I’m so glad you’re sharing this lovely area. Sadly, it seems that all that is shown today in the media is the negatives of what is in reality a beautiful country filled with friendly people. Happy travels friends🙏✌️👏🏻👍🤙 P.S. LOVE your Seek Discomfort T-shirt
Yes, people really need to see that Mexico is so much more than what's in the news. Sadly, the news keep a lot of people away from Mexico and they really are missing out. Mexico is one of the coolest countries in the world! Hope you have a great week ahead :) And who knows what G will do next with his Seek Discomfort T-shirt lol stay tuned!
Hi!! :) Aww thanks so much for supporting our channel! Happy to hear that you guys are seeing an improvement in the videos 🙏🏼 They are a labor of love!!
Nice job of showing a mix for touristy and lesser-known facets of the city. Looking forward to the next video. ...and I'm no longer afraid to eat crickets after this episode.
Seek discomfort! I love it. Your videos have inspired us. We're traveling to Yucatan next week, I can't wait. If someone's selling bugs on the streets, I'll buy a bag and get in on the fun :D Thank you for all your videos. Keep them coming!! Cheers to 5k subscribers
Hi guys!! Have so much fun traveling to paradise!! The Yucatan Peninsula is INCREDIBLE!! Even if you don't see the bugs, we hope you adventure to try so many of the other delicious foods the Yucatan has to offer. It's one of our favorite cuisines for sure!! Have fun and thanks so much for being a part of the WOTW fam ❤️ Never hesitate to reach out if you have any questions when planning your own adventures (there are many ways to get in touch with us in the description of our videos!). Safe travels 🥰
This video has given me a glimpse into the beauty and majesty of Oaxaca and its breathtaking scenery. I loved learning about the history and significance of this place, and the commentary was spot on. Support from Bhopal
Yes!! :) We already left lol but we spent the best 6 weeks catching up with work and made a couple of videos too. Mexico is always a good idea ❤️ Have a great rest of your week as well Jessica :)
Of all the videos I've watched on Mexico, you are the coolest! A lot are either old peeps or goofy or strange beings. If I move there, I'd like to make friends like you!
Thank you so much Karin! Amen to that! Manifesting this into the universe 🙏🏼 Thanks for the good vibes and for the ongoing support ❤️🥹 it keeps our spirits up like you have no idea. So thank you so much 🥹
We were soooo excited to see you in the Zocalo on our first trip to Oaxaca too! It was great to meet you! This is such a vibrant place, from culture, traditions and history, to art, gastronomy, nature and genuine people, perfect mix for our 25th anniversary trip! Congrats on your videos and first 5k! From Cluj-Romania with love- we cherish the fun photo with you!
Awww thanks guys! So nice to see your comment. Your have brought a smile to both of our faces ❤️ We love our photo together!! Who knows if we'll meet somewhere else around the globe 🌎 - and it makes us really happy to hear you guys had a wonderful 25th wedding anniversary! #goals Sending a big hug from the NYC airport :) we are about to board a flight to Hong Kong (Kuala Lumpur is the final destination). Big hugs from me and G 🥰
Hi, this is a nice vide, thank you for let people know about out beautifu city, I am from Oaxaca, I just want to leave a very little comment about the chapulines, they are not crickets, chapulines are grasshoppers and there is a kind of big difference between them, I don't really know if crickets are eatable but grasshoppers (chapulines) definitely are. Cheers and nice video.
We love Oaxaca so much! ❤️ yes, we made the correction with text in the video ;) also not sure if crickets are edible lol but chapulines were not bad! 🙏🏼
Hmmm, to me the big one is better. The small ones were super dry and felt a bit like having sawdust in your mouth haha. Maybe we'll try grasshoppers in Japan one day!!!
OMG so sorry! That must have been so hard Paula 🙈 So, weirdly enough the only time we have been sick in Mexico was at a nice hotel from room service pizza 😂 We don't drink the water, ever. We even brush our teeth with filtered water. However we are not super careful when cooking with it, for example we make rice and pasta and wash our veggies using sink water and have always been fine. Our advice is that you start slowly, maybe don't eat all the vegetables during the first few days, so your body gets used to it a little bit. Also, have Alka-setzer with you and take it before bed if you feel like something was too heavy. Hopefully you will be just fine this time! Also, if you're going to Oaxaca, don't eat moles every day! Take it easy with those. It'll be hard because they are extremely delicious, but our bodies can't handle it as an every day thing 😂 Good luck ❤️
Take things in a little at a time as an introduction. Remember, a lot of the sickness comes from the different ingredients that you are not used to, if you are food sensitive. Also, different bacteria than what you have in your country. What did you do, drink the aqua? I mean, what did you eat?
Actually I don't remember the exact bar/restaurant - but it's in front of Templo de Santo Domingo de Guzman. This place has the same view and great reviews: maps.app.goo.gl/QEvF7TzhHPLGq6ar5
are they still wearing masks there? Were in Queretaro about 2 and a half yrs ago and it was still there too back then But now this is a head-scratcher for me. Aw, I live in Medellin is it humid there like in Cartagena??
yea a lot of the local people were still wearing masks when we were there in January. we went to Guadalajara after and far fewer people were wearing masks, so I guess it's a regional thing. We visited during the dry season and it was super dry mountain climate (very pleasant). Though they have a distinct wet season (May - Sept) and we heard it can get very hot and I guess humid too.
"They speak 16 different languages only in the state of Oaxaca" - it's less confusing & more natural if you move your verb to the middle of the sentence and say "There are 16 different languages spoken only in the state of Oaxaca"
If you want, come visit but leave later, do not use Airbnb, these practices are affecting the country, they are displacing the locals, we have a very big problem of gentrification, inform yourself before coming to enjoy at the expense of the suffering of others
nah, you are not at all naturals -- do your research before you share info. "zapotec" is not a language; it is a dialect. too, you don't go to a market to eat street food. str-eet food is sold on the street. inside a market you eat market food. not! you eat local food, et cetera. thank you for sharing, BUT educate yourselves prior to filming AND do not make the video about you. good luck! and yes, thank you. 😊
thanks! two quick things: 1) "Zapotec is a family of Indigenous languages of Mexico, most spoken in the state of Oaxaca, all of which can be called “Zapotec”.'" Source: oer.haverford.edu/cali-chiu/chapter/1-lecsyony-teiby/ Hence, it is not a dialect, but a language family. 2) 'Street food is food or drinks sold by a hawker or vendor on a street or at other public places, such as markets, fairs, parks, and clubs.'

