I really liked this episode, no gym needed on these towns

[@EatBailaTravel]

Nope and the food is so organic it has another taste.

Great video! Thinking of going and trying the mushrooms 😛

Nice little town. That trek to the Mirador was something, so high! The views were beautiful and the swing looked really fun.

[@EatBailaTravel]

If we ever decide to live in Puerto Escondido then visiting these towns in the mountains will for sure be our weekend trips they’re so beautiful

Hi enjoy watching your videos, you two are very informative on the locations you stay and what’s around to do and eat, thank you. 👍🏼😊😊❤️

[@EatBailaTravel]

Glad you enjoy our videos, Ana! 😊 😊 saludos

[@SorgiStories]

Love that you’re taking time to get it right. Discerning. Usually, people relocate for a job, so the job market makes the choice a split second decision like we had. You can take time. Get it right. Know what you want and find your niche. Those vistas in the hills. The vibrant blue skies. Wow. And hope you didn’t have to climb those hills again to get to your accommodations! Books > movies. That suspension bridge…😮 The zip line feels safer! “Take it easy.” Huge good advice. Listen to your own…LOL! You really earned your meal. Shrooms! 🍄

[@EatBailaTravel]

We are very grateful to have the opportunity search for a home. San Mateo might not be home but having it as an option to escape the city life in Puerto would be awesome! How's life in Philly? looking forward to some baseball games?

[@EatBailaTravel]

Thanks for watching, we have a ton of time lapses from this trip and used some of them we were hoping it wasn't an overload of them! Have you guys been to San Mateo?

[@PlanFree]

@@EatBailaTravel It's just such a cool place for time lapses right!? With the sweeping views and the clouds moving in and out create excellent visual drama. San Mateo was originally in our sights, but last minute we treated ourselves to a private cabin with fireplace 5 minutes walk to San Jose Del Pacifico. Expensive (for MX, but worth it for us.) The next time we go up, we will see San Mateo for sure, we want to see/experience it in rainy season.

[@KattieMetChris]

[@Vancouver_Dan]

Beautiful! I love that time lapse shot at 7:00! As much as I like the beach, I love being in the mountains! (Some of the shots reminded me of our local mountains here in British Columbia). Thanks for featuring San Mateo - it is nice to see different options in the mountains. I have flown over - the most scenic flight was Tucan Air from Oaxaca - one day I hope to visit.

[@EatBailaTravel]

Hi Dan glad you enjoyed our video the mountains are beautiful and it was a good way to escape Puerto Escondido after our busy time there. The only issue for us was adjusting to the cold weather. We love our hot and humid climate the drastic change was a little rough. Nothing that hot tea and warm blankets could fix. Saludos

[@anli9730]

Have you two done a video on how you stay in shape while travelling? Also, I can't remember which video it was but Jenny, you mentioned a Mexican mascara and it made me curious about Mexican beauty products and beauty secrets! Esp more natural/holistic side!

[@StephenandAndie]

Yeah, we remember your "Merida days." It seemed like that was gonna be the spot, but I love that you guys are wide open to fully exploring ALL options before deciding. Which, it'd be crazy not to! Whoo, that swinging bridge looks a little dodgy, especially while trying to film with one hand. "Why are we hiking?" 🤣 Hey, that sign looks like a nod to the Hollywood sign! Everything about this place looks so beautiful. We'd do ALL of this!

[@EatBailaTravel]

Yes! We are open to everything and exploring those options has been beautiful. We are headed back to Merida soon so we are getting ready to take the heat!!!!Saludos guys waiting for your upcoming videos!

¡Buenos días, Jenny and Kevin! Los saluda Pepe. :-) It's great to connect with you two again! Jorge and I are approaching four months since we moved to Querétaro. We are finally feeling settled in and look forward to getting to know more of "Q" City and the Sierra Gorda ... as well as towns not far from our home in Zibatá, like Amealco and Huimilpan -- both are enchanting places! I enjoyed this video! You guys put a smile on my face. :-) Jorge and I visited Oaxaca City in October of 2020 and really liked it. We have also been to Huatulco and Pluma Hidalgo, a beautiful little town up in the mountains (about an hour and a half from Huatulco) where coffee is grown. Cuídense mucho, y sigan echándole ganas. A big ol' Texan hug to you both! Pepe (Joseph Quillian ... but in English I go more by Jody than Joseph ... and in Spanish, ¡"Pos", soy Pepe!) :-) :-)

[@EatBailaTravel]

Hi Pepe! Oh my god we can't believe how fast time has passed! We remember the countdown in its final days because we were leaving Queretaro and you were almost arriving. We are so happy that you have settled and things are starting to come along for you! How was the recovery of your surgery? We have so much to catch up on! Next time we are in Queretaro we will definitely try to reach out for lunch or coffee. Saludos y abrazos!

[@joshuaarcona7579]

100% correct, in a magical place like the mountains there's nothing better than enjoying the views! I love how crystal clear everything is and how vibrant all the colors are at elevation. Great video guys! You mentioned you were excited to live in Merida, just curious what made you change your mind. Great video like always!

[@EatBailaTravel]

You're right we were super excited about Merida and while it's still one of our favorite cities in Mexico, we decided it wouldn't be the best fit for the reasons 1. Rising cost of living and 2. extreme heat. Cost of living is going up everywhere I know, but the main issue here for us was real estate was so inflated we wouldn't be able to afford buying and the heat made it difficult to enjoy outdoors during the day time... and with traveling we've discovered more livable cities that may have what we're looking for 🙂

[@charleyu5506]

I feel like you guys missed a big opportunity to interview a local about the magic mushroom ceremonies, most of the videos out there are non bilingual people who don't understand the importance. There are even catholic churches in oaxaca who accept the practice of the magic mushroom ceremony within the church. Unfortunately for a lot of people in the US and Mexico there is still a negative stigma associated with them. I highly recommend the experience and they are definitely right about the intention behind wanting to use them.

[@EatBailaTravel]

We would have loved make a Vlog like that but it wasn’t mushroom season so there weren’t any of those activities going on during that time. We will back for mushroom season hopefully this year and be able do as you advised we love to make vlogs like that.

[@charleyu5506]

@@EatBailaTravel It would be cool to see even if you guys aren't totally comfortable partaking in it. And thank you guys for getting out there and making the videos I feel like youtube could really use the Mexican American perspective of Mexico to connect both cultures.

How did you find the listing for accommodations? on airbnb? I’ll be in Oaxaca in a couple days and I want to make a trip but don’t know how to reserve a room 😮

[@EatBailaTravel]

Yep, we looked on AirBnB. You can also try Booking.com.

[@cardiff1823]

You are city folk. No wonder you are dreaming of Merida. It's not Chicago but more so than Puerto Escondido. I was curious about demographics and gentrification in Mexico and I did see a study that showed that the expat population in San Miguel de Allende was much more highly educated than other popular spots. But you guys are young so I don't know. Anyway I wish you all the best. Stay safe.
