I need to watch more of your videos, this one was really insightful. No one ever interviews the single independent women that live down there.
Thanks!
My pleasure. It was a lot of fun to do. Sunny is a very nice lady. 🙂
Great thanks to Rich Varney for matching me with this wonderful place, so perfect for an introvert. A special thanks to Sunny for leaving me beautiful pieces of her pottery and paintings - they bring joy to my new surroundings!
Big thanks to Sunny for allow me to get her on Camera. She did a great job, don't you think? I will be adding all the information regarding her art exhibition once the the dates are confirmed. Thanks for watching guys...
Sunny looks great for 80 years old. perhaps it’s the wonderful life in MX keeping her young! I agree that traveling and an appreciation for other cultures is so good.
That is a gorgeous place and a fine lady. Thanks for sharing them.
Hi Greg. It was a pleasure to do this video with Sunny. What a super character! Thanks for watching.
It was such a pleasure to meet Sunny yesterday. She has created a place of joy and beauty. I have friends in mind
for this place, including a few who paint. This place has a beautiful lake view.
That was fun! Thanks Rich.
Thanks for watching Karla.
Thank you so much for this wonderful insight. We were considering coming down there this year but will wait a year due to COVID-19. Thanks again!
Thank you Sunny and Rich!!!
My pleasure. Thanks for watching
Big thanks for Sunny and Rich, for so candid talks of life in Lake Chapala. In our 60's, it is time to plan the move to the paradise....
My pleasure Osborne Bay. Glad you like the vids. Maybe see you in Ajijic on day!😊👍
Lovely video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Meena 😁👍
Great interview!
Thank you Gail 😊👍
Hi Rich mike and i say happy new year to you!
Thznk you do much! Wishing you an amazing 2021 for you and Mike. 😁👍
She is candid... leave her alone. I love her honesty... she's a scorpion??? She's fierce!!!
Great job
Thank you Gerry. 😊
on countdown ! can hardly wait ! ... April...lol !
Very pleasant and insightful conversation. Great job, Rich.
This is the first time I watch one of your videos. As Mexican, I appreciate your and Sunny’s Mexico culture understanding and respect. She’s very pleasant and witty!
I have been in Ajijic several times. Great place and weather to retire. I still have years to retire, but my wife and I are considering doing so down there.
Thank you so much. 🙂
Muchas gracias Marte De Alejandro. Mi casa esta cerca de Mexicanos y gringos. Me gusta Mexicanos a poco mejor.
Thanks so much
Very welcome Cheryl. Thanks for watching. 🙂
Congratulations
Loved her candor & wit. I'm coming for a visit next week attending Focus on Mexico. I hope to meet you.
Hi Crystal, thanks for your comment. Please pop by my office and come and say hi. Company name is...Chapala Realtors. Cheers Rich
I am doing Focus on Mexico in 4 months. I would be interested to hear how your experience was?
Btw, I went by el gato feo & it's the cutest cafe ever. Had the cinnamon crumble doughnut. Loved meeting Amanda.
@@crystalprovance3423 glad to hear it.
@@grr8scot Focus on Mexico was awesome. Educational & fun. You will just love Michael, Rhonda & Ana. They answered questions that I didn't know I had. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Worth every penny. If you can add on the outings, please do so, you wont regret it. Have fun. Crystal
I would love her to teach me how to paint...some one always has something to teach... you are great and I love your mind SUNNI... how I spelled your name right.
You always find what you look for... she found kind people...🖤🖤❤
Well, I can't really teach people "how" to paint. What I can do, and have done, is help them to see as an artist does and to develop their own skills. Mostly I have provided instruction in composition, the bones of making art, which can be taught and learned with practice. If you are really interested in learning, buy Carlson's Guide to Landscape Painting and do every thing he says several times. A cheap dollar investment and a lot of elbow grease.
Thank you. What would it cost to rent a place like Sunnys for 6 months? Great video!!
Great lady, fun interview, would love to know her. I am scouting low priced rentals or roommate situations, I am a artsy, animal lover senior lady from Canada.
👍up to Sunny you too Rich ✌🤝👩🎨
Thanks so much Laura. Merry Christmas!!
