lost our baggage & our marbles this week 😅🌴

[@Michelle8mybelle]

As a mexican viewer and follower of yours, this news feels somewhat sad and demotivating, since in Mexico we are fighting so bad with peopleification, the extreme and ridiculous rise in prices and displacement from our homes by tourists and foreigners who are appropriating all the beautiful places in the country, when for us as locals, it is absolutely impossible even daring to dream of buying a property in the city, much less in the beautiful beaches because of this social phenomenon. :(

[@sarahforeverandever6293]

This is an interesting situation because the same thing has happened to British Columbia (where Allana is from) due to mass immigration and tourism.

[@sanyalakhani4765]

I feel you. I'm pretty disappointed by this as well. There are better ways for tourists to explore countries that don't displace the locals in the area or make them rely on tourists for their income..

[@kimalles4625]

@@sarahforeverandever6293 It definitely is a huge problem in BC as well but not a problem for Allana, she owns a home in BC with enough leftover income to purchase additional properties overseas. Obviously, being affluent is not a crime but just pointing out that she is not being pushed out of BC because of housing costs and feeling forced to purchase in a cheaper country.

DEFINITELY a dishwasher lol. CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🎉🎉

[@allanaramaa]

[@maryrodriguez6981]

Almost no one in México uses dishwashers

[@angiejacobsrs]

It saves $$$ by using less water

[@VeronicaTorruco]

This feels rather sad. One one hand, I understand wanting to be able to own property in a beautiful place like Tulum but on the other, Mexico is struggling with the boom of tourists and nomads, pricing out locals with Airbnbs. I'd encourage you to find ways to ensure you are contributing to the community (and no, I don't just mean by being a tourist and spending money) to at least try to offset the negative implications of your part-time residency in Tulum.

[@Michelle8mybelle]

Thank you for bringing it up!! It's terrifying how many foreing people in the comments are talking about their profits and gains with their properties here in Mexico while we're being pushed out of our lands 'cause we just can't afford it anymore, every beautiful place is becoming a tourists only place

[@alliesyn]

I was born and raised in a beach town. Because of all the rich people and developers moving in nobody can afford to live there. Now my child can’t grow up where I did. It’s heartbreaking. Even apartments where I’m from are like 3k-4k a month. So sad. But I guess things change. Places advance. 😢

[@danitadawn]

I feel like buying a home is becoming an issue world wide. As a Canadian, the pricing of houses here is INSANE. Homes in provinces like Ontario and British Columbia are wildly inflated and Alberta is becoming the same. Happy for them but also wish that it would be more easy for someone in their home country / province / etc to buy a home and live comfortably without foreign investors raking up the prices for locals.

[@lilianaferreira8206]

This is happening in Portugal as well!! Particularly in madeira island.

I've been following you for I don't even know how many years at this point and I don't often comment but I just wanted to say how much you inspire me in everything you do and how much I admire your personality, the relationship you and Dan have, your honesty and the fact that you're an overall amazing human! I also love Tulum and it brought me such joy seeing the loft, it looks beautiful! Sending you love from Brazil ❤

[@chelseaw9355]

Thanks for showing us the reality of Tulum! Like the supermarket and the streets. Congratulations!

you are a true sunshine person, everytime you open the blinds in Canada you are talking about the (missing) sun, so i am sooo happy for you! Right move, true selfcare right there

[@Nicolee1973]

Love the loft! It is so nice! I can’t believe the amount of construction happening in Tulum… crazy! My husband and I usually stay in Akamai right on the beach. One year we saw turtles laying eggs on 2 different nights. What an experience! And I usually watch the sun come up every morning, staying on the beach definitely has its perks! So happy for you two that you have bought something down there, great investment! 😊❤

[@mmp58rr]

Hi, Mexican here! I agree with the other mexican comments, sadly, your passive income is costing us the hability to afford housing ): A lot of activists and colectives are literally fighting right now against real state cartels (yes, they're criminals and extremely corrupt) to stop this type of activity since it's increasing in an insane way the cost of living for locals. Please, try to stay informed on this issue and maybe re-evaluate the way you go through this. I know you don't mean to be part of something that might hurt locals, but the fact is that it is.. It's really a big issue now. ):

[@kt9495]

We have real estate cartels here in the US. They’re called Black Rock, State Street, and Vanguard. They’ve captured politicians and have too much power. Killing small businesses along the way and buying up property to turn around and rent it out or flip it a a higher price. The only way to fix this is with your voting power. Here in the states my vote goes to RFK Jr. He’s the only one talking about the issue. It is a complex one.

[@alessiacosta8621]

Tourism really is new colonialism. Everything is sold out or privatised, from beaches to houses, to cater to rich North Americans who expect the same lifestyle they would have in their own country (white omelettes included). I just hope this never happens to my country 😢

[@DeborahCarlston]

Congratulations! I’m happy for you two.

