why we left guadalajara

[@TangerineTravels]

What should we do next in the Lake Chapala area?

[@rafaelespinosa18]

Old train station

[@evankishpaugh6357]

Go to the island by mezcla

[@myagenthouston]

can you make a video of the hiking in Ajijic? is there a trail that takes you to the top of the mountain from the plaza?

[@myagenthouston]

can you make a video about the nighlife in Ajijic? is there any club that is open after 10 pm?

[@marthalomeli5406]

Lago de camecuaro, Tapalpa or mazamitla

[@MsLanny9]

Please continue to show us that Mexico is not only beautiful but safe there is no place on earth that is safe no country, city, state, county don't like what someone else says paralyze you from exploring other cultures, expanding your circle of associates and knowledge the world is full of Awesome surprises We love the the view you present Tangerine Travels

[@TangerineTravels]

We'd love to do our FIRST live video soon for you guys! We'll post an update in the "Community" section of our channel once we figure out the software and internet situation. :)

[@willsirotak]

We also sometimes foster & feed street dogs when we can, since moving to Mexico almost two years ago. We decided to build a home on the outskirts of San Miguel de Allende.

[@juangasca4983]

Thank you for feeding the dogs that's really nice of you guys 🐶🐶🐶🐕🐕

[@evankishpaugh6357]

The lake is not that bad. Our kids swim in it often. I have swam in it with them. It is a shallow lake full of sediment and plants and algae so it does not look good. But birds come here, fish live here, it is rebounding.

[@b33rmun29]

Lovely footage of the malecon, and so brave to just get on a bus and go with the flow. Love the humor !

[@Mars_1357]

I think the woman in time 5:14 said that she has been making that kind of crafts for 60 years(now she is 80 years old). She didn't say that it took her 60 years to learn how to make the handicraft. :) Vendedor for men, vendedora for women. :)

[@sltpue]

Thanks to feed those poor dogs god bless you.

[@pattyduran1525]

Los Angeles yeah that was nice of them but could have caused a food fight with that many dogs, all it would take for one of the dogs to be food aggressive then all hell would brake loose. Not a good idea

[@Newlinjim]

Patty Duran my thought as well. I know it’s the kind thing to do but if it goes sideways you created a world of shit and can’t do much to stop it safely.

[@Olawalium]

Wow! Seeing that 80 year old woman and how good she is with what she does is really great. I really hope she gets greater value for that amount of time amd effort she puts in. Really cool. God bless your hearts. I love dogs and thanks for feeding them. I wanna see Laskaaaaaaa too

[@TangerineTravels]

We need to bring Laska back in some future videos! Also you are so right... we couldn't believe how much work it takes to make one of those things. She deserves every peso for all that time. :) Can't resist feeding the street dogs.. they all looked so hungry!

[@karlapatterson9633]

Try visiting the Lake Chapala Society for information on the current state of the lake.

[@TangerineTravels]

Which is the MOST AWESOME: Maddie's new dress, the 80 year-old-lady working her craft, or bottomless margaritas?

[@joanlynch5271]

Tangerine Travels they all sound pretty good too. Is there a farming region there, maybe they have techilla or something?

[@07sadida]

1st dress 2nd margaritas 3rd dress

[@jaimevazquez8337]

Maddies drees!😊 my wife love it😊😊

[@qualqui]

Maddie's new dress! :) Bottomless margaritas(all you can drink for the price of 1, 2nd! Hic....hic....;)

[@dawnsmoke2586]

even tho you look cute in that dress it's the 80 year old elder with her sweet smile that got my attention...and as for lake chapala s .. i'd say the work has been good on cleaning over the years and it doesn't smell like it once did but not pristine...water hyacinth is a problem and folks were talking about opting for chemical spraying and lets hope clearer minds prevailed...the locals let their kids play in the water now and eat the fish, i'd watch just how much local fish is consumed until i got a study based on truth and not the tourist dollar..i'd like to see a chemical analysis before trusting ..particularly mercury levels..blame was put on farming alot but factory and corporate run-offs i think had more to do with it..then there were the low levels that the lake went through and all i could find was a note about Guadalajara and it's water needs having something to do with it... interesting fact..Lake Chapala is considered a Sacred Lake going back at least a thousand years..heard that even today there are those who practice ceremony there... so yes, trying to find out all i can about the condition of this beautiful lake, looking into everything about the lake if anyone can enlighten us sure would appreciate it..water is sacred.

[@daviddeveau5101]

I have been watching your videos for a few months and they are very fun and full of your happy, joyful energy. And, of course, tons of useful information. You two and your videos are fab.

