For Nat Cedillo, jet-setting from one hotspot city to another each week is no cheap thrill.
It’s a necessary evil of her pricey, punishing super-commute.
“I travel from Mexico City to New York City so that I can attend my law school classes,” Cedillo, 30, an aspiring intellectual property attorney, tells The Post. “It’s exhausting, but worth it.”
Nat, a graduating law student in NYC, and her husband Santiago moved to Mexico to lead slower, less costly lives.
The newlywed millennial and her husband, Santiago, formerly of Brooklyn, left the Big Apple late last year to take a bite out of Mexico for its tropical appeal and budget-friendly cost of living.
Since January, Cedillo has spent upward of $2,000 on airfare, lodging and food.
Throughout the 13-week semester, she’s taken the more than 4,000-mile round-trip — which begins with Monday morning flights into JFK Airport and ends back in Mexico City by Tuesday night — to complete her last term at a top NYC institution.
“I love New York, but [before we moved] my husband and I weren’t living in the most lavish neighborhood, and everything was so expensive,” said the soon-to-be lawyers, who’ll take the New York State Bar exam this summer.
“In Mexico City, we’re able to enjoy a better quality of life,” added Cedillo. “The days I’m not commuting are the best.”
