Why we built Mundalo
The story behind Mundalo
Built by people who
made the move.
Mundalo was born from real experience - and backed by everything we learned the hard way.

Francisco Rizo
Almost two years ago I moved back to Mexico. I did it the hard way - scavenger-hunting resources, figuring things out after I needed them, discovering problems I didn't know were coming.
What made it harder: I wasn't moving alone. I moved with Jenna - my American partner who had never lived outside the US - our two year old son, and her mom, who packed up her entire life in America and said yes before Jenna finished asking.
I had 15 years of cross-border real estate experience and deep personal roots in Mexico. And it was still overwhelming. That told me everything.
If it was that hard for us - it was impossible for everyone else doing it without that foundation.
That's why we built Mundalo. The platform we wish had existed. Your personalized Blueprint, your community of people already living it, and everything you need to stop researching and start packing.
Mexico is one of the greatest opportunities available to Americans right now. You shouldn't have to figure it out alone.
Co-Founder
Rodrigo Manzanilla
Mundalo was born from a deeply personal question: why is moving abroad still so hard? Rodrigo built this platform because he lived the complexity firsthand - and knew it didn't have to be that way.
With 15+ years as an executive in consulting and SaaS, Rodrigo has helped organizations scale across Latin America and the US. Having spent his career as the bridge between two countries and two cultures, he knows what it takes to build something that actually works across borders.
Originally from Mexico City, educated at Tec de Monterrey and the University of Texas, and now based in Dallas with his wife Andrea and their two daughters - Rodrigo brings both the professional toolkit and the lived immigrant perspective to Mundalo.
His mission: give every person who dreams of living abroad the clarity, tools, and community to actually make it happen.
