In turn please do the same when it comes to Black people in America. We are passionate people full of compassion and want Latinos to understand that instead of buying into the white man’s narrative. Amen.

Yep. People are always asking me "Are you safe in Mexico? Is it safe to go there?". Yes it's safe. It's wonderful. The people are amazing. One thing you notice which is completely contrary to the media's view of Mexico is that every single Mexican I've met works their butt off. They are the hardest working people I've ever met. And the food. OMG!
Well, it also depends on what parts of Mexico. My family is from Guanajuato and they are in a cartel controlled area, they are the bosses there. Which is why I haven't visited in over a decade.
@@sierra00990 jajaja your funny, i been in Mexico for 30 days in the city of Uruapan, Michoacán that is worst than Guanajuato. Media lies to you, off course there's murders but is between cartel members. This city is very nice especially the weather and very cheap cause there's no expats. If you mind your own business nothing is going to happen, i already went to the dentist got them fix for $200.00 very cheap prices. I go out every single day and haven't encounter nothing bad.
I am born and raised in Puebla, Mexico and yes our country is a good place but not the best to live in my personal opinion, economy and day to day life isn’t easy at all
@@gunless2343 no veo cual es el problema de vivir en México, claro si tus padres o tú decidiste que lo tuyo no era estudiar, lógico no tendrás un gran trabajo y desarrollo personal y económico. Pero eso sucede en cualquier país del mundo. Incluso para un ciudadano de USA, sin estudios o buen trabajo es difícil, pasará toda su vida endeudado y viviendo mal
I really liked your comment about US people should learn spanish because they're not the center of the universe. You're right, most of them are not interested in learn other languages. Regards.
You are right we are not the center of the universe, but we do have a huge role in the financial "universe" and this is why many folks learn English instead of Spanish.. You may be surprised to learn that many Mexicans that live in the US do not know English and the US has accommodated them by offering many services in Spanish.
@@roadrunner123 right, good points. It's almost impossible to overstate the importance of English. Now, that does not mean you should go to to other places, with a different language, and just start speaking English like they had the obligation of knowing it. It's their country. Many Americans live in countries like Spain, Greece, Portugal (I know these better) just fine without knowing these countries languages, either because they socialize mostly with expats, because many services etc. have paperwork in English, and English speaking people, because many national citizens speak English, etc. But that doesn't mean you should expect that everybody in their own country has to learn a foreign language. If China becomes dominant, would you learn Chinese living in your own country?
@@eduardoserrao7372 I have also been in those countries and obviously if everyone did what they are suppose to do, the world would be a different place. Unfortunately, they don't for a variety of reasons. The point I was making is that this is obviously not simply an American issue. Many people go to other countries and do not remain there long enough to learn the language. There are many, who live in a country a lifetime, and still do not know the language as many Mexican citizens in the US do. Of course you will start speaking English in Greece, Spain, or wherever when it is the only language you speak! It is not simply an American issue. I am always greatful to find someone who speaks English, but I have lived in places where they don't. I had a driver in Cambodia, who took me to work every day and neither one of us understood each other! (Yo hablo, escribo, y puedo leer en Espanol. No es motivo para criticar a todos aquellos que no pueden.)
@@roadrunner123 OK, you are nice person, by the way. We don't fundamentally desagree, I think. I don't think Americans should think of learning languages or not. We, the rest of the world, let's say, don't have the right to expect that. And, yes, it's not only an American issue. Of course English is very useful, and the world should even be thankful for that. I am, and I wish I could improve my own English, actually. What I think I was trying to say is that sometimes it feels like is supposed to be a perennial institution all over the world. That it should be law. Maybe I'm being unjust, unfair. Off course many Americans care about other cultures, but even if they don't, is their right, I have nothing against them. Americans are a easy target in this regard (by the way, I generally like Americans and the US) , I guess I should have focused more in English itself and the perception about its (supposed) status and perception of it, even if it is no one fault, specifically. Just an example to clarify all of this: in my country there is a region of great turístic tradition. I sometimes follow English speaking forums, channels, etc., and sometimes people express their disappointment and resentment if in other regions restaurants etc. don't display things in English, and specifically so if that would happen in that region. Of course English is good for the restaurants themselves (in a way, we are to blame for it too, so to say) and I recognize and appreciate that, but, is like people never seem to have the curiosity or the need of wonder to really immerse in "authentic things". I know this is cliché, but culture and identity are not just "pitoresc features of the natives". It's us, our sense of ourselves. Sometimes I go to that part of my country, and is mixed feelings: it's great for the economy and even for us to learn from other cultures, but to see the food you grew up with adulterated - in the name and the food itself, I mean, everything is so fake, so superficial. And yet, thanks to that, the community and, in some way, the traditions overall can survive better. So, I think it is just the way things are. It brings more good than evil, in the end, but specially so if we are able to think criticaly and be aware of this reality.
I absolutely love this. My parents are full Mexican, I’m a 1st gen in the US. And plan on moving to Mexico in 2022. This is so heartwarming thank you! 🤍
Same ! I want to move for the experiences the stress free environment but the opinions stop me we have this idea that life in us is better but when I’m in Mexico with the rest of my family i feel so much happier also I’d have the opportunity to have a bigger house / income than here in us but the stress free environment is what I care about not about the things I can have here in US how did you confront this decision with fam
This was a needed video. My husband and I (okay, more I) am seriously thinking about moving to Mexico. With this second reign of terror, I genuinely scared for our future. My husband is of Mexican descent and he bought into the whole “Mexico is a dangerous place.”
Comments from an old guy who's lived in Mexico for 26 years: YOU are exactly the image of an American that shows the rest of the world that not all Americans are fascist fools. You understand you are a guest here and are respectful of that and open to experience all of Mexico's beauty. Mexico and Mexicans will welcome you with open arms.
I’m so happy that you did say about what real Mexico 🇲🇽 is not what the media and politics say.. I’m Mexican from Guanajuato living in Austin Texas.. enjoy the great culture,food and the love of the people 🙏🏼
The advice a Mexican friend gave me when we first went to Mexico was, "Stay out tourist areas." If you go to eat and all you see is foreigners, don't eat there. Shop markets that the tourists never go or don't know about. At that time I didn't speak but a few words of Spanish. Gracias and Por favor can get you a long way. Plus respect people, especially the elderly.
I’m happy that you going to Guanajuato I’m from gto.. it’s a beautiful state we have fields of strawberries 🍓 in Irapuato that the are the sweeter ones in the 🌎 world
This young lady is 100% on track. I speak Korean, some Japanese and German and one of the things I constantly told my soldiers was to try and learn some of the language. It changes everything.
i am watching your video from a small village in Asia, literally in love with your content, also, your voice is so calming and soothing. hope you have a great time in mexico.
You speak so highly of Mexico and it warms my heart. Was born and raised in US but have been living with my grandparents in Michoacán during the pandemic, now I’m realizing how sad life is in the US. Though life is definitely different in Mexico ( especially in rural areas) it’s definitely so much more comfortable than the US.
@@1EQUALS-INFINITY I’m going to CDMX for a month and then I’ll decide if I want to stay there or go somewhere new! Thanks for the recommendation, i’ll check it out.
@ Hunter Hagan don’t be scared of Mexico is a wonderful country with places amazing and the people is very friendly and they try to help every time 👍🏻 have a lot of culture and the food is incredibly!!! ... My advice is to you watch the videos the RUclipss living and loving Mexico 🇲🇽 and Mexico love them ❤️ look At Vagaboon...Ford ...wero wero tv...minu el coreano You understand many things about them... and my house is your house!!!🤟🏼
