Something that I have really loved about living in Mexico is the kindness of strangers. So many times I have been amazed by random people who have welcomed me into their homes and lives. It is truly beautiful, thanks for sharing!
Is this the Joe Baird I think it is?? And your right my friend! All over the people are so welcoming and warm!
It's amazing how friendly the majority of people in Mexico are compared to what the media portraits it to be. Here in the United States you very rarely find that kind of hospitality towards a complete stranger.
It’s so true Jeff! How many of us are just willing to drop what we’re doing and take in a stranger. It’s very admirable and I would say it’s definitely in their culture! It’s not like some one off thing. It’s the greater majority as hopefully the videos kinda prove, being this is not the first time this has happened
Hand made tortillas, Hand dug well. Old school town, pretty cool landon
Yeah brotha I thought so too! The people are just resourceful out her and go getters. You want anything, you gotta create it for yourself
It looks beautiful where u were at so much land to yourself
It is nice to see you meet and be so welcomed by locals who befriended you and invited you to their home. It is fun watching how well they encourage and include you into their daily life activities. Glad they invited you to eat, relax and fave fun with them. Prayers sent to you for continued safety!
Haha Yeahh it’s probably my favorite part of this kind of travel! Ohh and yes they do not hesitate to encourage you to eat! In fact they are very motivated that you don’t leave the table till you are happy and full! It’s a very loving and untiring kinda feeling!
Thank you and prayers to you as well! :)
Guerrero word give me chills always after watching "Guerrero flaying"!
Dang my guy... Not sure I want to watch that
@@LandonBishoff don't let your curiosity win!
Okay... I'll trust you! haha thanks
My family is from guerrero hope to visit some day to see my brother
Muy bonito video amigo landon cuando gustes regresar aki te esperamos con los brazos a viertos ojalá vuelvas pronto te extraña Mario jajajajajajaj cuidate mucho y que Dios bendiga tu camino
Ahh muchas Gracias Adán! De hecho ustedes salieron en el video de hoy! Jaja Mario y yo somos cuates de sangre ahorra!
Can’t even imagine digging that well. Really hard working people. The river looked great. I grew up swimming in a river type area. So much fun. I was really worried about you when you went off with the guys you just met. You hear so many bad things about parts of Mexico. I pray that you never run into any of the undesirables. I had to remind myself that if we are seeing this then that means you are ok. I’m just a mom and grandma that worries. I can’t imagine how your mom worries. Stay safe and God Bless. Can’t wait for the next video.
Ohh don’t worry me neither! The time it takes and hard work to dig those out is insane! The river was perfect temperature and was super refreshing after a hot day! Yeahh you know just remember if you see a video upload on Sunday… things are good and I’m okay!
As for my mother… we’ll she is a saint! She’s very selfless to be so supportive in me doing this! I think since I’ve mostly gone through the more dangerous spots of Mexico as well she feels more at ease. I know she reads some of these comments so maybe she’ll comment herself haha
God bless you too Tammy!
I always love to see you interact with the folks around you! Keep up the good work
Thanks Monte! Yeahh it’s so fun getting to meet the people! It’s easily my favorite part of this kind of travel
Great to see you back Landon.
Thanks Raul! And Yeahh man I’m still alive and I’m out here haha
Hey Landon, by the way, you know how to speak Spanish real good. I was born in Nuevo Laredo Mexico back in 1947 and I was 6 month old when my American dad made me and my brother's and sisters US citizen. But even though I speak Spanish it's not as good as yours. Lol.
Ahh thanks Raul! That’s a way cool story! When I was 18 I moved and lived in Mexico for 2 years so that’s how I learned. So if you were only there when you were 6 months old I’d say I got an advantage on ya haha
I was truly touched by the humbleness of this family and their welcoming spirit. I could sense their joy in such simple things as swimming in the river and showing their new friend their world. Was shocked to see pigs and other animals just roaming at the side of the road. Stay safe and keep it slow.
