Welcome aboard bro, that is the vibe we were shooting for and we are excited that you are watching and joining in on the conversation. -Merry Christmas
Thanks for sharing your perspective on these two cities! Very helpful. After living in San Cristobal, Chiapas for six months (a city I really love with great people and delicious food), I'm now trying out Merida - have been here 3 weeks. I'm very disappointed in the food here, quite bland in my opinion and I'm not sure I'll be able to handle the heat in the coming months. I've been considering Guadalajara and you have convinced me to head there next! The geography, weather and food there sound perfect for my tastes. Best wishes to you for the new year!
Merida looks beautiful and it’s close to the beach we thought about moving to Merida,. but than I heard about the weather it get really hot that’s why we prefer GDL weather by far.
Guadalajara has many green parks that you can go and walk in the cool of green trees and shade. Merida was a sauna for us. I highly suggest checking out Oaxaca. It is wonderful city near the Sierra Madre mountains. Temperature is very comfortable and the food is amazing.
Merry Christmas from Japan! As always I love you two. You keep up entertained and give great information. I truly appreciate it all. I pray you have an amazing and blessed Christmas and a wonderful New Year!
Hey, I'm going to speak for my hometown, Guadalajara has close the archeological site of Guachimontones. Tapatios do Vallartazo, which means that if we have a longer holiday weekend we drive about 3 hrs and spend it in Puerto Vallarta, also spend the day in Tequila. The government used to provide free cultural events before Covid19. Also, you forgot the canyon at the north of Guadalajara as part of the landscape. Don't forget that there is a lot of beatiful Pueblos Magicos in Jalisco. Like Tapalpa, Arandas etc. Love your videos!!!
Yeah, there is a lot more to do here in Gdl than Merida. I wanted to be nice and give Merida a chance but really there is not comparison when it comes to #thingstodo
Working my way back through your vids and ❤️❤️❤️ them!! Glad that you aren’t relying on the music, though, as I’m finding it distracting and hard to hear what you’re saying.
Yes, sound was a problem with a lot our older videos alog with some other things....we do our best to grow with each video. Thanks for working through our history.
This video is really really really good. I love the vibe section... the food section, the music floating in the background. I love how you you break down the difference in the two states. Your content is really good .
Feliz Navidad mi gente!! I haven't been to Merida yet, but I have visited Guadalajara twice in the past and I it is on my Mexico Top 5 list. As a Caribbean born island boy....your advice was on point....walk in the damn shade...LoL #1LUV
Merida has been towards the top of my list for a very long time. Never been, but have spent the last 20 years or so daydreaming about moving South! Keep up the good work
The largest lake in Mexico is in the outskirts of Guadalajara, the paradisiac Chapala, Jocotepec, and surroundings. Amazing place second-to-none. Do some research about it. You'll love it.
Hey puerto Vallarta it's not so far you can fly the for the weekend, and come back to the city in a very affordable price, also around lake chápala there's a lots of beautiful old towns, and in the sierra del Tigre there's towns like tapalpa, mazamitla, mascota you can rent a cabin you can do off-road horse back riding, hiking and so many other things, one thing you guys should do it's the Cuervo express to the agave fields, Jalisco much more diverse than Mérida by far.
You guys are refreshing! Well developed information, quality clip production, informative, and fun I travel professionally and Have spend a ton of time in Guadalajara, yet you two introduced my to a few spots!
Happy Holidays and blessings from a new resident of Atlanta by way of New York City... Thanks for sharing another great informative video along with your positive energy🤗🙌🏽
My parents are from Muna, Yucatán, not that far from Merida. I’m so happy you guys even mentioned Yucatán, because I hardly ever hear people taking about it. Hope Yucatán treated you both well. 🤍
Greetings from Sacramento,Ca, I just found your channel and love your content. My parents retired and moved back to Mexico, and now I'm considering it also. Love both your vibes, keep having fun.💯
You guys are killing me. I'm stuck in the snow here in Philly. I love the food and vibe in Merida. I used to sit in the bus station just to hear the Mayan lady bus dispatcher announcing the towns. Music!