Thanks so much for saying that assuming that EVERYONE speaks English it's wrong and rude. A few days ago while in México a women started talking to me in English and I was not happy about it. People reading this, please be polite, if you go to a different speaking country than yours learn the basics, hi, bye, and ask: do you speak this or that language? before assuiming they do. EDIT: just finished watching your video and you are PLANT- BASED too yeiiiiii!!! subscribed already, last but not least, try using rice if you can't find cero humedad, whenever I drop my phone on water, I turn if off and soak it in a plate full or rice and it also absorbs the moisture really good ;) So glad to have amazing people like you in my country!
That’s a good point about plant based because not a lot of ppl realize that pre-colonial Mexican food was mostly plant base and protein from eating safe plant bugs 🐜 It’s also easy to find a lot of variety when it comes to fresh fruits and veggies at an affordable price compared to the states. Also the fact that in LA new things would pop up like when chia seeds were popular and in LA it was like expensive and an extra cost, well in Mexico we were using chia seeds before in Aguas Frescas for cheap. Sometimes things like this come from ppl who’ve travelled and are brining an idea back to their home and then just putting a big ticket price on it.
The book ‘Born to Run’ did a lot to bring chia seeds to Americans’ attention, too. It was the first time I’d heard of them, and was fascinated to learn about the Tarahumara. I’ve added chia to my bread, cereal, yogurt, etc for over ten years due to reading that book years ago! 😋
Thank you for this, we have 3 children ages 8, 6 and 3 and are truly worried about the influence of this country on them. The violence, the aggression, the willful ignorance, the xenophobia and racism, the rise of fascism, the constant drum beat of "we're #1" bullshit has become unbearable. We have been discussing the possibility of escaping to Mexico for awhile now and people like you are an inspiration.
In mexico, most people come from a conservative and traditional background. I also would like to mention that in mexican culture, we don’t get offended when people refer us based on our appearance (skin, facial features, hair color, body build) because we know that it is not an insult and is a way of indentifying someone you don’t really know. Btw, Mexico isn’t exactly a safe place you just have to know what not to do.
I have been fantasizing about moving to Mexico for the past ~2yrs or so and I feel it deep in my soul that it will come to fruition hopefully sooner rather than later. I’m blessed to have my Mex-American family background so I’m already set with the language and prior exposure to those social/national quirks that would otherwise lead to culture shock to anyone moving out starting from square one (or zero, negative etc.). That being said, I’ve never “lived” there per se longer than a small handful of extended vacations from way back during my childhood in between school years (no longer than ~6wks.). Seeing all these US to Mex expat RUclips channels has me absolutely convinced that my soul is nudging me in that direction. I truly envy anyone who has gone ahead and pulled the trigger. Nearly everyone of them seem to radiate this aura of contentment and happiness that practically doesn’t exist anymore in the US. It’s rather sad though honestly... The “American Dream” is slowly being replaced by “El Sueño Mexicano”. If you would have told my Mexican immigrant parents that one day their oldest son would be fantasizing about moving back to Mexico I think they would have spit their pozole all over your face. Good luck to you and all the other current and future US expats living abroad!
Mark, the pozole all over was hilarious. I also watch endless videos by expats living in MX looking to healthy and happy. I just retired and am going to do it. I am just having a hard time deciding on where, chapala, coastal Nayarit, Patzquaro, so many wonderful options
I would also love to! I'm thinking about studying there but worried about my financial status there. There aren't many good paying jobs to get me through my studies so I'm not sure what to do.
That was a very instructive video. I am a native Mexican/ naturalized US citizen for the last 30 years, and I am very happy the way you explained and portrait my native country. I am from Puerto Vallarta. Best of luck!
I didn't considered Mexico as one of the places that wanted to travel to but, now it is on my list! I'm from Florida and the islands and the humidity is part of my life haha I'm have to buy some of that Humaded 😂 Thanks for the advise Misako! P.s. My foot is healing and I am walking again!
I know they have a lot of killer in Mexico and cartel is real bad you don’t have do nothing and get kill and all your family members I live out there in1997 it was ok then I don’t know the food is so good I miss that been married for 26 years to Mexican they are good people you treat someone good than you get treated good stay out people that bad you be ok
@@matthewfriend59 yes, damp rid is a life saver! I live in a skoolie and it's saved my computer a few times while I got adjusted to things and worked out how to combat condensation.
Thank you for the tips on how to protect my electronics from a hot humid weather. I learn a lot from your videos every time l watch your RUclips videos, you are like a great teacher. I am a vegan and an afro American straight alpha male and retired us navy and US Marine and I plan to move to Mexico in 2022. Your videos are very helpful to me and I would like to thank you a thousand times more.
I just stumbled across your video and really did enjoy it. I too am an American expat and I’ve been living in Mexico for almost 4 months now and I’m very happy with the move and love Mexico. Everything you said about the country and it’s people is spot on. I’ve been in Puerto Vallarta and San Cristobal de las Casas and I recommend that you visit PV I’m sure you’d love it, but you might find San Cristobal a bit chilly and rainy coming from LA. I’m also a vegetarian and haven’t had any problems finding food that I like. Keep up the good work and maybe I’ll see you in PV one day!
Thank you for speaking positively about my country México! I been in LA for 40 years, never became a citizen because I always thought of going back. Now at 68, I am ready! God bless you.
Mexico is an amazing place. I’m originally from Jamaica 🇯🇲- and every time I go to Mexico I feel like I’m at home. The people are great and the food is fantastic. What’s not to love about it…I’m planning to buy my chill spot there in the near future.
I love to see this videos, I'm very proud to be Mexican. I know we have a lot of things to fix, corruption and violence are very high, is not a fairytale and is dangerous even for us, however there's a lot of people fighting that. Our country is beautiful and we welcome every person that respects ad protects it.
@@marymendoza3592 it’s better to have a business because MX is very hard with worth ethnic & don’t get payed much. My family makes it to middles class with their own business. (My grandma had a clothing shop & my grandpa would sell stuff) it doesn’t always work out for everyone but my mom grew up with nanny’s & my grandma never had to cook.
Hey Misako, I really enjoy your videos. I am about to move to Mexico - starting in Merida. I think Mexico City looks incredible and would love to learn more about your experience there including the lifestyle and cost of living :) Thank you.
Good luck there! It's a beautiful city but really really hot, I grew up there and I love it,can't wait to go ❤️ make sure you visit the cenotes and magical towns nearby ❣️
Hi there. Love your video. We don’t live in Mexico, but as Canadians spend a lot of time there in the winter months. Last winter we travelled for two months across Yucatan on our bicycles. Especially love your tip about electronics. I parked my laptop underneath an AC unit in our hotel in Cancun. Bad idea. For a while I could only edit with a mouse. Next time I’ll remember your tip. New subscriber here 😉
This was great. I visited Mexico for the first time last year and the first thing my Mom asked was: "Aren't you going to get kidnapped?" I said no. My dad clapped back and said [She speaks spanish]. I enjoyed my time more in CDMX than Tulu. Thank you!
¡He pasado unos meses en México, sobre todo en la costa de Oaxaca....y sí...también puedo decir que la gente mexicana es totalmente amable, generosa y amistosa! Nunca he tenido una mala experiencia con ningún mexicano :)
May God always be with you. Mexiko is awesome -- totally agree. I've been there a few times and leave the country with the spirit to always come back. I dont know what it is but when away I miss the culture, food, people so much. Best regards and Cheers.
Tengo una preguna que tambien quisiera vivir alla como Americano ya hablo el espanol con fluidez pero el problema es que no tengo ni un idea do lo que quiero hacer por un trabajo? No me gradue de la unviersidad ni me fui al collegio lo unico que se es hablar dos idiomas pues supungo que no es cierto tambien tengo experiencia en trabajar en varias fabricas y tiendas pero necesito unos consejos.
Thanks for making this video. My family came from Mexico over 150 years ago and my fiance and I have decided to move there. We spent spent time in Barcelona and want to try Mexico just so we're closer to family in AZ. Super excited to hear about the vast vegan options!
Alright! I just found your channel and it’s encouraging. I’ve been to many places in Mexico and lived there a few time during the summers. I can definitely say, I absolutely have never had any problems. Nothing but people going out of their way to help me. Same experience in Honduras. 🙌🏾