Yeah they were so kind to me! Kept me fed and of course when I tried to offer something I was denied. Yeah pigs on the dirt soccer field was new as well
@@LandonBishoffthat’s how everyone is in Guerrero there really nice and kind people there always offering their friendship and I’m proud to say my parents are from Guerrero I love their town with all my heart I always go every year to visit my grandma and friends.
Its cool how instead of going to the tourist areas you go into the real Mexico to spots that people would never see otherwise and you fit right in. I agree with you it would be nice to see some more trees and plants but maybe that's around the next corner. Your videos are great from start to finish
Thanks MJ! Yeah I guess being from a small farm town I’m kinda attracted to the smaller areas. It does make for some interesting interactions though since I’ve never been to these areas either. Also I think your right! The plants and greenery is coming up forsure
Eso es landon ya ví el vídeo muchas gracias y aquí lo esperamos cuando guste lando
Hermano gracias! Enserio me encanto estar con su familia! Un día voy a regresar por seguro!
Beautiful people, beautiful country,,,,, Thank you again Landon!
Yeahh it’s already a beautiful country and the people just make it that much more better
One of your best episodes! What you are teaching me and all of your viewers is so valuable. Can’t wait for the next episode.
Also, been meaning to mention that your intro is the best. Don’t change it. It’s a trade mark at this point.
Thanks Eric! I’m glad you see it that way! I’ve been learning a lot as well!
And thanks yeah I like the intro! Although I have been thinking about adding some other shots so it’s not all just Baja. So it’s a little more balanced of all of Mexico ya know. Keep it the same amount of time and all but just add some clips from the mainland. What do you think about that?
Pretty bad ass how you can run into those quality people and get to see small communities like a native bro... hidden gems in Mexico are everywhere, for those who have it in them 👍🏻👍🏻
Yeahh I don’t really know how it seems to happen, but I guess I just don’t really say no very often. So when people offer I just go and it normally turns out pretty sweet! Also yes I love seeing how things are done in the small communities
It never ceases to amaze me how friendly the people of Mexico are. I just love that place. Your having such a great experience. I’ll be back in Baja in a couple months, can’t wait. But this time I’ll be on a new bike Just bought a new 701 husky and doing a little tricked out bike build on it. Yahoo. Stay safe and keep enjoying it.
Yeahh Doug it blows my mind all the time as well! Such good people out here!
A 701 in baja is gonna be sweet! That’ll be really fun! Are you gonna make a RUclips video when you go?
Watching this video was an experience that is hard to get any other way. Thank you!
Ahh thanks Aaron! Yeahh they are forsure special to me, so I’m glad you appreciate them like I do!
Thanks Landon. I look forward to your adventures every week.
Your totally welcome Tim! I love that you enjoy the videos enough to be looking forward to the next. This next one coming out this Sunday is pretty cool as well!
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Safe travel.
Your welcome Jose! Thanks for the kind wishes!
Great experiences; most in the States don't value the simplicity of other cultures. Glad you're a exemplary ambassador.
Thanks Cody! Yeahh it’s something I feel like ove defiantly learned over the past years. Simple does not mean less, weaker, or not as good. In fact a lot of times simple seems to be a significantly more effective way to happiness. It’s an ongoing theory and I think at the end of this trip I’ll probably gather my thoughts better and share my opinion on this idea
You're not seeing Mexico. You're feeling it deeply.
Dang I like that! Thats a good way of saying it. I feel like that as well. Its been amazing, I love it!
You need to take the Cuernavaca to Valle de Bravo ''Libre''. Out of this world scenery. Very lush and epic.
I’ll have to get that one on the next trip haha! Looks like a good time though. I looked it up!
Thanks!
No Tim.. thank you! I appreciate the tip! It will go to good use!
Every Sunday I look forward to your videos and they never disappoint. I don't think anyone from the states can wrap there heads around living a hard a life as these guys day in and day out in a rural area, and yet they appear happier then us, very humbling. Want water? dig a well. Want food? slaughter a pig, chicken, or turkey.
Thanks my friend! That’s good motivation to keep making them forsure! Yeahh it’s a super interesting subject to me on how and what makes us happy. And probably more important is what brings sustained happiness. You are not wrong at all either about many of them being happier than us. Their is something about simplifying things that forsure is a piece of the puzzle. Kinda like your saying with want food dog a well, grow or catch what you eat.