Absolutely adore you guys! I’m torn between the two places for when I retire. Love the sound of the slow pace of Merida but I love cities ( lived in London Kingston (Jamaica) and now New York ). Thinking of part time in Mexico and part time in the Caribbean. So maybe Guadalajara. Will be visiting next year.... in the meantime I’ll be following you two wonderful people!! Bless up!
I think Guadalajara is more comparable to Monterrey and Merida to Guanajuato when we talk about the size of the city. Merry Christmas Yarbors and greetings from freezing Monterrey !
Solo se comparan Guadalajara y Monterrey en tamaño e importancia a nivel nacional, pero creo que en belleza Monterrey no es competencia para Guadalajara, en mi humilde opinión y con todo respeto a los regios.
santiago arreola soy regia y estoy de acuerdo y lo que es peor es que el clima de Monterrey se parece al de Mérida. El clima y la belleza de Guadalajara no tienen igual
I like your channel guys. I start watching you bicause you describe thinks clearly and also you speak clearly. I live in CDMX and also i want to impruve my english. You are a nice people. Saludos amigos.
Love you guys all the way from Dearborn Mi. I lived long ago in Guadalajara, my family live in Guadalajara, and I visit Guadalajara often, I love Guadalajara!!
Hello! Thank you for your point of view on Merida and Guadalajara! I've been to Merida 3 times now and will be moving there with my partner in January 2021 (inspired by you both - THANK YOU YARBROS)! Just a quick note, that sometimes during this video it was hard to hear what you both were saying over the sound effects and the music (specifically when the siren was going off). Otherwise much love to you both and can't wait to see where your journey takes you!
Thanks...there is a story behind that 🤭. We gave a wrong population number and then did a voice-over that didn't sound too good. We were going to go the direction of comedy but thought someone would take offense....we settled on muffled out....you pay attention that was like 1.5 seconds of chaos 👌🏾. Thanks for watching and keeping us on our toes.
It's so interesting to listen to foreigners talk about our cities and compare them. It's also very interesting for me because I was born in Mexico City and I moved to Guadalajara a year and a half ago, and... it has been a bit of a challenge for me, because although, as you say, Guadalajara is a big metropoli, I miss some of the things a huge metropoli like CDMX offers, such as a big subway network that connects you to the whole place, or even 24/7 life in the streets. These are things I don't see in Guadalajara and I miss haha, but still, it's slowly growing on me :P I like it now.
Cualquier ciudad es chica, lenta y aburrida comparada con la CDMX. Cómo mencionaban en el vídeo no hay punto de comparación porque no son iguales entre sí... CDMX solo se compara con ciudades como Buenos Aires, New York o Lima Perú por su tamaño y población, pero no la puedes comparar con GDL, de entrada porque es 4 veces más grande que ésta y en segunda porque ser la Capital del país trae beneficios presupuestarios difíciles de superar.
@@MiztonPixan Proporcionalmente a su población GDL tiene la misma cantidad de líneas de metro (Tren Ligero) que la CDMX. En cuanto a eso sí están a la par las dos ciudades
@@MiztonPixan A eso me refiero, los Estudios para encontrar la viabilidad de Proyectos de movilidad y transporte como lo es un Metro, se basan en el número de usuarios que tiene una población. En ese sentido el área metropolitana de la CDMX es de 20 millones con 12 líneas de metro,. mientras GDL con 5 millones de habitantes en 2 años tendrá ya su línea 4 de tren. Con una simple regla de tres te das cuenta que Proporcionalmente están a la par CDMX y GDL en ese aspecto; independientemente de que el costo del Metro en CDMX es subsidiado por el Gobierno, mientras que en GDL el costo del servicio corre completamente a cargo de los usuarios. Es un tema profundo, pero como dije antes, no puedes comparar una ciudad de 20 millones y que es capital federal, con una ciudad de 5 millones y que se limita a ser capital estatal.
I'm from SONORA Mexico but I have family in Merida, it is a beautiful city, but I was there in August and it is Hot and humid, I'm from the desert so it is a different heat.
