Been a long time viewer but dont usually comment. Just wanted to say thanks for all the travel tips. Your videos have inspired my wife and I to travel. Was neat to see you in Ab recently (we are up in Edmonton). Cheers.
I feel like I’m on holiday watching this, love your new shirts and hat. Thanks for the great shopping tour, reminds me of shopping in Bali. Great looking food and cocktails. Great tips on money conversion. Love the outro music, so soothing with the beautiful sunset. Cheers🍹
I get pesos in Canada from my bank. No fees at all straight up conversion at the daily rate . Order online at CIBC , pick it up at your branch . I haven't hit a bank machine in 6 weeks. I'm saving about 20% . Used my CC only twice on large purchases . No fees or conversion charges. Saving large , ya baby....
Sweet, didn't know about that option. I get a good rate from my bank when I use an ATM, but the fees do add up. I'm traveling sorta non-stop so can't order currency in advance.
Hey Gabriel, this is the most amazing, vibrant and happy place. I love your new shirts and all the art and the murals and of course the dining tables and chairs right on the beach. I thank you and wish you a very Merry Christmas.
You might want to check out Rincon de Guayabitos. We are just north of Lo de Marcos 15 minutes. It’s a very popular beach town that caters to national tourists mostly from Guadalajara. Big families and loads of inexpensive accommodations. The town right next door is La Peñita and that is a working town with a beautiful main avenue and plaza. On Thursday we have a marketplace in the plaza and we close down an entire street. It’s a true working market, mostly artisan crafts, essentials, food, drinks clothing, plants…we have lived here full time for 7 years.
Hi Gabriel, it's a Beautiful day. Enjoy the nice weather and the vibes. The winters are brutal all day, and little sunlight can be hard on the body. No wonder everybody gets the flu and colds.
Interesting views of Puerto vallerta, i too went from calgary for a visit just went around the board walk ending up to the church of guadelupe and local gift shops, did not get time to see the areas now viewing in your vlog.Stayed at Hilton so far to commute by uber to city.
Gabriel, I've been seeing a similar scam where this happens on credit card terminals as well. You put your credit/debit card in and the waiter unknowingly just keeps hitting the green button. On one of the screens, the green button selects paying in USD rather than local currency and gives you a bad exchange. The waiter doesn't realize, the terminal is designed to make it likely for them to make this mistake.
Mens clothing in Mexico is way more expensive than it is here in Wyoming. We've got a Marshalls here that sells very good quality clothing for 80 and 90 percent off the original retail price.
We ask our bank who their affilate bank in Mexico is. Large banks always have an affilate bank in Mexico for trade purposes. If you use an affiliate bank there is no charge at the bank ATM. Nice video, I got to see some spots that I'm very familiar with.
I've been to pretty well every corner of Mexico, but never to Puerto Vallarta (or anywhere else on the Pacific coast apart from Acapulco). Need to get out there sometime and do some exploring. The closest I got to PV was Guadalajara, but didn't head to the coast (I was a poor 18 year old at the time).
How about heading further south, hitting up Argentina, Chile. Looks like nice Temps down that way. I was gonna suggest southeast Asia but I think it's the wet season there now
Hello Gabriel, Question? I see you were at Cuates y Cuetes restaurant. Could you please ask them when their webcam will be working again? Thank you from Alberta, Canada.
Awesome Mural on the Building👍Thank You Gabriel🙂Great choice on some Place Warmer than Calgary Alberta Canada🙂💚👍Merry Christmas Gabriel👍From The East Coast NB Canada 👍
Dear Gabriel thank you for all your amazing content over the years. Here is a place you might not have been. Deliblatska Peščara Oldest desert in Europe.
Have found that the knock-off mexican league soccer shirts are very comfortable in the heat ... they breathe, don't saturate with sweat like a cotton Tshirt, and they dry very quickly! For "clothing" shirts, check out the market/tailor in the square in front of the big church.
these streets are so beuatiful! i can't figure out which 'lense' to wear w/these, b/c it's not quite rose gold . . . i'm thinking yellow lenses. my mom & dad went here in the early 60s, i think they stayed @ the hotel in 'night of the iguana'--we have the most BEAutiful sofa end stands still from there that are porcelin elephants! . . .
