When I hear terms like "coach" and "metaphysical" I turn around and head in the other direction. I'd heard that Tulum had become overrun with a traveler/ expat population. I wonder if this person Is indicative. Let's see if I can be patient enough to hear what he has to say about what's going on in Mexico these days, if he even has an awareness that extends outside of his immediate bubble...

Yeah, I agree. I don't come to this channel to hear people like him talk. Major turnoff. I would never live in Tulum either. Too many expats driving up prices and and turning it into an enclave for themselves.

I really don't wish to be unkind in any way, and I apologise for any vulgarity, but in the U.K. we would identify this narcissistic gentleman as a bit of a "wanker". He is totally up himself. He is entirely self-obsessed and deploys every fashionable cliche in the book to illustrate his story. Above all, he loves talking about himself and speaks in a tiresome pseudo-intellectualiesse. He also reveals that he has no settled career plan and has failed at most of the different jobs he has undertaken. In other words, he's a drop-out. Presumably, he must enjoy some inherited wealth, as the rest of us are too busy trying to make ends meet by getting on with life and earning a living for our families. How can I put this politely? I don't think this chap would be my cup of tea if I were to run into him on holiday. I think that after about five minutes in his company I would be looking to make my excuses and get away.

Thank you for your time and posting. Doesn't speak Spanish. Didn't try, oh, but he's going to. IMHO, this guy is full of it. He contradicted himself way too much. All he talked about was himself. You asked about healthcare and he starts talking about where he works AND starts promoting himself. We learned nothing. World traveler... Mexico. Expat... Did I hear he's on a tourist visa? Kristin, you couldn't find someone more genuine? Maybe you know more than what this video puts out, but again, IMHO, this guy is a scam. On a side note. Whoever does your editing, they do a fantastic job. I've been looking into retiring to Mexico, but from what I can tell, you need a very high income. Ecuador did not work out and am looking into Malaysia. But Las Vegas right now is fine.

@Mr.DJones6 ай бұрын
@@lacha608 This was four years ago and immigration has changed a bit for Ecuador. First, I got all my paperwork squared away. FBI report (takes about 6 weeks but only costs $15) Filled out my immigration papers (cost at that time was $750 to immigrate at the court), and got a copy of my original birth certificate. My AirBnB was $15 a night; my own room and shared bathroom. Started at Cuenca. After walking around town for a couple of weeks, decided not to immigrate. Every building had graffiti. Every building, because of theft, had spikes, broken glass, or barbed wire on top of every fence. Better homes had electric fencing. The smog/exhaust was horrible. Cuenca had great public transportation but the buses and cars were old and spewed out a lot of thick exhaust so the air was bad. A lot of trash on the ground as well. Just not for me. Really nice people though. Hope that helps. :)

From which university did this guy earn his engineering degree? Was it UToronto? He's way too flaky and full of himself for a guy with a UToronto degree. Kristin, it's important to carefully vet the credibility of your interviewees. Featuring questionable sources could potentially damage your reputation.

This guy's story somewhat mirrors my own. Rebuilding one's body, mind, soul and esp finances after a major accident isn't a sprint...it's a long long marathon. When I met a chiropractor who also knew many Asian healing techniques, that's when my soul began to recharge which then spilled over into the other areas that needed work. It was great to hear his story.