[@kuzmanator]

So happy for you guys! Seems like an amazing investment both in yourselves and for your future. ❤️ My bf and I went to Tulum last year and a big part of the reason was seeing your trips along with friend recommendations. Every person who I’ve seen complain about the area is someone who clearly hasn’t done their research and expected a destination like Cancun etc. We loved the simplicity, the beauty, and the kindness of the people. We stayed at the Kimpton Aluna in Aldea Zama and absolutely loved it.

[@nonilady1577]

Congrats on your vacation home!!! I’ve always loved Tulum. Quick flight from Texas. So glad they’re getting an airport! I’m so excited for y’all!!! Lovely place

[@allanaramaa]

Ahhhh yes the direct flights so soon!! Imma cry 😂 ❤❤

[@HannahBMann]

Lost/delayed luggage is my worst travel nightmare, but there are lessons to be learned in that situation...making many notes to self as I watch. You dropped the news and as much as you adore Tulum, this is wonderful! Plus the new place is looks very inviting. Re: fridge vs dishwasher--dining out seems to be the vibe there, of course it's up to you, but I'm thinking fridge. xo

[@Sneakylass]

omg, the loft is soooo beautiful! How cool you two get to own a place somewhere you love. Goals!!!

[@fernandaaa23]

Allana it’s so cool that you got a place in Tulum - I live there and been following you for a few years- maybe will cross paths. But if you need anything while you’re there - like we say: Mi casa es tu casa. Congratulations on the new place! Check out La veleta next time- for restaurants in town.

[@lifeoflaceyjanette]

The way you are the most sweet and humble about this huge milestone! I don’t consume a ton of KZbin beauty and style girlies because as a mom of 2 smalls who is barely getting by sometimes, watching the glut of excess can be hard to swallow. But you’ve always been so normal and humble and real and fun and will forever be my comfort influencer because of that (also, if you guys do decide to have kids I cannot wait for that content because I assume it will also be the most real 😅) Congrats, lil mama!

[@biancasmall1477]

Love this! Congrats 🎉 please keep us informed on when you will list it.

[@BrittanyElizabethh]

Congratulations you guys! The loft is beautiful! ❤❤ so happy for you guys!

[@superjules21]

The real Tulum is not shown on instagram and the roads are horrible as you said. The taxis and the police are not your friends. And its not that nice as you see on Instagram. Its very expensive at the restaurants and clubs and as you also said the beachclubs are closing off the beach so there are not many public beaches and the beachclubs are so expensive and insane. You need a nice hotel there to enjoy it i would say ( i was there last year) going to the beach everyday like other places is not really possible.

[@despinababi2318]

I love the realistic aspect of travelling to certain places. It's the same with Costa Rica, in my opinion, and so many other places. And really nobody talks about it. It's not all glamour. I am really happy for you guys and please know your videos are the best thing on the internet

[@ivonneparrabeauty]

Omg!!! Congratulations! I’m soooo happy for you guys, you really deserve it, I’ve been following since like 2017 and I know how hard you work and how much passion and love you put into this. You’re one of the few beauty creators that have remained true to themselves since the very beginning and I love you so much! I live in Mexico and we usually go to the Riviera Maya, love it there, but can’t wait when you finally open “La Casaramma” for Airbnb so we can stay there! That would be awesome, I think that would be the closest I’ll ever get to you 😅 Love you so much!

My in-laws live in Akumal, down the road from Talum. They live there 6 mo a year. There is also a Costco not far from you. One tip on your new place, everything corrodes near sea water, keep it minimal, and plan to replace everything every couple of years.

[@devonlord85]

Felicidades to you and Dejan! 🎉🇲🇽 For taxis- I recommended having cash ready and telling the driver “this is all I have” (After a while you guys will be accustomed to the rates and will know the decent fares) and/or just catch another taxi if one is inflating the prices. Also, the drivers tend to have their price cards that show the time table rates. P.S. El Tren Maya is almost finished being built which will be convenient for traveling to other major cities!

Ouch that sucks not having your bags! I'd die! This is why even on the longest flights my husband and I only bring carry ons. We've become masters at fitting everything in 2 small cases.

[@baldovinosm1]

Lmao I’m so sorry I’m commenting again, but CONGRATS! The vacation home doubling as passive income is so nice. I have noticed that almost 75% of our Airbnb/Vrbo/Expedia guests actually are citizens of Mexico traveling to different parts of the country. Most homes or apartments in Mexico don’t have dishwashers so it may actually make more sense to invest in a beverage cooler since I don’t think most clientele would use the dishwasher. In addition to the AC units, the dishwasher is another appliance to maintain. I imagine there isn’t an electricity line for a dryer to go in the unit as well? We had to opt for stackable units, but the dryer saves us when we visit and for guests/housekeeping to avoid going to laundromats. We’ve also noticed that a good chunk of our guests are working remotely so I’m not sure if you and Dejan would want to invest in a monitor and HDMI cable for people to plug into in the vanity area - we did and it’s been great for when we go there and for guests. Our house is in Cancun, so it is different than Tulum, but I’m excited for you both AND take it all with a grain of salt. 😅