[@joleenmichaelrechkemmer1972]

We spent the first four months of 2018 in Ajijic and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Like you, we drove down (from Chicago) and had an awesome drive crossing at Colombia (Laredo) passing through Saltillo - San Luis Potosi - Guadalajara then to Ajijic. We're retired Gringos nearing 70 and never once felt unsafe the entire 5,000 mile round trip and 4 month stay. I think you guys would love the tacos (especially the shrimp) at Lake Tacos - turn left at the Walmart intersection and it's behind the Pemex after you pass the mall. You will see lots of smoke across the road from a vendor selling grilled chicken - best chicken in the area and makes for a fast meal when you get back home. Adelitas restaurant in Riberas has a beautiful courtyard with great food and you guys will love the Tuesday organic market west of Ajijic near the cemetery. Keep up your great videos!

[@martyndayton]

Awwww, feeding the stray dogs was so touching....you guys are awesome!

[@lindacianchetti3599]

Your viewers seriously appreciate your honesty and courage to say precisely what IS! Thank you!😚

[@lcwilliams7140]

I simply love the energy and content of Tangerine Travels! I’m a Nana and looking at retiring to the Lake Chapala area. I watch a couple other sites about the area already, including Jerry Brown Travels. I like the idea of having the resources of Ajijic available but think I might enjoy some place further off the Expat track. I’ve seen an area called Mazamitla that seems more in a forested environment. If you get a chance, I’d love for you guys to visit and give your first-hand impression. Is it too far removed? I realize that when I’m drooling in my jello I’ll have to check into one of the great assisted living places the area has to offer. But I am looking for that step right before that event. Loved your take on Chapala. Love Nana on a fixed income!

[@TangerineTravels]

Thank you so much for the lovely compliments, LC! We have been to Mazamitla once, but would love to go back again and stay in a cabin for a few days. If you search “Mazamitla Tangerine Travels” you’ll probably find our video there. We loved it! Very cute town. And yes, much more foresty. 😄🌲🐿

[@billcooper3639]

Love your video channel. Very interesting and informative. Ajijic is one of the best places in Mexico. Elevation is the same as Denver and it is on the same latitude as Hawaii. Truly one of the best climates on Earth and close to Guadalajara as well as Puerto Vallarta. I personally think you two Tangerinies should settle down in Ajijic and use it as your base of operations. Top-notch video as always. Thank you both.

[@stonekold2196]

Just got back the other day from la Cruz de huanacaxtle and Bucerias it was so awesome to see all my friends. We go every year since 1991 and try to go further up and down the coast each year to explore all the small towns. This year we made it to sayulita which was a nice town. Will be back next August to do more exploring and to shop around for a house in Bucerias for retirement. Keep up the great work on your channel makes me home sick for my second home.

[@TangerineTravels]

Sounds like an amazing trip! We're jealous of that :) Friends, beaches, explorations...the BEST! Hope you get to do more traveling here!

[@mrs.v2978]

I told you guys my step dad was from Chapala and you guys showed me sites I never got to see with him. I can only hope I go someday. Thanks for all the travels you share with us. 💖

[@TangerineTravels]

We hope you do as well! 😍 Glad we could show you some new things Veronica!

[@Renton0]

I like how you guys are trying to be informative @ 10:00 and there's 4 dudes in the back drinking beer ,laughing and having fun. And yea, you get used to the Public transportation. They have the locations on the windshield to what colonias they stop at. Cool video again. :)

[@esietecartas4553]

You guys are so cute! i love seeing Mexico through your eyes. Your Spanish is so good too! (it's malecón btw)

[@raulingui47]

I love how you guys are so kind with the street dogs

[@TeleTubby9]

I live in rainy Washington state and day dream about retiring in Mexico. You two are fun and entertaining to watch and the info you share is informative. I can vicariously share the experience with you. Your channel is just what I was looking for.

[@karencalkins6982]

Love following you two! I can tell that you love each other. You do a great job showing us Mexico. It has to be romantic visiting the beautiful places together along with the excitement of travel. Great job!

[@Tapatio2011]

Guys you need go to Jocotepec’s Malecón is beautiful too. This place is 15 minutes from Ajijic

[@MrMhoch]

Hey guys it was nice bumping into you twice. Seeing you walk down that same street we walked keeps bringing back memories. Keep up the good work.

[@lauraarbuckle6119]

I love hearing about the clothes and other products you can buy in the nercadis

[@AndyX1337]

I learn a lot about Good old Mexico with you videos, thank you!!

