[@Dr.Mzungu]

Since you have a Canadian passport why haven't you used it to extend your stay when visiting Europe, Greek Islands? You're always facing the 90 days max stay issue. Can't you exit and enter back with a Canadian passport?

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I didn't have the Canadian passport for the past twenty years, until I just renewed it. But unfortunately what you're suggesting isn't allowed. You could do it and would very likely get away with it as I understand, especially if you exited through some of the southern countries of Europe like Spain. But you would be taking a bit of a risk of getting caught and potentially fined or banned from visiting Europe.

You could go to San Cristóbal de las Casas and Tuxtla Gutiérrez both in the State of Chiapas. There are many things to do and see around that area (less expensive).

Right idea wonderdul trips from San Cristobal infact was looking and reminiscing.. plus affordable hostels...had a few stories as unrest was palpable around Chiapas....I loved it all...until p del carmen too overdine and so much seaweed!!! Got chased by hurricane too so spent just 1 night with no elec in Puerto Escondido took nxt bus out as lagoons all closed down 2 weeks..Mexico is not a cheap place though you pay for what you get tbh...an experience where Spanish comes in mighty useful.

[@gerryz1839]

Gabriel, good to see you, and so glad to see you enjoying the warmth of Mexico again. My dad hails from the state of Jalisco where you are right now. You've covered most of Mexico pretty well, and maybe you've seen El Sumidero and what Chiapas has to offer, but to get really exotic, perhaps you'd like to try Cuatro Ciénegas (the Four Marshes) in the state of Coahuila. Yes, it's a hike north from where you are, but I think that it is unlike anything you may have experienced. It is a largely undiscovered set of unique ecosystems that few travelers have the privilege to enjoy. If you would be interested, you could tool up from Guadalajara on those comfy buses. In the meantime, enjoy the local cuisine as you move about! Cheers!

[@VanessaDiazNYC]

Hey, Gabriel. 1) PV is awesome. Viva Mexico! 2) I am a dual citizen (USA and Mexico) and you just reminded me that I should renew my Mexican passport because I 100% agree with you re: how adversarial is Trump with our allies: Canada, Mexico, and European countries. Good to be prepared. Good luck!!

Just a warning, my understanding is that the US won’t let US citizens enter the US on a foreign passport, so that might scupper your plans to use your Canadian passport to travel from the US while you are renewing your American passport.

[@phillipcarter8045]

But the U S . Will let illegal immigrants enter the U S . Without a passport .

I have four passports. I was born with entitlement to three - Canadian, British and Irish - and have now applied for and received them all. The fourth I acquired when I naturalized in the US: The rule is you should always enter a country of which you are a citizen with that country’s passport. So I use the US passport to enter the US, the Canadian to enter Canada etc. For general travel to everywhere else, I go Irish!

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I see, great to know, I was wondering about that.

Some Mexico suggestions. Mazatlan, beach town that doesn't really cater to US citizen, bus ride from Vallarta plus you can take a ferry across the Gulf of California to Baja(La Paz)from Mazatlan. Bacalar, the new hot spot in Mexico due to the fresh water lagoon there and can day trip to Belize. New aiport opened in Tulum to make getting there easier. Monterrey, the silicon valley of Mexico. The Old town is full of shops and restaurants. Museums galore.

[@wanderbeard]

Guanajuato was also one of my favorite places in Mexico so far, of the couple of dozen stops I've made on my trip through Mexico. Have you made it to Isla Holbox in Yucatan? I stumbled across it recently and it was an amazing island. I ended up extending my stay there because it was such a cool vibe. Sandy roads, golf carts, and some of the best sunsets you'll ever see.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I've been to Isla Mujeres but not to Holbox yet, curious to see it. Good to know that you enjoyed it.

[@wanderbeard]

​@@GabrielTravelerVideos People I spoke to, and from what I gathered, Holbox is how a lot of the Mayan Riviera islands were 10-15 years ago, and that in another 10, it'll probably be the next over-developed place.

[@johnthebigtree]

I'm from Alberta. I've been to Mexico many times both backpacker style staying in hostels and also on all inclusive resort trips. My favourite area is easily Puerto Escondido and it's charming surrounding beach villages. Puerto Vallarta is not even close in comparison. The beaches and ocean swimming are soooo much betting in PE. I found the beaches in PV to be not as nice. Too cold, the water wasn't as nice, no waves. PE the waves are massive, the water the warm, there are sexy surfer guys and girls everywhere (primarily in La Punta). I can't recommend it enough

Lo de Marcos will be much more quiet then Yelapa. Yelapa has become a very busy place. If you haven’t been to the towns/beaches between Puerto Escondido and Huatulco that may be somewhere to check out. William Tauden was there a few years ago, you could reference his videos. Bucerias will be just as busy if not busier than Puerto Vallarta. Enjoy yourself wherever you land. I’ll be watching! 😊

[@TheColdViking]

Can't you as a Canadian get a passport at a Canadian Embassy in a warmer coutry? I think you can, because i got my Norwegian Passport at the embassy in Bangkok. It was a bit hazzle regrading the moval of entry stamp from the old passport over to the new passport, but it was done, and i went on to Cambodia after that.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Not sure, possibly. One problem is that I couldn't just renew my passport since it had been expired for twenty years, so I had to apply for a new one. So they might not do that at an embassy. Regardless I was fine with heading up there, since I wanted to visit Banff anyway.

[@james-k2r]

[@Ojstra]

So it seems that Cuba, Iran and North Korea are in sight of your travels in the future after you have a Canadian passport? Or return to the Southern Hemisphere to New Zealand and Australia where it is Summer now? Although this time I thought that you would stay in cold places (maybe even see the Northern Lights for the first time in Tromsø or Lofoten, Norway) after you had that kind of clothes for cold weather already in Canada, but it is clear that you love warmer weather more.
