I hate driving, this sounds like a dream!

😂😂

I live in Mexico. They are friendly but rich companies pay and treat the workers like slaves. Contract jobs for 6 months. Then they can say adios 53,% live below poverty line. Average minimum ,$ 2.75 USD per day. Not hour. No paid vacations or holidays. You can't have a comfortable life on a smile. Typical American who grew up with privilege

Merida/Yucatan was the first of our 3 Mexican trips, in December 2021. We stayed near Parque Santa Ana. I easily could have unpacked and just...stayed. Strange to be in a foreign land and feel instantly 'at home'. There were, however, days when I thought the sun was trying to murder me. 😀 "Isn't it dangerous?/Aren't you afraid?" are by far the most common comments from friends and family. I've never felt in danger, even when walking the streets of Mexico City. (Coyoacan is totally awesome, BTW)

IF YOU MOVE TO MEXICO YOU ARE NOT AN EXPAT, YOU ARE AN INMIGRANT, AN RESPECT THE COUNTRY LEARNING SPAÑISH.

Help..I'm moving to Merida in 2 months and am having a hard time finding a hair salon...I have straight hair and color it a golden blonde. Can you recommend any salons in Merida that are used to doing expat hair? Please help🌺

Eres un chingon! Ven a NYC!

Thank you for sharing this experience and creating these bilingual videos. So wonderful for those trying to learn the language before traveling.

Thanks for sharing! I've spent the winter and spring months in Merida (dry season) but never the summer months. I had no idea the rains could get this bad, wow!

I love Merida and its amazing history.

How cool is that!

So beautiful to watch, i hope the younger generation is learning as well.

Nice!

I saw those streets!

EN MEXICO NO HAR SERVICIO? DE ALCANTARILLADO ?SEWER?

😅😅😅

The wero is invited to the poc chuc , I was born in the Yucatán, lived there 20 years, now im thriving in the USA , funny

En temporada de lluvias, preparar un par de chanclas o zapatos de plástico en la mochila y una bolsa de plástico para meter mis tenis me ha salvado de muchas ✌🏻

Watch out Hurricane Beryl is entering Yucatán today at mignigjt . It has destroyed Jamaica

Merida is a beautiful city of extremes. From 🌞 to 🌊!! Wow. Your poor shoes and socks at the end. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏾

I heard you guys were getting hit with a hurricane.

Cuidado y te venga saliendo un tolok

Wow this had some amazing footage, it's like the flooding is just part of life. Can't imagine what it would look like after a hurricane... stay safe, Yucatan!

thanks for sharing nexperience with us wow so much rain @4:07 appreciate the english text during video Thanks for sharing this ! Like

Stay safe, and it's interesting that by raising the ground around the buildings you can save them from flooding.

For a moment I thought wtf Louis Theroux lived in Mexico ??

I’m mexican and I’ve lived here my whole life. I want to study college in the USA, now I’m a little nervous 😅 Any advice? :)

I'm buying a house near Cabo. I agree with most everything. I just returned, and another thing I noticed; I didn't see any chem trails in the sky! Not sure what I believe about that, but they weren't there

Love your content new sub here. Blessings ❤😊

I goto merida 2 times a year the food is great I can taste the food and it is a big change from the usa I love merida I am 54 retired in usa and when I get older I look for merida 2 b my next stop in life all tho puerto rico will be my next permanent home for tax reasons also I like puerto rico because it is close 2 the usa mainland

Who owns the media in America? 🤔 America isn’t safe because all the guns shooting and all the guns are flowing south of the border, so cartels get them because America is supplying them, Mexico has crimes too but I travel to Mexico a lot for years and I have never seen anything what the American media says about Mexico, thank God but also homeless is a big problem in America and you see little in Mexico, but even the poorest works

I thought merida is located far at the edge by the ocean far from Morelia

The most shocking ever is the price of rest is insane

I live between Florida, US and Oaxaca, MX. I am much happier in Mexico than the US, and live better! Everyone I encounter on the street are friendly and helpful. I walk 3-10 miles every day in both places - bored in the US, interesting in Mexico. Last month I was back in the US and was shocked at the prices of food, clothes, and most everything. My girl friend and I had dinner in a restaurant in Oaxaca yesterday. We arrived at 2:30, we left there at 9 pm. We talked with the owners, other clients and friends. And had a great time. That is common in Mexico, and absent in the US. I don't have a car either place (first time in 60 years!). You are right about zoning in the US. In the US, there areno stores or services within 2 miles. My home in Mexico is near little markets, restaurants, and interesting things. Walking in the US is boring, in Mexico - never boring. I lived in LA for 3 years during Covid and often felt unsafe when out walking. In Oaxaca, I have never felt unsafe. I love Mexico! All of my friends in Mexico are Mexicans - and one Italian! There are other expats, but I rarely interact with them. Good video - fairly presented information.

I think every new nomad who returns to the States makes one of these videos. I know I felt this way back then, but, not these days. It changes the longer you do this, and, over time, you will see the goodness of all places and not just the green grass on the other side of the hill.

I live in a small USA village and we are very respectful here. Everyone uses USA cities as a barometer for our culture. Cities are a poor judge for that.

I live in merida. And I freeze out every time I go to USA as a tourist hahaha I am from the capital and to be honest people are more friendly in the center part of the country than the south. Yucatecos are nice don't get me wrong but so many times poeple don't say hi, good morning, good night. Like in other parts of the country

Thank you so much for sharing this info..it seems Americans think violence..and speak so bad about Mexico and really it seems to me that it's worse here.

Great video production skills my boy! !Viva Mexico!

Really thanks for the flowers , but why are you stepping on the grass in a prohibited area?.

Mayan food is dull. Try a Puebla food tour. Its a popular Mexican vacation. Visit Puebla... Eat. ALL the famous dishes are Poblano. In fact our major export is chefs..ask Bourdain. Climate is eternal spring. Living costs are very low, I rent a 1 bdr for 2000 in a small college town. Bike everywhere. Produce is local , cheap and QUALITY. 2 gringos. Life is sweet and chill.

Haha way to give it a shot with the hot workout equipment! 😂 Another great, informative video! Progresso is such a dream.

As a born and raised Merida Resident, I agree! Great videos man! Thanks for sharing our little corner of the world. If a can help you with something let me know.

Maya-Ka is a really cool restaurant. Worth checking out at night.

This was awesome. Thank you , for taking us along with you. !! Can't wait for my trip to Progresso . 🏝🏝🌊🌊

When I was in Progresso I remember watching the sunrise in the early morning from my hotel room, which was a beautiful site to see. Also, I liked getting churros from the vendors

Thanks for taking us to "Progreso Yucatán" wow huge statue in the water @17:37 relaxing tour LIKE

Progreso is the perfect blend of lively and tranquil. Plenty to do without all the commercialism noise. This is a great video, loved that we got to see inside the town and what it looks like at night too!

Great Video - definitely have to get to Progresso

A friend of mine hid out in Mexico once. He seemed to like it except for the fact he could only drink bottled water.
