How Much We Spent Living in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for 1 Month

[@joeflirtz1081]

OMG, loved it how you keep a very simple lifestyle ❤ I'm hopefully moving yo PV soon and that's pretty much the kind of lifestyle i will like to have. Bienvenidos a México 😊

[@smitty1701]

You two, excuse me, three are inspirational. Be safe, keep going!

[@nicoleandmico]

Awe thank you for the compliment and thanks for following along!!

Love your videos and how real you both keep it!

[@nicoleandmico]

Thanks so much!!

When you went to the "Mirador de la Cruz" you were correct it is a Bay. It's called Banderas Bay, one of the largest bays in Mexico, and stretches across 80 kilometers of the Pacific Ocean.

[@nicoleandmico]

Amazing, thank you for confirming! It looked like a bay but the size of it had us second guessing. Now we know we weren’t wrong about how huge it was at least 😅

[@Modelbehavior38]

Actually one of the largest Bays in the world. 🌎

Really appreciate this video!

[@DD654-jx9kl]

I love the way you are traveling and showing your journey! I feel so happy when I see you have a new video here ❤

Try Mérida Mexico next. That is where I call home.

First time guest here. Love the vid, the content is great. Looking through the comments and didn't see that you answered the question of where the running area is located? We travel to Vallarta often and would love to check this running route. Thanks in advance. :)

We are in our third year in PV (3rd Summer) and summers are brutally hot and humid. We are a couple who cooks 99% of our meals at home and we can live on $2,000. per month because we have a sweetheart deal on rent. There are two English Masses at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church downtown with the main one beng at 10AM on Sunday. For Veterans, there is an American Legion Post 12 in PV (Banderas Bay).

[@delllittle5692]

We don't eat much, especially when we travel, is it frowned upon to take leftovers with you? At 22:25, looked like a Summer Tanager. Where was this "running" spot?

[@dashayoder2239]

Can you share the airbnb you stayed at? We go to PV a lot with our kids and are going back in November to trail race.

[@nicoleandmico]

Sure thing! Hopefully this link works (sometimes KZbin hides links) www.airbnb.com/slink/YRSwlFTq If you speak Spanish I’m sure you’d enjoy the area even more than us! If you have dogs though, just a word of caution that there are lots of neighbourhood dogs who didn’t like us coming by with Evie. We had to drive to a different area to walk her every day which was a hassle but worth it for us 😊

[@valm.5243]

Lovely video! What time of year was this shot? Was it shot in July during the low season?

[@kimberlyrashad4817]

What is the running route called? Where do you grocery shop? Are fresh fruit/veggie markets abundant and affordable?

[@dianaludwig925]

Great video! That is like the area we live/visit in Mazatlan. Bought further inland and love it! So no Centro, or golden zone, but in a completely local neighborhood! It's a fabulous area! :) I will enjoy following along!

[@nicoleandmico]

That sounds so wonderful! That’s definitely our preference, we just really need to take some Spanish lessons!

[@dianaludwig925]

[@alainstonge6219]

Even before I checked out where you were from, I knew your were Canadian nice! I look forward to watching your new videos and catching up on your back catalogue. :)

[@nicoleandmico]

Glad you enjoyed and thanks for coming on the journey with us 😊

[@DLFH]

It's always nice that free activities can offset some eating out costs, and hopefully you were able to find a little local place to try their version of chilaquiles with hard fried chips and an egg. That is an absolutely gorgeous area you guys like to run and walk in, and comes with fantastic bird watching.

[@nicoleandmico]

Yes we found so many great places to eat, it wasn’t hard to try a new one every now and then 😁 and our running route was our pride and joy, always so peaceful, and full of people enjoying the Mexican outdoor therapy. Loved it!🥰

[@pedrozatravel]

Thank you for sharing everything with us

[@ginacisneros3747]

I'm moving there in 4 short years. I meant to move there in my 30s but I will be 60. Glad to know there are

[@katemitchell665]

I didn’t catch where that running route was? Thanks.

[@adrianfonseca6774]

I was able to look at the area and reference it with Google Maps and it looks like the beach where it leads to is Playa Del Holi. From the beach it looks like they ran towards the mountains as I was able to see the trails and roads on the maps. You can reference El Oasis Del Holi Grill and Chicabal Sunset Club Pacific Ocean. Hope that helps.

[@cindygerchman3883]

enjoyed video, absolutly love vallarta and all places you show im not familiar with your running trail can you tell me name /location so we can check it out next time

[@nicoleandmico]

For sure! Its called Parque Lineal Rio Pitillal. You can park at the end near Soriana, or, as you saw in the video, we also liked to park at the beach and run to Soriana and back so we could end at the beach and let Evie run in the water.

[@Todoterreno_4x4]

Great video, did you guys travel along the coast from California down to Mazatlan?

[@nicoleandmico]

Yes we did! We drove all the way from Canada straight until we got to Mazatlan. Stayed in Mazatlan for almost two months before continuing along the coast to Puerto Vallarta. We have other videos on our channel detailing the entire drive 😁

[@Todoterreno_4x4]

@@nicoleandmico we(my wife and I) are watching your videos from the beginning. I came across your videos by watching other people's videos about Puerto Vallarta. You got yourselves a couple of followers.

[@kirkmadere5414]

Thanks for the video. I like the sharing about the car repair cost. That would have been double or triple in the US. How much is your car insurance?

[@nicoleandmico]

Definitely! And so far the fix is holding, so hopefully we don't have a repeat incident. We purchased 6 months of insurance which cost us $300USD for all 6 months :)

[@Jilltoons]

Your monthly expenses are amazing. A retired couple could easily afford this too.

[@nicoleandmico]

I think so too!

Haha yeah I missed the avocado toast train when I was big 10 years ago, but I’m finally on board 😂 and we are definitely not fast runners, but we enjoy a good run when we have access to a route 😁

You cannot say that Mexican food is the best before trying Brazilian food.

I'd like to try Brazilian food but I'm a vegetarian and I hear they don't have as many vegetable-based options like Mexican food does. If I heard wrong, pls correct m/e!

So basically you went there to eat non food sandwiches at home, no activity except moving at a cheep beach with your rented car… did nothing attracting except walking on the shore… so expensive everything became !!! So sad…

[@nicoleandmico]

It's a shame you can't see the beauty and peace in this lifestyle

[@ginacisneros3747]

Eeesh, the simplicity and beauty of this particular Mexican town lends itself to chillaxing. Of course adventures are plentiful but these two captured the essence of "living in PV". (This has been my 2nd home my entire life.) The point is, the affordability of living in this paradise. When I retire in 4 years, I can live very comfortably

[@julienleveau972]

@@ginacisneros3747 I love your plans, unfortunately people living there, don’t earn that much money a month and live with an average of $600 us, so good for you that you can made it with less than 2k,but most of people here don’t, period. 20 years ago, living there was affordable, now it’s not, a burrito used to cost 4us, now it’s $12 to $20… The place is gorgeous, with the most charming people on earth, but living cost just went so crazy, I’m actually sad for the mains tourists that can’t really enjoy the place unless you have plenty of $$$, which as you pointed, won’t be an issue for you… Hopefully you’ll give good tips to locals once you’ll get there…
