As a Mexican citizen, I may not speak for everyone of course, but we don’t mind foreigners to come and find homes here. But it seems that almost every US citizen who comes here and promotes how cheap it is and basically invites everyone who can’t afford the US to immigrate here. Well you may not care but that is basically damaging the economy here. It’s gentrifying Mexico and the locals can’t afford to buy homes or rent. Like I said we don’t mind but the promotion of how cheap it is to live here disregards what people can afford because of what is normal for Mexicans to earn here. What you consider cheap for you may not be for most of Mexico.
I agree 💯 not fair for the locals at all.!! And there’s so many people here in California with money that are moving to Mexico.. it’s like they are trying to take more and more.. don’t get me wrong they probably love Mexico. But all these privileged white people are moving there and bragging about the cost.. saying it’s cheap. I don’t think anyone should constantly say one place is cheaper than another place.. NOT everyone can afford the same things..
@@justajokemayne5589 yep 💯 so sad… people with money ruin a lot of places too.. places loose their character, charm, ranches..! Rich people should just stay in the expensive places and that’s it..
I inmigrated 1993 to Mexico and have since 1999 the Mexican citicenship. Now I live in Acapulco and I am so happy to made the right decicion. I was born in Germany and watching the news, uffff, thanks God that I left my home-country. Now I´m saving money to buy my own house here on the beach. Little by little. :)
@@joshuasjericho3915 I think it is more safe here in Acapulco than in Mexico City. I got robbed in Mexico City a lot, but here in Acapulco where I live I have never been in danger. Many years Acapulco was dangerous, but now it´s very safe.

Beautiful country and Capital City. Megadiverse, art, culture, history and gastronomy. The weather in the high plateaus is one of the best in the world, the beaches among the best on Earth!. Mexico has the largest number of world-heritage sites in the Americas recognized by UNESCO.
Because all you despise us, thats the thing all Americans hate Mexico, and us the mexicans all of you treat us like trash, above all you discriminate us just because we are mexicans, or just because you cannot stand listening us speaking Spanish thats the reason because all of you discriminate us, and all of you Americans you hate us that is the point, I have watched so many times of how people like you attack, insult, yell, mistreat, discriminate, and bully us due to our nationality.
@@Lauranessa1 I’m not lying… USA have changed completely and it getting worst lol. Mexico pesos is now at 18. Something pesos compare to 20 pesos for ever 1 dollar. USA WILL SUFFER IN THE FUTURE
Shut up! you hate us, you hate mexicans, you discriminate, mistreat, attacks, insult, and yell at us just because we are from México, all of you Americans said you hate us so, Im tired of foreign people who always pretend to love Mexico, culture, people, when deep inside you just lying to yourselves Im tired of people like you Americans who pretend to like we the mexicans when deep inside all of you hate us and discriminate us due to our nationality.
@@JoseSanchez-fp3mp you are mistaken! Mexicans are not perfect! I will tell them when they fuck up or they try to steal or do some shady stuff! But its people “in general”, tend to be nice, helpful, cheerful, full of life, forgiving and humane! 100%
I'm an American of Mexican descent.... I have family in Guanajuato.... Their main concern is the influence foreigners bring to Mexico with their progressive mindset... I don't mean Mexico is a conservative sort of country, but the feeling that foreigners bring a lack self-accountability they live life.. Many in Mexico believe that is what's costing the destructive way of life in American cities....
@@gustavoperez5480 Please already.... I know what gentrification is. Yeah, it raised the cost of living.. Even here in the US people can't experiece open city life even in your so-called gentrification areas. That is why they go to many large Mexican cities not because it's cheaper, but to get that lively city VIBE.... U.S. cities with crime, homelessness, open drug use etc...
Mexico es el mejor país que he conocido soy dominicana pero como Mexico ninguno lo tiene todo sus gente muy amable nunca nos hacen sentir extraños en sus tierra San Miguel de Allende hermoso puebla ni se diga me encantó Mexico USA ya no hay nada q buscar hay mejores países con todo y más económicos.. bendiciones.. hermoso Mexico.. ?
Hay muchos paises q tienen su lugar magico. Desafortunadamente, no es para todos. Si tienes Dinero para comprar y vivir en uno de esos lugares magnifico! Claro , el dolar rinde mas pero por cuanto tiempo puede durar? La situation precaria es global.
We relocated to Morelia, Michoacan two years ago. My wife is a Mexican citizen and I am from Reno, Nevada. We sold everything we owned, furniture and cars. We packed five suitcases, and boarded the plane. We spent one month in Mexico City, with her family before going to Morelia to be with more family. The reason we came to Mexico is because I retired, and the cost of living was becoming unbearable in the states. My wife is ineligible for retirement payments from either Mexico, or the US due to her age. We're able to live famously on my Social Security income alone. We've been able to rent a beautiful home for 8000 pesos ($400 USD) and our entire monthly outgo, including utilities is less than $600.00. We're able to eat out at will, travel, and save easily. The people, culture, architecture, and of course, the food, are all amazing. Easily the best move I've ever made. We've never been victimized by any crime, and I've never been made to feel unwelcome. VIVA MEXICO 🇲🇽
I’m a big fan of foreigners visiting Mexico but not so much on them living here, especially Americans, don’t really mind other foreigners. Americans come to other countries and expect their culture to change because of them coming there, not to mention the gentrification they impose on these towns/cities. One perfect example I could think of is when I was in a friend’s house in San Miguel with my family celebrating christmas and we had these American neighbors, they started threatening us and telling us they will call the police if we didn’t stop the noise, keep in mind this was in CHRISTMAS and the whole town was celebrating. They started acting like the average american karens calling the police for a minor noise next home… Honestly we have widely different cultures and if you’re coming here to live here, make sure to respect the culture and the place you’re living in. This is not Boise, Idaho this is a whole different country… This also applies the other way around, I have the least amount of respect for Mexicans not respecting American culture when they go there to live too
I don't like gringo Jehova witness who go to Mexico in hopes to make everyone part of their kingdom halls. Those are the real dangerous people in your country. They want to end the Hispanic culture and devotion to JESUS CHRIST
La verdad es que cuando los extranjeros dicen "locales", piensan en mexicanos "pobres" económicamente. Los mexicanos de clase media alta o alta, buscan otras áreas para vivir donde prácticamente no hay extranjeros.