Merry Christmas! Another great video guys! Always fun and informative. The little bit of singing was great! Stay safe and as always peace and love from Alberta Canada!
I lived in NY for over 15 years, and inner city Chicago before that, never got mugged. I've been living in Guadalajara for 2 years got mugged twice. But I have to say its been kind of my fault, walking around late at night after the bar closes alone, (Something i use to do in NY all of the time) not the best idea here. Beware of moto ratones. I even made a song about it! Love your channel by the way.
Love this info guys! I'm over 60 so Merida seems best for me. Summers are up to 110 here in Cali central valley so the weather is no issue. Have a Merry Christmas guys and a GREAT 2021!
I want to second all the barranca comments. Great place for a hike! Also, is the Tren Tequilera running during the pandemic? Y’all should go to the town of Tequila, Jalisco not only to get tequila right from the source but to check out the fields of agave and the mountains. It’s worth the trip. I recommend the Tequila museum when you’re there. Thanks for letting us all live vicariously through your videos!
Yes, the train is running and we are going but we don't want to do the Jose Cuervo thing we are looking for something less touristy...but we're going early 2021!
Love your channel! My fambam is from Jalisco! I'm from Oakland, but now living in Washington state. I've been wondering about moving back to the motherland when I retire. I haven't been back since I was 12, that was back in '89. In my 40s now, seriously looking to go back and rehab some of my family's residence in Atenguillo. Holla!
Each city is unique. I like Guadalajara but not the traffic and the big crowds. Merida is beautiful and full of traditions but it's humid, hot and lacks many of the activities that can only be found in bigger cities. Have a Merry, Merry Christmas and a New Year full of blessings.
I'm guessing you are familiar with many of the cities in Mexico. What's Cuernavaca, Morelos like? What's your opinion of this city? A coworker at a job I worked at a few years mentioned being born in Cuernavaca, Morelos and I want to explore this city.
Happy holiday and thanks for the all the great videos! I'm team GDL all the way! Now, can you live in Mexico City and tell me how it compares to GDL? OUCH! On the over 60 club!
Happy holidays to you too. Mexico City might be too expensive for us lol but if we do go, we'll have to wait for things to cool down there. No offense to the over 60 club; different party vibes, that's all.
Yes, sir! Thank you and you're right. Merida is The Spot for retirement...if you like the heat and Guadalajara is the spot if you enjoy city life. Enjoy your travels!
New to the channel and I love it! Talofa you two (Samoan for hello). I grew up in the islands and can’t wait to live in a big city. I just want a change of scenery so I’m with the Mr on Guadalajara. I’ve always wanted to live in New York but it’s too expensive for me. Tickets to Guadalajara are only $500 round trip!
IDK if the video would get any traction from our audience but Queretaro is a city, city. Very urban with a very diverse population hosting and a large international wotkforce. Merida has grown considerably in it's population and modern amenities but It is still a very tribal...very indigenous place with lots of tributes to it's different tribal culturals...their style of dress, their dishes even their governance. Merida is overflowing with indigenous character, hot weather and modernization. Queretaro is overflowing with mountain weather, an 8nternational crowd and families Thanks for watching.
Boy you should visit Puerto Vallarta a week, Its our nearest beach, also you can visit "El nevado de Colima" which is a real Volcano in the nearest state, One is active with a fume of smoke and another gets covered in snow in the winter. Hope you get a nice vacations
I thought that Cartagena was very hot. I remember Panama City being hot and humid. Curious as to whether Merida is like one of those. I hope to begin visiting some spots in Mexico besides Cozumel on a cruise and Cancun when I was in my twenties. Love living vicariously through you guys right now 😎
Epic showdown! My family has lived in Guadalajara for their entire life And my sister recently moved to Mérida 2 years ago So this video is overly interesting to me haha, I have a feeling Guadalajara might come to be the winner, but both cities offer many different good things
We haven't been to any of those places yet so we can't offer any critical feedback other than to say checkout expatistan.com & numbeo.com for their costs of living and take a couple of vacations to check them out 1st hand. Happy hunting!