Thanks Misako for breaking down the stereotypes of Mexico and helping building bridges between cultures and nations. By the way, you are glowing Misako. It shows how your soul is healing.
Thanks so much for sharing sistar🧚🏽♀️ I am from NY and am planning to move to Mexico. I am going to watch more of your videos. I am trying to see what city to start in as a musician..any thoughts?
Thank you for actually giving tangible answers to living in Mexico. You gave more advice in one 11-minute video than another girl in all of her 13 vids of moving to Mexico. Now she's trying to start a consulting agency to move to Merida where she just gives you really surface answers.
I liked your tip about the humidity and electronics. I am considering a move and have visited (SMA, which is inland and arid), but have not heard anyone speak about that particular aspect. And yes, I learned even going to Europe that propaganda does exist. People base their viewpoints on hearsay, personal experience- which is sometimes bad, and other things. If you visit a place and you encounter some bad drivers or have a bad experience then the tendency is to say the entire region or state or maybe even COUNTRY has bad drivers!... And it goes both ways. I enjoyed my visit but I did not find the Mexican people any more warm and friendly than other places. And even where I live now in the U.S. some areas people are more friendly than others, generally speaking. There is good and bad everywhere. And there are unsafe places and circumstances in Mexico unique to Mexico...but agreed, the extent of it has no doubt been exaggerated. I think the scariest thing to overcome is our fear of ourselves and taking a step that is a leap into the unknown. But- "it's what you DONT do that you regret" right?
There isn’t much I can say expect, thank you for your valuable insights for those of us who are “on our way”. Keep up the wonderful content. Health and happiness to you... and all...
Omg! Everything you mentioned about the culture in Mexico! We see eye to eye on everything you talked about. No one else had discussed humidity/electronics. Thanks so much for that tidbit! I hadn’t considered that.
yeah, in the rain season is a good idea after a very strong rain to do what she recommends, im Mexican and some electronics stop working, after a hurricane or big tropical storm and it rains for days.
So happy I found you! I’m preparing for a move to the Nayarit region of Mexico this summer. I’m also vegan. I really appreciate you making these videos!
I visited Mexico City for the first time this past November and it was amazing. I couldn’t agree with you more about the perception Americans have about the country as a whole. I found the elevation in CDMX hard to adjust to, I was winded all the time and a little lethargic. Anyways so happy you are exploring and living life on your terms. Cheers to you and Happy New Year. P.S I was thinking of getting a place in Mexico City part time. I’d love to see more content on best neighborhoods to live in as an expat. I’ve researched certain areas, but you are there now so I’d definitely value your opinion.
Your skin is really beautiful !!! 😍😍 if you live in playa del carmen you have a lot of humidity because it is the coast maybe that is the reason and you have to take care of your computer ... you are very kind to tell the rest of the world that we are not criminals and we love all the people who come here !!! here everyone is welcome !!! ❤️ with all my heart thank you
The #1 best tip I got from your video is about that product for protecting your electronics. Thank you!!!! Seriously. I’m planning to move to Merida…. Talk about humid. Keeps getting postponed, but possibly after the holidays. Been doing tons of research for the past year, and have some favourite bloggers I follow with loads of great tips, but never heard about this great tip for the electronics, so again, thank you. I bought my first brand new laptop in my life, always got hand-me-downs before, and that would freak me out if it stopped working randomly & there’s a good preventative, or after, solution.
Wow lovely video thank you ! Where exactly are you living in Mexico !?Im from Spain and want to move to Mexico with my whole familia y since the restrictions here are ridiculous! Abrazos y besos