Gentrification is real down here. The mexican peso doesn't have the same buying power as the dollar so there are so many places in the country that are seeing a huge spike in prices which become almost impossible for the people who live there. Since covid, a lot of americans are coming to live here since they work remotely and they don't have a desire to take in the culture and be part of the mexican community, they simply want to save money. In the long run this doesn't seem good to most mexicans. It´s a free country though, I just wish our government would do something to mitigate the adverse effect this has on the locals.
pues recordemos cómo actúan los gringos, ya no la han aplicado con texas y después lo quisieron hacer en el itsmo de tehuantepec, llenar de ciudadanos gringos y luego pasa algo y entran y tienen el pretexto de que como son ciudadanos gringos pues no importan fronteras para actuar
Reverse gentrification is real in the US. When Mexicans move into a neighbourhood, they have a negative affect on the community, too. Crime goes up, property values are destroyed, and the quality of schools goes down. Tremendous pressure is put on the health-care system because the foreigners in the US don't pay their bills. In Mexico, a sick person has to pay up front or doesn't get care. Maybe you're going to tell me that isn't true, but it is for a foreigner. I could go on and on. The US has been putting up with this for decades. Yeah, they complain, and, yeah, you're complaining, too.
I went to SMA last winter for 7 weeks to celebrate turning 60! I showed my documentary film there and worked remotely as a coach. I loved it soooo much! I met so many nice people. This was well done and it made me happy to relive the feeling of SMA. Thanks
But why would you say such bullshit, when all of you say you hate us the mexicans and you hate our country all of you bully us, and discriminate us Yes Ive watched the news of how you Americans yell at us, insult us in your country America USA, because we speak Spanish you mistreat us, and trashes us always always so stop saying that you love our country and us the mexicans when that is not true Im tired of people who always pretend to love Mexico and its people when deep inside is not true you all Americans hate us and discriminate us.
Yes gentrification has become a topic here in Mexico, personally i need to see a proper study on how economic impact on domestic businesses offsets gentrification....yet we here in Mexico need to remember our paisanos who ask for a better life across the border, we must be congruent....basically the golden rule: do unto others....
The busses there blew our minds. Mes and Womens bathrooms and seats that you sink into! We were right down the street from you in Queretaro. Perfect blend of US and Mexico
I think as Americans and Europeans we see that tourism and expats are making these small towns better but in reality there are deep underlying issues that we cause and the locals are they ones that pay for it. It's not very clear cut tho.
Expats = immigrants No difference, it's just to make them feel that they have no necessity, so the Cubans Ukrainians, Venezuelan and other nationalities are expats in USA too or immigrants?
You should go to Mexicali ❤it’s super hot but the Chinese food it’s the best and the tacos are so yummy! We also have giant burritos ! … try Mexican sushi!!!
"My feminine side is blown away". So funny! I've been to both Bali + SMD. One thing that Bali has in spades over SMD is nature. I find that Mexican towns are all concrete - very, very nice concrete in this case but not enough green for me to live there. Both cultures are friendly but I find Mexicans to be the friendliest people I've come across in my travels. And I cannot get over the food and the beautiful decor. To die for. And your Spanish is impressive!
Hey Cinzia! Thanks for the nice comments about our places and people. Have u visited Saltillo, Coahuila? I live in here (have lived in many places before), and I think it's a beautiful city w a lot of opportunities. It has everything a big city has, but with a lot of green. You should visit sometime, it's only 40min away from Monterrey! Saludos!
We are retiring to Mexico in a few months. The first two places we eliminated from our list of possible cities were San Miguel de Allende and the Lake Chapala area. To each his own but what we did not want was an expat enclave with higher prices and culturally USA-light. We speak Spanish, have lived abroad before, and want a truly Mexican cultural experience.
@@billk8899 We plan to travel to many places- Cuenca, Ecuador Manizales, Colombia Arequipa, Peru Buenas Aires, Argentina ….turns out we may actually start in Matagalpa, Nicaragua instead of Mexico…long story but my wife is originally from Nicaragua.
This is the best video I’ve seen on San Miguel so far! I only stayed there for two weeks a couple of months ago. San Miguel would have to be the most beautiful place I’ve ever been to. I’m from Australia and the only problem I had was with cranky retired American women 😂
San Miguel was the first place I took a long vacation in Mexico. I didn't care for it much, and it was the Americans I didn't like. More the men than the women. Too outspoken and too political. Very rude, actually. Never went back.
Wow! You two make the most informative videos while also having fun and immersing yourselves in the culture. I learned what I needed to know about San Miguel. Thanks!