When I get home I expect I’ll do a more thought out video on this idea
Wow at that swimming pools!!! Was that suppose be a tourist spots???
Yeah the swimming pools were cool! They were actually geothermal so it was warm. They had different temperatures pools as well. All the water drained into the river so it was all natural.
I wouldn’t say it was a tourist spot per say as the majority of the people were mostly pulled from the neighboring towns. Also it’s kinda out of the way, and there’s not really a ton of reasons to be over there. But yeah I’m sure they do get some random tourists here and there.
Digging that well one bucket at a time, 😮 no gym membership needed. Such a different kinda life they live compared to me.
Exactly! No gym membership is right my man! Yeahh it’s a very different life forsure! Sometimes I feel guilty just pulling up on the bike “Just cruising around” what a luxury and foreign idea for most of these people. Feeling bad for myself only last about .5 seconds ever haha. Most people have no idea how good they have it ya know.
My mother is from this beautiful state ❤ I’ve always wanted to visit
Thanks so cool Alma! Hopefully you enjoyed seeing a little look into her state. Its a big one so this is just a small glimpse, but still fun to see
i get panic anxiety on the freeway soooo this was difficult to watch! 😳😄 but i am enjoying your blog!
Haha yeah I hear ya. At least I wasn’t going as fast as that other motorcycle though right. But thank you, I’m glad your enjoying it!
@@LandonBishoff that WAS crazy fast!! 🥴 i enjoy seeing the people you visited…we need to have their attitude - it’s not much, but you are welcome to what we have - take care Landon.🌸 i came to your blog from The Farm on Route66. 🙂
Yeah to be honest ive never seen a Motorcylce move that fast in person. It scared me when it zipped past me. Thank you! Thats very kind of you. One day I might call on you to buy a shirt or something to a sticker to support the channel haha. Also Alan and Vicky are so kind, they reached out to me to ask if they could shout out the channel. I didn't even ask them to do it. They are super selfless and considerate.
Some of the bigger cities, especially those that are commerce centers, are not as lively as the smaller towns. There's a more hometown vibe in the smaller towns. I can't remember if it was Acapulco or Puerto Vallarta, but I grew up hearing about how beautiful these cities were and when I finally visited (visited both, just can't remember which one let me down) it was a huge shipping port and congested and kinda ugly. So I'm not surprised you didn't enjoy a suburb of Mexico City like some of the other places. And like you seem to be finding, once you get off into the smaller towns and villages, the folks are pretty darned nice. That was always my experience in Baja. Just good, hard working people.
Yeahh, I also think it was a combination of having really high expectations as well. So maybe if I wouldn’t of had any expectations towards it might have gone better haha. But yeah at the end of the day don’t think I’d really recommend going there, plenty of other better places.
Also yeahhh being from a small town I do like the more hometown vibes as well
Hey, always look forward to your videos man! I'm actually originally from Cuernavaca, and believe me that your assessment of the city is spot on. Unfortunately, for the better part of the last 20 or so years the city and the state have suffered a lot of political mismanagement that borders on abandonment combined with serious issues with organized crime. The city has a lot of cool history and landmarks (the residence of Hernan Cortes, the summer/weekend home of Emperor Maximilian and Empress Carlota, the very unique Cathedral that is devoid of most any of the ornate sculptures or art that is typical of Cathedrals as it was center stage in the rise of Catholic Liberation Theology just to name a few.) but nobody takes care of anything, and the city looks nothing like it did say 30 years ago. It mostly retains some notoriety because it is a popular weekend spot for people from Mexico City, but that is about all the "magic" that it has left.
Ohhh wow! Yeah it almost had the same feeling as Acapulco is the sense that you could feel where in the past it was more taken care of. It’s a tricky position for me to be in since I don’t ever want to offend anyone. And also who am I to say if somewhere is all that great or not. It’s not like it’s a terrible spot, I think I just had imagined something so much more. If I wouldn’t have had such high expectations I’m sure I would have been more happy with it! Overall though it’s in a beautiful part of Mexico. Thanks for the insight on the history of it too being actually from there!
