Small world. I remember meeting you guys at the now defunct *Casa San IIdefonso* in Mexico City nearly three years ago. Had no idea you had a YT channel! Cheers
Hello from La Punta! I was here in the 1980s when there was nothing but cabanas with hammocks you could rent for a dollar a night. It is still pretty rustic - with everything that can make a digital nomad happy - high speed Internet, party life, co-working spaces, cheap rents - and an organic food store!
Most people skip Oaxaca city on their way to Puerto Escondido, big mistake . It’s such an old colonial beautiful city . Oaxaca city and Puerto Escondido combined would make the perfect most beautiful vacation combo .
Very cool video. The style and music set an awesomely chill vibe. Love the balance of walking, info, and natural surroundings shots. Well-done. Liked and sub'd. Cool you looked up and caught the skydivers flying over! ✌🏼😎🌴
it would be sweet if you put a map of where your at and where you came from. just found your channel and its pretty good so far keep up the great work.
1) Looks as though you guys are narrowing down your search of a place to settle down. Well-done! 2) I love that the muzak we hear is given right in the video, to the lower left, so that we can see what's what as we're hearing your soundtrack. That makes listening a bit easier. 3) QUESTION: How do you both luck out as often as you seem to do, finding nightly accommodations? For the most part they seem to be spot on, for your needs. (I don't have internet or what's app so I can't communicate with anyone via that way. Many people seem to think that I do. Oh, well ... ) 4) ANOTHER QUESTION, please: How do you come by your song lists? Much of what you play accompanying your videos, is GREAT! 4) That fishie burger was BEAUT! They give good sized food portions in Mexico seems to me, eh?
So you took my advice and went to Puerto Escondido and Playa Zicatela 😉. After 10 years Lloyd must have found the village so changed. After 25 years I think I would find this place transformed, but I think it always remains a magical place, indeed I think it could really be the right place for you to live there (Mandy seems to actually have this idea 😃). Puerto Escondido became famous in Italy for a 1992 movie ... the theme was precisely escaping from everyday life to go to a hidden place ("escondido" was therefore the right name 🙂), where not to be reached by problems and negativity ... I love Southeast Asia, I know practically everything (I was married to a Thai woman), but I think that Mexico (or other countries in Central America) could be the right tropical place and most suitable for several reasons for our lifestyle. Take your chance 😛 ... ruclips.net/video/q8EpANwjCYE/видео.html
Loved the video! It was nice to feel the PE vibe again. I also discovered it a while back in 2013 and fell in love. I’m moving there in less than two weeks! So excited! What’s the name of the place you rented the scooters please? You remember? Thanks!
Is this the 100th video comparing PE to Tulum?? Judging by the views, I guess the trick still works. Anyone interested in PE should know that this video offers an extremely narrow perspective. There is actually real Oaxacan culture and cuisine in the area (rather than the generic beach grub offered in la Punta), a vibrant and authentic Mexican Centro, several better beaches that you did not explore, in town and within 30 km; and two beautiful "municipal capitals" set in the mountains: San Pedro Mixtepec and Santa Maria Colotepec. For people attracted to Tulum - yes, you can go to La Punta and find your tribe - IG wannabes looking for a photo backdrop (bring your floppy hat and flowy dress), their next smoothie, a wave and a rave. For everyone else, please know that there is more to PE than what is depicted here and many RUclips videos offering a more comprehensive overview.
I have just arrived Escondido first day 😂 had an incident with police already but they actually were really helpful and helped me home cause I was lost ahah I was scared though surrounded by 8 cops with guns at 1am in my own lost in Escondido, only arrived an hour before that. Next day morning now and I’m here looking for what to do lol
@@LloydandMandy I know this sounds like a lie cause it’s just too convenient lol but I just got attacked by a pack of dogs 😅 people going to Escondido listen, be afraid of the dogs!! Either carry a weapon or don’t walk down dark, quiet alleyways late at night… having just said that I realise how this was my fault and could have been avoided haha I only got a small bite
Hola.......You guys check out my son' jacob and wife lucia... Hotel...Puro Vida......its one block up from the la punta.......also check out my nephew' Mito Bar.....S.O.S.................we are all from playa del carmen....continue to enjoy.......beso amen
I presume you are travelling up to Acapulco. Please be super vigilant.. especially on the bus up there, gangs and robbers in a lawless area. Stay to the main drag of town. Use the VW bug taxis they are awesome. Loving your experiences in Mexico. 😎😎
Lloyd Puerto Escondido in early 90s was like U said known for great surf party's an very cheap cocaine $7 Australian would get U 3.5 grams ( so I heard) ha ha

I went to Puerto Escondido with a friend 40 years ago. So magical. Hardly anything there then. It was so beautiful. We had such an amazing time.
Puerto Escondido looks like an amazing place. I’d definitely put it towards the top of the list of places to consider living in.
Yes, I agree. I'm Mexican and I really love love Puerto Escondido so sooo much ! I'm glad you like it. ❤️❤️
Magic. I was there in 2005. Was quite untouched. Great tunes to match your scenery. Loved you two playing cards sunset with that pina colada stop it

I have watched all of your video's. And now watching all again from the very beginning. This place looks like my fave of all you have been ❤️
It's awesome that you guys are out finding alternatives to Tulum 🎉🎉🎉
I love this place! I kept saying to my husband: "Can we live there too? Can we? Can we?
Most people skip Oaxaca city on their way to Puerto Escondido, big mistake . It’s such an old colonial beautiful city . Oaxaca city and Puerto Escondido combined would make the perfect most beautiful vacation combo .
This was an awesome video! And super informative. I've been to Sayulita and now I'm in Playa Del Carmen. Looking for the next spot. Thanks guys :)

Welcome to oxaca 👍👍🏝🏝🏝
Thank you!
What did you Lloyd say "no" when you asked him "can we live here"?
Hi guys, can you share the contact of the place where you rented the motorcycle?
Odd question, What card game are y'all playing at the beach bar?
It’s called golf, very fun
Are you traveling on your vw van across mexico?
love the background music choices you guys, do you guys have a list of the bands?

Where did you rent the scooter?
thanks for the subtitles in portuguese 🇧🇷
Sayulita or San pancho are probably the best surf towns.
Debatable
I'd wanna live there too.
Looks great 🍺🍺🍷🍷
How much per month for this lifestyle?
I have just arrived Escondido first day 😂 had an incident with police already but they actually were really helpful and helped me home cause I was lost ahah I was scared though surrounded by 8 cops with guns at 1am in my own lost in Escondido, only arrived an hour before that.

Exclusive beach tour.
Thanks for your sharing...
Keep it up🎥🎥🎥
Come to Puerto Vallarta México guys
Why won’t Lloyd live there?
Call place paradise, kiss it goodby…..home is where the heart is, a place of contentment, not beers and pina coladas. Keep chasing the dream.
Where'd you rent the bike?
Puerto Escondido is far better than Tulum ❤
❤️
Yes, until all the nomads and hipsters invade and ruin it like Tulum. But for now its great.
👍👍👍👍👍😎