My husband and I loved your video on San Miguel de Allende! Can you tell us where you stayed? Also, your host was the one with the most! What a great guy to show you the down-to-earth real side of Mexico where real cowboys hangout and live their life working hard. Also, can you tell us the name of the restaurant you stated was the best food and guacamole you had there? We love to stay and eat at the very same places as you two did! We are moving from Portland, Oregon metro area to Mexico next year. I cannot wait to get back to part of my roots! I am half Mexican, after all! 😄
Mexico, a country full of culture and tradition, I really liked your video, I hope to return to that beautiful country soon. I hope to see the beaches of Cancun.
Hi there! I had originally came to your channel when we were considering expat living in Portugal. We had decided to shift our focus to Mexico; mainly because we still have 3 of our 4 parents alive and it would be best that we are closer to the US. And, here, I see you two are in Mexico now! Bonus!! I need to get caught up on your Mexico series. We have done 2 exploratory trips to Mexico since September; one to Mazatlan and one to Mexico City. We generally are looking for a Centro type life style where e can walk to everything….and there is a ton of stuff going on every day. And, we are live music fans; either a gringo band or a host nation band…it doesn’t matter at all. We left Mazatlan still preferring their Centro. But, for Mexico City, the Centro didn’t do it for us. Don’t get me wrong, the buildings were incredible. Maybe it was the extreme hustle bustle were we didn’t feel a community feel. We found that down in Coyoacan. Ironically, the big expat areas of Poland, Roma, and Condesa didn’t do it for us. But….in Coyoacan, we felt like we could befriend the locals in that area. This spring, we are planning to go see Oaxaca. My wife’s aunt goes there yearly and it would be awesome to visit with her….or maybe we do a joint venture on a place. And though I have generally discounted the mega gringo spots of San Miguel or Ajijic, I think we should visit at least on of those spots. Your video here of San Miguel is incredible! Safe travels!
I’m so happy you all like San Miguelito Allende, I came to USA and been treated real good, so my beautiful Americans now is time to come and live some time of your life with your Mexican friends.
Hello, Los Altos de Jalisco is a very beautiful city, the 100% Spanish descent dominates there, and there is also Chipilo in Puebla, their language is Veneto ,but also they speak Spanish, they are all of Italian descent. Very nice cities.
Interesting how you emphasize that towns with “100% European” as if European want to see that. I’m sure they much rather see the indigenous communities to see things that are different.
@@elvisjd710 why not is our ancestry and we should be proud of it regardless, doesn’t take away from others, it doesn’t makes it more than neither everyone is important enough, ViVa Jalisco and our ancestry, also Mexico is a Cosmopolitan and multicultural country everyone from everywhere is there
@@ArielleVicMaxim Right on, Liz G. I prefer to go to the wealthier areas in Mexico. I love the architecture and the style of the people. Pure Spanish Mexicans are very cosmopolitan and charming.
I am Mexican and this type of social movements, which for the foreigner who can afford to live, has become a problem for the locals due to the increase of costs in the places where they come to stay. It is good that they come as tourists to our country but when they come to live here it is a threat to the life of the local people who cannot compete with their capital and we have to move to the most marginalized places.
To Americans moving to Mexico. If you are working remote for an American company and you want to rent long term for $700usd a month (usually a 500 to 1000 sq ft loft or 2-3 bedroom house in a sketchy neighborhood) it makes sense to move to Mexico. Hopefully your American remote job allows for you to leave your country. If you don't have a remote jobs, how will you have sustainable living at $2,500usd per month, which is recommended in order to get permanent residency? If you think you are going to buy a house, time share, luxury rental and use it as an airbnb, the Municipal in San Miguel de Allende just passed a law that you have to pay the exploitive price of $45,000mx per year $2,500usd for a permit just to run only 1 rental on any digital platform. You will also be required to pay 20% of each rental or booking to State and another 20% t to Federal. If you think you are going to make money off of a rental, long term, underground style/cash only, you will be in competition with all the hundreds of expats and Mexicans who are also renting rooms in places like San Miguel. If you are an artist moving to San Miguel there is a lot of competition, over 200 galleries, most commercial artists, who pay to play and there are months where some of the galleries don't sell or sell very little, because San Miguel is a small town and not Mexico City or Monterrey. San Miguel needs other types of jobs outside of tourism, like technology. If you get a work permit to work in Mexico for a Mexican business, expect to be paid 1/3 less than American jobs. Not trying to be negative. But after living more than 20 years in Mexico, I wanted to give a reality check, so those of you who really want to move here, can prepare financially for your future.
It's highly unrealistic for someone to move from the US to Mexico unless they can bring a job or income with them. I see people in the comments asking how should they go about looking for a job and on top of that, they don't speak Spanish. I suppose there's a lot of talk and few are going to actually move, but most of them have a lot to learn.
Que Fue super bien! My humble apologies for taking so long to watch, but it was so awesome to see this space through your eyes. It was my honor and pleasure to spend time with you both! I am sure we will see you again! I have another amazing story that emerged from Don Taco Tequila that i will link you into!
As a mexican what i find annoying is that all the americans coming to Mexico don't even bother to learn the languaje. They always say "yOu ArE iN AmERica You ShoUld sPeak EnGlish" but the moment they come here they don't even try to learn.
That's ridiculous, I want to move there also, but other than finding a house and a job, my second job is to learn the language ASAP. For them to expect everyone speak English is extremely arrogant.
@Maybelater50 As long as you try to speak some Spanish, you will find support anywhere. Nobody will make fun or criticize your efforts. The more you risk, the faster you will learn! ¡Andale!
