Tanji is adorable! What a interesting story! I cracked up when she mentioned her divorce and her face lit up... it was like "Freedom" !!!

Wow this was so interesting. I first went to PV almost 40 years ago. She is describing the way it was back then. Clearly avoid the super tourist spots! I'm sure there are spas that would happily charge 4 times as much for a manicure. I've been back to PV a couple of times and have started going further out of town (like an hour north) but it sounds like I can find the "old" PV if I just ask the right people.

Yes - the "old PV" is still in there. Just harder to find. And the areas to the north are changing too! And I think you are right. Many tourist places charge US prices, or just a little bit less, because tourists are willing to pay it!

Hi Brighton! It was so nice meeting you and Kat a couple weeks ago. Even though it wasn't in La Paz it sure felt like it was. You mentioned InDriver at the end of your video, do they have that in La Paz and if so how prevalent is it? Did you see that they are looking to add in-home services like plumbing to the app? Another great video. Tanji is living the dream! 🍹☀
@AlmostRetiredinMexico2 жыл бұрын
Nice meeting you too! They do have InDriver in La Paz. Ubers don't like going to El Centenario. InDriver is really the only choice. I got to the Uber app to get a price, then I offer a bit more on InDriver. Drivers can bid higher and you can choose what you are willing to pay. I didn't know about home services. I'll need to look into that! Thanks for letting me know!

@AlmostRetiredinMexico Жыл бұрын
Are you thinking about Puerto Vallarta, or any place in Mexico? PV is a great place to start. You could check AirBnb and see who's giving a discount for monthly rentals. Or you could Google Puerto Vallarta Vacation Rental and look for an agency. As to driving or flying, it probably depends on your lifestyle in Mexico. If you're a "city person" I'd fly in and leave my car in the US and just Uber in Mexico. But if you're a "go to the beach every day" person, you'll probably want a car to easily explore. Enjoy Mexico!

While still collecting alimony, she is able to make a video on how accomplished she is and how she deserves the lifestyle. Nice life if you can marry it.
