[@nathanieldrew]

Other reasons for why I'm moving to Mexico that I didn't mention in the video: I have always had an affinity for Mexican culture, I love how hard-working and warm Mexican people are. Also it's still the same continent as my family and the cost of living is a lot lower. Beyond that, I just picked Mexico because of a feeling.

[@zurielbaxcajay2559]

Hope you enjoy living in Mexico. Just say you should try Atole that’s one of my favorite drink on cold days

[@Gazzapa57]

A feeling is probably the best reason to do it.

Good luck and be safe ! I’m Mexican try all Moles they are all different ! And watch your weight haha.

I'm Mexican from Mexico City. Not living currently in that city but if you need information don't hesitate to ask me.

[@verenicerodriguez5398]

Alejandro Déctor I was born in the US and my parents are from Aguascalientes and Guadalajara. I’ve really started to not like living in the US due to a lot of political and social pressures and the “need to grind” and constantly get money and success and things like that. The pace of life is too fast here. I’ve been thinking about moving to Mexico after graduating high school next month but my parents keep telling me I would be better off here. My main reasons are because it seems like the values and priorities in Mexico are very different (and better), and I’d like to perfect my Spanish (even though i’m fluent) and understand where I come from more while also living a different way of life. In your opinion, would it be a bad idea? In Mexico City, would it be hard for me to get a decent paying job with just a high school diploma while also being very fluent in English? Overall, would it be a hard transition? Anything/any information would be great!

[@siempremusical]

Verenice Rodriguez Look for me in Instagram.

[@itxy4283]

Verenice Rodriguez In my personal opinion if you want to get a high paid job in Mexico you should get a degree in the US. Nothing too fancy just something that shows that you have the motivation and you’ve put the effort into learning something after finishing your mandatory education. My dad told me to get a degree and I could go to Mexico and work in places where they need English. Such as schools and airports. Again it’s only my opinion.

[@fernandaroger7589]

@@itxy4283 is not necessary to get a degree in the US, you can get one in Mexican schools like Politécnico or UNAM. I'm about to finish my junior high school in Politécnico and enter to UNAM. You can also learn English or any other languages by taking extra courses. To get well paid in México you just need a good curriculum, a good interview and look and approach the opportunities.

[@pablosesaid5830]

@@fernandaroger7589 the classes in Mexico are better in teaching than. The u.s I think.I know people who know more than me and I studied with good students in the u.s and as long as you show skills it doesn't matter where you studied.

[@laurynrickman7398]

I do greatly believe that success will come to you. Your content is excellent and I will definitely be an avid watcher of your videos. Regardless of any outcome you've at least given me an immense amount of motivation I needed to continue on my own somewhat "non-traditional" journey, so thank you!

[@kpacubo.]

wow just turned 20 this year. it's inspiring seeing all these people around the world who do this because where I'm from not a lot of people are into this idea of exploring and expanding the self and acquiring new experiences. living in another country is not a realistic option for me now but i do want to be able to do this in the near future. i guess I'm writing this to say thank you for the boost of inspiration and energy today. power to all the explorers of the world ✊

Are you happy? do you love it? My friend is Mexican from immigrants that landed him his b-day in the states. He was very intent on moving to Mexico, and spent a year going back and forth - even securing a place to live. He's was motivated mostly for financial (he's now in his 70's) reasons and sought to eliminate many stateside concerns regarding growing older. He's a writer, musician, actor, crazy dancer and singer. I hoped he'd change his mind but that's not why he did. I'm impressed with your bravery and open positive attitude! An attitude which I also consider loving. I'll certainly be looking forward to your upcoming posts. Yay you!!!

The way you talked about the experience, an opportunity to learn and grow by yourself rather than it being a success or a failure, is really positive and realistic at the same time!