I agree if one doesn’t make an effort to learn Spanish while living in Mexico, that’s annoying. But I must defend my Canadian husband who is smart and kind but has a difficult time learning languages. He tries but a new language doesn’t seem to stick in his brain. I grew up learning Spanish, so I can communicate in Spanish on a basic level when we travel to Spanish speaking countries. I imagine if we immersed, he might have an easier time with the language
We've been undecided about Portugal vs Mexico forever. Mexico and it's people are vibrant. One feels alive. Portugal on the other hand, is beautiful but is a bit sleepy and unmotivating the culture melancholic. It's also getting so expensive and not worth what you get. In Mexico the homes are spectacular and significantly more affordable.
I am now a sub after watching two video's I must say I got very good laughs watching this one. The people are as you say so authentic and real. Americans are so wound up and freaked out. You pass people in the streets with no eye contact or enough courtesy to say hello. Iam so tired of this shit! Love your video, plan to watch more...been thinking of moving there for 3 years now.Wasting my life I feel.
Nope, but I sure would visit...That hacienda was incredible! I am from California and know I will never move back...My heart and home is in Portugal and for goid reason! I really enjoyed this vlog and your interaction with the 'authentic' people which you seem to always strive for!! Amelie(correct?), CUTE couple of dresses...Bought in Mexico? Continued wonderful Mexico travels!!
You're both ''selling out''. Mexico paid for your vacation there n hotel n food n car rentals, etc. Mexico has some nice areas as we all know in USA but you're saying lots of Americans are moving to Mexico because they paid for your VACATION there. STOP SELLING OUT PLZ U 2, lmfao at both of you reading a script.....Guess what's gonna happen? PPL LIKE ME THAT BEEN UR FANS SINCE YOU BOTH WERE REAL N HONEST.....WILL LEAVE UR NEW FAKE ASS CHAT SITE. If HAITI flys you there n gives u a 5star hotel suit n a mercedes n free food n pays you $10K, next week you'll say HAITI is so much nicer than Domenican Republic. U BOTH SOLD OUT, i'd do the same thing for the money....LMFAO.
@@anibalvalente3017 - some heavy assumptions you’re making. We have not been paid by anyone. Do you see any sponsors in the video? Nope. This trip has been out of our own pocket and it’s been expensive. If you look closely we recently uploaded a video where we got scammed in Mexico. Not exactly the kind of video the Mexican tourism board (or whoever you think pays us) would want to see 😂!
I LOVE these videos of you guys visiting the state of Guanajuato! My parents were born & raised there. I lived my first 9 years there now I live in Atlanta. I loved the Saint Miguel video & the Guanajuato City video, could you PLEASE do a video on Moroleon, Guanajuato. I’ve been telling ppl for years this is one of the fastest growing cities in Mexico & we are the leading city of the textile industry in Mexico. We have clothing stores lined for miles literally. & there’s much more. Pls consider it
Beautiful? why bothering saying that if you all of you Americans despise us, despise our country, our culture, above all the people, we the mexicans you bully, discriminate, attack, insult, yell, mistreat us just because our nationality or you cannot stand listening us speaking Spanish with our familiars, our music too stop pretending to love my My dear Mexico(México lindo) when deep inside you are all lying, I already know that I have watched it so many times on the news of how Americans people like you humiliate us really bad Im gonna ask you favor stop saying mockery because Americans thats not for you to say.
I agree 100% is about authenticity all about life .I don't care about a big house or a expensive car or having a lot of money and material things .I'm just looking to live a simple life in a beautiful and safe place full of great food and wonderful friends .
I literally started crying when I read your post. I am middle age now, and just figuring out that all along, friends, family are the most important things. I spent so much time chasing a nicer car, nicer job, more and more useless crap that I accumulated. I am finally simplifying my life now.
another excellent video! I was worried at first that you were going to say the reason was only because of the lower prices. but of course its about quality of life and freedom vs our "more advanced countries" where everything is getting to be soulless and joyless. everything is about safety and corporatism and it is literally destroying our humanity. we are nothing but consumers and tax payers back there. in Mexico the human spirit is free to thrive and you can make many more decisions for yourself... like drinking water out of a puddle in the middle of a field! or having an entire family of 5 people on a motorcycle with no helmets! I've stayed in about 15 different places in Mexico so far but didnt go to San Miguel yet. it looks amazing. I have a Mexican girlfriend who works as an English teacher in Guadalajara so I have made this city home for now. its a very civilized mix of traditional and modern.
You are right about freedom! is probably another thing that any American or Canadian is gonna experience in Mexico, I’ve seen videos of Americans living in Mexico saying how at the beginning, you probably won’t notice, but as time passes you will feel more “free”, in many aspects, one aspect is that in Mexico you are not over regulated, you don’t need permissions to build a house, or to add rooms, or to put a little business in front of your house or to have a hotdog cart , ir if you have your family in the back of an open truck, or if you want to have a henhouse and the rooster starts singing, the police won’t come at your door. that’s what comes to my head but there’s plenty of examples.
Sooooo many fond memories of San Miguel! Your Airbnb was *gorgeous* and really captured the corazon of the city ❤️ Next time you return, head to Nirvana Restaurant and Retreat, ~20 mins outside San Miguel. Like the name implies, it truly is an idyllic place. An absolute must try are the hibiscus tacos! 🌺🌮😋
Fuimos en Bus en navidad desde Ciudad de mexico y el bus es fabuloso, economico mejor que primera clase en avion, seguro, y San Miguel hermoso. Nos encanto.
Yeah it a little Mexican paradise. At least for now. Haha, we are not moving here. We were just joking around and daydreaming. 😅 it’s hard not to daydream of a life here.
