"A lot of people think retirement means you're not working at all, and if you are working then you're not really retired," she says. "I only do work I love and I only do it when I want to."
On the cartels situation, that’s exactly right! You are not in that business, they are not messing with you. Also, there are hot beds of cartel activity in border states, they are NOT really present in CDMX, Puerto Vallarta, Lake Chapala, etc....they exist in the border states and in the mountains...clearly they have to do their work “undercover.” Ana YES, I feel safer in Mexico City than MOST U.S. cities. 🤷🏻♀️
I've lived in Mexico for a few years, and here are a couple of additional tips to add to the useful tips in your video. Probably number one, really, when moving to Mexico City or visiting is to learn how politeness works there (and everywhere in Mexico). You will need help from local people, you will need their patience, and your enjoyment of the city will depend on the kindness of strangers. If we are polite the Mexican way, that goes a long way towards being accepted as a respectful person. It's not difficult. Greet people first, before anything else, when you go into a store, or a restaurant, or an uber, or even when you stop someone on the street to ask directions - "Hola, buenos dias" before noon, "hola, buenas tardes" noon to dusk, then "hola, buenas noches" during the night. They will greet you too, perhaps in a condensed form like "buenas" or "buen dia". Use "por favor" or "porfa" to say please when you make a request, any request. And then "gracias" or "muchas gracias" to thank people. Those few things will make a huge difference in how you're treated. Be MUCH more polite than you would be in many US cities, where just a friendly tone of voice is often enough. In Mexico - no, say the words, wait for them to greet you back before going any further, and keep your tone of voice friendly too. You'll be treated MUCH better than if you don't. It doesn't matter if the locals where you are in Mexico are more casual - you are not a local, and need to show respect the Mexican way, especially since there are too many rude gringos in Mexico. You don't want to be seen as one of them. And, contrary to what we learned in school, and contrary to most phrase books, don't say "yo quiero" (kee er o) - I want - in most situations. Say "quisiera" (kee see era) - I'd like. The first, "yo quiero" is the command form, implying that you are their superior and ordering them to do what you want. They will cut you some slack, since you're a foreigner - but why not use the second, "quisiera", which is the polite form, and is a respectful request, not a command. It's surprising how much difference those two words can make in how we are treated, in every Spanish speaking country I've visited - if you don't believe this, test it out yourself. Some people think politeness is a waste of time - no, it's not. Almost all Mexicans are predisposed to be friendly, and using customary politeness is a simple way to position yourself as a respectful person, someone who is also predisposed to be friendly.
That's not hard for many of us to do, believe it or not....but I sure hope the local mexicans put forth just as much effort to be kind and polite to foreigners/strangers. It goes BOTH ways 😘
I say the same thing about crime here in Brooklyn that you say about the cartels -- I'm not involved in that world so it doesn't affect me. New to your channel, thanks so much, I'm really considering it!
Im a Mexican (born in Cancun) but my parents moved us to the US when I was 6, been thinking of moving back to Mexico when I’m older, this video was very helpful! And as for the mentioning the safety, thank you for addressing it, Mexico is a lot safer than people think depending where you are.
ah thank you so much for this! Few things-- 1. You are just hilarious and such a great storyteller. I was cracking up the whole time. 2. Such amazing information! Thank you for keeping it real and also not perpetuating stereotypes. 3. I'm cracking up at the dogs because that is so so true. My family is from Jalisco and I went to visit them a while back, and one day, we wanted to walk to the church which was about an hour away walking distance, and a few minutes into our walk, these two dogs came out of nowhere and just started walking with us and were so calm and were just kickin it with us. We got to the church and paid our respects to the patron saint for a while, and the pups were respectful and patiently waiting outside the church the whole time, and then they walked us back to my fam's house. It was so sweet and I loved it.
Dogs are also allowed in some restaurants. Some places in Mexico City let you walk dogs, that aren't yours. They're just lined up waiting at a park and you just borrow them to take them for a walk. Cool idea.
I’m so glad I found your channel! Not because I’m planning to move to Mexico, but because I’m CRYING 😂😆 listening to your stories. We need this right now. Also, I’m from SF/Oakland too!