Thank you misoko, you are amazing. I feel like you covered all the good topics and details! I appreciate everything you do, from learning the language to sharing how amazing life is as an expat in MX!
There is a term for how Americans think the U.S. is the center of the world and everyone should learn English. It's called egocentrism. Here around Houston, the majority of my friends are Latin. Even if you speak broken, half-azz Spanish, Latin people appreciate the effort and will embrace you...
This video was really helpful! Thanks for sharing your experience with on the ground knowledge of things we may not have thought about. Are you going to share your experience with Mexico City? Other travels in Mexico? I also loved your last question and answer with other expats.
Excellent tip on the humidity for your computer! I have been watching thousands of videos about moving and living in Mexico. You are the first one with this tip!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I'm super inspired by your words and definitely contemplating moving down to Mexico City sometime in 2021. I'd love to learn about what you're doing for healthcare down in Mexico.
"The adjustments" (becoming fluent in Spanish, the humidity, the air quality, etc.) it's why I chose San Jose del Cabo. The trade-off is affordability 🥺 My home here was WAAAAAY more expensive than my home in Atlanta. HOWEVER if you're cool renting it out (Airbnb, VRBO, etc) for the 1st 10 to 12 years of ownership, the price really isn't an issue because your renters will pay your mortgage off. Then, it's all yours 😊
One thing that not everyone talks about it, but I have noticed because I am mexican, is if you are planning to move out here permanently and you are black, asian, hindi, or different from white and moreno the people will stare at you because we are not used to see different people, Mexico is not as homegenous as Japan , but is weird mostly in small cities and towns to see black or asian people. Is not a bad thing, in fact been different is going to attract people to be friend of you, if you are willing to learn spanish, you will make a lot of good friends. Welcome to México.
So, this is the video that led me to your channel. I immediately subscribed for the honesty and sincerity that comes screaming through. I've spent quite a bit of time in Mexico and had to work past the preconceptions (and lies) about the country. It is a wonderful country with wonderful people. I am deeply ashamed of the rhetoric of the past four years (in particular.) I've never been treated with anything but kindness and generosity when I've traveled in the country. Really nice video. Thank you.
First thing everyone should know, América is a continent not a country, Americans are all from Alaska to Argentina, not only those born in the United States
I follow you on TikTok and am so happy I found your youtube! Omg the plant based eating portion of this video was my fav but this entire video was soooo informative. Literally loved every minute of it. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us!
Hi beautiful!! I’m so happy that you enjoyed the video and thank you for taking the time to watch, and comment! 💕💕💕 I appreciate your positive energy and support🙏🏽 Thank you for the motivation to keep going!
Do you remember me? You said you'd be my first subscriber when I told u I wanted to move to Paris. But guess what? Turns out I am going to Mexico City insted, and I'd love to hang around with you there if you want too :)
What a wonderful Video!!! I agree completely with everything you mentioned & spoke about. We feel completely safe living here in Mexico on a full time basis. We have lived here almost 5 years now and we have no intention of ever returning back to the U.S.A. I also appreciate very much the info you gave about your computer & what you need to do to protect it if one encounters the same issues. Please continue to enjoy your time living here in Mexico!
I’m moving to Puerto Vallarta with family in a few months, we’ve already found a house, it’s in the hills of 5 de deciembre and the view is just amazing. Can’t wait to get down there.
Thank you for this beautiful and informative video. So glad to hear you mention that people from the U.S. are NOT the center of the world. It’s about embracing the culture which includes learning the language. I am a Native Hawaiian so fortunately I was not brainwashed to believe that Mexico is dangerous and the other terrible things the government says about Mexico. My husband and I are looking to move to Mexico within the next year so any information from people who have just moved there is helpful.
Thank you for this video. I'm about to spend 10 days in Merida for the first time to try it out. I'm considering moving to Mexico in about a year. So your advice and love for Mexico is enlightening and contagious. You are beautiful, too!
What a wonderful attitude. I've fallen in love with Mexico and am moving to a small village this coming November. What you said about the Mexican people is spot on. Some of the kindest, most hard-working and honest people I've ever met. Practicing Spanish everyday!❤
Thank you for this video, it was extremely helpful (I had no idea about the electronics 😳)! My job (software engineering) has been remote since covid and our company may potentially allow for our team to work permanently from home, and I also need a break from the USA. And I was surprised by the amount of vegan friendly places in Mexico during my visit (I did have some trouble some smaller towns but probably just didn't know where to look). Have you been to Por Siempre in CDMX? 😍 Also great tip about the Spanish, even if you only know a little bit, locals seriously appreciate the attempt, and it goes a long way.
I really appreciate your comments about the safety. It's true, we're inundated in the states with overhyped media talking about how unsafe Mexico is and those headlines were really turning me off to moving there when we retire in a couple of years. I feel much better now. I know not every place is safe-not every place in the US is safe, either-but it's reassuring to hear from someone with "boots on the ground" that the overwhelm of negative press is overhyped. THANK YOU.

