Chicanos move to Mexico City.. but do we like it?

In 2021, we sold most of our belongings and decided to become digital nomads. We grew tired of Chicago winters, crime, American mass shootings, and set our sights on moving to Mexico. All this time we’ve been saying “we moved to Mexico” when really we’ve been traveling throughout Mexico, so does that really count as “moving”? Part of our goals in traveling the country was to learn more about the beautiful cultures in our heritage country but also to explore potential cities or towns to call our next home. We made numerous videos analyzing different places we liked, talking pros and cons, and now, we find ourselves moving to a city we’d never even considered an option: Mexico City

[@EatBailaTravel]

Thank you! and likewise to you! There's already a decent community of returned migrants who grew up in the US (deportees/adult children of deportees who came back with their parents) and they're great people to connect with so far. Let us know if you do come! We can definitely build up a healthy Mexican-American community in CDMX ❤️🇲🇽

My thoughts are that all roads lead to and emanate from CDMX. As has been the case for the last seven centuries. You don't 'get' Mexico fully if you don't 'get' Mexico City. A visit to Mexico focusing on its history and culture starts here.

I was born and raised in Mexico City (Polanco). I live in Northern California now, but CDMX Is just an amazing world. So much culture, incredible higher education, tons of museums and one of the best gastronomies in the world. The areas of Roma, Condesa and Polanco are vibrant, diverse and beautiful. Good luck.

[@RRRR-ed1lp]

All Mexicans have a bias against Mexico City just like all countries have a bias against their capital city or big cities. Everyone in the USA thinks NYC is awful and that all new yorkers are mean and weird, the French say the same thing about parisians, etc. My abuelitos were from Sonora and they hated CDMX and its people. That's why Yahritza said what she said. (That's why I'm really surprised everyone's attacking them when in fact all Mexicans trash talk CDMX, why single them out?, maybe because they're Chicanos? I don't know!.) The only Mexicans that think highly of CDMX are the locals, everyone else calls them "chilangos" (which means outsiders).

[@chacmool2581]

... Which only goes to show people's ignorance and prejudice.

[@RRRR-ed1lp]

To be fair, people from Mexico City think that Mexicans in the rest of the country are inferior. That's also true. The hatred is mutual. Just like USA folks think New Yorkers suck, New Yorkers think of the rest of Americans as country and backwards. So it goes both ways.

[@EatBailaTravel]

Yes exactly great point! It’s part of what baffles me too about all the hate

[@astrozoo]

Yahritza went there personally and spoke the truth of her experience. Don't blame it on chisme de provincia.

[@supermananimationsstudios8519]

I'm so glad you guys moved to Mexico City. When I retire, I am also moving to Mexico City, Polanco specifically. I love the culture, the food, the people, and having an international airport are among the many things that I love about that place.

nice! there really is a lot to love about this place

[@elisamdo]

Ahhh!! My dream is to buy a place in Polanco! Another in Cancun. And, of course my “main” home here in Northern CA. I want to do the winter migration south and come back to CA during the summers (rainy season in Mexico). That’s my retirement dream.

Fun fact: The Latin population in Vancouver has skyrocketed in the past few years, but it's a completely different aspect of the population than in America--it's virtually all middle class people from either CDMX or Guadalajara...probably because you can't just walk into Canada.

Its allways very important if you plan to move somewhere go for some time and see if you really like it. When i got my American Visa i kinda wanted to move to Los Angeles, but when i visited the city for a plan 3 week, i couldt take it anymore, i only lasted for 5 days, and i appreciate my home town, Ensenada Baja , where at least i can walk to the store by the corner. Thats my advise.

Not sure if I would ever drive as I do in My medium/small city in the United States. My Mexican mother scared me about going to Mexico after I graduated highschool. That's 30 years now.

Immigrants coming to the USA often carry various misconceptions and biases. As someone who immigrated to the USA, I encountered many fellow Mexicans who held both accurate perceptions and biases about Mexico. I believe this stems from their desire to distance themselves from the realities they experienced in Mexico. I was fortunate to have grown up in Mexico City, granting me access to resources that many people from rural areas lack. My perception of Mexico evolved as I had the opportunity to attend university and enjoy a more comfortable life. Also, Many of the Mexicans I met here with misconceptions about Mexico don't have an amazing life here either, which, to me, is also an interesting contradiction.

