Thank you for watching! It's been such a challenge to make this one, next video I'll tell you why. Don't forget to sign up at Nomadlist! geni.us/nomadlist

[@IsaacMedrano]

Followed your link and signed up to Nomadlist!

[@sergiosala]

Woo thank you! Enjoy the membership

[@danielnuthletics]

This was the best most thorough vlog. I liked how personable and calm you were, it was very authentic and not over produced. Just perfect.

[@brewtulum3056]

There is so much to discover and enjoy in Tulum and you covered A LOT of ground... Great job! Tulum is a most dynamic bohemian/Mexican/tropical escape, one that is always morphing and changing. You found a lot of great new projects to capture, offering new insight to a location that's covered often, but not always so thoroughly and diligently. We're thrilled we made the cut! Looking forward to sharing more coffee with you the next time you visit Sergio :)

[@sergiosala]

Thank you for showing the best coffee in town, guys!

[@milannorling]

I love how authentic your videos are and how comfortable people seem to be around you when you feature them in your videos

[@Xeneon341]

A few things that really stand out to me about your videos is its comprehensive/extensive feel. Combined with your great editing, it literally makes me feel the rhythm and cadence of the location. It brings out a lot of vibe and flavor that I think a 10 minute video would fail to capture. Great job, Sergio. You just got a new subscriber.

[@sergiosala]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@samsiesta8749]

This is the best travel video I have seen for Tulum. Very thorough and comprehensive. Thank you Sergio!

[@sergiosala]

Oh thanks for telling me this!

[@Modelscoutingwd]

You know man, there is something so soothing about you. Yoir chilled out voice, your activities, your appreciations for what, who, where you are is just so soothing. Bravo.

[@MagicCrateMako]

The most in depth video of Tulum ever. You nailed it! Just got back from there last night. Can’t wait to go back after seeing this video.

[@DigitalNomadLofi]

We love the people, culture, architecture, and beaches there. What an awesome place for Digital Nomad to live and work! So beautiful and speechless 😍👍

[@sergiosala]

Couldn't agree more!

[@benjamin_davis]

Always an enjoyable watch. Looking forward to where you end up next!

[@sergiosala]

Thanks Ben!

[@ChipyRose]

Sergio, I must say that I am quite impressed with your videos. They are jam-packed with excellent information and resources! I’ve been watching Tulum videos for over 2 weeks to help me prepare for an upcoming trip, yet none have been as thorough as your videos 👍🏽 thank you and keep up the great work!

[@sergiosala]

glad you liked them!

[@voilartdesign]

WOW Sergio, this was a fantastic trip seeing and feeling the vibe of Tulum, you were able to transmit in such a powerful yet relaxed way, wonderfully done!! It felt like being there myself!! I enjoyed every second and it was the most inspiring video I have seen so far regarding Tulum. Also the quality of the videos, crystal clear, just amazing. I am not a digital nomad, but with your interpretation I can inspire my grandchildren to show them how the way of living should be in their future (sustainable, organic and in balance with nature! I now HAVE to visit TULUM to experience in person and will share your video with all the people I know. I will certainly subscribe to your channel to follow you around the world!! Thank you so much

[@gbengaishere]

The level of detail in this video, and the delivery really set this apart from the rest

I have watched hours and hours of Tulum video content and yours is one of the best. Also, you mentioned some of my favorite restaurants in Tulum so I knew your recommendations were great. I will definitely try some of your recommendations. Thank you so much!

GREAT to see you back on YT. Thanks for sharing.

[@sergiosala]

I’m still here! just takes a lot of time creating these videos lol

[@JohnMillican]

@@sergiosala we can tell! The storytelling, production value and care you put in is always awesome!

[@BumSheep]

You make your videos seem so casual, like you are going from one restaurant to another and the beach, very organic but I bet its much harder than it looks. How long did it take you to even get the footage for this video? a month? you do more in this video than I do in a year living in my own city as far as going out to all these different places. I doubt life is that easy as a digital nomad as you portray it in your eye candy videos. Great marketing, I'll give you that!

[@crystalvb21]

I absolutely love your content! They are very informative and so detailed I took down many notes. Thank you so much!

Have fun in Tulum!

[@billyd647]

Absolutely beautifully shot and put together. Great video! It looks dreamy there…

[@sergiosala]

thanks! a bit dreamy for sure

[@pallu83]

Monumental video, so much information. I have been there 4 years ago, so much more stuff now! This place is evolving really quickly,! I can't stop thinking it will serve well as a very interesting documentary in a decade or more from now. BTW Sergio, you would never remember me, but I met you in 2018 at Loi Kratong in Chiang Mai. We had a large group dinner by the river (Rosanna organised it, as usual). Thanks for your great videos :)

Hi 👋🏼 new to your site, I love Tulum so much and I probably spent $3k + in just a few days staying there but it’s nice to see a different alternative than just staying in the expensive part of Town. Very nicely done ✅ thank you 🙏

[@k4ir0s]

