    I'm just wrapping up my10 day stay in PV.
    Beautiful scenery, lots of art, great food, nice people, but crushing humidity and heat. It drove me back to my lodging mid-day.

      I am finishing my PV trip also, and I agree... it is too hot and humid this time of year. Although it's beautiful here, I am grateful for the a/c at the resort.

    Sorry to hear about your negative experience in that one scenario. Some dogs get startled by bikes easily, unfortunately. My dog, normally the sweetest soul, used to be terrified of people zooming by. Usually, double what we consider “the safe distance” should do the trick.

      It’s not too bad, much better than in Acapulco or Cancún, I don’t use A/C all day long but I turn it on and off . My suggestion is to have A/C and use it as needed.

    When I stayed in P V I realized that most people kept dogs for protection . The barking was 24/7 . This is a problem in many places ,not just Mexico . This could have been very serious . I am glad that you are fine and enjoy your videos The collapse and corruption is so sad here in the U.S. . Take care .

    Hi Larissa,
    I'm wondering if you think that Puerto Vallarta is changing and maybe becoming too expensive because of the influx of expats? We are looking to move there sometime in November but it seems like prices have gone way up since last year and we're having a tough time finding something to suit our needs on Airbnb. What are your thoughts?

    • @LarissaSokla
      @LarissaSokla  2 года назад +4

      Hola 👋
      Airbnb is the most expensive platform to find rentals ( November is the beginning of high season) unless your coming for a short period of time . Yes, prices went up so are everywhere in the world, but cost of living in PV is still very affordable, at least two times less than in Vancouver Canada where I am from. There are so many small towns in Mexico where cost of living is ridiculously low, in some towns for example Lagos de los Marcos where I was visiting in November 2021 expats find its difficult to spend $1000 a month( ithis price includes everything, rent, food ….ext ) So if you find it’s too expensive to live in PV , there are so many other options.

      @nucklegame77 2 года назад

      @@LarissaSokla I appreciate your response. Yes we understand it's busy season and we'll have to wait out the higher prices. But I guess you're right that we can always find a better deal searching outside Airbnb once we are actually in the city and can look for ourselves. Well thank you for posting great videos and I hope your channel continues to grow and be successful as ever! Take care 👋

    The photo of your injury tells the story. That must have been so scary. I've never been a fan of pit bulls. Their behavior can be hard to predict. I hope your nerves have calmed down by now. An acquaintance was telling me she was planning on retiring early and moving to Mexico from Southern California. It sounds interesting so I have watched a few videos on the subject. I'm with you, I don't like the humidity and heat. I understand central region is mild. Anyway, I enjoyed your video.
