I have down here in Baja for over 25 years. One needs to see it an live it to understand how stupid it is to stay in the US. I'm 80 with Medicare but find it cheaper to pay for my medical needs and drugs if needed here in Mexico. Granted, I am healthy and exercise a lot and use no meds but they are cheap if I need them. The US has become a third world country. IMO.

Yeah right, people get killed all the time and noone ever catches the murderers. Two years ago my uncle who was a taxi driver got in an argument with someone on a motorcycle, he told his wife about it. Then later in the day they called her wife and told her my uncle had been killed that people had seen a motorcycle ride up to his taxi and they shot him 8 times in the head thru his window. My ex wife is currently in mexico right now she had to go to her older sisters funeral cause someone shot her. A few years earlier someone had killed that ladies son too. Within the last five years two brothers a sister and a nephew of my ex wife have been murdered in guanajuato mexico.

When you live there and ingrain yourself into the neighborhood and the people you’ll realize how dangerous it can be,it’s not dangerous for tourist because not only they’re not there that long but tourist are in touristy areas as well as tourist for the most part are off limits not becuase you’re a tourist only but because you’re not there that long to offend anybody you shouldn’t be offending but you live there you’ll understand the importance of keep your head down and mind your business.

Question...and this is "a serious topic": What kind of jobs can an "American get" to float one's bank account. In other words...does an American simply move here to "retire and spend their wealth"...if they have enough to retire and then grow old and die...or, are their' sustainable jobs in Mexico. America is getting to be a 3rd World country now...and unsustainable.

For a European from Belgium I see and hear that Mexico is cheap for us Europeans and I say it again, very cheap. 125 dollars for a bicycle, for a decent normal bicycle you can easily pay 400 Euro (485 US Dollars) to 600 Euro (730 US Dollars) here. Eating out is in Mexico also very cheap compared to Europe. We could live like royalty in Mexico.

Hi....anyone who will read my comment. I'm in canada and planning to leave asap since things are getting worse and worse by the day and I feel like the walls are closing in. Besides, the cold, and rainy weather 9-10 months of the year is literally torturous if you don't like the rain. I don't know where to go but Mexico looks like the only choice for me now. The thing's I've never been there before and I feel a little too nervous moving down there without knowing anything or anyone to help me settle down. Anyone has any advice on how to make my move ? Also, looking for the least expensive ways to stay there (mostly rent). I appreciate any feedback/info.

I found a 2nd story apartment, near el centro for $150USD, smaller, on-street parking, no storage, awkward entrance, noisy, tighter quarters. Yeah I'm probably paying a premium, but I like the people I am paying, I'm unpacked and its much cheaper than the states. It helps to view prices in relation to the prevailing salaries in that locale.

Thank you for giving me a push without even knowing.. to move as a young girl to CDMX without knowing anyone there. You look and sound even happier in your last videos! This hair makes you look hella young! Baja looks beautiful! I have been living in CDMX but due to covid and being a digital nomad designer myself, I also decided to move. However, to Nayarit to a pueblito for now. Love CDMX though, just like you. What keeps me coming back to your videos is how natural you are. Easy going. Honest. You always explain in a simple way. You are neither fake nor annoying like some travel youtubers :D And definitely not a typical gringa hehe. Keep it up girl, keep shining and sharing!

Don't feel too ripped off about the bikes. I pay at least a grand for all my bikes. You're not going to find great deals in Mexico for them because all bikes are basically made in China and Taiwan and imported in from there. If you could put a rack and panniers (bike bags) on the backs of your bikes they can be excellent grocery getters. The weather is so nice there, it's a shame so many people feel like they have to drive everywhere.

I studied it in high school, but my level was incredibly basic when I first got here. I have a few videos on the channel about my language learning journey - I really started focusing on learning about a year and a half ago with a program called Baselang. Since then I've joined a book club where we read a book in spanish and talk about it once a week in Spanish, I read the news in spanish, I obviously speak it when I leave the house here in Mexico, and I try to put myself in as many situations to speak and hear it as much as possible. I also watch Spanish/Latin American TV shows on Netflix (currently watching Casa de Papel and it is FANTASTIC!) and I also listen to podcasts that are in spanish - at first ones that were made for learners like Spanish and Go and then onto others that are for spanish speakers like Tedx in Spanish or Radio Ambulante. Hope that helps a little bit!

We don’t have a car, but if you’re going to spend time exploring this area of the peninsula I think that would be your best option. Best place for month to month rentals in my experience has been Facebook marketplace and Facebook groups that are specific to the place you’re looking to live (like todos Santos newsfeed or expats in la Paz). I’ve found a few gems through craigslist and then I’ve also had some luck by contacting local property managers. Airbnb is always a last resort if you can find anything.

There are so many beautiful coastal towns in Oaxaca, Colima, Jalisco, and Nayarit with luxurious tropical vegetation and mountains that come down to the sea. I would have gone to San Blas, Nayarit where you can stay quite cheaply and eat cheaply. The water is also a lot warmer. Looking today at the temperature of the sea in Todos Santos it is 15.3ºC while in San Blás it is 23.1ºC. For me that is cold.

I left Mexico City in June because our lease was up and my boyfriend still couldn't (and still can't) go back to work because of the restrictions there at the moment. I've been to the coasts in Oaxaca, Colima, Jalisco, Nayarit, Sinaloa, and you're right - they're absolutely stunning. I really love Nayarit and the quiet beaches south of Puerto Vallarta. Huatulco and Puerto Escondido are two of my favorite places in all of Mexico. But this region is somewhere I've never explored before. I wanted to go somewhere new - Mexico has so many treasures to uncover!

@@laura-bronner Yes, it does. Thanks for the prompt reply. I am enjoying your channel. A little story: in 1965 I was in Pochutla and Puerto Ángel for nine months. There was a dirt road over the mountains between Oaxaca and the coast. Puerto Escondido was a village at the time and Huatulco was probably smaller than a village. At that time no one even knew about it. There was no road between Puerto Ángel and Puerto Escondido or Huatulco. I was of course the only American in the town and managed to survive getting free rent and teaching English to a few private students. I already knew Spanish and I survived; just barely perhaps. I cant count the times I came close to an early death.

@@rayvogensen2983 when was the last time you were in Mexico? You just seem to be talking about your time there 50yrs ago in all of your comments! You sound like one of those old people that talks about their years as the captain of the high school football team because it was the highlight of their life or something. This couple has already been to many parts of Mexico and they are discovering for themselves new areas so they can make up their own minds what the area is like rather than just listen to others' opinions and stay stuck in the same area they already know well. It's called adventure travel. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. Might turn out after their time in TS and BCS that they prefer other parts of Mexico but that shouldn't deter them from their current travels. I remember several years ago i was in a relationship with a woman who wanted to go to Iceland for a vacation and i had zero interest, or rather- i wanted to go somewhere warm and tropical instead. She went behind my back and booked a flight to Iceland anyhow and decided she was going to go on her own. Rather than complain, i ponied up the money and booked a seat next to her on that flight. We went to Iceland and i had an amazing time and fell in love with the place and the people. I felt like i was at home even though i hate cold and cloudy weather. The point of me mentioning this is that i would never have discovered my appreciation for Iceland if i never went there in person and discovered it for myself. Sometimes we need to go out of our comfort zones.

@@sashachip You don't even know me so please show a miminum of respect. Maybe it is not your intention but your comments come across as being very rude. I have the right to say that a town in the desert of northern Mexico is not as pleasing as the tropical coast of Nayarit, for example. It is my opinion and has nothing to do with my age. If you don't like my opinion, just ignore it but please don't try to analyse me and give me lessons on life.