Yep. People are always asking me "Are you safe in Mexico? Is it safe to go there?". Yes it's safe. It's wonderful. The people are amazing. One thing you notice which is completely contrary to the media's view of Mexico is that every single Mexican I've met works their butt off. They are the hardest working people I've ever met. And the food. OMG!
Well, it also depends on what parts of Mexico. My family is from Guanajuato and they are in a cartel controlled area, they are the bosses there. Which is why I haven't visited in over a decade.
@@sierra00990 jajaja your funny, i been in Mexico for 30 days in the city of Uruapan, Michoacán that is worst than Guanajuato.

Now, that does not mean you should go to to other places, with a different language, and just start speaking English like they had the obligation of knowing it. It's their country. Many Americans live in countries like Spain, Greece, Portugal (I know these better) just fine without knowing these countries languages, either because they socialize mostly with expats, because many services etc. have paperwork in English, and English speaking people, because many national citizens speak English, etc.
But that doesn't mean you should expect that everybody in their own country has to learn a foreign language.
If China becomes dominant, would you learn Chinese living in your own country?
Very true!
@@eduardoserrao7372 I have also been in those countries and obviously if everyone did what they are suppose to do, the world would be a different place. Unfortunately, they don't for a variety of reasons. The point I was making is that this is obviously not simply an American issue. Many people go to other countries and do not remain there long enough to learn the language. There are many, who live in a country a lifetime, and still do not know the language as many Mexican citizens in the US do. Of course you will start speaking English in Greece, Spain, or wherever when it is the only language you speak! It is not simply an American issue. I am always greatful to find someone who speaks English, but I have lived in places where they don't. I had a driver in Cambodia, who took me to work every day and neither one of us understood each other! (Yo hablo, escribo, y puedo leer en Espanol. No es motivo para criticar a todos aquellos que no pueden.)
@@roadrunner123 OK, you are nice person, by the way.
We don't fundamentally desagree, I think. I don't think Americans should think of learning languages or not. We, the rest of the world, let's say, don't have the right to expect that. And, yes, it's not only an American issue.
Of course English is very useful, and the world should even be thankful for that. I am, and I wish I could improve my own English, actually.
What I think I was trying to say is that sometimes it feels like is supposed to be a perennial institution all over the world.
That it should be law.
Maybe I'm being unjust, unfair.
Off course many Americans care about other cultures, but even if they don't, is their right, I have nothing against them.
Americans are a easy target in this regard (by the way, I generally like Americans and the US) , I guess I should have focused more in English itself and the perception about its (supposed) status and perception of it, even if it is no one fault, specifically.
Just an example to clarify all of this: in my country there is a region of great turístic tradition. I sometimes follow English speaking forums, channels, etc., and sometimes people express their disappointment and resentment if in other regions restaurants etc. don't display things in English, and specifically so if that would happen in that region.
Of course English is good for the restaurants themselves (in a way, we are to blame for it too, so to say) and I recognize and appreciate that, but, is like people never seem to have the curiosity or the need of wonder to really immerse in "authentic things". I know this is cliché, but culture and identity are not just "pitoresc features of the natives". It's us, our sense of ourselves.
Sometimes I go to that part of my country, and is mixed feelings: it's great for the economy and even for us to learn from other cultures, but to see the food you grew up with adulterated - in the name and the food itself, I mean, everything is so fake, so superficial.
And yet, thanks to that, the community and, in some way, the traditions overall can survive better.
So, I think it is just the way things are. It brings more good than evil, in the end, but specially so if we are able to think criticaly and be aware of this reality.

