Rainy Days & Museums: Black & Thriving in Guadalajara
Hey y'all! It's your boy Kev from Melanin Man Travels, coming at you from wet and rainy Guadalajara. One year in, holder of my resident visa and I'm still loving life in this vibrant Mexican city. Today, I'm taking you along for a typical day in my hood. No tourist traps here - just real talk about my day-to-day.
Wanna know one of the places I grab breakfast? Or how I spend the day engaging in some cultural activity? I've got you covered. Today, you will see one of the many chill parks where I walk and play with dogs, as well as one of the great museums the city has to offer.

VP Harris played a key role in these negotiations on behalf of Biden and the US. The media does not share her achievements enough.

What does a weekend look like in Guadalajara? Regular yet Abundant Living
Просмотров 2722 месяца назад
This video is a “Day in the Life” style - a day in MY Life in Guadalajara. My new city is a total vibe and I always have a good time. However, most of my days are just as normal as they were in the States. Running errands, running a household and living the “chido” life. They say that “life’s a beach!” I agree but not every day. My days in the city are great too. Check out Bread and Butter on A...

Dichotomies: Lisbon, a city of hills, beauty and wonder…and the Portuguese African Slave Trade.
Our family recently visited Guadalajara but didn't get to MUSA. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
I’m living healthy and peacefully. Gracias a Dios!❤
please don't gentrify our city
@@aldo2529 I live in a local Mexican neighborhood where the income level of my neighbors is higher than mine. I try to live and shop like a local. I’m not driving up prices and there are many apartments in my neighborhood that I cannot afford. These places are marketed to local Mexicans, not foreigners.
@@MelaninManTravels Well, thank you for having that in mind while you reside here. It's just that many U.S. people that come here don't take any of that stuff into consideration when they decide to move here. Thank you for taking these steps to avoid jacking up the prices for us local residents. I hope you have a good stay here!
@@aldo2529 Thank you for your understanding. I do understand your point. I appreciate the opportunity and privilege to live in your country and don’t want to have any negative impact on its citizens. I also wish more foreigners thought this way.
❤❤❤❤
Thank you for the breakdown, Kevin. You have a way of making this very convoluted topic easy to understand. Politicians are sneaky AF! And most people, including me, don’t take the time to understand our very complicated tax laws/system. It’s set up this way on purpose to control the masses. 45 brands his party as the party of the constitution also calls the band the constitution. These contradictions would be laughable if not so detrimental to innocent Americans. People only hear what they want to hear and his base is a perfect example. I fear 45 will end up 47 if people don’t vote, as you pointed out in this video. Excellent content. I will share your video❤
Love your channel, Kevin. I’m a white, heterosexual, 63 year old woman and I am learning so much from your experiences and grateful you are sharing this important info❤ My plan is to move to MX in about 7 years, or sooner, hopefully. 🙏
@@tamaravaughan503 Thanks for watching Tamara!!! Glad you are here.
Mucho talento tiene Guadalajara Donovan, Christian Burgos y tantos mas 🎶💖 con razon cantaba Vicente Fernandez muy bonita Guadalajara 🎶🎉💖🇲🇽
I live in a studio at Nomad Las Americas in near Guadalajara downtown for only US$800/month. The building is only a year old with pool and gym almost like a hotel.
@@lowinguadalajara8842 Thanks for sharing. People need options.
Don’t believe the lies. Don’t be influenced by misogyny. #KamalaHarris is educated, experienced and is for all people, especially Black, Asian, Women and POCs. She and her team WILL make our country better. Think critically. Be an informed voter.
This is over government taxing Americans citizens too much government intrusive against constitutional laws 😢
Wow! Paying that much for rent would defeat the purpose of moving to Mexico.
@@cloudnationmedia8326 It depends on where you’re moving from. I lived in LA where rents are very high!
Good breakdown!
@@RebelRouserEsq Thank you. Please share. People are just unaware
Thanks for posting informative and relevant content👍. I just discovered your channel so I'm going to binge watch a few of the older episodes. I retired a few months ago and currently I'm in Chicago. I've really been thinking about moving to Las Vegas. I'm determined not to do another winter in Chicago
@@tracystjohn1957 Thanks Tracy and congrats. I moved to Vegas from LA before Guadalajara. It was a good move, financially and otherwise.
@@MelaninManTravels I was in the Bay Area, prior to moving to Chicago. It was a good move financially; but my quality of life was sacrificed. Now I have to do a Guadalajara versus Las Vegas scenario
yeah dude, my building is getting filled with foreigners, I live in Ciudad Granja
I love GDL! I also enjoyed Ajijic (stayed there on vacation for a month). My Spanish is very basic, so I'm interested in attending a Spanish school in GDL. I'm curious what Spanish school would you recommend?
@@waltermurch5326 I attended IMAC in Guadalajara Centro
Amazing! Furnishing a place can get so complicated and you just found everything at once. You truly are blessed.
He never talked about the Visa that you got
This made me smile. Thanks for a look at some of these beautiful structures.
Guawww..so nice ❤😂
Not nearly as cheap as it used to be. But you don't move there anymore about money.
True. With global capitalism, no place is cheap as it used to be.
Eres un gran hombre
Good morning my dear friend, nice to meet you, welcome to Guadalajara, very nice place to live, I live in Chapala, Jalisco, near Guadalajara, it is a place where there are many Americans.
Teach me ya’ll. I want to move to Mexico.
My only concerns moving there will be employment. Can we move there and get good jobs ?
That requires research because it depends on your specific situation. All visa types don’t allow you to work for a Mexican company. Assuming you’re American, you would need a Us employer or work online.
Thanks! I enjoyed the video. It was helpful
lol vote blue. Bwahahaha… you people are too much. Kaykaykay was started by democrats. The confederate states were all democrats. The republicans were the party that freed the slaves and if you don’t vote for Joe Biden, then you ain’t black.
Grateful for my freedom! Let’s keep it that way!
I love the level of collaboration among African-American RUclips travelers and explorers. Keep finding and dropping these gems!
Thank you for your support. Stay tuned
This is such a refreshing conversation. I see the connection and the love you have for each other and the experiences you shared as you travel throughout the world are so inspiring. Get to people… It’s time to live your Blaxit!
Great video & conversation! Your friendship is beautiful. Can't wait for my 1st visit to GDL this summer! This is such an inspiration...keep it coming! 👏
You are welcome. 🙏🏿. Thank you for watching. GDL and its citizens are great so I am sure you will enjoy it.
Amazing story! I hope you're happy and loving your new home. I plan on renting my home in AZ and plan on moving to Mexico, too! 😊
Hi Dora. I love my new home and city. Congrats on your decision. I’m excited to learn so much about Mexico. Are you considering GDL?
Thanks for watching and supporting @FromLacktoLegacy. Here’s the link to the backpack video Sondra talked about. ruclips.net/user/livey6HXjerYsUI?si=3mJW_BTqYkfQB82f

