    Huatulco is the perfect place for those that like summer weather year round.
    Find out more about Huatulco and how you can actually live a very comfortable ligfe here on $1500 USD a month/ $1800 CAD a month or less.
    Russell shares how he lives like a local and how you can do it too.

      It's really just unbelievable how today Mexico and the U.S. take care of the people that lives in their territory:
      In Mexico the Actual Government created an every month social money help program that means that Mexican older people receive e directly every month the necessary amount of money to live without suffering from stress of not having a job or somebody to help them out or because their age that means that every single old Mexican person no matter their marital status, political ideology, gender, religion, etc,, they'll receive every single month enough money to live Maybe not a luxurious lifestyle but yes in a descent way ,
      >>>>>>farmers receive the necessary amount of money they need to become their own bosses in their homeland so they don't have to emigrate to the U.S. the necessary amount of money by the Mexican Government in a credit with interest up to 25 years to payback ,and without sign no contract so in case they can't repay for a credible real reason they Will not lose their land
      The Entire Education is Free even at university level plus students also receive monthly monetary help to cover up to %80 of School books and all that needed
      >And people with disabilities in need also receive monthly monetary help and %95 of all Mexican workers at all levels in private and public sectors are registered and have free health care at all time nationwide
      >>> Mexican President AMLO and his administration keep in the Mexicans Government control the essential key sectors of Energy like oil, gas and electricity that way they guaranteed that the price of Gasoline, Gas and electricity stays low and accessible for all people, this are some examples to name a few about what a real government that take care for the citizens of the nation works and in the international level
      MEXICAN government creating alliances to fight Poverty inequality and inflation
      And always promoting a peace way to end the war in Ukraine
      In the other side the U.S.
      Promoting ,supporting and financing More war MORE THOUSANDS of human deaths more, increasing billions and billions of dollars for the U.S. military death killer machine industry ,but nothing for the poorest Americans families,
      The USA government gave $120 billion dollars to Ukraine in help but $0 dollars to help homeless people every single day hundreds of entire american families become homeless but no help for them
      The US government in this last 3 weeks gave for free more than $400 billion dollars to USA private banks because they were almost bankrupted because they bad and corrupt administration,
      But Zero $0 dollars for Education ,ZERO$0 DOLLARS to help old people without no Medicare
      This is how different are this 2 governments and how they threat their own people this are facts REALITY 😥😥

    You made me cry Russell. Your attitude is so refreshing. I lived in Mexico (Yucatan) for a couple years back in 1997. Loved it. I am trying to decide between Mazatlan and Hualtuco now. At 71 (feeling 50ish) I want to be outside as much as possible and heard that Mazatlan is a lot cooler than Huatulco. I plan to move down from Wa. later this year. Thank you so much for your video. I can't wait to get there!!

    • @MexicoRelocationGuide

      What I love about Mazatlán is that you have a large malecón to walk or ride a bike, also the people in Mazatlán is incredible happy and welcoming.
      And the cherry on top is that if you get bored of the beach you have pine forests and snow areas and cabins to rent about just hours away.

      Thailand is currently about 50% cheaper than the US and Mexico is about 25% cheaper, according to cost of living research. Generally, the cost of living follows the same as the difference in currency rates. So lower exchange rate, also lower cost of living. That has been my experience in these two countries, anyway.

    I watched this because I worked in that area in May of 1991 for almost a month. That was when the Mexican government had just started developing the area. There was one hotel which I have identified as Barcelo Huatulco. That wasn't what it was back then. I think it may have been a Hilton or some other internationally known chain. There was a golf course which is still there and a Club Med but that is about all. There was Salina Cruz and La Crucecita and further west, Puerto Angel. That was it. Not many people at all. There was the open market in one of the towns and very few places to find food. The hotel food wasn't good at all even though it was very expensive.
    I watched and watched and didn't recognize anything or anyplace. I had no idea that there had been that much developement there since I was there. It looks nice now. It's a complete transformation from what it was but I realize that was a long time ago.
    I know someone who has been living there off and on and has a diving business. I had wondered if it had changed and now I know!
    If I wanted to live where it was hot all the time and near a beach, that would be right at the top of my choices.
    Enjoyed the video, well done!

      You'll find that Puerto Morelos has a lot more tourists and it has the cenotes but it's flat with no mountainous areas near by. With Huatulco because of the mountains, there is more visually beautiful scenery just looking out your window or walking around town. It also has more beaches and cool little towns to visit that are close by and are not over run with tourists. Huatulco is a very pretty and quieter small town that I think you would probably enjoy a little more but you can still party if you want to. Both places get pretty darn hot.

    • @OldSoulPammy
      @OldSoulPammy Год назад +1

      Thanks David, I agree with the points you made. The more I think about it, the reasons why I leaned toward Puerto Morelos seem less important. I do think that Huatulco has more of the vibe that I'm looking for. Do you live in Huatulco and/or have you visited both places? And I do want to be somewhere that is hot all year, don't want to do winter any more. Currently I'm in metro Atlanta and it gets very hot and humid in the summer (upper 90's in both temp and humidity) so I think I'll be ok with the hot weather.

      @@MexicoRelocationGuide 🤔 don’t think it’s changing that much when talking about prices in MXN then, the national currency of Mexico. Exchange rates vary. Converting into other Currencies using the current exchange rate is easily done on google f.e. by anybody.
      MXN (at least shown on screen) would be a great service to people watching your channel coming from other countries but the USA and would be highly appreciated. Having an account in GBP or EUR or AUD or NZD people won’t know what you’re talking about especially after some time not being familiar with the history of USD exchange rates you were referring to, Mariana 😉

    My suggestions again to whoever put this video together. Always post a map of where the city is at. I’ve been sitting here for 15 minutes. Trying to find this on Google and cant It would be so helpful if you would just post a map showing what you’re talking about. The second thing is post how to get there what is the closest big airport to fly into? How do you get to the airport to the town? I was watching a RUclips video David couple who found the perfect Mexico City. They failed to tell you. It was a three day bus ride from the airport to the beach town they were in those are two things that everybody that’s wanting to travel would be very interested in seeing.

    I don’t get how US people move to other countries and don’t put REAL energy into learning the language where they have moved to. Is it laziness? Arrogance? For gods sake, make a concerted effort. It’s your new home….. it’s worth the effort to get to know the local people and that requires communication.

    • @MexicoRelocationGuide
      @MexicoRelocationGuide  Год назад +2