@@LandonBishoff Yep! Acapulco is very similar, it had its glory days up until the 90s and now it is neglected and survives as a destination for people from Mexico City. And I really wouldn't worry about giving your honest opinion/feedback on a place. We all have different perspectives on the world around us and its cool to be able to hear those perspectives and when a place both impresses or disappoints us.
Yeah thats exactly how it felt when I went. Its kinda a shame because the bay and like geographically its actually like a really cool spot! Yeah no your right.. I just hate being the negative navy kinda dude. I feel like theirs always something good to see. But yes I want to get better at just being more real about it and not working about offending people.
Was it mezquitepec or mequitlan? Since it's close to Papalutla
i thought this place was dangerous 🤔
Haha yeah it is
You’re lucky you don’t run into any cartel🙏🏾🙏🏾
I see you haven’t watched all my previous videos then.
@@LandonBishoff first video I came across of my home state I was born in thank you for bringing me the views I can no longer reach🙏🏾,but my first comment stays true be safe out there not everyone is a man of respect and integrity like the ones you’ve run into so far a lot of evil people out there unfortunately 🙏🏾😔
@@LandonBishoff I was born in Altamirano city but I lived near by in the mountains 🙏🏾! Would be great to see if you pass by that way! Or if you already did I would love the link!
My man you are so welcome! I feel honored to be able to show people this! Especially someone who would call it home. And I hear ya brotha! Ill do my best to keep myself safe.
Yeah unfortunately I didn't pass by it... Gotta save something for next time
i mean this is literally as dumb as it gets. like literally this could not get any dumber lol. this could have gone so wrong
you are an awesome dude and i am not sure if you knew, but offside guerrero or guerrero jungle in general is nr. 1 cartel zone in whole frickin mexico. ridin there solo on a motorbike - you can just call that suicide. that is like driving to a cartel bosses houses and just waving and smiling and seeing what will happen lol
I mean as you can see in the videos and the other videos I did get stopped by the cartel and it wouldn't be my first time. My experience with the cartel is they aren't in the business of just killing gringos for no reason. It doesn't make sense to heat up the area for the small amount of money that is worth my bike & my belongings, or myself. They also won't blink an eye in showing you who is in charge if you arrive thinking you're the shit acting all tough. So I don't think it was dumb, I don't believe it was equivalent to flipping a coin. Of course there are risks everywhere. but I wouldn't have done it if I thought I was risking my life. I will say this Hallo... If I was Mexican I wouldn't have done it.
You can call me dumb all you'd like, but this theory I have has proven true many times now. It doesn't benefit these guys to kill Gringo tourists. It proved true in Sinaloa, the mountains of Durango, all the cartel avocado orchards of Jalisco & Michoacán with CNGJ & it proved true in Guerrero. So if it was as dumb as you are saying it was... I wouldn't be alive right now writing you this.
You can preach the fear all you'd like, but the many times I've come in contact with many different cartels its actually always been a net positive experience for me. These guys are professional and apart of huge businesses! They are protecting their zones and watching who comes in and who leaves. You show up with respect and acknowledging you aren't the one who is in charge there and as a gringo who speaks Spanish I don't think it's as big of a risk as you are making it seem. Again if I was Mexican I would not do this.
I appreciate this brother, but yes I knew and I'm aware of all the hot zones in Mexico. To be honest I feel safer in some of the cartel zones than other places. Because in the cartel zones there is order! Im not the only person who holds this opinion either. Ive met many people who live in these areas and hold the same belief.
@@LandonBishofflike I said man, your a very cool dude and the videos are epic and you can sense the passion in there, so everything I said don’t take as an offense 🙏🏻 I would have never have the balls for that and I’m probably influenced by all the cartel videos, but in another sense, they aren’t fake you know haha
Anyways cheers man
And yeah man I never meant in any way that you are dumb, at the time i thought the idea to do this is dumb you know haha
But I would be heavily, heavily interested in hearing about the encounters with cartels if you have the time!
