LIVING IN OAXACA, MEXICO 🇲🇽 // my experience working remotely for 10 days and WHY you should too

[@hartthv542]

As an indigenous women from Oaxaca, I would advise no. It would gentrify the community. So many indigenous people are already being “kicked out” of there community due to so many foreigners moving INTO these areas. We love foreigners but do not encourage people to live there while indigenous people are being kicked out!

[@Max-qk3xi]

Yes , go gentrify your own country before trying to gentrify our land

[@guillermoperalta6659]

well, what you ask is not possible, if you see money , you take it. that is the real thing. this things you can't stop. I'm a Mexican and I live here. imagine the economy of this city without Tourists. Gentrification is just another imigration issue like the usa ilegal people. you don't care about what happens when you move, works either way.

[@whathell6t]

@@guillermoperalta6659 That’s easy said than done. You’re Mexicans, but don’t live in Oaxaca. Hell! Mexico, D.F. is having the same issue but at grander scale.

I lived in Oaxaca for four years and believe it or not I didn't get to know every single corner of the state. It's a huge and really beautiful state.

Hi! Do you think it is easy to find a restaurant/cosmetic/clothes job in Oaxaca for a french woman who wants to live in this city? Thx :)

[@Orizaba121]

I’m thinking of moving there. I can get you a work from home job like me and we can live as roommates, what do you say? :)

Nice video, hello from Oaxaca✨. Thanks for love our city . Also the tradition in general are amazing.

[@georgesiosi]

I agree! Hello from Oaxaca too!

[@emmanuelsv4379]

I really liked your video about Oaxaca, but please do not encourage people to come and live here, that is a serious problem for local people, since people like you who earn money in dollars obviously spend in pesos so It is cheap and comfortable for them to live in the city of Oaxaca, which is why the number of foreigners who decide to stay and live has been increasing, so the cost of living in the city increases, but for us Oaxacans who receive a salary in pesos this affects us directly and I have been displaced in recent years by you

[@ItalianoWithJodina]

Thank you for this lovely and inspiring video. I’ve just watched it at a critical decision-making moment and it was very helpful. I like your calm and positive delivery. Oaxaca seems like a place where I can do my life and appreciate the local culture and possibly even become a part of it. Thanks again so much I have liked and subscribed.

[@stevewillis1916]

Gentrify what? Rich fucks destroy the world with their billions. We make Pennies compared. I’m using my money live like they do. If it takes going to a country rich people avoid and things are cheaper then so be it. We’re so conditioned to live like losers, while the elite live lives of pleasure 24/7. 100% move to Oaxaca as long as you’re nice to the community, you’re not doing any wrong.

[@stevewillis1916]

I live in Colorado and Mexicans are all around me and I love them. They tell me all the time to retire in Mexico. They realize this earth is ours. You’re a weird person. You don’t actually know Mexicans or what makes the country great.

Gastronomy in Oaxaca is AMAZING. I'm going there for the International festival Guelaguetza that is in July. Thanks for the info 💃🏼♥️

Thanks for the video! How did you feel about the water situation in Oaxaca? Did you feel comfortable consuming water or drinks with ice in them?

[@WorldwideWu]

I avoided drinking tap water and just bought bottled water. Usually at restaurants they would also hand me water bottles when I ordered water and I don’t remember getting glasses of water with ice!

Hi Charlie from Boston I am very interested in visiting Oaxaca I just subscribed to your channel you did a great job I loved it good luck in your endeavors there. Can I fly directly to Oaxaca? How far is the airport from the city center?

[@WorldwideWu]

Hi Charlie! Thank you for subscribing!! I don’t believe there are any direct flights from Boston to Oaxaca. I flew from NYC and I had a layover in Dallas. The airport from the city center is about a 20-min drive. I took the collective bus with other people that were also going to the city center and the driver will drop you off at your address. It was only $100 MX pesos for one person. Highly recommend doing this!

[@charliemulligan1988]

[@amartinmontero]

stop gentrifying other countries, you are NOT bringing economic benefits to anyone, only displacing communities.

[@christophercobb249]

Question, though: is it in fact the case that there is no positive benefit at all to a local community from someone visiting a place and putting money into the local economy? I understand that some aspects of expat culture are very harmful, and gentrification is damaging in many ways. However, is there truly no benefit at all to someone visiting a place and spending money there? Are the travelers actually solely responsible for the gentrification? Obviously if the person is disrespectful and harmful, that's another story. But what if they are respectful, make an effort to speak the local language, etc.? I guess my other question would be: are you saying everyone should just stay home and never travel, ever? Would that really help anything? I'm genuinely curious to know why you have such a negative response and you think there are no possible benefits at all.

[@amartinmontero]

My question is what do you mean by local economy? hotels and airbnbs are usually owned by non-locals and when they are locals, they are the local elite, further exacerbating the income inequalities. I think it is about doing research of where to stay, how workers are treated, including the choice of restaurants. @@christophercobb249