I’m an Army veteran and would like to take my family to Oaxaca. Would y’all like to be our guides? Hehe

Cheers and nice video.
We love Oaxaca so much! ❤️ yes, we made the correction with text in the video ;) also not sure if crickets are edible lol but chapulines were not bad! 🙏🏼
Japanese used to eat grasshopper (still do actually), I remember eating those when I was small. Is big one better or small one?
Hmmm, to me the big one is better. The small ones were super dry and felt a bit like having sawdust in your mouth haha. Maybe we'll try grasshoppers in Japan one day!!!
I will pass on the crickets 😱.
😂 we don't blame you 😂 they are hard to look at, but really don't taste like much hahaha but so difficult to take the first bite haha
They are not crickets, that is miss information, they are grasshopers which live in the fields, mainly in corn crops, so their food is clean.
I like Gordon. He seems cool and adventurous. Gordon are you from Chile ?
Thanks! I try to be adventurous 😎 I am born and raised in the US...
I'm on my way to permanent residency and Oaxaca is on my list to check out. You have a fun vibe, keep creating content!
Thank you!!! Yes, Oaxaca is special. We loved it so much!!
Chapulines are not crickets.
They're grasshoppers.
Yes we know. We made the correction in text in the video. Thanks!
I love my Oaxaca. The place where I was born. Can't wait to go back. For dia de muertos for sure.
A beautiful city ❤️
Went to mexico at 15, sick 6 days, hotel stated only filtered water. I ate mostly fruit and bread. Scared to try again. Tips?
OMG so sorry! That must have been so hard Paula 🙈 So, weirdly enough the only time we have been sick in Mexico was at a nice hotel from room service pizza 😂 We don't drink the water, ever.

Right - I'm pretty sure we made the correction with text in the video...
Where was that last rooftop?
Actually I don't remember the exact bar/restaurant - but it's in front of Templo de Santo Domingo de Guzman. This place has the same view and great reviews: maps.app.goo.gl/QEvF7TzhHPLGq6ar5
Is it Oaxaca Te Amo?
I was loving the video until the Cat Shelter. There is no way I would eat there. Other than that, I oved the video. lol
LOL this made me laugh. It's not for everyone lol but the food was actually really good :)
Iguana guerreo
gentrificacion con todo
Can you please show me where its at on a map, for out of country people, thank you
We always forget to do this in Mexico 🙈 but we do it for a lot of our other videos :)
are they still wearing masks there? Were in Queretaro about 2 and a half yrs ago and it was still there too back then But now this is a head-scratcher for me. Aw, I live in Medellin is it humid there like in Cartagena??

No, we haven't...
