We’re back in Puerto Escondido! But how much has changed?

- We’re BACK in our favorite beach town in Mexico, back on RUclips after a short break, and ready to take on 2024 with everything we’ve got!
We fell in love with Puerto Escondido quite early in the beginning of our travels, we first visited in March 2021 and made a few videos which quickly became really popular and it is now December 2023 and we are wondering how much has changed? That’s the question we’ll be answering in today’s video.
Depending on how long you’ve been following us you may or may not know that we purchased some property here in Puerto Escondido in 2021, but we’ve said very little about that. So for the first time ever, we’re going to be showing you our property.

Very, very cool because 1) we are currently staying at an RV park in Bahia de San Agustin about 2 hours south of ya'll and the weather is pretty hot but we are loving it. 2) We stayed a few months in Santa Maria del Tule and Oaxaca City and really liked it....we are considering making the state of Oaxaca our home base after we wrap up a few years of 100% RV travel. We've been to 13 or 14 Mexican states now...many of which we've had extended stays in.
So it's cool to hear that out of all the places you've been in Mexico you chose Puerto Escondido! I do worry though about what changes lie in store after the new autopista opens that cuts travel time to Oaxaca City drastically...
Please share your plans with the land you guys have in puerto!!!
Jenny, dejalo hablar 😂 I love seeing you guys are back. Hope you guys had a great holiday. Can't wait to see what y'all build out there. If the hostile happens I will definitely love to stay there. Cuidense.
I promise it’s on my list of New Year’s resolutions for 2024 😅😅🤐
@@EatBailaTravel lol...love watching y'all videos!!!
Yesss lmaooo😂😂😂😂 let him talk 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I deserve every comment on this lol 😆
I disagree. Keep the same, don’t change it.
So lovely to see your faces pop up on my RUclips timeline. It sounds like you bought property at the perfect time!! I know many people see new development and think automatically it’s Americans changing things, but for those of us that travel domestically - Mexico is a large country and there are definitely people there that work hard and want fancy places to stay and dine themselves! I live on the border and certainly there are Americans that travel down to Baja for the wineries and resorts, but in reality it’s still majority Mexicans from the area or from the big cities in the country. I don’t think that PE’s airport has many if any international flights. I’m sure you’ll be a great voice once you’re locals. Also, don’t hesitate to post shorter videos of things to do in CDMX! It might not be travel to you, but Mexico City’s a hot travel destinations and would love to see your faves that you’ve discovered while there!
Hola amigo! Likewise, it's great to see a comment from you :) I'm so glad you mentioned that about Mexicans also being a significant part of change and development. They really are! PE's airport is gradually adding more and more flights. I believe they now have a direct flight coming in from Canada (or will soon if not already).
CDMX "travel" videos to come for sure! Saludos!
Definitivamente tiene algo mágico que me traje de ese lugar. Qué lindo video amigos.
✨🤞🏽✨ que siga la magia y más momentos compartidos como los de Puerto 🙌🏽
It was great seeing you in the video!
OMG HOW ARE YOU? 🥹 I haven't seen your videos in so long! welcome back!
Hi! We are good! But all over the place. Glad to see name again. I hope all is well with you. Saludos
Happy New Year and welcome back. I am glad you took a break and I hope life in Mexico City is not all bad 😊. It was great to see Karen and Dave too. I haven’t been in Puerto Escondido for 20 years, but it is a special place. Great video.
Hi Chris! Happy New Year 🤗🌟 maybe your first time back can be at our place someday 😁
It’s so great to start off the year your videos, I wish you the best and a very happy, prosperous new year! Looking forward to your content coming up. Congrats on your purchase, it has great potential for renting too.
Thanks so much! Happy New Year, Damaris 🤗✨
OMG! My husband and I were just talking about you guys this morning. I open YT and here you are! May your days to come are bless ❤
😯 the universe works in mysterious ways! Lol thanks so much Happy New Year best wishes to you and your family 🤗✨🫶🏻
😃 yayyy , so glad to see. You guys are back! Happy new year by the way🎉! I am glad you posted an update on puerto escondido. I am sooo happy for you guys, to be able to build your new home/ hostel. Maybe a video on local real estate, lots for sale. 😊
Happy New Year! ✨🤗 thanks so much we’re super excited too! That’s a good idea for a video 💡for next time we’re in PE
Outstanding you two!! Were inspired 🎉 congratulations!
Aww thank you! Happy new year
And y’all are back! ❤
Hey Hannah! 🤗 Happy New Year! Wishing you all the best in 2024 🌟
We are working our way over that way after Veracruz and Mexico city ❤😂
Another amazing video guys.
Cheers from 2 Canadians 🇨🇦 living in Mexico.🇲🇽✌️
When are you coming to CDMX? We’d love to meet.