[@Itsnotaboutbeingperfect]

We did that one time when we were in Mexico. Jumped on a bus and just rode with no real destination in mind. We heard that the bus route was just a loop but I really don’t remember where we got off at

[@Crafter1111-o8h]

I think you both speak excellent Spanish 👍

[@davlor86]

that's what i was gonna say, they speak so well and they haven't been even a year in Mexico yet, i guess they have ability to learn other languages easily

[@mbrit473]

Look for some info about los altos de jalisco... you will find some gorgeous places ... this are tiny cities or pueblos magicos.. these area of los altos jalisco is really traditional.. omg you will find another side from mexico.. to be honest you guys will take time to discover all pretty sides of mexico even me as mexican I'hasn't discovered them all..lol... visit los altos de jalisco please....u will love it.........Vengan..!!

[@southernmom7906]

I just love following you guy's...while the American media trys to tell us how unsafe Mexico is...you guy's squash the msm liers ... peace

[@lunastrat]

Right wing media in the US is trying to paint Mexico as a hostile nation.

[@lindacianchetti3599]

Dan Luna you mean LEFT WING MEDIA. DON'T YOU?! LEFT HAS SUCH A N A Z I. agenda.

[@beachfront8194]

I was there last year and love it.

[@clandestinofronterasvalema4354]

I traveled to Nogales, 7 hrs inland...from there, El Paso...Tijuana...and the only time that I felt unsafe when interacting with government officials . Thank you for sharing. We love you documentaries. Gracias y mil bendiciones

[@Olawalium]

You guys are doing it again; making me fall in love with Ajijic. I really love Guadalajara and i am really enjoying the views on Ajijic too. This is really a cool place too. I hope the people are nice.

[@TangerineTravels]

The people are SO nice here... just as nice as Guadalajara, maybe even more friendly too. :) Glad you're enjoying our videos in a new place.

[@franziagirl]

I really like your work! I love Mexico is so great !!! Come on people it’s safe!!!

[@melissaplascencia2733]

I have been there many times I loooove it n all the towns near by q lindo tu espanol Maddie.

[@el_chavez]

Great video! I really enjoy when you interview the locals.

[@rezinrussell1689]

Very enjoyable video, one of their best. Good variety of activities. I particularly enjoyed the bus rides. We often spend time in Merida in the winter to escape Chicago's brutal weather. We have stopped renting a car because driving in Merida can be quite stressful. Being larger than Merida, I imagine driving in Guadalajara is even more difficult. We rent places in Merida's centro where everything is compact. We walk and take buses everywhere. At eight pesos, taking a bus is a great bargain. I also enjoyed the shopping for produce in the market. Posting Mexican/U.S. prices is interesting and helpful.

[@timpulford48]

I love that you bought the dogs dog food!!

[@neptunesnymph]

Very good Spanish you guys! I love to watch your videos, as you show how beautiful and charming our beautiful Mexican country is. Wishing y'all the best of the best, lo mejor de lo mejor siempre desde Garland, Tx.✨

[@edmarquez4596]

Vayan a conocer la isla de Mezcala, se encuentra en el mismo lago de Chapala. En esa isla hay construcción antigua y una vez llegando a Mezcala, hay personas que se dedican a llevar a la isla👍

[@mrsclaussews]

Maddie couldn't eat it, but there is a small shop on that street that runs from the bus stop to the malecon that has the best churros ever.

[@ccoolstuff1]

I know it's 3 years later but San Juan Cosola and monte Coxala are magical and magnificent

[@SillyLion]

That blue dress, shirt or whatever, looks very good on Maddie! 😍 There's only one way to know the toxicity levels of the lake... Jordan get in there! 😄

[@TangerineTravels]

Mike - is there a link for that online? SillyLion - no way! We don’t BOTH need to be toxic if there’s anything in there. No way I’m letting Jordan do that

[@miguel-h]

I found this online www.focusonmexico.com/?download_id=b360f71ebe510cb16d8928a48be571a9

[@dawnsmoke2586]

Thanks Miguel ... best thing I've read on the Lake..2018 ... not pristine but not dangerous and ongoing work being done...fish edible.. everyone should read this report and come to their own conclusions ..

[@lauraarbuckle6119]

Awww feeding the dogs.

[@chaser29mty2009]

that is a good life, a good life here in Mexico :)

[@fernandocervantes1603]

Gracias amigos

[@Malomigo]

I highly recommend you to visit the two little islands in the lake especially "La isla del presidio" wich is a little far from chpala in a town called Mezcala there you can get a boat to get there, this island has a lot of history was a fort during the spain colonization and after that was a jail for many years.