This was a needed video. My husband and I (okay, more I) am seriously thinking about moving to Mexico. With this second reign of terror, I genuinely scared for our future. My husband is of Mexican descent and he bought into the whole “Mexico is a dangerous place.”
Comments from an old guy who's lived in Mexico for 26 years: YOU are exactly the image of an American that shows the rest of the world that not all Americans are fascist fools. You understand you are a guest here and are respectful of that and open to experience all of Mexico's beauty. Mexico and Mexicans will welcome you with open arms.
I’m so happy that you did say about what real Mexico 🇲🇽 is not what the media and politics say.. I’m Mexican from Guanajuato living in Austin Texas.. enjoy the great culture,food and the love of the people 🙏🏼

The advice a Mexican friend gave me when we first went to Mexico was, "Stay out tourist areas." If you go to eat and all you see is foreigners, don't eat there. Shop markets that the tourists never go or don't know about.
At that time I didn't speak but a few words of Spanish. Gracias and Por favor can get you a long way. Plus respect people, especially the elderly.

This young lady is 100% on track. I speak Korean, some Japanese and German and one of the things I constantly told my soldiers was to try and learn some of the language. It changes everything.
i am watching your video from a small village in Asia, literally in love with your content, also, your voice is so calming and soothing.
hope you have a great time in mexico.
True. Her voice lowers my blood pressure. It's the opposite of when I watch American news...lol
You speak so highly of Mexico and it warms my heart. Was born and raised in US but have been living with my grandparents in Michoacán during the pandemic, now I’m realizing how sad life is in the US. Though life is definitely different in Mexico ( especially in rural areas) it’s definitely so much more comfortable than the US.
💕🤗 Very important to get connected with your roots. Happy for you!
Don’t come back stay there your safer
And look for Jesus if you haven’t
Why is it more comfortable? I'm trying to get a perspective because I'm thinking of moving to Mexico
People only move to USA for pay then when they are older they leave lol

You understand many things about them... and my house is your house!!!🤟🏼
Welcome to México wey
Thanks so much for saying that assuming that EVERYONE speaks English it's wrong and rude. A few days ago while in México a women started talking to me in English and I was not happy about it. People reading this, please be polite, if you go to a different speaking country than yours learn the basics, hi, bye, and ask: do you speak this or that language? before assuiming they do.
EDIT: just finished watching your video and you are PLANT- BASED too yeiiiiii!!! subscribed already, last but not least, try using rice if you can't find cero humedad, whenever I drop my phone on water, I turn if off and soak it in a plate full or rice and it also absorbs the moisture really good ;) So glad to have amazing people like you in my country!
I'd LOVE to see what plant based restaurants you go to and maybe like a market shopping haul, what groceries you buy in a week or something like that!
You are such a beautiful person!! Thank you so much for coming to México! We love you
That’s a good point about plant based because not a lot of ppl realize that pre-colonial Mexican food was mostly plant base and protein from eating safe plant bugs 🐜 It’s also easy to find a lot of variety when it comes to fresh fruits and veggies at an affordable price compared to the states. Also the fact that in LA new things would pop up like when chia seeds were popular and in LA it was like expensive and an extra cost, well in Mexico we were using chia seeds before in Aguas Frescas for cheap. Sometimes things like this come from ppl who’ve travelled and are brining an idea back to their home and then just putting a big ticket price on it.
The book ‘Born to Run’ did a lot to bring chia seeds to Americans’ attention, too. It was the first time I’d heard of them, and was fascinated to learn about the Tarahumara. I’ve added chia to my bread, cereal, yogurt, etc for over ten years due to reading that book years ago! 😋
Why is produce so expensive in the US?
I´ve always found that odd.
Bienvenida a Mexico! We appreciate you and welcome everyone from around the world with open arms. Y'all have amigos in Mexico!😃
I had to pause the video and clap at the Americans/brits needing to learn Spanish and not expect locals to learn English 😭👏🏼 so true ❤️
Thank you for this, we have 3 children ages 8, 6 and 3 and are truly worried about the influence of this country on them. The violence, the aggression, the willful ignorance, the xenophobia and racism, the rise of fascism, the constant drum beat of "we're #1" bullshit has become unbearable. We have been discussing the possibility of escaping to Mexico for awhile now and people like you are an inspiration.
Sí!!! Vengan a gentrificar a México y a desplazar a los locales 😍😍😍
Mexico is great. In Mexico people believe in total freedom and very very limited government. It’s one of the best countries on earth.
In mexico, most people come from a conservative and traditional background. I also would like to mention that in mexican culture, we don’t get offended when people refer us based on our appearance (skin, facial features, hair color, body build) because we know that it is not an insult and is a way of indentifying someone you don’t really know. Btw, Mexico isn’t exactly a safe place you just have to know what not to do.
@@truthvigilante2180 it wasn't "free" or safe when I was there last winter, obedient sheep everywhere and ignorance
Son bienvenidos
You aré wellcome
I have been fantasizing about moving to Mexico for the past ~2yrs or so and I feel it deep in my soul that it will come to fruition hopefully sooner rather than later. I’m blessed to have my Mex-American family background so I’m already set with the language and prior exposure to those social/national quirks that would otherwise lead to culture shock to anyone moving out starting from square one (or zero, negative etc.). That being said, I’ve never “lived” there per se longer than a small handful of extended vacations from way back during my childhood in between school years (no longer than ~6wks.). Seeing all these US to Mex expat RUclips channels has me absolutely convinced that my soul is nudging me in that direction. I truly envy anyone who has gone ahead and pulled the trigger. Nearly everyone of them seem to radiate this aura of contentment and happiness that practically doesn’t exist anymore in the US. It’s rather sad though honestly... The “American Dream” is slowly being replaced by “El Sueño Mexicano”. If you would have told my Mexican immigrant parents that one day their oldest son would be fantasizing about moving back to Mexico I think they would have spit their pozole all over your face. Good luck to you and all the other current and future US expats living abroad!
Chicano hear and after visiting Mexico in 2021, I decided I will leave here someday.
Blessings !
Mark, the pozole all over was hilarious. I also watch endless videos by expats living in MX looking to healthy and happy. I just retired and am going to do it. I am just having a hard time deciding on where, chapala, coastal Nayarit, Patzquaro, so many wonderful options
@@melaniesmith3954 I guess you could live in your car and move around?
I would also love to! I'm thinking about studying there but worried about my financial status there. There aren't many good paying jobs to get me through my studies so I'm not sure what to do.
That was a very instructive video. I am a native Mexican/ naturalized US citizen for the last 30 years, and I am very happy the way you explained and portrait my native country. I am from Puerto Vallarta. Best of luck!
I didn't considered Mexico as one of the places that wanted to travel to but, now it is on my list! I'm from Florida and the islands and the humidity is part of my life haha I'm have to buy some of that Humaded 😂 Thanks for the advise Misako! P.s. My foot is healing and I am walking again!