You probably haven't noticed, but you already sound like Mexicans, I love the fact that you find things better on one city and the other says the other city also have this other things that the other don't have...love it!
Our latest video covers that info here is the link: ruclips.net/video/PUzU-R0L8cc/видео.html Later next month we'll cover the cost of living in GDL for Mérida's cost of living; ruclips.net/video/mutvdzzQ-Hk/видео.html
I just subscribed. I'm originally from Philly, so I love your 'Real Talk' style!!!! Q: What is your opinion on Mexico for single-moms? (8-10yr old range). I've been binge-watching your Merida videos (b/c of the safety factor) but I really don't want to be baking my @$$ off in the heat if Guadalajara is a viable option (i.e. no kidnapping). Thanks. Feliz navidad / Happy holidays! You guys are appreciated!!!
Personally, I would take an honest look at Guadalajara....there are plenty of safe neighborhoods and it offers much more for a developing mind to delve into zoos, museums... intellectual pursuits abound here. Guadalajar is a major intellectual city. Thats something I keep editing out of my videos because I don't represent it correctly but a vid is coming. Again this is my personal opinion but Guadalajara or a suburb around Gdl would be my preference to raise a family.
@@TheYarbros Yes. Please keep posting!! Thank you for the astonishingly swift follow up. I love that you touched on the 'developing mind' angle. I am so hyped! Well wishes to you and your family!!!
Guys! A coupe of things for you to try if you ha want already: Food: Santo Coyote (restaurant) and Paseo Chapultepec where the streets are lined up with vendors
I live near Merida....regarding the climate: When you get out of the oven that is Merida at certain times of the year and into the countryside with better plant cover and air movement, the heat is far more tolerable :)
@@TheYarbros I have a smallish farm more or less along the Ruta de los Cenotes South of Acanceh, which is pretty much all covered by the local version of jungle (Montes, as opposed to the rainforest variety). Definitely cooler there than in the towns around it. You have done the Cenote tours I'm sure, so you know what that's all about :) My other house is in a small village about 20km away. Lots of breeze and lots of trees to keep things cool there. As far as I have been able to observe....It seems to be quite a bit hotter in and to the North of Merida, so I am thinking the opposite direction is more comfortable. Regardless, Yucatan is a great place to live!
Thanks, you guys are amongst my favorite Mexican expat you tubers :) such a hard choice b/w these two cities. Wish I could put a beach closer to Guadalajara or bring GDL weather to Merida. I hear Guadalajara is a very “young” city. Is this true??? I need the 40 and over, “grown and sexy” crowd for community as well as entertainment.
Thanks for enjoying the content! We appreciate you!Regarding age...There is a wide age scatter here but we haven't seen the grown and sexy crowd yet. I believe as vaccinations go around we'll see the crown surface. We'll keep you posted. Regarding the beach...Puerto Vallarta is a 22 min flight away and that beach and town are awesome!!! -We just got back and really enjoyed ourselves!
I love you guys, but the quality of your audio could be better. I listen on a home stereo system, and I have to crank up the volume to hear you, compared to other RUclipsrs. But, your content is so good, I can live with the poor audio.
Thanks! The audio was our last frontier to conquer. Our most recent videos are much, much better. Thank you for the feedback and the constructive criticism I really appreciate it! We're always striving to make quality productions....Cheers to continual improvement!
Have you two been to Cuba which feels like a thousand degrees & locals shielded themselves with white umbrellas. Rondell "Come on down here Guadalajara where you can climb a mountain" you say??👀 Guy I recall your condition after hiking a hill to the first perfect apartment while house hunting in Guadalajara.😂 It seems a good look to maintain homes in both.🏡🏘
Yes, we've been to Cuba and it still didn't compare to the constant oven temps of Merida. A trail into the Sierra Mountains is just down the street from our home now.
Thank you for all the information you provide. I'm considering Mexico City or Guadalajara for a future move. Given the more temperate climates which I love, how are you finding mosquitoes in the city? Its Mexico, so I know there are mosquitoes...just wondering if they are less in those cooler areas of the country...? Thank you!