Why pretending to love us the mexicans when deep inside you dont. You abuse us, you insult us, you yell at us, and forbidd us to speak our native language all of you are racist.
San Miguel is such a beautiful place. Your video captured it very well, but it would take hours to show all of the many beautiful places in that town. I really appreciate your photography and editing. Extremely well done. Please let me know what editing program you use. Thanks, and Dios te bendiga. (God bless you!)
If you are looking for mountains go to , the Alpes , or the Himalayas , , if you want beaches , go to Hawaii , if you want cities with nice cathedrals , nice cobblestone an colonial cities , you may go to some places in central y South America , if yo want deserts , rivers , nice valleys pyramids, awesome, flora and fauna , milenary cultures , go to China or India or Egypt It you want something of this , you got to travel Sometimes , thousands an thousand s of miles If you want all this all together, great people nice people , milenary culture Go to Mexico
Gentrificación, después la misma gente de Mexico no podrá pagar y no le alcanzará porque las personas que emigran tienen mayor poder adquisitivo por el dolar $$
The world economy is about to take a nosedive, so you won't have tourists and digital nomads to worry about much longer. Wonder what that will do to the small business that cater to that clientele and the landlords who are used to gringo-pricing them and getting away with it.
Thank you for a unique video on SMA! Very nice. Im American and hope to retire there in July 2023. I was wondering if you were South African- i seem to detect sone Afrikaans accent wirh rhis wonderful lady ( i lived in Cape Town for several years. Best Lane
I fail to see the difference between this and flooding an area with cheap labor, thus lowering the wages of locals, making it more difficult for them to afford their bills. Different tactic, same result.
11/22/22 beautiful place to visit. We were there for 10days last month. It's breath taking. We enjoyed it, we are ready to go back. Hard working people. Amazing ♥️♥️
That town looks truly impressive and what an amazing place you stayed in. I would definitely visit but not move there because I would rather be on the coast near the beaches. Also potential water shortages could be a big problem in the future. Kudos to you trying out your Spanish you are doing very well. Remember with words that have two l's like Estrella it's pronounced like a y sound.
I don’t like it when locals are pushed out and the prices of things are rising! I see that here in my state with everyone seems to be moving here and we locals can’t afford the houses and people wanting to change our cities and state for the worse.

Yep! Money could never buy that
I'm an American of Mexican descent.... I have family in Guanajuato.... Their main concern is the influence foreigners bring to Mexico with their progressive mindset... I don't mean Mexico is a conservative sort of country, but the feeling that foreigners bring a lack self-accountability they live life.. Many in Mexico believe that is what's costing the destructive way of life in American cities....
I disagree with you what is truly bad here is the promotion of gentrification.
@@gustavoperez5480 Please already.... I know what gentrification is. Yeah, it raised the cost of living.. Even here in the US people can't experiece open city life even in your so-called gentrification areas. That is why they go to many large Mexican cities not because it's cheaper, but to get that lively city VIBE.... U.S. cities with crime, homelessness, open drug use etc...
Mexico es el mejor país que he conocido soy dominicana pero como Mexico ninguno lo tiene todo sus gente muy amable nunca nos hacen sentir extraños en sus tierra San Miguel de Allende hermoso puebla ni se diga me encantó Mexico USA ya no hay nada q buscar hay mejores países con todo y más económicos.. bendiciones.. hermoso Mexico.. ?
Gracias amiga Dominicana por alagar mi país
Eso es porque no ha visitado el país más hermoso del mundo, el más biodiverso del mundo por Km²: Exacto: COLOMBIA.
Hay muchos paises q tienen su lugar magico. Desafortunadamente, no es para todos. Si tienes Dinero para comprar y vivir en uno de esos lugares magnifico! Claro , el dolar rinde mas pero por cuanto tiempo puede durar? La situation precaria es global.
Soy Mexicano y te digo que las Filipinas se parece mucho a Mexico. La gente la comida y tambien ay mucho que hacer alla. Es un país muy hermosa.
Gracias por hablar de tan hermosa forma de mi país.
We relocated to Morelia, Michoacan two years ago. My wife is a Mexican citizen and I am from Reno, Nevada. We sold everything we owned, furniture and cars. We packed five suitcases, and boarded the plane.
We spent one month in Mexico City, with her family before going to Morelia to be with more family.
The reason we came to Mexico is because I retired, and the cost of living was becoming unbearable in the states. My wife is ineligible for retirement payments from either Mexico, or the US due to her age. We're able to live famously on my Social Security income alone. We've been able to rent a beautiful home for 8000 pesos ($400 USD) and our entire monthly outgo, including utilities is less than $600.00.
We're able to eat out at will, travel, and save easily. The people, culture, architecture, and of course, the food, are all amazing. Easily the best move I've ever made. We've never been victimized by any crime, and I've never been made to feel unwelcome.
VIVA MEXICO 🇲🇽
I’m a big fan of foreigners visiting Mexico but not so much on them living here, especially Americans, don’t really mind other foreigners. Americans come to other countries and expect their culture to change because of them coming there, not to mention the gentrification they impose on these towns/cities.
One perfect example I could think of is when I was in a friend’s house in San Miguel with my family celebrating christmas and we had these American neighbors, they started threatening us and telling us they will call the police if we didn’t stop the noise, keep in mind this was in CHRISTMAS and the whole town was celebrating. They started acting like the average american karens calling the police for a minor noise next home…
Honestly we have widely different cultures and if you’re coming here to live here, make sure to respect the culture and the place you’re living in. This is not Boise, Idaho this is a whole different country…
This also applies the other way around, I have the least amount of respect for Mexicans not respecting American culture when they go there to live too
I agree with you. The respect needs to go both ways. Peace and love to you in the new year
@@joyodrobina6893 To you too friend!