Shida, great info! I've smelled the "smell" in peoples homes but never in an airbnb (lucky maybe) and fyi the driving in Lima Peru is sooo much worse. Every ride is action movie worthy
All I hear in my head is proud to be an American lol. The cartel part was hysterical, and sad to see how well stereotypes works. Glad your enjoying your stay and also how are you treated as a black woman 👩🏽
OMG I am so glad that you mentioned about the sewer smell I am currently in Luanda Angela staying in a luxury apartment and I have a serious sewage smell at times so like I’ll run the vent fan all the time that I was trying to figure out what in the world was that now I know thank you so much
Thanks for watching! One of the things I forgot to mention was that my realtor opened the doors and windows of my apartment every time before I looked at it, so I never smelled the bathroom smell. It was a good little trick that I fell for. 😆
Thank for this one. I was seriously considering Mexico City, I have a very sensitive nose…as it is I already smell everything but can’t do sewer smells. Stink is out of my tolerance level. So thank you very much. I’ll keep listening anyway because I like your subjects.
You are too funny. Love watching you talk, and the tips are just a bonus. I too like my living on the boojee (not sure of spelling) side as well, so all the comments are informational and appreciated. Thanks and keep doing you please.
Yes, thank you for the FYI regarding everything "Bathroom Business." Bathrooms are so very important to me. And this is the first conversation and well received, I might add, about what to look for regarding smells and flushing.
Buying a condo in La Condesa right now(I have lived in Puerto Vallarta for 26 years and currently in Tijuana for 3 years ) and I found your video is spot on for moving to any city in Mexico! Great info for anyone interested in moving to Mexico. Looking forward to living in CDMX ( I lived in Manhattan for 9 years and can’t wait to get back to a big city).
I feel like this advice is good for any country. Like understanding prices and currency differences, US brands, crime rates, language barriers, etc. I can apply this to all the countries I’m thinking about moving to
I love your videos. You are so happy and funny! So true about NYC. I always said that I'm to nice to live there. I had not thought about living in Mexico until I started watching you and Stephanie. I love dogs. I like your perspective on pesos vs dollars. Thanks for info about bathroom business, I thought all of the foreign countries had to put paper in the trash. Thank you for sharing. Keep up the great work!!
I am crying LOL This was so funny. That part about the CARTEL though! I used to fear going to Mexico because of what I seen on TV about the cartel over the years. But I love you NYC and I am not scared to go there. Good point!
thank you!!! This is the most complete and accurate and Detailed description of what to look at and for in Mexico. I have been trying to get some definitive answers about the TP situation. And, no one has Ever talked about the smell!!! Not sure if I can acclimate to that or to the Stray dogs:( You've really provided some much needed information and I am so grateful to you!
Just got back from CDMX. I go periodically. Speak Spanish fluently, so I go to keep it up. I gotta say this: CDMX is a good place to save money. But it's not the best in terms of value, for all the reasons you mention and many more. Infrastructure, plumbing, construction standards are lower. And if you come from a major city in the USA, like my Los Angeles, you tend to not only be able to get things at lower prices but you can avail yourself of all sorts of bargains in consumer goods...because we clearance everything through sample sales, overstocks, and end-of-seasons. So, yes, you can come to Mexico and save some good money but like you say..."chile, the sewage"...it's no joke.
Love this video! I managed a team in Mexico City for years and I’d travel there 3-4 times a year. Like she says the drivers are CRAZY! You are literally praying in the backseat lol. There are stop signs that no one stops at!!!! How the traffic flows sometimes is amazing - people naturally let you merge into traffic and everyone is inches from your car but very few accidents! The roads are horrible depending where you are.
I tease my husband all the time about the traffic in Mexico. I've never been anyplace where they turn two lanes into six! Whenever we do make the move to Mexico, I absolutely refuse to drive!
@@Roshida Thks Shida Happy News! Having lived in Miami Urban dogs lay around minding their biz. Only got chased once when walking and telling a guest how laid back dogs were. Her running did not help.. LOL
*Not my city if you cannot flush toilet paper. The sewer stench is another issue. Perhaps I could live in Mexico City if I could afford a 5 or 4 starts hotel where I can flush TP and there is no sewer stink. I visited Mexico City once but I stayed in a very nice hotel close to The Zocalo and didn't have any issues. It was very nice.*
When you are house hunting (Rent) will the landlords be honest and tell you about the toilet paper issue for you to decide? How does one avoid getting somewhere where the seweage smells up the place?
It's annoying...the place I'm in now has that issue. You have to buy a cover for the shower drain...that takes care of most it. Oh...and the landlord won't tell you, a sign could be if they leave the door and windows open.