I love those beautiful trees on your property
We do too! We may have to uproot it and replant it elsewhere when we start building but the hope is to keep it
So great for you guys! I remember going with friends to see their future home plot and now they've lived there for nearly 22 years. Enjoy the process!
Wow that’s really cool! We’re nervous but excited! 😁
Glad you guys are back. Great content. As always i enjoyed watching.
Muchas gracias, Anna! It means a lot to read your kind comment. I hope you have a great week
Thank you for sharing your property with us🔥It’s beautiful! So glad you have an eye on sustaianability. Cant to see what happens next🥳🥳🥳
Thank you so much! 😁
Happy New years 🎉😊
Happy new year!
Good to see you back in Southern Mexico! You two were part of our inspiration to travel here. We're now in La Crucecita enjoying an extended stay. We're not good dancers like the two of you, but we found dancing on the beach this Thursday and are looking forward to it. 😊
Aww glad to have inspired and it makes us happy you made the move! saludos!
Felicidades on your property, so so awesome!!
muchas gracias! We're so excited for what it will become 🤗
It's great to see you back in PE, I know you love it there. It sounds like CDMX kind of makes you sick, big city life, get a tent and camp on your lot in PE for some down time. Get some dancing in, too, I remember you taught a class there for a while. Yes, please, whatever you do to the property, I would love to see video progress and watch whatever it is grow. Great to see Karen and Dave!
Yes it was short lived but it was exactly what we needed to get our heads back on track. CDMX is awesome but puerto Escondido is where we belong. Saludos
You guys are so inspiring! I would love to know the process and any tips for buying property in Mexico as a dual citizen.
Also would love to see you guys do a mini series on the building process when that time comes.
Hola 👋🏼 thanks so much for your comment 😊 we took such a non traditional route to buying this property but I could think of some tips for buying. We haven’t decided if it’s worth a while video or simply a post in writing for our Patreon members. I will start working on this soon and will post and update to the RUclips community when we figure out how to share it thanks for the reminder 🤗
But the mini series on the building process we could definitely do! 😊
Very interested in this process as well!
Happy you guys are back.
Hello! 👋🏼😁 thanks!
Would love to have a video on the buying process
Congratulations you guys that’s wonderful for you. I’m coming down to Puerto for my first visit in a couple of weeks. Good luck and keep doing what you’re doing.
Nice! Will it be your first time? Which neighborhood will you be staying in?
Let’s do it Cicero! Glad you’re back with new dance skillz!
Cicero! ❤️ we were just there too hoping there was some snow but we missed it
It snowed a little today-a pretty dusting
@@EatBailaTravel
great info, gracias!
Thank you. Saludos!
Great video 👍 good to see you guys & Karen too ❤
We love spending time with Karen and Dave 🥰 thanks for your comment 🤗
Another great video, Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Yay.. more Puerto content!
🏝️ 🌊 🏄♂️
just found your channel and i'm loving the vibes
Hi Guys congrats on your land purchase, I really enjoy your videos, I love Me'xico ❤ loved your colombian content when you both visited our country, greetings from USA 🇺🇸 🙏♥️✌️
Saludos! Thank you we will back in Colombia soon for more content 😉
I’ll never forget when Kevin was so excited to pick Puerto as your full time home. While that didn’t happen, you guys still created a home there by buying the property. I can’t wait to see the future progress of your build and I really hope you guys choose a home to build that maybe eventually you’ll both live full time. Wish a Happy New Years to you both, you both are just the greatest couple 💕
Lol. Well, in all fairness, we both know (and knew) that we will end up living in Puerto full-time someday. In the meantime, we want to continue creating content for this channel that we love and of course, generate income (read: take that job in CDMX that ends up not working out and now have to figure out the next step.. if you haven't seen our latest video, sorry for the spoiler lol).. but yes, point is, eventually we will make this dream in Puerto happen
thanks so much for your comment and kind words!
in your pinned comment, the first line of your comment is all that shows, "don't forget to..." (people have to click "read more" for it to open up the rest of your pinned comment)... maybe if you started the first line with "like, comment, share and subscribe," it might help your channel a little more ❤ or maybe you can start the comment with one of your links ❤
Great point! Thank you so much we will change it
Puerto is the best city in Oaxaca in my opinion next to of course Oaxaca city and H-co :) been coming to my home away from Home for years now love you Puerto forever ♾️ :) my heart ❤️ is Mexico 🇲🇽 But my love of loves is Puerto so happy to see so many people enjoy it but hope it doesnt get to crazy crowded seeing now tons of people from the states and EU and other countries come there etc :) thanks for sharing havent been back there since before covid :) looks amazing as always above all miss the beaches:)
I can’t wait to visit Puerto Escondido 🥳🥳
I hope you get to make it happen soon! 😊
Haven’t been to either yet, but a Oaxaca local told me not to bother going to Puerto Escondido and to instead go to Mazunte.