I just stumbled across your video and really did enjoy it. I too am an American expat and I’ve been living in Mexico for almost 4 months now and I’m very happy with the move and love Mexico. Everything you said about the country and it’s people is spot on. I’ve been in Puerto Vallarta and San Cristobal de las Casas and I recommend that you visit PV I’m sure you’d love it, but you might find San Cristobal a bit chilly and rainy coming from LA. I’m also a vegetarian and haven’t had any problems finding food that I like. Keep up the good work and maybe I’ll see you in PV one day!
Thank you for speaking positively about my country México! I been in LA for 40 years, never became a citizen because I always thought of going back. Now at 68, I am ready! God bless you.
Mexico is an amazing place. I’m originally from Jamaica 🇯🇲- and every time I go to Mexico I feel like I’m at home. The people are great and the food is fantastic. What’s not to love about it…I’m planning to buy my chill spot there in the near future.
I love to see this videos, I'm very proud to be Mexican. I know we have a lot of things to fix, corruption and violence are very high, is not a fairytale and is dangerous even for us, however there's a lot of people fighting that. Our country is beautiful and we welcome every person that respects ad protects it.
Thank you!! I’m planning to move to Mexico next month I’m excited !!!! To new beginnings💜
Well wishes x hope it’s going well!
How did you do it? Income wise? How are you going to financially support yourself in Mexico? I really want to move there 🥺
Which part did you move to if i may inquire?

Hi there. Love your video. We don’t live in Mexico, but as Canadians spend a lot of time there in the winter months. Last winter we travelled for two months across Yucatan on our bicycles. Especially love your tip about electronics. I parked my laptop underneath an AC unit in our hotel in Cancun. Bad idea. For a while I could only edit with a mouse. Next time I’ll remember your tip.

Could you do a video on Mexico City specifically? These vids have been so helpful!
Great video! Thank you for sharing. I’ll be moving to Mexico for a year with my bae and 3yo son. Playa del Carmen is our first stop.
This was great. I visited Mexico for the first time last year and the first thing my Mom asked was: "Aren't you going to get kidnapped?" I said no. My dad clapped back and said [She speaks spanish]. I enjoyed my time more in CDMX than Tulu. Thank you!
I think it's great you're trying different cities in Mexico. I absolutely love Mexico City. The museums and food are fabulous!
The kidnappings and extortion
cero humedad is like damp rid in the US. definitely helpful when living in smaller and humid places.
Yes! Damp Arid is huge among the Camper Van, Trailer, and RV community!
Yep, I use this stuff in my basement - really helps with the moisture and the damp smell!

I’m 27 and thinking about moving from the US to Mexico. I love the Maya Rivera! How was Puerto Escondido? It’s on my bucket list
I’m moving to Mexico in February. Thank you for such great informative videos.
I liked your tip about the humidity and electronics. I am considering a move and have visited (SMA, which is inland and arid), but have not heard anyone speak about that particular aspect. And yes, I learned even going to Europe that propaganda does exist. People base their viewpoints on hearsay, personal experience- which is sometimes bad, and other things. If you visit a place and you encounter some bad drivers or have a bad experience then the tendency is to say the entire region or state or maybe even COUNTRY has bad drivers!...
And it goes both ways. I enjoyed my visit but I did not find the Mexican people any more warm and friendly than other places. And even where I live now in the U.S. some areas people are more friendly than others, generally speaking. There is good and bad everywhere. And there are unsafe places and circumstances in Mexico unique to Mexico...but agreed, the extent of it has no doubt been exaggerated. I think the scariest thing to overcome is our fear of ourselves and taking a step that is a leap into the unknown. But- "it's what you DONT do that you regret" right?
There isn’t much I can say expect, thank you for your valuable insights for those of us who are “on our way”. Keep up the wonderful content. Health and happiness to you... and all...
i luv ur voice and ur kindness talking about mexico, people like you its always welcome here! nice channel
Omg! Everything you mentioned about the culture in Mexico! We see eye to eye on everything you talked about. No one else had discussed humidity/electronics. Thanks so much for that tidbit! I hadn’t considered that.
yeah, in the rain season is a good idea after a very strong rain to do what she recommends, im Mexican and some electronics stop working, after a hurricane or big tropical storm and it rains for days.
Thank you for spreading such loving words of Mexico. I’m so glad you’ve found home in Mexico❤️
So happy I found you! I’m preparing for a move to the Nayarit region of Mexico this summer. I’m also vegan. I really appreciate you making these videos!
You are so right on. I have been to Carbo, PV, Istapa, Cancun, Lake Chapala and I have met the nicest people from Mexico.
I visited Mexico City for the first time this past November and it was amazing. I couldn’t agree with you more about the perception Americans have about the country as a whole. I found the elevation in CDMX hard to adjust to, I was winded all the time and a little lethargic. Anyways so happy you are exploring and living life on your terms. Cheers to you and Happy New Year. P.S I was thinking of getting a place in Mexico City part time. I’d love to see more content on best neighborhoods to live in as an expat. I’ve researched certain areas, but you are there now so I’d definitely value your opinion.