You can take bus to Puerto Vallarta..its only 3 hrs..and the beach awesome and visit where they film prederter...
Awesome sauce lol! Thanks There is plenty to do here in and around Guadalajara....I just wanted to give Merida a chance to look good jajajajajaa!
Crunching that taco brought tears to my eyes lol. Looking at those two Mexico City, & PV. Thank you.

Been waiting on this video. Thanks for sharing.
Hope you enjoyed it!
Wait to see the raining season take care :) !!!!! and starting May heats start to hit :) but you can enjoy the city all year around....
I don't know if the heat will beat Merida's. We'll brace for the rainy season.
@@TheYarbros Never.. Merida is super hot, only issue in Guadalajara will be the flooding during raining season, just be carful
The food scene had me 🤤 and the sound of the crunchy tacos👌🏼
Mouthwatering, right?
I loved your intro... Merry christmas...🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🪅🪅🪅🎄🎄🎄💖💖
Merry Christmas! Another great video guys! Always fun and informative. The little bit of singing was great! Stay safe and as always peace and love from Alberta Canada!
Great video my friends! thanks for the information, as you know I am Mexican and live in CDMX but never been to Merida nor guadalajara. thanks
Love you guys! Very entertaining, love the way you guys did the contrast.😊
Love that you could get w/ it!🤟🏾😊
Merry Christmas Yarbros.

Love your channel! My fambam is from Jalisco! I'm from Oakland, but now living in Washington state. I've been wondering about moving back to the motherland when I retire. I haven't been back since I was 12, that was back in '89. In my 40s now, seriously looking to go back and rehab some of my family's residence in Atenguillo. Holla!
Saludos amigo...thank you for watching and you should have a homecoming after!
Atenguillo Rules!!! 🤘
my grandfather was from there!
Each city is unique. I like Guadalajara but not the traffic and the big crowds. Merida is beautiful and full of traditions but it's humid, hot and lacks many of the activities that can only be found in bigger cities. Have a Merry, Merry Christmas and a New Year full of blessings.
I'm guessing you are familiar with many of the cities in Mexico. What's Cuernavaca, Morelos like? What's your opinion of this city? A coworker at a job I worked at a few years mentioned being born in Cuernavaca, Morelos and I want to explore this city.
Like what?
We totally agree!
Merry Christmas. Okay watched all your videos and got on a plane. Looking for the spots you shared. I hope everything is not closed for Christmas day
Good luck but the city has entered into another Covid-19 restriction phase. Good luck hunting. This has the etchings of an adventure for you!
@@TheYarbros Thanks for the heads up. Enjoy this beautiful day
Happy holiday and thanks for the all the great videos!
I'm team GDL all the way!
Now, can you live in Mexico City and tell me how it compares to GDL?
OUCH! On the over 60 club!
Happy holidays to you too. Mexico City might be too expensive for us lol but if we do go, we'll have to wait for things to cool down there.
No offense to the over 60 club; different party vibes, that's all.
You guys have to try the fish tacos in front of UNIVA, I think the place is called "The happy fish".
We'll check it out!
Make the best of your happy holiday and happy New year peace out!
It’s the major mall and popping major tags for me. Bye bye boring Mérida... not yet ready to retire 🥴 Excellent video guys !!
Yes, sir! Thank you and you're right. Merida is The Spot for retirement...if you like the heat and Guadalajara is the spot if you enjoy city life. Enjoy your travels!
New to the channel and I love it! Talofa you two (Samoan for hello).
I grew up in the islands and can’t wait to live in a big city. I just want a change of scenery so I’m with the Mr on Guadalajara. I’ve always wanted to live in New York but it’s too expensive for me. Tickets to Guadalajara are only $500 round trip!
I liked this a lot I'm just learning and looking into visiting different places in Mexico. Any possibility in a Queretaro vs Merida?
IDK if the video would get any traction from our audience but Queretaro is a city, city. Very urban with a very diverse population hosting and a large international wotkforce. Merida has grown considerably in it's population and modern amenities but It is still a very tribal...very indigenous place with lots of tributes to it's different tribal culturals...their style of dress, their dishes even their governance. Merida is overflowing with indigenous character, hot weather and modernization. Queretaro is overflowing with mountain weather, an 8nternational crowd and families Thanks for watching.