The best and cheapest way to get to Yelapa is the hop on the orange bus to Boca de tomatlan then grab a taxi boat there for about 6,00usd. 25.00usd is way too expensive!!!
It was $27.50 USD round trip for a 45 minute boat ride each way, not a scam, super convenient. Worth paying a few extra dollars instead of dealing with a bus for who knows how long, getting off and then waiting for a boat. ✌️
Cool. 👍 It sounds way more confusing trying to figure out where to catch the bus and what time, plus getting out of PV isn't quick with the traffic. Direct boat worked great for me, but whatever you enjoy is all good.
@@Hazy3 my experience guide in PVR are not too reliable. A little bit like their tours, you inquire a one place and they give a price, then you go 2 blocks down a the price is way different. Be aware of guides who tell you a fun adventure then you ended up in a timeshare pitch sale! And there's a lot in PVR
Not sure I would fly all the way there for noisy streets and endless T shirt and trinket shops, but yes it is warmer and a direct flight from the icebox cities. I think I would take Hawaii over this but longer flights. I guess if you ignore the poverty it works.
Great insights on the exchange situation. I find there to be quite a range of options and if you shop around, one can avoid being ripped off by playing close attention. Many folks traveling to places like PV aren't seasoned travellers, might only get there for a week or two at the most, are there for a good time, couldn't care less about the exchange, so they get taken advantage of. Easy come, easy go. That first place you showed was a rip off, and right in the heart of the tourist zone. I'm sure the guy is making a killing.
What do you think about the "danger travel" genre that has sprung up in recent years? RUclipsrs literally risking their lives for views-hanging out in shady neighborhoods, going to war zones, getting sent to prison, etc. I personally like your relaxing travel style as it seems more authentic and less contrived just as clickbait. That being said, the views do tend to be more limited in your genre.
I don't really have a problem with it, depends on the youtuber, some I just don't click with and don't follow. Sometimes it can be a problem i.e. one guy who I won't name went to somewhere in the Caribbean, I forget which country, got into the drug culture there, showed a bunch of the people on video without blurring their faces and then some of them ended up in jail as a result. I think that was irresponsible. Yes, some of them were probably breaking drug laws but the sentences can be really harsh and I don't think that youtubers should be exposing people who are doing their own thing and not scamming someone else. But for example Indigo Traveler mainly goes to pretty dangerous places, but with a journalistic approach of showing what their lives are like, not just trying to create clickbait videos, so that's all good. I'd say it's a bit of a mixed bag, depends on the person, the country, the situation, etc.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Sorry, it means "ask me anything". Where your users send interesting questions about your life and travels and you answer them in a video.
PV isn't that great for me anymore. Quite expensive now for the budget minded. I just don't find that much to do there. Granted I'm not a spring chicken so I'm not there to party. Also the water is dirty for swimming in the city. It's still the logical fly in city for many places so there is that to consider.
Wow, that is a huge scam on the conversion, in Thailand it shows you the price they charge as 220 baht, which is presently $6.43, nothing like what they are charging in Mexico.
So, hows the public transportation there? Can you like travel around easily solo without renting a car? And maybe go for walks through local villages or nature or something? Or is that just something people dont really do in Mexico? I mean, of course you can make walks but I mean like not along busy roads or some not very interesting suburb. Because the town itself looks ok, but very busy and touristy. Perfect for a family beach holiday of course, but maybe not so interesting when you are there by yourself. Seems like a decent place to use as base camp for a couple of weeks and explore the region around it, perhaps? And I really dont like tours, for me it takes away all the excitement of exploring if you know what I mean.
Buses very plentiful and inexpensive, both local "milk" runs and longer distance luxury. Ex: Puerto Vallarta Airport to Sayulita on a local bus $50 pesos ($3.55CDN, $2.46USD). Puerto Vallarta to Guadalajara (aprx. 4hrs) double decker luxury bus $800 pesos ($56 CDN, $39 USD).
@Gabriel Traveler - Wow! That’s good to know. Thank you Gabriel! ☺️😎 Hey, do you also plan to explore other Latin American countries, such as Costa Rica, Panama, Argentina, or Brazil, in the next few months? 🤔😗
We’re in Cabo. Got scammed by Avis in San Jose del Cabo. Offered me $500 off my car rental to eat breakfast at a new golf time share. Added rental I did not need over what Mexico requires. It took going through three Avis ‘representatives’ before we reached the rental place. People in San Jose were fabulous. Avis, not so much.
