    This video made me so emotional 🥹 you, Sarah and Tori’s videos make me realize I don’t have to settle for a life I don’t want. You inspire me to dive into my creativity, travel in my SUV, meet amazing people that enrich my life and see beautiful places! I’m crying right now because this video and all of your content has just awakened a deep yearning for the unknown and know that the Universe has my back! I can’t wait to meet you all on the road one day! ❤❤❤

    I lived in Mexico for many years and never paid a bribe/mordita. Ask for a ticket and smile. Then ask for his/her name and badge number. 9 1/2 times out of 10, they’ll say adios.

Eamon and Bec , Van travelers with their dog, from Canada are also in Baja and other parts of Mexico with friends now. It will be fun watching everything you do down there. I loved how you started this video … your filming gets better all the time - just watching you be yourself. Namaste.

    Have fun in Mexico Maddie! Love following your travels. If someone else is traveling to Mexico (or another country) and wants a couple other tips...
    If you're American and you are going to travel out of the country and want to avoid those fees. I would look into getting a credit card with no foreign transaction rates (like Chase Saphire, but there are others). I'd also set up an account with Charles Schwab (or another bank or credit union that doesn't charge atm fees) so you can take out money from ATMs and not be charged. Otherwise, you can be hit with two fees anytime you take cash out one from the bank you borrow from and another from your bank.
    Also smart to email a copy of all your important docs to yourself, plus any numbers to call for your bank, cc, and insurance so that if something happens you always have access to the info. If something does happen it takes away one hassle of having to look up all that info.
    The last thing I'd recommend if driving is to have a decoy stash. An old laptop and some cash hidden somewhere that can be easily found - but not too easy- so that if you do get robbed they think they found your valuables.
    Hope this helps someone!

    Don't pay fees! Charles Schwab has a FREE checking account that reimburses for all fees, including domestic/international ATM and Foreign Exchange Fees. Get a travel credit card (Capital One Venture and Chase Sapphire are popular). They do have annual fees but they can be easily offset by all the other benefits they offer!
