Parts of Mexico have higher crime rates, but again, that is everywhere. Unfortunately, the US spoke about Mexico like the whole country is dangerous for a very long time. That is why I believe people continue to spread this narrative. Some of them have never even been to see for themselves! Thank you for traveling and sharing your experiences!

danger can be any city, but the whole country of Mexico is not like "Narcos' on Netflix. you should always avoid certain high crime areas, especially at night, just as you would in NYC or Chicago. Some tourist areas are safer, they don't want a crime deterrent. I wouldn't call Tijuana a tourist destination..but further down the Baja, should be less dangerous.

The ultimate result of corruption galore, rampant narcotics trafficking, and an almost lawless land . To add to the whole dangerous mess, if your not a citizen of Mexico 🇲🇽, and you get in trouble ….

If you look at crime reports, Cancun is notorious and Acapulco was extremely dangerous when we were researching where to go. Even Mexicans avoided it. Maybe things have changed there, I don't know. By the way, the only time I got food poisoning is when we visited a lavish resort in Mazatlan for one of those silly time share lectures. And I found it really offensive they made it like a racist gated community and locals weren't allowed in. What is the point of travel if you don't meet the locals and get to know them?

@I AM Where is here? If you are in the States, you must know how dangerous it is to Latin Americans. I refused to live there because I would not let my son be subjected to that level of racism, descrimination and violence. Here in Canada, things could still get bad, but far more subtle than the states. It is pretty darn bad for Indigenous to here folks though. Why does everywhere have to be so dangerous if you are even slightly brown skinned? May karma prevail.

[@dcarts5616]

@@livableincome I don’t know where you lived in the US but when I was there it was only dangerous in the neighborhoods where one lived. Out and about it was fine for us. Crime statistics show that as you put it “brown people” are more likely to be violently attacked by other “brown people” (your words). The lighter skinned people were also more likely to be violently attacked by “brown people” (your words) so I do not know what you’re talking about other than apparently you like many just regurgitating the nonsense being peddled by state run Pravda media in the US. Such a shame…

This is so amazing. I love that you both have travelled the world and can still find new and amazing adventures to share with us. Vanlifing in Mexico with you two is going to be epic 😎

[@sofi_lyrintzis]

Thank you for sharing the beautiful parts of Mexico!! I grew up in San Diego with the majority of my family in Mexico, I always felt that Mexico was extremely underrated because everyone seemed scared to travel there. It's great to see content highlighting its good side :) p.s. love your videos!

[@glcglc9090]

Thank you! For not listen to the bad comments about my country , its amazing everywhere you go , people is really Nice , and we are more than glad to have you .. please keep sharing your tríp to show what they are missing

[@doubtingthomas9612]

I'm honestly impressed by the time and effort you guys put into these videos. Keep it up, Kara & Nate! 💛💛💛

[@cuteprincess441]

I love Mexico! I feel like people will ALWAYS have something negative to say about any desicion you ever make. Have to just zone them out, and do whats best for you two. :)

[@KJ-Southerngirl]

Kara, you’re rockin the new do! You guys are so great to watch. I feel like everyone else, that I’m traveling and seeing wonderful things through you. It’s weird to feel like I know you when you’re complete strangers, but since 2019 I’ve followed you. You’re from my hometown, went to school that I’m very familiar with and love, and going after life with so much energy and appreciation. Can’t wait to enjoy Mexico with you! #prayersforBec

[@MarigeneTacanReganMamaGene]

So many people were discouraging about my drive down to Cabo! Got there safely and with little issues. We drove in without a FMM and I was able to leave by getting one at the airport on my way home. It was no biggie.

[@SidneyRay97]

I did a month long trip to Mexico to visit friends and everyone tried to scare me into not going too. It was one of the best travel experiences I have ever had.

[@Novaximus]

I enjoy the good vibes the two of you have. You get along together so well.

[@MarReyes37]

Am so proud of u guys Mexico has a special place in my heart hope u gave an amazing time

[@jules_angels9754]

Your videos make my days whenever I watch them! Keep posting you’re doing amazing!