Rent only from Mexican independent rental agencies. Up front prices, great cars. Rent from Nancy at Smart Car Rental in La Paz . She has a 4.9 rating on google reviews. Excellent service , no bullshit....
Declining the conversion is absolutely not unique to Mexico. Accepting the currency conversion in any country is always a huge disadvantage to person withdrawing the funds. Same if you’re paying by credit card in a restaurant or store, decline the conversion because otherwise, you’ll pay even more for your beer or your shirt.
Have you checked the exchange rate they're giving compared to xe.com? Because normally a bank outside of the country, such as in the US will give a pretty terrible rate compared to if you withdraw from an ATM inside the country you're going to.
$30 for a cheap t-shirt would be a scam, but for a nice button up it's fair. Mexico isn't nearly as cheap as it used to be. Check hotel prices on booking.com, they're pretty close to the prices in the US in touristy areas. You can find better deals if you get out of the tourist zone, for both hotels and shopping in local markets.
You say there are scams in PV? It's too touristy- too many vendors on the beach- you can't even enjoy some peace. There are tour guides that rip people off. You pay for tours for yourself and the guides! They ended up staying to eat and drink- you pay. The tours are just the same as other tours. You might be better off going on tours thru Viator online. They don't stay - eat with you for free meals or drinks. Much safer. Good luck!! ❤
@JonnieSlade-fh2cg Nor am I, but I have been. Whatever bullshit Americans have been fed is just that. What happens when the lights go out? You're still alive. The lights come back.
I use Charles Schwab ATM card and they charge no ATM fees or no International money exchange fees buy refunding you all charges at the end of every month.
Looks nice there have you ever considered on getting one of those wise cards with the preloaded money on it. Go Explore Matt recently did a RUclips on it.
Not a fan of the romantic zone, way too expensive, and touristy. Other neighbourhoods such as 5 Diciembre and Pitillal are more interesting and authentic.
Gabriel I'm with you on the video's title. I spent six weeks in the Mayan Riviera (Cancun, Playa, etc) and three weeks in the Nayarit Riviera and I liked Puerto Vallarta a lot. I always recommend it over Cancun whenever the topic pops up. They were gonna charge you $53 bucks more for trhe withdrawl. Yikes!!!!
@GabrielTravelerVideos Guanajuato, Puebla, Mazatlán, Mulegé, Guadalajara, Oaxaca, Mérida...you could do up the coast from PV to the Riviera Nayarit - San Pancho, San Blas, Guayabitos etc...PV is fine for a vacation but it's more a tourist town than a traveler destination 😁
@Cirearyk or a click bait title 😅 I don't blame him btw, all youtubers do it. Also I guess he doesn't speak Spanish, which makes it easy for him travelling in PV, Cancún and other Gringo-friendly places
Guanajuato is my favorite Mexican city: ruclips.net/video/ATbH8844IPQ/видео.html I've been to some of the other cities you mentioned but not all of them. Oaxaca is a nice one, as well as San Cristobal de las Casas.
You need some Gabriel traveler merch with “decline conversion” on it !

@GabrielTravelerVideos Guanajuato, Puebla, Mazatlán, Mulegé, Guadalajara, Oaxaca, Mérida...you could do up the coast from PV to the Riviera Nayarit - San Pancho, San Blas, Guayabitos etc...PV is fine for a vacation but it's more a tourist town than a traveler destination 😁
@@no_soy_rubioGabriel been to many cities in Mexico I’m sure he knows there is better than PV this is just one of his own personal favorites
@Cirearyk or a click bait title 😅 I don't blame him btw, all youtubers do it. Also I guess he doesn't speak Spanish, which makes it easy for him travelling in PV, Cancún and other Gringo-friendly places
Guanajuato is my favorite Mexican city: ruclips.net/video/ATbH8844IPQ/видео.html I've been to some of the other cities you mentioned but not all of them. Oaxaca is a nice one, as well as San Cristobal de las Casas.
I love cool short sleeve shirts too but they don't look as good on me im overweight
Try an Arabic tunic