Wondrful ! Loved the format. It would be nice to have the Guadalajara vs Medellin.
🤫😉
Feliz Navidad amigos les deseo lo mejor para el próximo año 2021
¡Feliz Navidad y próspero año nuevo para ti!
You guys can go a visit Puerto Vallarta, nice beach town few hrs of Guadalajara
I see upload and i press play!!!! Win, win!!!!!
Instantly SUBBED , love your energy wow. Gotta pick to move either Merida or Guadalajara 😭
Welcome to our channel and thanks for the sub!
Boy you should visit Puerto Vallarta a week, Its our nearest beach, also you can visit "El nevado de Colima" which is a real Volcano in the nearest state, One is active with a fume of smoke and another gets covered in snow in the winter. Hope you get a nice vacations
Thanks! We'll be checking out Puerto Vallarta soon. And hopefully one day, the volcano.
Y’all’s videos are 🔥🔥🔥 so informative!! Thank you
Thank you!!!
I thought that Cartagena was very hot. I remember Panama City being hot and humid. Curious as to whether Merida is like one of those. I hope to begin visiting some spots in Mexico besides Cozumel on a cruise and Cancun when I was in my twenties. Love living vicariously through you guys right now 😎
It was on par with Cartagena in May and much more humid than Panama.
Merry Christmas... Blessings to you
Merry Christmas!
Awesome video guys
Thank you!
Another great video - Merry Christmas and God Bless!
Same to you!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU BOTH...OVER HERE IN KISSIMMEE FLORIDA USA.
Merry Christmas!!! Bless-up -and have a happy new year!
Merry christmas from Morelos México 🌲
As usual class on top of class.Many blessings.
Epic showdown!
My family has lived in Guadalajara for their entire life
And my sister recently moved to Mérida 2 years ago
So this video is overly interesting to me haha, I have a feeling Guadalajara might come to be the winner, but both cities offer many different good things
We need cooler weather....thinking Queretaro, Puebla, or San Cristobal de las cases....for retirement. Thoughts ?
We haven't been to any of those places yet so we can't offer any critical feedback other than to say checkout expatistan.com & numbeo.com for their costs of living and take a couple of vacations to check them out 1st hand. Happy hunting!
You probably haven't noticed, but you already sound like Mexicans, I love the fact that you find things better on one city and the other says the other city also have this other things that the other don't have...love it!
😄 thanks for watching!
Happy Holidays * Feliz Navidad * Happy Kwanzaa!!! How far apart is Merida from Guadalajara???
We don't know...🤷🏾♂️
Merry Christmas guys stay safe as always.Hey does Mexico celebrate 3 Kings?
Yes they do...
Can you guys talk about how you are making money or what your living on a month?
Our latest video covers that info here is the link: ruclips.net/video/PUzU-R0L8cc/видео.html
Later next month we'll cover the cost of living in GDL for Mérida's cost of living; ruclips.net/video/mutvdzzQ-Hk/видео.html
I like what you shared about Merida, except maybe the heat. Do you know of any touring services that visit multiple cities?
Enjoyed your video! New sub here.
I'll be looking for Spanish classes, a gym and music lessons. Planning a recon visit this summer.
Merida for me to live! Visit Guadalajara and Mexico City!
That was a great video thanks for posting 👍🏽
Thanks for watching!
@@TheYarbros My pleasure 👍🏽
I just subscribed. I'm originally from Philly, so I love your 'Real Talk' style!!!!
Q: What is your opinion on Mexico for single-moms? (8-10yr old range).
I've been binge-watching your Merida videos (b/c of the safety factor) but I really don't want to be baking my @$$ off in the heat if Guadalajara is a viable option (i.e. no kidnapping).
Thanks. Feliz navidad / Happy holidays! You guys are appreciated!!!