The #1 best tip I got from your video is about that product for protecting your electronics. Thank you!!!! Seriously. I’m planning to move to Merida…. Talk about humid.

There is a term for how Americans think the U.S. is the center of the world and everyone should learn English. It's called egocentrism. Here around Houston, the majority of my friends are Latin. Even if you speak broken, half-azz Spanish, Latin people appreciate the effort and will embrace you...
This video was really helpful! Thanks for sharing your experience with on the ground knowledge of things we may not have thought about. Are you going to share your experience with Mexico City? Other travels in Mexico? I also loved your last question and answer with other expats.
Excellent tip on the humidity for your computer! I have been watching thousands of videos about moving and living in Mexico. You are the first one with this tip!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I'm super inspired by your words and definitely contemplating moving down to Mexico City sometime in 2021. I'd love to learn about what you're doing for healthcare down in Mexico.
I am dreaming for living in Mexico one day... thank you for sharing and greeting from Germany 🇩🇪
"The adjustments" (becoming fluent in Spanish, the humidity, the air quality, etc.) it's why I chose San Jose del Cabo.
The trade-off is affordability 🥺
My home here was WAAAAAY more expensive than my home in Atlanta. HOWEVER if you're cool renting it out (Airbnb, VRBO, etc) for the 1st 10 to 12 years of ownership, the price really isn't an issue because your renters will pay your mortgage off.
Then, it's all yours 😊
One thing that not everyone talks about it, but I have noticed because I am mexican, is if you are planning to move out here permanently and you are black, asian, hindi, or different from white and moreno the people will stare at you because we are not used to see different people, Mexico is not as homegenous as Japan , but is weird mostly in small cities and towns to see black or asian people. Is not a bad thing, in fact been different is going to attract people to be friend of you, if you are willing to learn spanish, you will make a lot of good friends. Welcome to México.
Such a helpful vid! Would love to see a more content on eating/shopping plant-based in Mexico
Yes this!
So, this is the video that led me to your channel. I immediately subscribed for the honesty and sincerity that comes screaming through. I've spent quite a bit of time in Mexico and had to work past the preconceptions (and lies) about the country. It is a wonderful country with wonderful people. I am deeply ashamed of the rhetoric of the past four years (in particular.) I've never been treated with anything but kindness and generosity when I've traveled in the country. Really nice video. Thank you.
First thing everyone should know, América is a continent not a country, Americans are all from Alaska to Argentina, not only those born in the United States
I follow you on TikTok and am so happy I found your youtube! Omg the plant based eating portion of this video was my fav but this entire video was soooo informative. Literally loved every minute of it. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us!

Do you remember me? You said you'd be my first subscriber when I told u I wanted to move to Paris. But guess what? Turns out I am going to Mexico City insted, and I'd love to hang around with you there if you want too :)
What a wonderful Video!!! I agree completely with everything you mentioned & spoke about. We feel completely safe living here in Mexico on a full time basis.
We have lived here almost 5 years now and we have no intention of ever returning back to the U.S.A. I also appreciate very much the info you gave about your computer & what you need to do to protect it if one encounters the same issues. Please continue to enjoy your time living here in Mexico!
Well majority of fruits and vegetables come from mexico.
I’m moving to Puerto Vallarta with family in a few months, we’ve already found a house, it’s in the hills of 5 de deciembre and the view is just amazing. Can’t wait to get down there.
As soon as I get SSI... I can't wait!!!! I am moving to Mexico!!!😁🤗🎉
I'm happy u feel happy living in Mexico. I m from the U.S and lived in Mexico since 2004,, it's different but in a good way.
Thank you for this beautiful and informative video. So glad to hear you mention that people from the U.S. are NOT the center of the world. It’s about embracing the culture which includes learning the language. I am a Native Hawaiian so fortunately I was not brainwashed to believe that Mexico is dangerous and the other terrible things the government says about Mexico.
My husband and I are looking to move to Mexico within the next year so any information from people who have just moved there is helpful.
Thank you for this video. I'm about to spend 10 days in Merida for the first time to try it out. I'm considering moving to Mexico in about a year. So your advice and love for Mexico is enlightening and contagious. You are beautiful, too!
This was an interesting video, very informative. I'm glad I pressed play.
What a wonderful attitude. I've fallen in love with Mexico and am moving to a small village this coming November. What you said about the Mexican people is spot on. Some of the kindest, most hard-working and honest people I've ever met. Practicing Spanish everyday!❤
Thank you for this video, it was extremely helpful (I had no idea about the electronics 😳)! My job (software engineering) has been remote since covid and our company may potentially allow for our team to work permanently from home, and I also need a break from the USA. And I was surprised by the amount of vegan friendly places in Mexico during my visit (I did have some trouble some smaller towns but probably just didn't know where to look). Have you been to Por Siempre in CDMX? 😍 Also great tip about the Spanish, even if you only know a little bit, locals seriously appreciate the attempt, and it goes a long way.
I really appreciate your comments about the safety. It's true, we're inundated in the states with overhyped media talking about how unsafe Mexico is and those headlines were really turning me off to moving there when we retire in a couple of years. I feel much better now. I know not every place is safe-not every place in the US is safe, either-but it's reassuring to hear from someone with "boots on the ground" that the overwhelm of negative press is overhyped. THANK YOU.