[@KaraandNate]

I'm so glad!

[@rafaelcasillas4532]

I am glad you did not let people's comments prevent you from taking this trip. Mexico in general is great! every country has its issues, as long as you're not looking for trouble you won't have to worry about it. Mexicans are some of the warmest, friendliest, happiest and most hospitable people we've ever encountered. It's a cultural thing, "Mi casa es tu casa". I love your videos!! :D

[@rgnyc9331]

Such a fun episode. Thank you guys for making me smile today!

[@TexasRoadrunners]

Love your videos. BTW gas prices were going up a long time before Ukraine/Russia conflict. The roof deck is perfect. Thanks for posting.

[@TexasRoadrunners]

@GreatWhiteBuckwheat Anyone that knows the business knows that out of every 100 test drill sites, only about 2 have a positive production outcome. Plus the 5,000 permits you are quoting is over a 20 year period? (or more) Do your research and don't rely on the fake news. Gas prices were stable before Biden took his up his pen.

[@TexasRoadrunners]

@GreatWhiteBuckwheat A so called drilling permit does not give them permit to drill. It gives them permission to "explore". Once they find oil they have to get more permit along with the equipment, land owners permission, county & state regulations, etc.

[@TexasRoadrunners]

@GreatWhiteBuckwheat Maybe the Keystone Pipeline should have been finished.

[@TexasRoadrunners]

@GreatWhiteBuckwheat You people?

[@MyIntuitiveSense]

On your next trip you can buy it on line first but of course don't forget to get it stamped if driving through. Another little tip, when you are closer to customs going into the US they can hear your conversations in your vehicle. In my almost 3 yrs of living there in Puerto Nuevo, I never went to Guadalupe. It is beautiful! Will have to go next time I visit. Sunsets in Baja are almost as stunning as here in Puerto Vallarta! 🎴Glad you enjoyed your trip there and didn't let the fear propaganda scare you. I crossed myself on foot maybe 20 times at all hours and travelled in taxi vans home. People were always helpful and made you feel welcome.

[@winkhantaung9436]

Hey Kara and Nate, I watch literally all of your videos for years and they're very inspiring. Drive safe and take care ❤️

[@arlenesolis024]

You can get any better than this. Wow!!! Mexico has always been my favorite country and I’m dying to go back. My favorite are the people. Kara, your cilantro 🌿 song is our cooking song. When we cook we sing the cilantro song 😂. Now the 🥑 song priceless. Have fun and I can’t wait to see the rest of the trip.

[@elfrinehingis]

the shoot of Kara with the sunset is masterpiece, Kara you're stunning! anddd as much as you guys said "we love mexico" i literally can fall in love with mexico too

[@teleahmiranda3948]

Entering Tijuana has always been easy in my experiences! Leaving, however, is another story. I’ve waited in our car at the border line for 8 hours once. 😳😂 But on average, I wait three hours. I’ve entered the US from Tecate once and it was only an hour or so. 🇲🇽

[@triciadukes]

Thank you so much for keeping your content SO family friendly! My 10 year old daughter LOVES watching your videos. And while I still pre watch the videos, I don’t really feel like I have to anymore. We have started from the beginning again so she can watch all your travels!

[@zellasimmons9627]

3 times in the 70’s my parents drove us to Mexico (not Baja) from Minnesota towing a tent trailer. The adventure was unreal even for a kid. Soak it all in - I feel like it is as safe as anywhere else you have been - My memories are the small things - darting out of the rain into a local restaurant and them standing on a table to plug in the blender to make sauce for our enchiladas. Getting sun burned on the beach where the movie 10 was set - shopping in local markets … and always nice people in the camp grounds.

[@ameliaedolie]

I’ve been waiting for this video! I love you guys so much and you inspire me to travel when I’m older 🥰🥰

[@robindawn]

My daughter and I spent a week in Tijuana a few years ago and we loved it so much. Never felt unsafe, even took an Uber for the first time ever lol. Love Mexico 🇲🇽