[@TangerineTravels]

Thanks for the recommendation! We'd love to take a boat ride soon :)

[@manuneze]

Guys... There's an app for that. Moovit. It will tell you where to get on, where to get off, how many buses you have to take, the route numbers... Everything you need to know to move around on public transportation

[@TxMx214]

There is an option for live video-Facebook Live but I don’t know if it would work for you guys or if you even have a Facebook fan page. Live on instagram could also work but also requires a fan page.

[@Vill-qh5rh]

U guys rock I really enjoy these videos y'all are so cool thank u two so much hat's off and much respect 💃🕺😂👍👍👍

[@billieelliott9317]

I’m addicted to watching you guys for months now. In fact just today put my house on the market and will probably be moving to Ajijic in the spring! What is your favorite city In Mexico for a couple and their dog to live?

[@tourguide6910]

oh wow! I just realized there is a whole bunch of videos I haven't watched.. I had no idea there was a city you did not like, now i have to go back and search it lol .. IDK much about different platforms for live video, but I have a friend that has a radio show.. and she always has FB live, IG, and periscope while she has her on air show. She usually posts ahead of time what her topic is and asks for people to send her questions on twitter or whats app. and that is all I have to say about that. (yes,Gump). and the booths, i call them puesto, but im not sure it's the proper name.

[@chenchocabrales1036]

Love yous both and keep those videos coming .hope to one day move to Mexico and leave chicago.

[@jorgem5640]

Might as well visit San Antonio Tlayacapan, its a wonderful town. Highly recommend eating at “Letys” (I had the best shrimp ever) and “Adelitas”.

[@TangerineTravels]

Thanks for the restaurant tips! We'll try and make it to those places...yum!

[@caroljohnson8817]

Wow! Those Markets! So much merchandise. Amazing!

[@chrisshelton3504]

Thanks for all your information! Recently visited Guadalajara, Ajijic, and San Luis Potosí. Hoping to spend a month in San Luis Potosí next year to brush up on Spanish and eventually move to Lake Chapala area. Keep up the great videos!

[@Imaginativeone_DF]

Your Spanish is coming extremely well. Very nice touch.

[@TangerineTravels]

Thanks Doug! We try to learn and practice more every day. :)

[@RabbiShlomoNachman]

If you use OBS software with Zoom (paid version) you can do amazing things. We're heading to Ajijik Sunday. We love your videos.

I love your adventures! And love for the pups💕.

[@cesararias2165]

We absolutely LOVE Ajijic! Great choice on your part.

[@TangerineTravels]

Ajijic is a delight and there's so much to do around this town as well. :)

[@xhion02]

Just keep enjoying it ^_^ love your videos!

[@drummerlovesbookworm9738]

I’m so glad you are there for awhile because Ajijic is on our list to check out next year!! XOjennyinseattle

[@charlieeagler7639]

Guys. Since you are in Ajijic. I have seen videos about some of the the retirees there teach English to the kids .You should join them for a class or two is that still happens there. Maybe there have Spanish classes there. Just ask around, I bet they have many activities that you could be part of while you are there.

[@poodlegirl55]

I enjoyed this video very much. Thank you.

[@kellymills7346]

You should check out Scorpion Island and the other side of the lake e.g. San Luis and the Lakeside Little Theater in San Antonio

[@TangerineTravels]

We'd love to do that. Thanks for the suggestions, Kelly!

[@Chavations]

I know this video is old, but thought of sharing an insight about buying crafts and clothes, specially from indigenous communities (not sure if that's where Maddie got her blouse tho). The things they struggle the most with are: discrimination and low pay for their work. It is suggested not to bargain on their products because they take so much time to make, it's usually their only income and mostly everyone always tries to pay less. When you pay the full price, you're honoring their work, just like you do when you go to any normal store. I've worked with indigenous communities and learned this from them. So, try to avoid the bargain and take the full price, it really makes a difference for them and you're supporting local communities :)

[@jerryferro3207]

Watching you cook potatoes I thought, "What? no onions?" and then "Oh yeah right, I forgot"

[@TangerineTravels]

I used to love cooking with onions! Hope I can get over my allergy with age. 😜

[@pattyduran1525]

Tangerine Travels well Jordan can still have some.

[@portlandiapielady815]

We have heard there's a water park in Riberas del Pilar! We would love to see you there!

[@lauraarbuckle6119]

Also interested in live performances. Love you guys. You’re very entertaining !!!