I don't like gringo Jehova witness who go to Mexico in hopes to make everyone part of their kingdom halls. Those are the real dangerous people in your country. They want to end the Hispanic culture and devotion to JESUS CHRIST
Don’t Mexicans do that in America lol
@@ayuanabradford3206 Exactly what I said at the end of my comment if you would’ve read it all. Respect goes both ways

What will you do when the water is gone?
Solo escuche a gringos diciendo "Esta vida no leas alcanza a los locales, pero a nosotros si por que los ángeles es muy caro, así que múdense aca"
La verdad es que cuando los extranjeros dicen "locales", piensan en mexicanos "pobres" económicamente. Los mexicanos de clase media alta o alta, buscan otras áreas para vivir donde prácticamente no hay extranjeros.
@@miguel-dh4jc el 43% de la población mexicana vive en la pobreza
It's a paradise for Americans .

@@desertsunset8025until the water runs out…
Gentrification is real down here. The mexican peso doesn't have the same buying power as the dollar so there are so many places in the country that are seeing a huge spike in prices which become almost impossible for the people who live there. Since covid, a lot of americans are coming to live here since they work remotely and they don't have a desire to take in the culture and be part of the mexican community, they simply want to save money. In the long run this doesn't seem good to most mexicans. It´s a free country though, I just wish our government would do something to mitigate the adverse effect this has on the locals.
pues recordemos cómo actúan los gringos, ya no la han aplicado con texas y después lo quisieron hacer en el itsmo de tehuantepec, llenar de ciudadanos gringos y luego pasa algo y entran y tienen el pretexto de que como son ciudadanos gringos pues no importan fronteras para actuar
Reverse gentrification is real in the US. When Mexicans move into a neighbourhood, they have a negative affect on the community, too.
Crime goes up, property values are destroyed, and the quality of schools goes down. Tremendous pressure is put on the health-care system because the foreigners in the US don't pay their bills. In Mexico, a sick person has to pay up front or doesn't get care. Maybe you're going to tell me that isn't true, but it is for a foreigner.
I could go on and on. The US has been putting up with this for decades. Yeah, they complain, and, yeah, you're complaining, too.
I went to SMA last winter for 7 weeks to celebrate turning 60! I showed my documentary film there and worked remotely as a coach. I loved it soooo much! I met so many nice people. This was well done and it made me happy to relive the feeling of SMA. Thanks
But why would you say such bullshit, when all of you say you hate us the mexicans and you hate our country all of you bully us, and discriminate us Yes Ive watched the news of how you Americans yell at us, insult us in your country America USA, because we speak Spanish you mistreat us, and trashes us always always so stop saying that you love our country and us the mexicans when that is not true Im tired of people who always pretend to love Mexico and its people when deep inside is not true you all Americans hate us and discriminate us.
You should start talking in your videos about gentrification and why gringos moving to latin america are affecting our comminities.
Yea , the crime from illegals is a struggle in states . I'm not sure if you have to worry about that in Mexico .
Visit the city of Guanajuato. You’ll love it. Not far from San Miguel.
Next video 🤘❤️🤗
I love how you two immerse yourselves and are fearless about speaking Spanish.
Yes gentrification has become a topic here in Mexico, personally i need to see a proper study on how economic impact on domestic businesses offsets gentrification....yet we here in Mexico need to remember our paisanos who ask for a better life across the border, we must be congruent....basically the golden rule: do unto others....
Enjoying your videos. Was in Mexico, Belize and Guatemala in 2000, and Guanajuarto was my favourite Mexican city to visit.
The busses there blew our minds. Mes and Womens bathrooms and seats that you sink into! We were right down the street from you in Queretaro. Perfect blend of US and Mexico
I think as Americans and Europeans we see that tourism and expats are making these small towns better but in reality there are deep underlying issues that we cause and the locals are they ones that pay for it. It's not very clear cut tho.
Expats = immigrants
No difference, it's just to make them feel that they have no necessity, so the Cubans Ukrainians, Venezuelan and other nationalities are expats in USA too or immigrants?
It’s a trade off, the negative is that locals have to move to less expensive areas, but foreigners bring money to the economy and that helps.
A lot of expats donate their time and money in the community . Some , not so much .
Vivir en Mexico ganando dolares es el verdaddero sueño Americano😊
You should go to Mexicali ❤it’s super hot but the Chinese food it’s the best and the tacos are so yummy! We also have giant burritos ! … try Mexican sushi!!!
Mexican sushi... lol ! i've heard many good things about Mexicali.
It gets too hot though, you can't live without A/C! I prefer Tijuana,Tecate or Ensenada!!
Great video 👍,i'm in love with the beautiful San Miguel de Allende ❤.
It's such an amazing place!
"My feminine side is blown away". So funny! I've been to both Bali + SMD. One thing that Bali has in spades over SMD is nature. I find that Mexican towns are all concrete - very, very nice concrete in this case but not enough green for me to live there. Both cultures are friendly but I find Mexicans to be the friendliest people I've come across in my travels. And I cannot get over the food and the beautiful decor. To die for. And your Spanish is impressive!
What part of Mexico have you been too? Because the more south you go the more jungle.
Valle de bravo y Avandaro, is like sma but green.
