimate goal.

We understand that trust isn’t obtained with some simple words.

It needs to be built and, then, taken care of.

That’s why it’s important that you know

Who’s behind nikal

Melanie

Alzati

Chilanga born and raised in Mexico City, the place that pushed me to get out of my shell and become the person I am today.

Me and Mexico City are not a match made from heaven: I’m an introvert and have no mayor vices than videogames and writing. And, still, I love this city to bits. I’ve been able to find my way and know that Mexico City can cater to all kinds of personalities.

I like listening more than talking, I don’t like spicy food and I’m not a big fan of endless hugs and kisses. And, with all that, I’m a proud mexican.

I was not made for an office job or to sell just for the sake of it. For me, it feels dishonest. Instead, I’m the happiest when I get the chance to help others reach their goals.

I have learned, the hard way, that life is not meant to be lived half-heartedly. And that no one will make your dream life come true other than yourself.

Isaac

de la Garza

Originally from the state of Nuevo Leon, where I grew up between the majestic mountains of Monterrey and a tiny, but beautiful town called Montemorelos.

As the second son of a humble family, I have learned that the fruits of effort are sweet, not to judge a book by its cover and that family is a fundamental pillar.

My academic background is in Administration and I also have knowledge in computer science, fields in which I usually develop myself.

Beyond my studies, I have a deep passion for reading, writing and culinary experimentation. I consider cooking to be an art and I greatly enjoy discovering new dishes.

I firmly believe that, despite our differences, we all share more than what separates us and that together we can improve and grow.