i visited mexico city last Feb from Texas to attend Zona Maco, latin american's biggest art fair. i was impressed with the big boulevards and the public transportation during my 3 days. was not as polluted as i thought it would be and it was much greener than i thought (great tree cover). i hope to attend zona maco again in 2024 so i can explore their famous food scene more. also would like to see their museums and ruins more (only went to carlos slim's museum, but was not impressed relative to texas or other u.s. art museums). just did not have enough time there (i hope to check out their aztec artifacts and art someday, since the maya artifacts just finished a run in texas after the met in nyc - stunning). but clearly cosmopolitan city (just glad i did not have to drive a car there, much less use a cab during my short 3 day stay - subway was great for me).

also as someone from nyc, i'll live in cdmx in a heart beat

[@EatBailaTravel]

I thought about that a lot actually that someone from nyc would be so much more confident using the metro systems than I would lol Chicago’s is great but no where as hectic as CDMX and nyc 😅

[@chacmool2581]

​​​@@EatBailaTravelYeap. I grew up in NYC, taking the subway and all. CDMX metro is fine. Maybe what they say about Chicagoans being softies compared to NYorkers is true after all. 😅

[@juansoto7693]

Don't give up, you'll get it. But also you need to go directly to the company and apply.

[@EatBailaTravel]

Which company? Are you referring to my job?

Thank you! I hope your dream comes true 💫😊

Your quality of life is going to largely depend on where you live. Rent can be expensive in some places. Narvarte is probably a happy medium. And yes, you’ll never ever run out of things to do.

[@EatBailaTravel]

Yes we noticed that the areas that offer higher quality of life also are much more expensive 😬

[@user-jw6nc9mg4q]

What’s the cost of living in CDMX?

[@EatBailaTravel]

we will find out soon enough.. videos to come!

[@EatBailaTravel]

ah I'm so sorry I'm just now seeing this comment. We've been behind ever since I (Jenny) started my new job. I hope you enjoyed CDMX and I'm sorry we couldn't meet up

You two look like you belong in CDMX! Coolest city in Mexico do doubt! ❤ So Jenny when will you know if you have the job? I can’t believe they have you waiting this long! Will pray for you it all comes together soon. My daughter has been very interested in something like this for a while. She wants to go to UNAM but only assumed she had to be a Mexican citizen to attend, which she can turn into with her Dad but hasn’t yet. But she’d prefer to go as a international student from a U.S. college.

[@EatBailaTravel]

gracias! 🤗 well, according to them "I'm their candidate of choice", and they're waiting on getting some sort of legal issues sorted out due to the fact that it's the university's first international job based in Mexico. It's taking longer than they expected, too. That's super cool that your daughter wants to attend UNAM! She could certainly go as an exchange student but I'm also fairly certain she could enroll as a non-citizen for her full education if she wanted to. Once I start the job I will know more and would be happy to offer guidance.

[@chacmool2581]

I am waiting for your vid titled "De Chicanos a Chilangos". Or "De Chicago a Chimalistac". 😅

[@EatBailaTravel]

LOL 😆

[@astrozoo]

Supposedly there's a spot in Mexico city where Chicanos hang out. I saw a clip of a bardershop full of deported homies in CDMX.

[@EatBailaTravel]

we actually hung out there the other day! It's called Pocha House

Es verdad que los precios de las rentas han incrementado muchísimo en CDMX???

[@EatBailaTravel]

Sí, es cierto. Hicimos un video documentando nuestra busqueda de departamento y ahí se pueden ver los precios de renta.

No problem. Kevin works with an outdoor home design company in Texas. He coordinates the construction projects.

We don’t even call you chicanos . The support to Yaritza was because they were the typical working family trying to succeed , not because they were super talented ,we knew they were born there but they tried to show off “they were exquisite Americans , that speaking English means you’re superior and criticizing their roots. And there’s another video where they literally say “we don’t hate Mexico we just don’t like it “ ( but they like the money ) . Every KZbinr that reacts to Mexico knows thet if they don’t like something they keep it to themselves or else . If they prefer the American people and culture , they can sing in English and compete with English speaking artists if they feel better that way . Their apologies weren’t sincere they still think they didn’t do anything wrong . On the other hand their manager , he didn’t send them to an obedience school before let them talk , and where did he take them , in a good hotel noises can’t be heard . Even in Chicago when you open the window of your hotel at the 10th floor you hear the noise . So if you respect mexican culture and food , being born here or there , you don’t have nothing to fear . And stop believing the US establishment propaganda of dangerous country , we don’t sell weapons on every corner , we don’t have shootings at schools , we don’t have CSI agencies or Criminal Minds cases here . But they don’t want to lose taxes and many Americans are moving , Canadians and Europeans .

[@EatBailaTravel]

we've recently warmed up to the term "chicano"... but I'm curious, what would you call us? in one word
