They preach being lovely but their indigenous people and countrymen get disrespected, talk I'll behind their back. I've seen these mexicans, also say it is culture to speak double meaning sentences preaching and involving sexuality you cannot longer speak normal since there's always any sexual meaning behind it, these guys take life too lightly plus if you trynna speak proper Spanish, these folks laugh and mock at you badly. They lack the respect americans have to spare.

    Re: the kindness of strangers. My wife and I (both 70) were on our 3rd trip to Mexico, exploring the mountains of Veracruz. We visited a place called Nace el Agua. It was very hot, much more strenuous than we anticipated, and to top it off, I forgot to bring a hat. The young man and woman who were apparently in charge of the place could tell we were struggling and were immediately on the case. They opened a restaurant early, got us food, and kept an eye on us while we explored Nace el Agua. Their concern and kindness was 100% genuine, not just 'part of the job'. I'll never forget it.

      @@sabinoluevano7447Don’t be so judgmental. Many don’t have the choice nor the funds to care for their elderly or sadly the time/effort necessary to care for a loved one. I’m a Mexican transplant of many years. Both my parents died before they needed assistance. But their care was always in the back of my mind. As a busy attorney practicing with my attorney husband not to mention two children and a household to care for, their care was always in the back of my mind. Our family in Mexico live in about a 10 mile radius. The closest family members here live 400 miles away. It is just different. It is just hard regardless of best intention.

      Unfortunately that is how the news media work. They'll pick the worst aspects of a city and present it as if the entire city is a horrible place to live. I see it with Detroit, Chicago and others.
      It's the same with the homeless encampments in San Francisco. Certain groups enjoy presenting the homeless encampments in San Francisco as if the entire city is covered with them. and that there are only small islands where the homeless aren't around. Huge amounts of people have left. The homeless are concentrated in a couple of certain areas. Some people have left. But the demand for housing is still high as the prices haven't fallen a huge amount. It's still one of the more expensive cities to rent or buy a home in.

    I traveled through Mexico with my son when he turned 16. We took a train from Nuevo Laredo to Mexico City then bussed south to Belize. When the train stopped in a remote city for an unannounced 4 hour layover I later found out many of the train’s employees, engineer, coachman, had family in that town and wanted some family time. I’m now 74 and am preparing to sell my home to move to Mexico.

I met my husband while on a summer program with my university, and after 2 years of letter writing and visiting back and forth we got married , raised our family and are now retiring and enjoying our granddaughter. Our kids had an amazing education here. We have an architect, a UNICEF director, and a psychologist/translator. Mexico is a relatively unknown treasure, probably because of the bad publicity. But it is a lovely place to live!!!...Also the private healthcare is the best with great doctors and affordable prices.

      @@britanyfitzgerald5061 I have heard their private medical care system is so reasonable that even if you just pay cash it's 1/16th the cost of American medicine far more personally tailored. Example is doctors will come to you, and you can call them they call you ask how you are doing. It reminds me of medical care in the 1970's here in the US could get into a doctor office same day, and the doctor actually called you at home check on you. It's worse then ever now my wife having some back issues I can't believe how bad it's gotten here. 100 to 1 doctor patient ratios can't even speak to a doctor for more then 10 minutes all about money. I pay $375 a month out of my check for my wife and I for Cigna with a $3000 deductible. They denied her MRI and we had to pay $500 cash none of that went to the deductible. My employer was suppose to pay 1/2 the deductible that was 5 years ago now they only pay 1/4. Meds are now part of the deductible I don't even use my insurance for medicine I use good RX free online discount program. My employer is paying $250 a month were paying $600 a month for insurance mostly just a discount program.

She was divorced and escaping from the "US way of life". We grew up toghether, they were open to all the experience, secundaria, prepa, and public universities, they eventually became part of the gang. These guys became my long life friends, both became normal happy persons married and with children. Their mom healed and eventually met a good man. Wasnt easy, wasnt express, but life opens in its own particular ways. Mexico is mostly, what you make of it.

    I have had similar experiences and just overall feelings. I go camping often and typically travel by motorcycle and Mexicans are kind throughout the country. I have never received a no when asking to camp on land. And almost always it ends up being something more, w offers of food and drink, sometimes a shower but always a place to wash your hands and face.
    What really registers in your deep subconscious is that no matter how little people have in Mexico they are generous to a fault. I like your video and also enjoy pretty cities and small towns, but I have had great experiences in the middle of nowhere, which is 90% of Mexico, just natural beauty

    Aside from being happy, I believe your weight loss is also attributed to the fresh, hormone and preservative free food in Mexico. Every time I go vacation there, I lose weight even though I eat more there than I do in the United States. Plus, one tends to walk more there, too.

I read some stories about Ajijic so I decided to visit here and boy did I fall in love! The flowers, the lake, the mountains were all it took to convince me to move here for my retirement! Added to this is the community of retired Americans and Canadians who offered support and advice on living here! There are a myriad of activities to keep you active and interested plus wonderful restaurants and spiritual groups of all denominations and even some for those with no religious beliefs! The tranquility will add years of stress free living to your life! Bienvenida y muchos años de felicidad y bienestar!

    Mora thank you so much for this wonderful video! I am also a RN and I have 7 more years left to retire but I am constantly thinking about selling my home here in California, taking my proceeds and my other savings and retiring early in Mexico! I have been watching many videos for many months and narrowed it down to 5 possible cities I might enjoy to live permanently. Part of me feels so stuck because of the amount of money I make and I feel so afraid to walk away knowing if I leave California, I’ll never be able to return to buy again as I would not be able to afford today what I bought 12 years ago . I also feel that I could just rent out my home while I live in Mexico to see if I’d like it and get a home job. I totally understand the stress and exhaustion from nursing. Thank you for this very inspiring video!

      So we decided to sell.

      We sold fast and left California June 14th. Arrived in Merida to our Airbnb.

For some reason U.S. officials dont want Americans moving to Mexico, and is not the violence. I've experienced more violence in the U,S and none in Mexico. So far so good.