Thanks for the videos Sergio. Always nice to see your first hand experiences traveling Mexico. You know how to spend your time well rather than just sitting at restaurants and beaches. I arrived in playa del carmen a week ago. I had an airbnb in a ghetto area far from downtown. My neighbors were locals who were poor. My windows had no glass, only bars so I heard everything. I had to leave because there was a lot of noise and parties, but what stood out for me was how care free and joyful the people there were even though they were poor. The little kids would always be singing in the courtyard, music would always be playing somewhere with door's opened all day, lots of siestas at night, lots of laughs. In a way, it was very beautiful. I moved to a hotel near downtown yesterday and it hurt me to see the contrasting difference between the poor local area and the tourist area. Left me feeling sad and puts things into perspective. I don't think I'll forget it.

[@alexp9996]

Such an amazing video thank you!

[@sheriwalters732]

I recently bought a condo in Tulum. Presale sight unseen. I’ve only driven through Tulum a few years ago to get to Coba. I’ve been doing a lot of research and watching videos about Tulum trying to figure it all out, to make sure I made a good investment. I have to tell you. This video on Tulum is BY FAR the most informative and best video I have seen. Great job and thank you so much! I’m really excited to go down there now and see everything you showed here.

[@sergiosala]

That’s cool. Enjoy the condo!

[@guikid135]

I’m also looking to buy a condo to Airbnb, how’s the market there?😊

[@aidensheffield6973]

14 years in LA was enough for me -- literally cringed watching this … all those fake farmers hats. Playa Del Carmen for the win. Great cinematography 🥰 , keep it up.

[@medline5140]

Wow, I just came across your channel because I am planning my 30th bday trip to Tulum. You mentioned a few places that I have saved on my end for places to visit while I am there. I am excited and a little nervous to visit Tulum because I haven't traveled out of the country in a long time since the pandemic. I am defiantly going to check out the Jungle Gym, Cenotes, Burrito Amor, explore Tulum Town, and visit the jungle party spot. haha This video was extremely helpful and insightful! Gracias from your new subscriber!

Happy bday!

Great video man, I went to Tulum just for one day and I only saw the ruins, the beach and walked a bit on the main street 😂 Didn't realize there was so much more to see.

[@sergiosala]

That's exactly why I wanted to make this video! So much to see and do

[@jeano5004]

Wow. Cool video. Appreciate that you featured everything in just 1 video. I live part time in Tulum and realized I still am missing a lot. If ever you come back it would be nice to meet and show you some spots still not in your video. Hubby is here full time. I’ll tell him to take you to a fishing trip if that is one thing you’re interested in. We were at the Sian Kaan reserve yesterday.

[@latinstuff1]

even though you have an accent and your english isn't native, the way you speak is super professional and very well put, like I said speaking natively has nothing to do with speaking adequately, so I admire your professionalism and everything about your video is top notch, love the recording style, its freaking awesome dude, keep it up, soon I will be a digital nomad as a web dev, and honestly your video is what inspired me to do so.

Crazy how even with really low expenses ($23 on groceries, $34 on the extortionist taxis, $120 going out, $340 on restaurants) you still spend $3400 in a month. Or $3000 if you subtract the scooter

[@Iloveapextwins]

I picking between places like Tulum, Cancún, Playa del Carmen, Singapore, bangcock, Buenos Aires, Barcelona, Manila but Tulum is defiantly at the top

[@Iloveapextwins]

I’m a traveller and a digital nomad but one day I plan to stay in one pa,de when my life is complete I’d that ever happens😂 but I’m picking between Tulum, Bali, Buenos Aires and playa

[@Iloveapextwins]

I have been to rio do Janeiro, Tokyo, Thailand, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, the maya rivera, Costa Rica, Isreal, Greece, Spain and the UAE but by far Mexico was one of my favourites especially Tulum just very expensive so it’s good to be financially secure there Tulum is especially the most expensive in the maya rivera competing with Cancún but it is what to expect un a growing tourist and luxury area

[@Iloveapextwins]

My top 3 in my opinion favourite places for a digital domad or entrepreneur was Bali, Tulum and Singapore

[@TobyNomad]

I can't wait for the cliffhanger to find out why this one was so hard to make! Subscribing NOW. I'm bummed that I didn't know you were in the area as I am now in PDC living as a DN. Would have 100% taken you out to Cueva Del Chango or even hopped down to T town to see you :) Love your well-organized, well done videos. I'm doing something similar but nowhere near the cohesion yet haha. The crazy thing is we have some serious overlap. You are the ONLY one who has also lived in Toledo, OH as a DN. I insist that we meet someday, haha, and whereever that is it's on me!!

[@shaunrichards6294]

I've travelled to Mexico a lot, to all of the places that you've highlighted in your videos. Out of all the people who vlog about Mexico, your videos are the best, by far. So rich and detailed. They really offer a sense of what it is like to stay in these places for a month or two, as opposed to be a passing tourist, jumping from place to place.
