Chicanos move to Mexico City.. but do we like it?

  • In 2021, we sold most of our belongings and decided to become digital nomads. We grew tired of Chicago winters, crime, American mass shootings, and set our sights on moving to Mexico. All this time we’ve been saying “we moved to Mexico” when really we’ve been traveling throughout Mexico, so does that really count as “moving”? Part of our goals in traveling the country was to learn more about the beautiful cultures in our heritage country but also to explore potential cities or towns to call our next home. We made numerous videos analyzing different places we liked, talking pros and cons, and now, we find ourselves moving to a city we’d never even considered an option: Mexico City

So much culture, incredible higher education, tons of museums and one of the best gastronomies in the world. The areas of Roma, Condesa and Polanco are vibrant, diverse and beautiful. Good luck.

      Thank you! and likewise to you! There's already a decent community of returned migrants who grew up in the US (deportees/adult children of deportees who came back with their parents) and they're great people to connect with so far. Let us know if you do come! We can definitely build up a healthy Mexican-American community in CDMX ❤️🇲🇽

      Cause you probably only saw the bubble of Roma, condesa, polanco, centro historico. I can take you where the real 20 million people live where it takes 3 hours of public transport to get to work and people make less than 6k pesos a month and dont have running water or clean water (you dont have those problems in chicago). Where it is vandelized, potholes, trash, nothing compared to chicago

We have been living in Nayarit full time for four years and so far have only spent five nights in CDMX but are spending almost two weeks there over Christmas and New Years this year and are really excited about it. For those of you who are not lovers of big cities in general you must visit CDMX at some point to experience it.

    🇲🇽 🇲🇽🇲🇽❤️ me encanta Ciudad de México. As to the size, remember that each city is just a collection of neighborhoods. Mexico City is one of the great cities of the world. I have probably spent 30 days there in the last decade and I feel like I am just scratching the surface. I am heading there as part of a trip in October for another five days and plan on visiting neighborhoods I haven’t been to like Santa Maria La Ribera. I can’t wait. I am excited to see your Mexico City content in the coming months and I think it will be great for your channel. It is a seriously under appreciated city and people have many misconceptions as you pointed out in your video. Jenny-I really hope the job uncertainty gets sorted out soon, how maddening!

    All Mexicans have a bias against Mexico City just like all countries have a bias against their capital city or big cities. Everyone in the USA thinks NYC is awful and that all new yorkers are mean and weird, the French say the same thing about parisians, etc. My abuelitos were from Sonora and they hated CDMX and its people. That's why Yahritza said what she said. (That's why I'm really surprised everyone's attacking them when in fact all Mexicans trash talk CDMX, why single them out?, maybe because they're Chicanos? I don't know!.) The only Mexicans that think highly of CDMX are the locals, everyone else calls them "chilangos" (which means outsiders).

      @RRRR-ed1lp 9 месяцев назад

      To be fair, people from Mexico City think that Mexicans in the rest of the country are inferior. That's also true. The hatred is mutual. Just like USA folks think New Yorkers suck, New Yorkers think of the rest of Americans as country and backwards. So it goes both ways.

    Its allways very important if you plan to move somewhere go for some time and see if you really like it. When i got my American Visa i kinda wanted to move to Los Angeles, but when i visited the city for a plan 3 week, i couldt take it anymore, i only lasted for 5 days, and i appreciate my home town, Ensenada Baja , where at least i can walk to the store by the corner. Thats my advise.

    • @EatBailaTravel
      @EatBailaTravel  4 месяца назад +1

      My thoughts are that all roads lead to and emanate from CDMX. As has been the case for the last seven centuries. You don't 'get' Mexico fully if you don't 'get' Mexico City. A visit to Mexico focusing on its history and culture starts here.

    I just visited CDMX for first time. I'm Chicana from socal and I watched some of your videos before going and all I can say is how can you not adore CDMX? Air and UV are kind of a problem for me but it's just clearly a place to feel happiness and wonder at the culture and history and warm hearted people. Not sure if I would ever drive as I do in My medium/small city in the United States. My Mexican mother scared me about going to Mexico after I graduated highschool. That's 30 years now. CDMX has less of a warning than several other states

    I LOVE CDMX. We live in Silicon Valley, California and we travel to Mexico at least once a year. There are many options for entertainment and culture. I've watched a few of your videos and I decided to subscribe to your channel because I think you two make a beautiful couple with a positive message and I can relate to your cultural background. Keep up the awesome work and I wish you two success in your endeavor.

    Fun fact: The Latin population in Vancouver has skyrocketed in the past few years, but it's a completely different aspect of the population than in America--it's virtually all middle class people from either CDMX or Guadalajara...probably because you can't just walk into Canada.

    oh, wow! I can’t believe you don’t have the official offer yet. I’m sure it will all work itself out soon, but that has to be so stressful. 😕 coming for an art school background, I always heard about artists moving to Mexico City. It’s a cultural Mecca for artists and thus has always been a place I knew I’d want to spend a good chunk of time in. Sounds like you guys are seeing that there! Sounds like you’re already adjusting really well - just don’t get too smooshed on those trains!

    i visited mexico city last Feb from Texas to attend Zona Maco, latin american's biggest art fair. i was impressed with the big boulevards and the public transportation during my 3 days. was not as polluted as i thought it would be and it was much greener than i thought (great tree cover).
    i hope to attend zona maco again in 2024 so i can explore their famous food scene more. also would like to see their museums and ruins more (only went to carlos slim's museum, but was not impressed relative to texas or other u.s. art museums).
    just did not have enough time there (i hope to check out their aztec artifacts and art someday, since the maya artifacts just finished a run in texas after the met in nyc - stunning). but clearly cosmopolitan city (just glad i did not have to drive a car there, much less use a cab during my short 3 day stay - subway was great for me).

    Immigrants coming to the USA often carry various misconceptions and biases. As someone who immigrated to the USA, I encountered many fellow Mexicans who held both accurate perceptions and biases about Mexico. I believe this stems from their desire to distance themselves from the realities they experienced in Mexico. I was fortunate to have grown up in Mexico City, granting me access to resources that many people from rural areas lack. My perception of Mexico evolved as I had the opportunity to attend university and enjoy a more comfortable life.
    Also, Many of the Mexicans I met here with misconceptions about Mexico don't have an amazing life here either, which, to me, is also an interesting contradiction.

    So Jenny when will you know if you have the job? I can’t believe they have you waiting this long! Will pray for you it all comes together soon. My daughter has been very interested in something like this for a while. She wants to go to UNAM but only assumed she had to be a Mexican citizen to attend, which she can turn into with her Dad but hasn’t yet. But she’d prefer to go as a international student from a U.S. college.

    • @EatBailaTravel
      @EatBailaTravel  9 месяцев назад +1

      gracias! 🤗 well, according to them "I'm their candidate of choice", and they're waiting on getting some sort of legal issues sorted out due to the fact that it's the university's first international job based in Mexico. It's taking longer than they expected, too. That's super cool that your daughter wants to attend UNAM! She could certainly go as an exchange student but I'm also fairly certain she could enroll as a non-citizen for her full education if she wanted to. Once I start the job I will know more and would be happy to offer guidance.