Hey Cinzia! Thanks for the nice comments about our places and people. Have u visited Saltillo, Coahuila? I live in here (have lived in many places before), and I think it's a beautiful city w a lot of opportunities. It has everything a big city has, but with a lot of green. You should visit sometime, it's only 40min away from Monterrey! Saludos!
thank you for being Brave and Showing the POSITIVE OF our Nation!!! greetings from Georgia Usa!!!
If you guys liked San Miguel de Allende, wait until you go to San Cristóbal de las Casas !!
Don't fill it up Americans, because you'll turn San Miguel into another dull American city.
I moved to San Miguel last year and I love it! The city gives you a big hug and welcomes you in.
We are retiring to Mexico in a few months. The first two places we eliminated from our list of possible cities were San Miguel de Allende and the Lake Chapala area. To each his own but what we did not want was an expat enclave with higher prices and culturally USA-light.
We speak Spanish, have lived abroad before, and want a truly Mexican cultural experience.
Where is did you consider?

This is the best video I’ve seen on San Miguel so far! I only stayed there for two weeks a couple of months ago. San Miguel would have to be the most beautiful place I’ve ever been to. I’m from Australia and the only problem I had was with cranky retired American women 😂
Hahahaha....😳 Mujeres mal humoradas.
Lol😊
Yes, yes.
Lol . We have the same problem in the states 🇺🇲.
San Miguel was the first place I took a long vacation in Mexico. I didn't care for it much, and it was the Americans I didn't like. More the men than the women. Too outspoken and too political. Very rude, actually. Never went back.
Wow! You two make the most informative videos while also having fun and immersing yourselves in the culture. I learned what I needed to know about San Miguel. Thanks!
Makes me want to book a flight and visit Mexico❤️❤️it’s beautiful, great job documenting it🙌🏼
My husband and I loved your video on San Miguel de Allende! Can you tell us where you stayed? Also, your host was the one with the most! What a great guy to show you the down-to-earth real side of Mexico where real cowboys hangout and live their life working hard. Also, can you tell us the name of the restaurant you stated was the best food and guacamole you had there? We love to stay and eat at the very same places as you two did! We are moving from Portland, Oregon metro area to Mexico next year. I cannot wait to get back to part of my roots! I am half Mexican, after all! 😄
Come and see Queretaro. And...the "real Mexico" is all, old and new.
Mexico and the People are fabulous !!!

Mexico, a country full of culture and tradition, I really liked your video, I hope to return to that beautiful country soon. I hope to see the beaches of Cancun.
We saw several mediocre videos on San Miguel before I remembered seeing that y'all had visited. This was a big help for our trip planning. Thanks!
Hi there! I had originally came to your channel when we were considering expat living in Portugal. We had decided to shift our focus to Mexico; mainly because we still have 3 of our 4 parents alive and it would be best that we are closer to the US. And, here, I see you two are in Mexico now! Bonus!! I need to get caught up on your Mexico series.
We have done 2 exploratory trips to Mexico since September; one to Mazatlan and one to Mexico City. We generally are looking for a Centro type life style where e can walk to everything….and there is a ton of stuff going on every day. And, we are live music fans; either a gringo band or a host nation band…it doesn’t matter at all.
We left Mazatlan still preferring their Centro. But, for Mexico City, the Centro didn’t do it for us. Don’t get me wrong, the buildings were incredible. Maybe it was the extreme hustle bustle were we didn’t feel a community feel. We found that down in Coyoacan. Ironically, the big expat areas of Poland, Roma, and Condesa didn’t do it for us. But….in Coyoacan, we felt like we could befriend the locals in that area.
This spring, we are planning to go see Oaxaca. My wife’s aunt goes there yearly and it would be awesome to visit with her….or maybe we do a joint venture on a place. And though I have generally discounted the mega gringo spots of San Miguel or Ajijic, I think we should visit at least on of those spots.
Your video here of San Miguel is incredible!
Safe travels!
Te recomiendo Querétaro
I’m so happy you all like San Miguelito Allende, I came to USA and been treated real good, so my beautiful Americans now is time to come and live some time of your life with your Mexican friends.
Hello, Los Altos de Jalisco is a very beautiful city, the 100% Spanish descent dominates there, and there is also Chipilo in Puebla, their language is Veneto ,but also they speak Spanish, they are all of Italian descent. Very nice cities.

Interesting how you emphasize that towns with “100% European” as if European want to see that. I’m sure they much rather see the indigenous communities to see things that are different.

Been living in Mexico for the past 9 years and I still get pay in dollars and I have no regrets 🤙🏻
You are part of the problem
I am Mexican and this type of social movements, which for the foreigner who can afford to live, has become a problem for the locals due to the increase of costs in the places where they come to stay. It is good that they come as tourists to our country but when they come to live here it is a threat to the life of the local people who cannot compete with their capital and we have to move to the most marginalized places.
Lie. From Iztacalco
To Americans moving to Mexico. If you are working remote for an American company and you want to rent long term for $700usd a month (usually a 500 to 1000 sq ft loft or 2-3 bedroom house in a sketchy neighborhood) it makes sense to move to Mexico. Hopefully your American remote job allows for you to leave your country. If you don't have a remote jobs, how will you have sustainable living at $2,500usd per month, which is recommended in order to get permanent residency? If you think you are going to buy a house, time share, luxury rental and use it as an airbnb, the Municipal in San Miguel de Allende just passed a law that you have to pay the exploitive price of $45,000mx per year $2,500usd for a permit just to run only 1 rental on any digital platform. You will also be required to pay 20% of each rental or booking to State and another 20% t to Federal. If you think you are going to make money off of a rental, long term, underground style/cash only, you will be in competition with all the hundreds of expats and Mexicans who are also renting rooms in places like San Miguel. If you are an artist moving to San Miguel there is a lot of competition, over 200 galleries, most commercial artists, who pay to play and there are months where some of the galleries don't sell or sell very little, because San Miguel is a small town and not Mexico City or Monterrey. San Miguel needs other types of jobs outside of tourism, like technology. If you get a work permit to work in Mexico for a Mexican business, expect to be paid 1/3 less than American jobs. Not trying to be negative. But after living more than 20 years in Mexico, I wanted to give a reality check, so those of you who really want to move here, can prepare financially for your future.
