Wowwwww Mexico is incredible, fantastic, food, art, history, people. I would like to see more and more videos like this, and you’re very handsome and humble ❤
great I am your subscriber number 462 I am one of the first, success and remember that in Mexico we love people who know how to appreciate the beauty of our land
Some of these shots are stunning. You have an incredible sense of photography and filmmaking, thanks for portraying the beauty of Mexico in this way, I really enjoyed it. Definitely looking forward to your next videos.
Hey, thank you for your comment. I hope you are well. I'm sure it is, I saw a small part of it, a town called Valladolid which is in part 3. A dream of mine was to see the pelicans near Merida, unfortunately, I didn't make it. One day I hope.
Tremendous Capital City!.. Visitors quickly realize and fell the rich history, culture, traditions, architecture, art and eclectic and delicious gastronomy. Mexico City is just fascinating, so much to explore and discover! Mexico, the country has the largest number of world heritage sites recognized by UNESCO in the Americas. In Mex City, you can find 5! Nice vid!!!
@@strongtowerman9661 The present Mexican territory is, and has been amazing for millennia. Hundreds of Cultures and Civilizations, It is very evident the true greatness of Mexico!
This is something I thought about. I wondered if my presence was raising the cost of living? And I hoped the locals were not paying the same prices as me.
I am a morning guy. You see more in morning. Great work. 2012 to 2018. I worked in Jeffersonvill Indiana, Mishawaka Indiana , elkhart indiana and Shepardvill kentucky. I remember my co workers taking me to a Mexicano restaurant Taco Bell, Taco Bell is not Mexicano Food. They have no idea. I made enemies and great friends. I find it funny today when I visit . I get off at Louisville Kentucky airport and, I say Shepardvill kentucky. They look at me, y ou sure,…. I have good friends there. Downey California ❤❤❤. Mexicano Beverly Hills. Downey California
I didn't merely enjoy the shots, I LOVED them. The way you tell a story and the beauty of your footage is just incredible. Can't believe it's been so long since the trip to Olympus; glad it won't be as long until the next vid in this series. Thank you!
Hello Mathew in Mexico we say " mi casa es tu casa" and we realy mean it, welcome any day. I am from Guerrero State and I have to say everyone has its own flavor
Thank you for sharing!! I really appreciate the fact that you presented Mexico City in a different way than most RUclipsrs that come here. They tend to be quite condescending to the millions of us that actually live here! Absolutely love the cinematography! Beautiful!
I think it is important to remember how little I know, to be aware of the prejudice I might bring from 'The West' and to speak in a way that acknowledges that. In all the videos I make I will try to do the same. I am not here to tell people what they should and shouldn't do, and I am not here to speak on behalf of anyone but myself. I hope it stays that way. Thank you for your comment, I appreciate it. :)
@@matthewjohnmurphy I land in Mexico City on the 4th December and return to Lisbon on the 31st December also from Mexico City. Will spend new years in the air :) I was thinking of spending 4 days in Mexico city and surrounds to get over Jetlag and then before I return another 3days. In between I'll play it by ear, See where the journey takes me, but think I definitely I want to go to Oaxaca , the Tulum area. Not too sure yet :)
NYE in the air sounds fascinating, I bet the whole cabin count down haha. One thing that I regret is not having time to head down to Puerto Escondido. When I was in Oaxaca everyone I met was heading south, I was the only one heading towards Yucutan. Definitely something to consider, I have heard amazing things. Very jealous, I hope you have an amazing time. :)
I’m a Mexican 56yr old man that has been living I’m the USA for almost 50yrs. I love to here n see videos from other people that visit my place off birth.. I know ur going to visit Mexico 🇲🇽 again.. I hope ur enjoy your next visit.. I know I’m coming home next year and live the rest off my life in my home town off Ixtlan Del Río Nayarit México
No suelo comentar pero hermano es increíble la calidad de tus videos! No tengo como apoyarte por ahora mas que subscribiendome, compartiendo y dando like deseandote el mayor de los exitos carnal! Saludos desde Yucatan! 🇲🇽
maybe I can help, yo igual estoy impresionado carnal. I don't often comment on anything, but the quality of your shots is incredible! I was reminded of Bourdain for a second!!
Matt, Gwynne Williams here, an old college friend of your dad's. Loved the video. I've been to Mexico many times and you portrayed it so well. The cinematography was excellent. I look forward to watching your second installment.
Really good content and well spoken descriptions. I liked that you don’t just give tips for the places but you give a objective viewpoint about unique places in Mexico.
