GENERAL TIPS + THINGS TO KNOW
✔️ We brought $200 USD in cash (approx. $4,000 Pesos) and had leftover
✔️ Most restaurants communicate through WhatsApp for resys
✔️ Nicer restaurants and popular museum tours are usually booked out months in advance so be sure to plan ahead
✔️ Uber is available everywhere, and it's really cheap!
✔️ Tip isn’t expected but the "gentrified" cafes, restaurants and bars will usually ask if you want to add tip
✔️ English isn't too common. People will straight up speak Spanish to you and hope you understand. 😂
✔️ Drink from bottled water only! Avoid ice in public, or always ask if the ice was made from filtered water.
✔️ Heavy traffic on weekends in the main areas. Walking within Juarez, Roma Norte and La Condesa is faster than car.
✔️ Mexico is still very Covid conscious so I wore a mask everywhere, indoors and out
PLACES I'D GO NEXT TIME
📍Panderia Rosetta
📍Casa Luis Barragan
📍Tokyo Music Bar
📍Palacio de Bellas Artes (Cathedral)
📍Grutas Tolantongo
📍San Cristóbal Mexico (where chefs get tacos)
📍Casa Gilardi (reservation only)
📍Casa Orgánica (temporarily closed)

CDMX is literally one of the best cities on this planet. I love being there even more than Berlin and NYC! Ugh I miss Mexico City so much TvT

[@mariamar2114]

Esperó regreses pronto!!!🥂👍🏻🤝🏻🇲🇽

[@Jose-ut5zu]

México it must be written with é so is México not Mexico

[@loon7181]

@@Jose-ut5zu not in english, there are no accents in English…

[@Jose-ut5zu]

@@loon7181 México is not an english name. The correct form goes é so is written México. Saludos

[@loon7181]

@@Jose-ut5zu dude what? Every country and many cities have their name in other languages. Just how you’d say Estados Unidos in spanish. “Mexico city” is in English, “Ciudad de México” is in spanish.

[@saidadabel8493]

Hola Freesia, just came back from CDMX and watched your video prior. Good thing you mentioned entrera as I couldn't get a rsvp for contremar it was so delicious, we had the fish empanadas, octopus tostatada, fish a la talla DUH and flan for dessert. Arrived less than hour before mi compa chava closes but worked my way with the manager since I was alone this time I secured a table, she helped me choose my dishes and had the best tacos ever, and their drinks are KILLER. Can't wait to go back :)

[@HS-yk9he]

Such nice vlog, simple and soothing. No joke, I am planning a second trip to Mexico early next year and I am making it a must to visit the seafood restaurant. The dishes looked superb! I could taste them through the screen haha.

[@jancarlson2165]

Oh I want to go!! Such a chill video.❤️

[@scorpsagaqua8642]

The editing for this one was INNNSANEEEE. Almost felt like watching a scene of a documentary/magazine visuals/travel guide :) I can tell you really enjoyed your time there and it’s making me want to venture out on traveling to more cultural places :) I just get nervous when I travel cus im so accustomed on eating Korean or Asian food haha any tips on people with sensitive stomachs when traveling?

[@scorpsagaqua8642]

P.s. the background music during the montage of the interior designs reminded me of Monsters Inc for some reason (in a good way)❤

[@ItsENENNN]

Freesia the color of ur vlog are so uniformed and beautiful. Really love the vibe. Would you make a video about how u color grade it?

[@maytesarmiento1896]

Hola Freesia, I dont know if you are gonna read this but I just wanted to say that it was great seeing you in México city wearing a mask. It might sound weird but a lot of american tourist that have been arriving during pandemic are being super disrespectful and acting like covid is gone. I know that in other countries is ok now ti not wear a mask but in México we still have to be careful about covid cuz we dont have the greatest medical resources that are needed. Hope you had a great trip, if you come back I recommend you to visit more places so you can appreciate better the city ;)

[@Eri_Chen]

Wowwww wanna ride hot air balloon too. It’s so fascinating from what you share. Good to see that you had a great time there. Thank you for sharing. Take care!

Do you mind sharing how much the hot air balloon ride was? Going at the end of the month to CDMX and your trip was my last deciding factor to go for it 😄

[@freesiapark]

mm i don’t remember the exact dollar amount but all info and links are in the description! ☺️

[@user-eb6wj5xm9p]

I know you brought $200USD, but approx how much did you put on cards?

[@joseizaguirre4887]

With $73. Dollars...compared with the super cheap y fruity motel (6) in ..LA........A DECENT HOTEL IN LA.....AROUND $250 AND UP....... BIG DIFERENCE...!

[@ansoncheung4508]

I loved the video but a minor feedback is that the vid was quite shaky in the beginning. But overall it was an amazing vid ❤️❤️

The quality of the video is just wholesome but ig there's an issue with the *image stabilization* so many of the times it's pretty shaky even though you're holding the camera pretty sturdily.

Great content and overall editing/style. Just a little feedback, sometimes the camera was super shaky, making it difficult to watch. Perhaps a gimbal or different camera with better stabilization would help!