Blessings upon Blessings, for sure! 🙏🏽 Hope to meet you when I come over for my relocation tour in June! 🇲🇽 💃🏽 You have the most relatable content for GDL!!
Thank you so much Kevin!!!!you are describing the atmosphere of the place instead of where to go and what to do, Thanks again!
You are very welcome. Everyone needs to have their own experiences so I want to provide as broad of a landscape as possible. Thanks for watching!
😂😂🤣😂🤣 “Mega Bus”
I love your videos. God bless you always, and the world. Hola from Queretaro. Over 62 years visiting Mexico, all 0ver the world and all 50 USA states. Keep frozen water bottles for body, bed. pets in and out. Wear a wide brim hat, and loose clothing. See how the Arabs are dressed in the desert. MOVE! YOU are not trees. Carry frozen water bottles for body, bed, chair, car, animals etc. REAL TRUTH. Move to Mexico. Criminals are worldwide. Be alert. Hola from Queretaro. There are African Mexicans. Africans are all over the world. Africa is the mother of ALL civilizations. I was born in Chicago in 1942 Southside, and happy I obeyed my parents. I live in Queretaro now since 2021. I wish you the best, and stay away from drugs, drinks and lust. Be honest. Do not marry, shack, or have babies. Live alone is safer. Hola from Queretaro. I have been speaking Spanish since age 14. Merida was too hot. I never wanted a house in Acapulco, but I rented a home, had a timeshare, rented rooms and apartments. I am a USA Muslim. I am in my 82nd year living in Queretaro since 2021. I was 20 in 1962, when I came alone from Chicago on a 2 weeks vacation to Mexico, from the border down to Acapulco. You are never alone, when nice families are around, and beware of the evil and scammers around. Earthquakes were the deal breakers for not retiring to Acapulco. I always worked, and never asked anyone for anything. I am a giver to nice and honest none beggars, and my 411 is FREE. USA got too dangerous, so I left at 79, for I would have eliminated the John Gacy look alike trying to get into my heavily blocked apartment with a key at all hours of the day and night. I was being poisoned for life insurance, but God warned me, and he took care of the evil demon. God protects me, but I do protect myself also by any means necessary. I have had to protect myself from evil demons, no matter where I live. I pity the fool, who tries to eliminate me. I have traveled all 50 USA states and the world on my own dime from WORKING A JOB, that paid every 2 weeks, overtime, and paid vacations up to 6 weeks. Never needed a go fund to travel. I speak Spanish and other languages since age 14 as a second language. I survived the USA for 79 years and earned all my income there. A nice pension and small savings support me and allows me to help non beggars. I can smell scammers and dishonesty a block away, and then I block their behinds. RENT is all i pay, because it includes everything, maid and security. Since 2021 it has been $672 per month to a present $916 per month. I order stock up groceries etc once a month or two at about $400 or less and delivered to my home in Queretaro. Gifts excluded, since it depends on you, and I prefer to keep that private, but I only am generous to none and honest beggars, who are not scammers or dangerous. I block evil criminals worldwide. CLICK, I am not rich or stupid.
Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching!~!