SUSCRITO! The content of your video is so beautiful and artistic … muchas gracias for capturing the soul of my culture . I can’t wait to see part 2 in my favorite city in Mexico : Oaxaca
Bro… I felt what you said, I always travel solo and sometimes find myself doing exciting things that everybody else is doing in group, and it’s a bit odd but kinda enjoyable as well. As Mexican I can tell, We love foreigners, you just need to talk to anybody and they will happily speak to you, take you home to see the authentic life, ride a horse, see the countryside, taste homemade food, etc., at least that’s what I would do. You just need to learn a bit or Spanish 🙃
You are right, everyone was so welcoming, I felt it. One Uber driver even asked if I'd like to come to his daughter's Birthday Party and the hotel owner in Valladolid would drive me into town. Talking to people in Spanish through Google Translate was something I really enjoyed too. And sometimes something we would have a laugh about. Thanks for the comment dude, look after yourself. Matt
You made a great video, I enjoyed your perspective. There is so much more, the Chapultepec park and Castle, the grout restaurant in Teotihuacan, the museums, etc. I have a question though. Is there a second date with Jesus? Or maybe I need to get in line 😅
I've lived here all my life and have not captured (or maybe even seen) so much of what you got here, and the cinematic treatment is outstanding, when in youtube I prefer shorter videos like this, but now I am left wanting more.
Same thing for me. I'm from Puebla and hated every visit to Mexico city. Too crowded for me, now I want to visit the place...at least the places you are showing. And just in case: in Mexico, we celebrate feb 14 as the day of "love and friendship". Its not just love!
@@y0nit0 Good morning, I hope you are well. Just wanted to jump on here and say that the centre of the city was crowded and busy. I think what helped me was having no clear schedule and giving myself time to explore. Not putting pressure on anything. And great to know that about Valentine's Day :)
Cinematically awesome video. I just hope you eventually explore outside of the usual tourism highways. I can't wait to see you experience the Monarch Butterflies Biosphere Reserve in Michoacan, or the Firefly Sanctuary in Tlaxcala.
Thank you. I totally agree. I really don't enjoy the tourist traps/highways. Someone told me about the Monarch Butterflies, unfortunately, an opportunity didn't come up, but that feels like the sort of thing it would be worth taking a trip to Mexico for alone. One day perhaps. Thanks for the comment, take care of yourself. x
@@matthewjohnmurphy The important detail about the Monarch Butterflies is the time of year you visit: they migrate from Canada (like snowbirds in the fall) and arrive in late winter. From what I understand, the best time to see them almost "blot the forests from the sun" is around February each year. It truly is an incredibly quiet/spectacular sight to see after horseback riding earlier in the day, and then hiking farther up to a higher altitude in the state of Michoacan (west of Mexico City.)
Head to the southernmost state of Chiapas. San Cristóbal de las Casas is an awesome pueblo mágico. Sumidero canyon, El Arcotete Park, El Chiflón falls, Lagos de Montebello, Tonina, Palenque.
Brilliant video Matt! Very captivating to watch. If it makes you feel any better, I too tried to visit the Frida Kahlo Museum but had to give up. The queues outside to get in were insane!
Haha oh boy, yeah I say no to queues generally. I think that’s why I try and avoid the tourist path. Being a creative person it felt like I had to visit her museum/home. I love her and how she has inspired so many, but I just follow my heart most of the time and on this occasion I’m glad I was diverted to the canals. 🙏🏻
As a truck driver I’m always traveling alone. I sometimes meet people here or there but I’m always forgetting that perhaps I should be feeling lonely. It’s just too enjoyable to not have to coordinate with others on what you’ll do for the day… I mean on days I don’t drive cuz I’m out of hours.
Hi Gabriel. Yes, I love the freedom of travelling alone and not having to coordinate :) And I agree about hiking and nature, I got to do a very small amount in Oaxaca which I am looking forward to talking about in pt. II. Look after yourself. Matt
@@matthewjohnmurphybtw Mexico has some of the sweetest people, in my experience. You just have to go to a place where there is a group of people which has some kind of similar interest as you but maybe it’s kind of intimidating for them to just go up to you and say hi. As a European your automatically seen as top level of society because the colonial mindset is still there. So some of the browner types will feel like they’re breaking social norms to just approach you all friendly even when they’re genuinely curious.
@@gabrielgarza8283I loved every interaction I had while I was away. And some of the hosts in places I stayed were just wonderful people. I think it helped that I was curious and asked them about themselves. I think perhaps that levelled the playing field a little when it comes to the colonial mindset you mentioned.
Mexico pyramids are far more interesting and more technologically” advanced than the ones in Egypt. Go to Chichen itzá you’ll be amazed. Mexico is a world on its own!😀
You should do Mexico City the right way: with a local who knows where to take you. If you are still around I can show you the Mexico City locals would take you to. Mexico City is a city of cities, you just showed one of the many sides. Polanco, Roma, Condesa, Cuauhtemoc, Santa Fe, San ‘Angel etc……. If you come back i’d be happy to show you around.
