I'm an AirBB person, I enjoy the local aspect, but I also have my own personal beliefs that AirBB is destroying affordable living for all people in any tourist area (USA, CA, MX) so my suggestion would be to build a repeatable presence where locals can bypass AirBB and go strait to the owner. I do understand that people that revisit AirBBs usual make deals on the side after staying there once, but maybe consider including short and semi long term rentals into your real estate ventures? e: My tip would be: if you find an AirBB you like deal with them directly to book in the future.
I was at Dia de Los Muertos in PV in 2021. You are missing the main event if you don’t go to the malecón the evening of Nov 1. Musicians at the arches, then an amazing drama presentation from actors/dancers from Aguascalientes telling a story of death and life, THEN really extensive fireworks right next to the arches, it was incredible and lasted till just after midnight. Parade the next day was good as well.
I did a Vallarta adventures tour to San Sebastián del Oeste and it was so good! The guide taught so much about the areas history, with humor as the guy was hilarious, and there were several stops on the way including lunch with tequila tasting on the way back. Highly recommend it. Next time I need to get to Mascota!
MLD logo is asking to be red white and green :) Best part of PV/Mexico travel is being able to shut off the politics and not dealing with that and just interacting with people one human level. Sounds like all is well with you, great to hear...hope you enjoyed your trip(s).
What a great conversation. As someone who is now so uncertain of her own country due to unimaginable poltiical disconnect, you two really approach this topic with so much kindness and respect. I am so grateful for the people in this world that can retain their curiosity and respect for different cultures and understand that we all mostly want the same things in this life-- love, peace and understanding. Thank you!!
It used to be fun to have conversations with people that have differing opinions 🤷♂️ media has convinced us it's threatening. I guess we'll just connect on love, positivity and happiness ✌🏼
😂 oh my!!! We’ve had to delete some Nasty ones but 99.5% are positive and I’m sure most of the people who watch us are also very kind positive people ❤️
San Sebastian is beautiful little town. We have been there twice. We are about to spend the first week in December in P.V. Can't wait to eat the tasty tacos again.
Thank you! Yes we do! We can keep our Ontario plates until we get permanent residency at which point you need to import it or sell it! I’ve had to issues driving around here. There is a process to follow if you do drive across the border here so just make sure to follow that!
San Sebastian is beautiful and its history is very interesting. The coffee plantation is pretty and has a lot of delicious products for sale. The church is very pretty and i hope to go back again
You guys are awesome! Keep up the great vlogs! I'm looking forward to seeing your short-term long-term info video. My husband and I are looking forward to going to PV. thinking of moving to Mexico permanently.
Marc & Kathleen, I really enjoyed this discussion, and excited to hear about the upcoming videos you have coming. The short term and Long term rental tips will be very helpful. Many travellers try to find credible information online, and sometimes it is hit or miss. So, what you are doing is very much appreciated. I like that you are both exploring other parts of Mexico, and from what you describe, there is more to the region than is known. Puerto Vallarta is considered a small town, yet still growing. I am curious to know how big PV is now. Is it still smaller than a place like Toronto? The neighboring towns, are they far away or close enough to visit by bus for a day? I like learning about the different neighbourhoods. Thanks for keeping this channel positive and real. Victor
Thanks Victor! We're looking forward to exploring a lot more. I just checked and PV supposedly has a little over half a million in population including surrounding areas. It's certainly growing every single day.
Thank you 😊 we will be doing an episode soon about parenting here in PV. We send our kids to a small, full Spanish Montessori and they love it. There’s all kinds of private school here and we also know a family that sends theirs to public and they seem to like it.
Nice Hey here in the USA the air feels negative very toxic and i mean people lol everywhere you go people are angry and look depressed something bad going on here .I do have a home in mexico up in Los Altos Jalisco best weather up there clean and nice people with tons of fiestas always something going on and thats where im moving to in a couple of years.Good Video
Hi guys, as a felow canadian living in a suburd of toronto, i have thought about moving to PVR. im wondering if you have had any regrets about leaving? Maybe a video about this would be helpful for others
Hello fellow Canadian 🍁 the short answer is no! We don’t regret it, if for any reason we went back Canada and corporate jobs will always be there waiting for us! Are biggest regret in life would have been not doing it! That’s a great topic for a video - we have one planned on things we do regret/ things we would do differently.
Politics aside, I do think that US culture has elevated complaining to an art form. We experience something negative (a delay, a mishap, an odd or slightly unpleasant encounter) and we can't wait to relay this to our friends and family, and in the telling we make it into a good story (not pointing fingers, I was very adept at spinning these fun stories myself!). Now that I'm immersed in Mexican culture (and am avoiding US news and most social media) I do find that it is highly off-putting. When living there (US) it's just the norm; out of the US it's negative and draining. It's not that Mexicans never complain, it's just that they're more laid back in general and go with the flow. Recently delayed 2+ hours in a small bus due to a traffic issue (malfunctioned truck blocking highway, no alternative routes around it). There was no complaining. Zero. No heavy sighs. No tongue clucks. No negative body language. There was also no cell service in this mountainous rural area. Some got off the bus to do their business in the dark roadside; most just hunkered down watching the movie on the screen. It was glorious! I have found plenty of foreign residents who do continue this here, and it's hard to be around. Carry on!
We feel the exact same way. Canada has become very similar. People connect on negative events that happen in their life, or negative irrelevant events on the news. It really took a toll on our overall mood and happiness when we went back to Toronto this summer. It has become the culture there, if you bring it up people get offended.
I don't like those "seasonal" tourist locations. Everyone gets excited about people with money coming in, then depressed when people leave. Prices go too high, then too low.
I honestly feel like even beyond the $$$ the vibe of the place changes completely! Thankfully we’re isolated form a lot of that because of where we live!
Please feel free to share my contact information with the person about whom you were speaking having a more conservative opinion. I've also heard immigrants referred to as Pilgrims in history
I am from the States and moved here 6 years ago. I have permanent residency . I call myself an expat = "Ex. Patriot " . It's more of a statement "about leaving" the US and not really about " being here ". I still hold my US passport.. my primary language is English almost exclusively. My bank accounts are in the US , as is my Business connection. . I would call myself an immigrant if I became a citizen of Mexico with full voting privileges and carried a Mexican passport as I live completely within the system. I see the term "immigrant" as being fully, absolutely immersed in the country having moved to. I think the entire argument about Expat versus immigrant title among ourselves is just ridiculous. You may call yourself whatever you wish. Why do others feel the right to call you out on how you see yourself in the world.. it's just an opinion and everyone has one and perhaps because it is an aging community here. It's much more testy. A lot of people , as the age, just get angrier instead of just enjoying life more and more with a devil may care attitude..

