Great video. I like how professional you are in your presentation. I get tired of all of the sloppiness and immaturity of so many of these videos. Thank you.

[@jnusen]

Thank you. I'm looking for something far enough from the water that I'd not have to worry about flooding during rainy season. A water view from a higher elevation would be great. Where dogs don't roam wildly about barking constantly.. Where ExPats would help me feel more at home and offer advice. I have a limited budget, but could get along with rent and living expenses for about $1K a month. I've been watching KZbins and saw beautiful apts. it'd have to be safe for an older solo woman. Have I described somewhere that pops to mind? I can't ride a bike. I'd need public transportation, buses or cabs. Thank you for a lovely video. Justine in Connecticut.

This was awesome info, cheers Jeff! Currently researching for an upcoming trip - would you mind sharing what tour you went on for the Mezcal experience? Sounds right up my alley! Cheers

[@TravelwJeff]

Glad you liked it. I booked with Mezcal Education Tours - www.mezcaleducationaltours.com. Randell was our guide and prioritized offering us an authentic and informative experience. Have fun out there!

Great video! What Mezcal your your did you do specifically? What is the name? Thank you!

[@TravelwJeff]

Thanks! The palenques we visited were small batch producers; here's a few to check out: goo.gl/maps/k13adQNE62aCUwDq9 goo.gl/maps/UEMasf41HEz8M6Eo7 goo.gl/maps/N2NqT4UzxgoFTKwG7 (town where La Jicarita is based)

[@robinharmston2614]

I'm also wondering about the mezcal tour you took? None of these link to a tour @@TravelwJeff

[@Vade700]

Turn down the cookie cutter electronic music please

[@vickyrussell268]

Couple of suggestions. One, your background music is way too loud to concentrate on what you're actually saying. 2, why the hell are you wearing a mask?

[@salas241b]

Brooooo…just watched your video! You really need to learn how to say Huatulco correctly. I was cringing with your pronunciation of how you say Huatulco. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

[@lorig8307]

Waa-too-co. Cha-way