Personally, I would take an honest look at Guadalajara....there are plenty of safe neighborhoods and it offers much more for a developing mind to delve into zoos, museums... intellectual pursuits abound here. Guadalajar is a major intellectual city. Thats something I keep editing out of my videos because I don't represent it correctly but a vid is coming. Again this is my personal opinion but Guadalajara or a suburb around Gdl would be my preference to raise a family.
@@TheYarbros Yes. Please keep posting!! Thank you for the astonishingly swift follow up. I love that you touched on the 'developing mind' angle. I am so hyped! Well wishes to you and your family!!!
Guys! A coupe of things for you to try if you ha want already: Food:
Santo Coyote (restaurant) and Paseo Chapultepec where the streets are lined up with vendors
Thanks for the recommendations!
I live near Merida....regarding the climate: When you get out of the oven that is Merida at certain times of the year and into the countryside with better plant cover and air movement, the heat is far more tolerable :)
That sounds like a smart thing to do. What are some good places to go?
@@TheYarbros I have a smallish farm more or less along the Ruta de los Cenotes South of Acanceh, which is pretty much all covered by the local version of jungle (Montes, as opposed to the rainforest variety). Definitely cooler there than in the towns around it. You have done the Cenote tours I'm sure, so you know what that's all about :) My other house is in a small village about 20km away. Lots of breeze and lots of trees to keep things cool there. As far as I have been able to observe....It seems to be quite a bit hotter in and to the North of Merida, so I am thinking the opposite direction is more comfortable. Regardless, Yucatan is a great place to live!
@@thomastroub4563 yes it is! Thank you!
Thanks, you guys are amongst my favorite Mexican expat you tubers :) such a hard choice b/w these two cities. Wish I could put a beach closer to Guadalajara or bring GDL weather to Merida. I hear Guadalajara is a very “young” city. Is this true??? I need the 40 and over, “grown and sexy” crowd for community as well as entertainment.
Thanks for enjoying the content! We appreciate you!Regarding age...There is a wide age scatter here but we haven't seen the grown and sexy crowd yet. I believe as vaccinations go around we'll see the crown surface. We'll keep you posted. Regarding the beach...Puerto Vallarta is a 22 min flight away and that beach and town are awesome!!! -We just got back and really enjoyed ourselves!
Guadalajara is looking good! ❤
Would you guys ever visit Oaxaca? I'm intrigued about that city
We're very interested in visiting...hopefully we'll make it out there. Our list has gotten pretty long...2021 should be fun! 🤞🏾
Awesome video guys, you guys are hilarious. Happy holidays!! ❤️🙏
Thank you! Happy Holidays! -be safe
I love you guys, but the quality of your audio could be better. I listen on a home stereo system, and I have to crank up the volume to hear you, compared to other RUclipsrs. But, your content is so good, I can live with the poor audio.
Thanks! The audio was our last frontier to conquer. Our most recent videos are much, much better. Thank you for the feedback and the constructive criticism I really appreciate it! We're always striving to make quality productions....Cheers to continual improvement!
Guadalajara has some good food. I ate good there.
🎄🎅🏾🌲🎁 Merry Christmas 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Merry Christmas!!!
I loved Merida...Ready to check Guadalajara tho!
Wow really interesting video. Keep up the good work
Have you two been to Cuba which feels like a thousand degrees & locals shielded themselves with white umbrellas.
Rondell "Come on down here Guadalajara where you can climb a mountain" you say??👀 Guy I recall your condition after hiking a hill to the first perfect apartment while house hunting in Guadalajara.😂 It seems a good look to maintain homes in both.🏡🏘
Yes, we've been to Cuba and it still didn't compare to the constant oven temps of Merida. A trail into the Sierra Mountains is just down the street from our home now.
Thank you for all the information you provide. I'm considering Mexico City or Guadalajara for a future move. Given the more temperate climates which I love, how are you finding mosquitoes in the city? Its Mexico, so I know there are mosquitoes...just wondering if they are less in those cooler areas of the country...? Thank you!
It's really weird. At the Gdl airport there are always lots of mosquitoes but in the city nothing too serious at all. We never had any issues in CDMX.
@@TheYarbros Thank you!