Thank you and you’re right on the 🎯 with that. It feels like so many people fall so deep in the fear mongering propaganda they forget who THEY are!

Bangin podcast! Love the topic selection! To the audience, don’t lead with political conversations. Love, live life yall!
It used to be fun to have conversations with people that have differing opinions 🤷♂️ media has convinced us it's threatening. I guess we'll just connect on love, positivity and happiness ✌🏼
I’m kind of new to RUclips via researching Moving to PV. I’ve noticed some people just like to criticize like they think it’s their job.
They certainly do! Facebook groups are INSANE 😭 some people hate being positive and helpful!
@@Morelifediariesyou guys have thicker skin than me. I made one video and a comment made me cry and quit 😂I blocked and ghosted that thug.
😂 oh my!!! We’ve had to delete some
Nasty ones but 99.5% are positive and I’m sure most of the people who watch us are also very kind positive people ❤️
Looking forward to that short term rental info. I need 2 weeks in June. Best to you both! adios!
We’ll try and get that info out soon! Thanks for watching 😊
LOVE PV BEEN GOING THERE FOR THE LAST 25 YRS. I PREFER LOW SEASON. LOVE IT

San Sebastian is beautiful little town. We have been there twice. We are about to spend the first week in December in P.V. Can't wait to eat the tasty tacos again.

@@watdahek2 Lol it's good but not the best! It'll def hit the spot!
Love your videos !
Do you drive an Ontario plated car ? Have you run into any issues coming down or while on your road trips around PV?
Thank you! Yes we do! We can keep our Ontario plates until we get permanent residency at which point you need to import it or sell it! I’ve had to issues driving around here. There is a process to follow if you do drive across the border here so just make sure to follow that!
San Sebastian is beautiful and its history is very interesting. The coffee plantation is pretty and has a lot of delicious products for sale. The church is very pretty and i hope to go back again
Thanks we will make sure to check those out next time. We did have some great coffee when we were there! It's beautiful there.

Yes it is!

Love your podcasts!!! Want to hear more about your take on schools! How are your kids doing at school? How do you feel about Mexican education
Thank you 😊 we will be doing an episode soon about parenting here in PV. We send our kids to a small, full Spanish Montessori and they love it. There’s all kinds of private school here and we also know a family that sends theirs to public and they seem to like it.

I mean I don’t have your contact information to share with him lol Also I’d say randomly 95% of the people we hang with lean more conservative.
I don't do Facebook or any social media except Telegram
Love telegram 😊
Come and visit my place in chacala Nayarit
Ok!?!?
Hola

whats xpat
Apparently it's a synonym for "Evil foreigner"
EXPATriate: to remove oneself from native land.
