    Again, we love Merida so much that we struggled coming up with cons. Are any of these deal breakers for you?

      My only con would be the heat.

    • @yvonnefischer28
      @yvonnefischer28 2 года назад +1

      Oh me too!! The heat would kill me lol I grew up in San Francisco CA and 68 degrees was a heatwave.

    • @legendmn55412
      @legendmn55412 2 года назад +1

      Definitely the heat, but Merida would be a good place for a winter home for those who live in cooler climates like Mexico City.

    • @marydfm664
      @marydfm664 2 года назад +8

      A deal breaker for me would be if you start placing your rainbow flags and other flags all over your property. We, here in Mérida, don't care whom you are with, just be mindful of others. We don't need to know, nor care what your preferences or anyone's preferences are. Just saying...

    Our place borders Centro in San Sebastien and my con would definitely be sidewalks! You have to really watch where you are walking in older parts of Centro and neighborhoods as sidewalks may be falling apart or people have built up to stop flooding or cut out for a driveway or just gone lol. Definitely need to pay attention when on a walk about.

    I've been in Merida for 4 months and I was in Guadalajara and Mexico city for a week and within a day or two I made up my mind about relocating to Guadalajara. It has an energy that Merida doesn't have. There is more to do and the Colonia I was staying in had parks everywhere. I find the expat community in Merida to be very guarded and unfriendly meanwhile in Guadalajara I feel like I would have more of a social/dating life. The food in Merida is hit or miss... usually a miss. The food in Guadalajara and Mexico city is like a flavor explosion 💥. I agree the locals in Merida are super friendly but I'll pass on the expat community

    I love your blogs info about living in Merida, but I prefer La Playa, I’m a beach person so PV would be my choice, because I can spend 3 months there and return to San Diego for the balance of the year. So what about getting citizenship or residency card, what do you need to live/move to Merida, Mexico.

    Merida sounds like it would be a great place to live from the information that you're giving it's like sparking a lot of curiosity within me. I live by myself now here in Connecticut and I am in my sixties currently on a fixed income but Merida sounds like the type of place I would like to be able to get away to and it seems as though I could afford it. It seems to be more of a relaxing place other than the US I personally have grown tired of the US. Thank you for the information that you have shared it is greatly appreciated

    That was great...and spot on! I am the polar opposite of a city dweller, but if the stars somehow misaligned and I had to be, Merida would be a great option. It feels small, it's clean, it's beautiful and it's most definitely comfortable. I live out in the boonies somewhat near Merida, which gives me about 4 or 5 degrees C relief during the hot months. So what's a Con on your list, is kinda neutral for me 😊

    • @BOULDERGEEK

      Good to know.
      We were just there, and 92F with a facemask on in February was a challenge. I can't imagine hotter and more humid. It definitely showed us how we might need to modify the times and durations of our visits. I am a mountain person, so heading up to Queretaro, Guanajuato and Tequisquipan was my kind of weather. We brought all sorts of Yucatan spices home to make our own pibils!

    I found the buses to be a very affordable way to get around Merida. I lived south of Centro and took the bus out to Costco in the north, then would catch a cab or Uber home. Easy peezy, and a real delight to experience some street performers who would catch a ride on the bus to make a few pesos. Many are actually quite good. 👏👏👏

    I def blame you for the price hike. 🤣
    April makes 1 year here for us as a family, and I will say YOU NEED A CAR HERE!!!!!
    There are buses. The new bus Va-Y-Ven is supposedly amazing too.
    Def need to speak Spanish if you’re going to come here as well.
    The people of the Yucatan are so amazing. Very kind!
    Agree with you my handsome neighbors.

      LOL...I lived in Los Angeles for many years, without a car, so I am sure one does not "have to" have a car in Merida...and David and Travis are proof of that. Although I doubt they would be car-less in L.A.

      I meant the quote to be "need to"

      @@rebeccar4312 that’s great! Really, and you def CAN especially if it’s just you, but I can tell you for a fact (because I’ve lived here for a year) that the Ubers here are not always reliable. They cancel on you when it rains, and it sucks waiting in the boiling heat. I’m also their neighbor and live right next door. So, we experience alot of the same situations in regards to travel here in and around Merida. L.A. isn’t Merida. VERY different. Very. Even with travel. I also speak fluent Spanish, and it was explained to me, that most Ubers won’t come when it rains. Delivery’s for food stop as well. Very, very much, not like L.A. you “need to” have a car here in order to really enjoy life here to the fullest. Thanks for responding Rebecca.

      Yes you need a car here. How do you get from Centro to Norte without a car if you don’t want to ride a bus or take a DiDi?

    In your opinion could a stand up electric scooter or an electric bike be a transportation option in Merida? If so are they available to be purchased in MX or one could import them yes?

      Not sure on that one! Check Amazon.com.mx or MercadoLibre to see if they're sold here - we haven't seen any on the streets (buuut we also haven't been looking so 🤷‍♂️)

    Mexico has 'everything'! But I love hot weather. So for retired people like, who like beaches, how would you compare Puerto Vallarta Vs Merida? So speaking of ‘vegans’ I love the ‘vegan’ white leather seats in my Tesla Model 3.

    • @TravelWTravis
      @TravelWTravis  2 года назад

      Oh they're very different! Merida isn't right on the coast, is very flat, is much more spread out, and has far fewer tourists than PV.

    Good insights, thanks! Heat is an issue but combined with humidity its brutal. I lived in Las Vegas for a few years and smarties would say oh yeah it's hot.. but its a dry heat!..umm so is a hair dyer and an oven lol. My highest temp living there was 121 f.
    I asked someone once if their place was walking distance to the beach and they said well yes if you have enough time and energy LOL

    • @TravelWTravis

      I used to own a home in Laughlin NV years ago and there were times I would drive from Long Beach to Laughlin. I would arrive at midnight and the temperature was still 103⁰ and the next day it would hit 130⁰. I've never felt heat like that in my life and it didn't matter that the relative humidity was 8%.

    I'm bummed that you weren't around when we were there. It would have been great to meet you. We had four days in Centro, Four Days in progreso, and Four days up north around the Montealban neighborhood (Chedraui Selecto was amazing). Everything was great, and still only about 35-40% of what we find in the US.

    Do you have a/c in your place, and do you use it a lot? And how much does it cost?

      I believe they touch on that in their budgeting video.