It's highly unrealistic for someone to move from the US to Mexico unless they can bring a job or income with them.
I see people in the comments asking how should they go about looking for a job and on top of that, they don't speak Spanish. I suppose there's a lot of talk and few are going to actually move, but most of them have a lot to learn.
Que Fue super bien! My humble apologies for taking so long to watch, but it was so awesome to see this space through your eyes. It was my honor and pleasure to spend time with you both! I am sure we will see you again! I have another amazing story that emerged from Don Taco Tequila that i will link you into!
As a mexican what i find annoying is that all the americans coming to Mexico don't even bother to learn the languaje. They always say "yOu ArE iN AmERica You ShoUld sPeak EnGlish" but the moment they come here they don't even try to learn.
I agree. With few except8ons, most of the don't bother, even with the minimum. And some even demand us to speak English!!
That's ridiculous, I want to move there also, but other than finding a house and a job, my second job is to learn the language ASAP. For them to expect everyone speak English is extremely arrogant.
@Maybelater50 As long as you try to speak some Spanish, you will find support anywhere. Nobody will make fun or criticize your efforts. The more you risk, the faster you will learn! ¡Andale!
Arrogance.
Overspending .
Showoffs and bullies.
Even Portugal wants them all out!
I hope they get it..
I agree if one doesn’t make an effort to learn Spanish while living in Mexico, that’s annoying. But I must defend my Canadian husband who is smart and kind but has a difficult time learning languages. He tries but a new language doesn’t seem to stick in his brain. I grew up learning Spanish, so I can communicate in Spanish on a basic level when we travel to Spanish speaking countries. I imagine if we immersed, he might have an easier time with the language
I love you guys 😘. Welcome to Mexico.
Thank you so much 🙏❤️
Fantastic blog. Thank you. Please include as many prices as possible
Good video guys!!! Resident of San Miguel 15 years and you captured it right on
We've been undecided about Portugal vs Mexico forever. Mexico and it's people are vibrant. One feels alive. Portugal on the other hand, is beautiful but is a bit sleepy and unmotivating the culture melancholic. It's also getting so expensive and not worth what you get. In Mexico the homes are spectacular and significantly more affordable.

San Miguel isn’t authentic
Just a big tourist trap that sells the culture
An excellent video highly recommended Thank you very much for sharing
Great work guys. Thank you.
another excellent video! I was worried at first that you were going to say the reason was only because of the lower prices. but of course its about quality of life and freedom vs our "more advanced countries" where everything is getting to be soulless and joyless. everything is about safety and corporatism and it is literally destroying our humanity. we are nothing but consumers and tax payers back there. in Mexico the human spirit is free to thrive and you can make many more decisions for yourself... like drinking water out of a puddle in the middle of a field! or having an entire family of 5 people on a motorcycle with no helmets! I've stayed in about 15 different places in Mexico so far but didnt go to San Miguel yet. it looks amazing. I have a Mexican girlfriend who works as an English teacher in Guadalajara so I have made this city home for now. its a very civilized mix of traditional and modern.
You are right about freedom! is probably another thing that any American or Canadian is gonna experience in Mexico, I’ve seen videos of Americans living in Mexico saying how at the beginning, you probably won’t notice, but as time passes you will feel more “free”, in many aspects, one aspect is that in Mexico you are not over regulated, you don’t need permissions to build a house, or to add rooms, or to put a little business in front of your house or to have a hotdog cart , ir if you have your family in the back of an open truck, or if you want to have a henhouse and the rooster starts singing, the police won’t come at your door.
that’s what comes to my head but there’s plenty of examples.
Sooooo many fond memories of San Miguel! Your Airbnb was *gorgeous* and really captured the corazon of the city ❤️ Next time you return, head to Nirvana Restaurant and Retreat, ~20 mins outside San Miguel. Like the name implies, it truly is an idyllic place. An absolute must try are the hibiscus tacos!

The world economy is about to take a nosedive, so you won't have tourists and digital nomads to worry about much longer.

Yes it’s getting more expensive & locals getting pushed out due to so many digital nomad videos saying how cheap it is…

11/22/22 beautiful place to visit. We were there for 10days last month. It's breath taking. We enjoyed it, we are ready to go back. Hard working people. Amazing ♥️♥️
That town looks truly impressive and what an amazing place you stayed in. I would definitely visit but not move there because I would rather be on the coast near the beaches. Also potential water shortages could be a big problem in the future. Kudos to you trying out your Spanish you are doing very well. Remember with words that have two l's like Estrella it's pronounced like a y sound.
I don’t like it when locals are pushed out and the prices of things are rising! I see that here in my state with everyone seems to be moving here and we locals can’t afford the houses and people wanting to change our cities and state for the worse.
Great video 👍
It's upside down. The house owner doesn't need English subtitles. The Danish guy is the one who needs the subtitles, but you get used to his accent.
