      Thank you guys for sharing the insurance info! We were wondering how to navigate insurance while traveling. We had Baja plans for next month, but I broke my leg skiing a couple days ago lol!!
      Thank you guys for sharing your travels, fun and shenanigans along the way. Meg, your cooking is amazing!! Stay stoked you two 🤙🏻😁🍻

      Good advice on the eSIM and broad coverage insurance, unfortunately since I am over 75 it becomes very expensive.
      I am wondering if there is such a thing catastrophic insurance, we can cover most incidental medical expenses on a high limit credit card but cannot afford a Life flight home for example without selling the house.

    Fun Fact: That little town Batopilas that you fell in love with (as did we) was the 3rd town in North America to have electricity behind New York and Mexico City. It was one of the biggest silver mines at the time. Hard to believe.

    • @SlowRoamers
      @SlowRoamers  13 дней назад +5

      100%, we generally don’t consume mainstream media and like to form our own opinions of place, but when entering Mexico we still had some of what we’d heard clinging to our minds. Most if not all of it has fallen away now. Mexico is a wonderful place with no more danger than the US or Canada (in fact, maybe less?). We’re hoping in some small way we can shift the negative opinions about Mexico to something more positive. Thanks for watching Rachel!🙌🏻

    Hi guys, Allan from BajaOverlanding here, loves this Video, just wanted to mention that road up the hill you said was in bad shape 🤣 when we did it the road was mostly blocked with hundreds of boulders up to 6' around and thousands of smaller rocks, about halfway down there was one guy with a broom sweeping the small stones, lucky we all had jeeps, so to me it looked in good shape, can not believe you did the road in with the van, you guys are amazing. Have a safe trip.

    • @SlowRoamers
      @SlowRoamers  13 дней назад +1

      Hey Allan! Yeah, I kind of figured that the state of it changes often and rapidly with every rainfall. I’d imagine they’ve got a dozer or something hidden at the bottom that goes up ever so often to clear. It was a fun trek! Our friends in their Sprinter supposedly did it a year ago as well which leads me to believe the road was in better condition then.

We’re staying firm on our no pet policy. We’ll come back to Mexico to adopt when we settle down one day.

      Same rules apply, avoid flying over built up areas, around airports, government buildings etc. Just common sense places.

    When I lived in Southern California in the 1990s people with homes in Mexico who worked in the USA said every year Mexico gets better and the United States gets worse. Native Americans in Arizona have publicly announced this land belongs to Mexico. Native Americans want Mexico to return as the Government of the Southwest.

    • @SlowRoamers
      @SlowRoamers  13 дней назад +2

      I’m inclined to agree with that opinion to some degree. We don’t pay close attention to politics, but there have been a few things that the Mexican government has done that makes a lot of sense that makes me think they have their heads screwed on a little tighter than both Canada and the US.

    I wanted to go Mexico since I saw it on “Where’s my Office Now” channel started WAY back. Are they even still around? Anyway, one day I was talking to someone at work about it and they asked me a question that pretty much killed the idea. He asked “why go there when the ones that live there are trying to get here?” Not knocking anyone for going there, but I have a lot of the US I haven’t seen and Canada is next on my list.

    • @SlowRoamers
      @SlowRoamers  7 дней назад +2

      I don’t mean to start an argument, but that question is a pretty narrow minded one. There certainly is so much to explore in the US and Canada and if you haven’t yet, I’d say go for it. But to think that you needn’t go see another country because the people from that country are immigrating to yours isn’t looking at the bigger picture. There are lots of Canadians and Americans moving to Mexico as well and that’s because they LOVE IT there.
      From our personal perspective, we feel safer in Mexico than in the US, folks are generally more friendly, the food is cheaper, healthier and more delicious and the range of landscape and ecosystem is something we’ve never seen before. It’s all new and exciting and WE love it. There’s a language barrier and that can be intimidating, the culture is different and sometimes doesn’t make sense, but that’s part of international travel.
      My suggestion, go explore the US and Canada. Do that for a while, it will expand your understanding of the world a little more, get you used to traveling and then when you feel like stretching yourself a little, dip into Mexico for a little bit, then come back….then do it again, because i guarantee you, you’ll want to go back.

      @ no worries at all. RUclips being my only experience with the country, and different creators showing different sides, it’s difficult to decide what is real and what is put on for views.

    • @SlowRoamers

      I’d say the best opinion to listen to is the one you’ve formed from personal experience. We can preach how great Mexico is until we’re blue in the face, but you may still not enjoy it. All we can say is that we’ve had a really great time and I think the images we share show a really beautiful place. Happy travels and we genuinely hope you decide to cross the border one day and explore your neighbouring country to the south.😊