@@RichVarney merry Christmas 🎄
80!!!! Wow
I am visiting Mexico in the fall. I want to find a city where I don't need to drive. What do you recommend?
Good . Lady welcome ❤️
♥️
👍👍👍👍👍💜 Lovely Lady.
She is a fabulous lady 😊👍
Is her house still up for sale? Which part of Ajijic does she live - l think you said Lakeside.Is she leaving Mexico? Thanks for a great interview.
No sorry. It was sold earlier this year. Thanks so much for watching 😀👍
Omg... this garden space is beautiful. I couldn't pay him 65 pesos for this work. My conscience wouldn't allow me...
Some of the work is done by me. Roman spends about six hours a week in the garden and pool. Others haul away "stuff " at a cost.I provide tools and pool cleaning equipment. Roman gets a very nice Christmas bonus and a painting every year, and an ongoing supply of fruit. When I'm in the states, his family has use of the pool. That's the best I can do on my budget.
Holy shit 80! I’m 61 and she looks younger than me and I have lived a very clean life but my life is stressful. I wish I have her nerve to move alone to another country.
A margarita a day keeps the wrinkles at bay.
Hi. I have so many questions. Perhaps you have already addressed them in other videos. I would love to do what Sunny did - retire to Mexico as a single senior (a bit younger though). How do you handle paying taxes on social security and a pension to both the US and Mexico? How do you handle driving - Do you get a Mexican driver's license or use your US driver's license? Is it better to drive to Chapala from the States so that you have your car, or is it better to buy a car when you get there? Is it better to ship your furniture, or buy new furniture there? Where do you recommend staying while you are figuring out where to live in Chapala? It's a very big undertaking! Please address these issues of relocating.
A lot depends on whether you get a temporary or permanent visa - I am planning to move next year and have found these sites very helpful

Love Sunny! Is her house for sale? Or sold.
Hi Karen. Sunny is a lovely lady 😊. Regarding her property, yes it's still for sale. Do you need any additional information? Cheers Rich
@@RichVarney Hi Rich,
Yes, please send me additional information on Sunny's home. I found it on line but the information is limited. perhaps you can use my email address for additional communication. Karen@karennovak.com Thank you!
@@karennovak1168 I'll send some additional information to your email address then. Cheers Rich
@@RichVarney Thanks!
How is the virus situation there?
Hey bud,
I am currently living in Amsterdam (Netherlands) but my dream is to live in Mexico. I prefer Playa del carmen, do you have any tips for work? i can speak proper english and dutch. Thank you!
Also, im 22 years old. Currently working fulltime as a sales representative.
Hi Dion, thanks for the comments. I'd suggest to continue to work in sales. That could be in real estate or in other areas. You would need to get your work visa for Mexico to legally work here. I wouldn't suggest working without it. Cheers Rich
@@RichVarney Thank you for your reply Rich. Do you have some sort of site where you can apply to these kind of jobs?
@@dionjav6773 I'd recommend coming first for a visit and talk with the locals. In this case in playa del carmen. There are plenty of work opportunities in that area due to the large demand of tourists visiting the area. There is nothing better than actual face to face market research when looking for a job. I've personally never used employment websites to find a job in Mexico. However, there are many to choose from. Good luck in your search
Good video Rich. But so when we are talking about food and music, who would want to even think to eat anything else an Mexican food being in Mexico and also, who would want to even think to listen to some other music and Mexican music when you are in Mexico. Peace, rest in peace mio man Juan Gabriel with mucho Amor and Amor eterno ! TCB.
The thing is TCB, after a year or so you get a hankering for spring rolls or ravioli. Juan Gabriel's music never dies.
By the way, I'd be tempted to steal your art, Sunny.
I'm leaving you some so you don't need to.
@@sunnysorensen9521 You're kidding. Thank you! I was going to contact you at some point regarding purchasing a painting of yours that my brother-in-law particularly admired. Is there a way to do that?
"I drive better than the Mexicans" HAHAHA, So true, I'm Mexican myself, and know how people drive in the US, and how they drive in Guadalajara, my hometown.
Mexican here. We find it funny that old Caucasian people leave the United States just to move to a place where more old white Caucasian people live. Chapala is not Mexico. It's like a retirement home. If you want real Mexico, go to San Pancho, Lo De marcos.
Congratulations