Best food in Mexico City? Certainly is not expensive, with exceptions, don’t go to fancy places like Pujol. Here a not exhaustive list: Café Tacuba (Tacuba 28), Pozoles de Moctezuma (Guerrero), Fonda Margarita (Del Valle), Los Tres Reyes (Mixcoac), Café Avellaneda (Coyoacán, only the supreme Mexican coffe,), El Vilsito (Narvarte, tacos al pastor), Tostadas Coyoacán (Coyoacán Market), Mercado de San Juan is not cheap but is a most, La Rifa (Juarez neighborhood best Mexican chocolate), Arca Tierra (have a Mexican breakfast at the shore of Xochimilco with only products from Chinampas)
just enjoy. keep on walking specially very early and late hours of the day. From oaxaca you may take rural tours into the mountains to experience the state's culture. Mazunte and Zipolite( nudist beach) are laid back beaches in the state of Oaxaca. Puerto Escondido is where you can learn how to surf. The city of Oaxaca has great food in the markets, and you can visit other pyramid sites. Then you may continue to the state of chiapas and visit San Cristobal de las Casas, Probably the most beautiful town in Mexico, but to avoid arguing... top 3 without a doubt. In Chiapas you will experience waterfalls as well as pyramids. You may go River Rafting and go to Lacandona Rain Forest and meet the Lacandones People and their culture.and gorgeous lagoons (Montebello) very close to Guatemala ( look into visiting it Tikal and Antigua would be my recomendations for Guatemala).
Sadly I have left. I had 3.5 weeks there. I could have filled a lifetime with things to do. I know I will be back. I missed an opportunity to visit the Monarch Butterflies and Puerto Esc, and those alone will be worth another trip 🙏🏻 Thank you for you comment, and time watching. I hope you enjoy the next ones.
Excellent video 👍😊❤ 😂 😂😂 @ Valentin day and date History of Mexico Mexico is God's heart and home Where adan and eve were born / created. Sinceramente Jesus Christ
Amazing footage, but once again, people still using a yellow filter to show Mexico, my country doesn't look like that :( It is a vibrant place, with colors and tones like few other countries in the world.
Hi Sylviia, hope you're good, thanks for the comment, I appreciate it. I didn't actually change the white balance of the footage, but I DID put a LUT (look up table) over the top which is made by Kodak. It's one I use on almost all my videos, and yes it is a little warmer. So not a conscious decision by me, but unfortunately does play into the stereotypes on this occasion.
Thank you. I agree. I did a longer piece at the start of the video that I removed about the things people said to me about Mexico before I arrived. I removed it as it could have been a video in itself, and I hoped the positive experience I had was enough to dispel some of the stigma.
Eyy dude we mexicana aré AMERICANS. Too case we all live un the dame continent called AMERICA the u.s.a is not AMERICA AND u.s people aré NOT THE ONLY AMERICANS

I missed an opportunity to visit the Monarch Butterflies and Puerto Esc, and those alone will be worth another trip 🙏🏻 Thank you for you comment, and time watching. I hope you enjoy the next ones.
Why everyone stays at that Virreyes Hotel? 🤔
Morning Ritchie, it's actually a Selina Hotel now. :) I chose it for its location and also being a solo traveller it felt right for me.
Nice cinematography. What camera did you shoot with?
Thank you. I took the Panasonic GH6, with 12-60 lens. When these videos are done I’m considering putting together another one about the kit I took.
Gracias ❤
Tbh, I’d rather have a romantic Valentine’s date with Jesús than with my ex 😂❤
Excellent video
👍😊❤
😂 😂😂 @ Valentin day and date
History of Mexico
Mexico is God's heart and home
Where adan and eve were born / created.
Sinceramente
Jesus Christ
Thank you 🙏🏻
Amazing footage, but once again, people still using a yellow filter to show Mexico, my country doesn't look like that :( It is a vibrant place, with colors and tones like few other countries in the world.
Hi Sylviia, hope you're good, thanks for the comment, I appreciate it. I didn't actually change the white balance of the footage, but I DID put a LUT (look up table) over the top which is made by Kodak. It's one I use on almost all my videos, and yes it is a little warmer. So not a conscious decision by me, but unfortunately does play into the stereotypes on this occasion.
nice footage, this kind of videos help to erase the image that hollywood portrayed about Mexico.
Thank you. I agree. I did a longer piece at the start of the video that I removed about the things people said to me about Mexico before I arrived. I removed it as it could have been a video in itself, and I hoped the positive experience I had was enough to dispel some of the stigma.
who me? Just hanging around 😅
😂 it’s funny where life can take us.
I'm Mexican & my ancestors are mistycal people.
I's not magic. Is ingeniering. We were ingeniers long before the industrial revolution
I believe that. Incredible structures.
Bien, pero también me gustaría ver un raw footage, sin charla.
Hola Lolon. Raw footage? ¿Qué te gustaría saber? 🙂
Seems to me you are reluctant about much of what Mexico has to offer! Then why bother? I'm a bit offended
Your ‘deep images’ contradicts your almost no interest in History. Great footage.
I appreciate this, as I hadn't looked at it this way. :)
I cant not listen😕
Bro makes a video about "Mexico City" but half the shots on the video are his face in a room LOL
The indigenous people actually are not Mexican, but Guatemalan they everywhere in Mexico, millions the Mexican indigenous disappear or k I l led

The ugly, obnoxious music ruined what otherwise would have been a great video.