[@michaeltodd7054]

I have seen the podcasts of several different folks and not one of them has mentioned the pollution of Lake Chapala, kids are getting sick from being in the lake and the source of the pollution is from mining that gets debris in the river feeding the lake

[@emersontate2713]

Hi guys! Wow - you are getting quite prolific! Enjoying your vids. Will be visiting Ajijic/Chapala area at the end of the month - maybe we will bump into you if you haven't moved on by then. Also - did you know there is a HUGE international mariachi festival that happens in Guadalajara in the last week of August and early September? Certainly great fodder for one (or several) videos...

[@imadinosaurruby]

Hi! Just found your channel, absolutely love your content. If you guys are still in the Ajijic area you should definitely visit Concepcion de Buenos Aires its a small pueblo magico that is about an hour and a half away from Ajijic. I lived there for 4 years and think it would definitely be worth your time. I will actually be going there in two weeks and it would be awesome to get your perspective on my pueblo :)

[@TangerineTravels]

Thanks for the suggestion, Jovana! We'd love to see more pueblo magicos. We'll add that to our list of places to visit. :)

[@bernardoruelas5048]

I’m a little sad because you guys left Guadalajara but I hope you guys will get a tons of adventures on Mexico

[@SD-gm4iy]

You guys Rock keep up the great work Love y'all

[@d.o2854]

Thank you for feeding those cute dogs, I would too!! D

[@suncloudsssssss]

You should go to Yves' restaurant in Ajijic. Video the burro in the front of the restaurant

[@everardocalderon8720]

You don't need Reddit, do KZbin lives, we will watch you. I like people who love animals, thank you for feeding those dogs, you guys rock. This time I did not see silly dinosaur :(

[@JamesBrown-zm6hb]

Glad you are in the Lake Chapala area. It is a wonderful area to relax and enjoy the beauty of Lakeside. I have been there many times and enjoy each and every chance I get to just chill and be relaxed. How long are you staying in Ajijic?

[@carolpotter5454]

I was very happy to see your show on Ajijic & Chapala. I have spent a total of 3 1/2 months in Ajijic solo. Yes buses are great. People are the wonderful. My Spanish is a work in progress. Harder to learn as I age. If Covid19 (I refer ti it as the Wuhan Virus) ever ends and I am able to get out of Canada I will be driving down for 6 months a year. I have done buses from Chapala to Joco. I shopped for many needed items at Walmart but most at tiendas. Bus to Walmart & taxi back for less than $5.00. Also drove to Barre de Navidad. You should ck out that lively& lovely W coast area. Enjoy all of your videos. Way to go you nice young people.

[@ShaggyFlores-mn2ko]

Was the restaurant with the unlimited margaritas in Àjijic, Jocotepec or Chapala Malecon? Thanks

[@IntangibleProductions]

Great content, congratulations! If you are still at Ajijic, sundays morning at the plaza you should try the Barbacoa Tacos 😁👌🏼- also Monte Coxala in San Juan Cosala food is great and the location is amazing specially the views, sunsets are incredible 😀 - I’m from Ajijic but I currently live in Los Angeles. So thank you for sharing all this videos from my hometown. I shoot a video last year you can watch it at my channel 🎥

Tajin is good on almost everything we think lol. Especially mango too! We'll try to incorporate some more cooking into our videos. Thanks for the feedback!

[@pinchealberto]

I was their in the first week of Oct and dogs loved me too , it was awsome but no isla de escorpion?

[@TangerineTravels]

Although we've been to Scorpion Island, it never made it into a video because we weren't too impressed with it and thought it wouldn't make for a good video. However, we to Mezcala Island in another video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/roHHpmSud7VqlcU

[@mariopardillo8618]

Hey guys, great video! So glad you did the bus thing - I didn't get to do it when we were there last month, but my wife did (she missed her stop too and had to walk back a little way). I hope to do it when we go back in 2 weeks. Do they need exact change on the bus or did they make change?

[@oomybeauty]

Unlimited FREE Margaritas!!! Definitely retiring there😇❤✌🖒🌹

[@giannagiavelli5098]

I'ma early 50s semi retired semi nomad. I'd like a home base city. But I'm not a fan of big big cities. I thought Chapala proper seemed like a nice place. I'm also looking at antigua.

[@jonnies8478]

You should go to Europe and do your vlog there. Europe is beautiful and very historical and interesting.

[@martinzamora4523]

[@3catscarefreelife]

I love your videos and you both seem so kind. It is a bit sad to see so many stray dogs everywhere and they are hungry. Doesn’t Mexico have animal shelters? That’s not to imply that the USA does it so great with our animal shelters.