Hi. About tap water: I'm Mexican and live in Mexico City. Mexico City's tap water is one of the safest waters to drink. I drink tap water and never had any illness. The thing here is not tap water, is the water deposits in the buildings and houses that are not cleaned often enough. Also, and I know this because I've worked with a bottled water company, these companies thru marketing had made us believe that is not safe to drink tap water. In contrast, whenever I travel to Spain (once a year), and drink tap water, my stomach goes crazy.
@@Roshida Oh I still intend to visit. I loved your description as it being a friendly NY...and that there's lots to do. Unleashed dogs around is an anxiety trigger :o0
I think the sewer smell you mention maaay be controlled if you let the water run for a little while in the shower, or in whichever sewer it is coming from. I have faith it might work specially if it iss coming from a sewer that never gets used, such as the guest bathroom. It has happened to me more than once and that's how I fix it...
Shida I ordered an automatic push button pump for my 5 gallon water bottle for $10- $15 from Amazon. The bottle sits upright on the floor and automatically pumps your option of a cup of liter etc. LOVE IT.
@@Sharedpath777 $10.99 Amazon:. Auto Bottled Water Pump with Volume Control Wireless Water Dispenser Rechargeable Gallon Water Bottle Jug Dispenser Pump
@@Roshida Not sure how far you can travel to/from but i get the men at the market to put the bottle in my personal push cart & roll it to my office. ( i have a personal hot/cold dispenser in office.) Last year all Court Houses went remote, I took those bottles home but didnt have a dispenser. So i ordered this pump. At home they push the market cart to car and load it for me. Best wishes
I love 💕 the dog 🐕 & cat 🐈⬛ story but Tks for sharing. I am allergic to cat dandruff so if they just walk into a restaurant I can’t eat there. My Epi-Pen is limited & expensive.
Great feed! I want to come down to Mexico City and rent a place for 2 weeks to a month before I commit to more time. This will be my first time there. Any advice on verifying a good rental place? 2nd, Can you rent month to month there? If I really like it, I may stay longer. Also, I'm working remote as well and will need a good internet connection.
You can find monthly rentals on Airbnb. I did that in Portugal. Ended up staying 3 months, each month in a different apt. Be sure to check wifi as an amenity you need.

I travel and I'm tired of the crime questions. The U.S is. such a violent place they seem to forget that. Domestic and of course Foreign policy.
“I’m not selling drugs, I don’t have any cartel business.”
🤣🤣🤣 You are so funny!
Thanks for watching it. And yes, me and the cartel aren't going to the same places except maybe the grocery store.
I know I laughed a ton at this lol. The crime is no joke though. Certain streets people from there know not to walk down!
I strongly agreed it doesn't matter where you at if you are a trouble maker you will attrack the same energy
This made me laugh out loud because she reiterated
Your videos are so much more nuanced that the typical mexico city expat videos. As someone considering making the move, it's incredibly helpful!
"A lot of people think retirement means you're not working at all, and if you are working then you're not really retired," she says. "I only do work I love and I only do it when I want to."
So like me you’re semi-retired.

Shida I ordered an automatic push button pump for my 5 gallon water bottle for $10- $15 from Amazon. The bottle sits upright on the floor and automatically pumps your option of a cup of liter etc. LOVE IT.
Great news. Would you share the link please.

Someone else mentioned that to me. If I can figure out a way to get the 5 gallon bottles delivered easily, I'll look into that.
@@Roshida Not sure how far you can travel to/from but i get the men at the market to put the bottle in my personal push cart & roll it to my office. ( i have a personal hot/cold dispenser in office.) Last year all Court Houses went remote, I took those bottles home but didnt have a dispenser. So i ordered this pump. At home they push the market cart to car and load it for me. Best wishes
I love 💕 the dog 🐕 & cat 🐈⬛ story but Tks for sharing. I am allergic to cat dandruff so if they just walk into a restaurant I can’t eat there.
My Epi-Pen is limited & expensive.
Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Great video, QQ is it common to have a bath tub? That’s really important to me

Great feed! I want to come down to Mexico City and rent a place for 2 weeks to a month before I commit to more time. This will be my first time there. Any advice on verifying a good rental place? 2nd, Can you rent month to month there? If I really like it, I may stay longer. Also, I'm working remote as well and will need a good internet connection.
You can find monthly rentals on Airbnb. I did that in Portugal. Ended up staying 3 months, each month in a different apt. Be sure to check wifi as an amenity you need.
Which Mexico City FB groups do you recommend?