Mazunte is great for more laid back vibes. PE gets so many visitors it’s pretty busy
Wow !! Puerto is Incomparable
Thank you for this !! I’ll be traveling in February (:
Cool, is it going to be your first time in Puerto Escondido?
Happy New Year🎉 whatever you decide to do with your property, remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day! Here’s to a fabulous 2024! Nice to see Karen and Dave too.
Happy new year, dear, Katherine!! 🤗🎉
Yall should definitely make that property into a hostel! It’ll practically pay for itself. Could yall also make a video on how you guys went about purchasing that property? Like was it cash or through bank? We’d really appreciate it! Saludos!
Love the idea! We will definitely put it on the construction video.
I followed your street food video as an itinerary to support local restaurants when I went to puerto escondido. Comedor teres was my go to daily. I also stayed at casa kei, close too your new spot! Super chill area. Support from ny!
Nice!! I'm so glad you went to Comedor Tere. We love that little spot. Saludos!
Glad you enjoyed la morena! It has a great vibe and its a scene
One of our favorite restaurants for sure!
So enjoyed this vid...Got up knowing I need to make a decision about my visit to Puerto Escondido in two weeks.. .Maybe I could pitch a tent on your property🤔. 😅 Happy New Year!
For sure we can work something out!
@@EatBailaTravel Muchas gracias....I'll be in touch.😉
great video!!
Thank you!! 🙏🏽 appreciate your comment. Have a great week ☺️
Glad you’re back. Been a while. Saludos desde Detroit.
Thank you we took a little break but plan to go be a little more consistent
It’s nice that you all were able to get together on a video!
and unexpectedly so! We decided to go to PE super last minute and Karena and Dave were already planning to be there so it worked out nicely 😁
@@EatBailaTravel Awesome and congrats on your property! 🥳
Great to see you back on youtube. You lot is pretty decent sized. -Marc
Hey Marc! Thanks. With over 500m2 there's room for lots of possibilities. Saludos to you and Paulette !
Congrats on the land, wish you the best in 2024.
Thank you so much! Saludos
Wish you the best in 2024 as well.
Ha, good to see your back After spending a week in Tijuana I arrived in Veracruz Dec 12th spent Xmas and New year here and headed to Papantla El Tajin and now I in Averado for the night then back to my B&B in Veracruz heading to Xalapa on the 15th Thank you you got me off the couch and travel Mexico
Awesome happy to hear, how are you liking Veracruz this far?
Veracruz is a very interesting places as you know I do enjoy my time in Veracruz walking around the city for over two weeks I learned A lot about the city it’s good to see effort is being put in to restore the parts of the city that’s been in disrepair it would be nice to see the city put a little money towards trash bins in all of the Centro of Mexico city‘s have visited they do a lot better job of trash collecting it’s hard to see garbage piled up on a street corner waiting for pick up then when it is picked up there’s still a lot left behind being a musician I found a couple great places to hear Latin music one of them being Cantaneta Lara and yes there is great places for coffee but I was very shocked to see a lot of the locals drinking instant coffee I do find it more expensive than most all Central Mexican cities all that being said I really have enjoyed my time in Veracruz city and traveling to Papantla was a real Joy that is a really great little city and El Tajin has a strong ancient energy I’m in Alvarado now and this also is a very interesting coastal town the Sokolow is incredibly beautiful and I don’t think I’ve seen more scooters in any one place in my whole life I will be heading to Xalapa on the 15th. Cheers, Allen
Missed y’all fr 😭 I was definitely scared you guys stopped making videos
It’s been a struggle but we’re gonna try to keep it up! 🫶🏻
Feliz Año 🎉
Hola hola feliz año 🥳🫶🏻✨ te deseamos mucha salud, felicidad y éxito en el 2024 ✨
Igualmente ❤
Bienviendos! A lot has changed in Puerto in the last few years, especially in La Punta, which is a supposed to be a "zona ecologico". Almost every lot is being cleared and built on now. More and more units, housing, are coming on line but the demand has remained the same at best. You could see it this holiday season. There were a lot of people in town but most places were not at full occupancy.
The infrastructure here was never intended to support all this growth. The water & agua negra problems have only gotten worse. As well as the amount of garbage and plastic waste you see strewn all over the town.
Where this is all going and how this will all end? idk The next 2-3 years will be telling for the community.
All that being said. Puerto is still an amazing place...for now!
Yes! Spot on!
interesting VLOG!!
Thank you!!
You could build 2-4 apartments of different sizes, live in one and rent the others long-term or short-term.
Great idea!
Hola, Congratulations on acquiring a property !! I was in the Rinconada area , Carri Surf Studios, and it was really good to be there I did rent a scooter but didn't stretch out / explore as much as wanted to ( next time ) I am already to get back ! However also thinking about checking out San Pancho next time ( soon ) Perhaps in mid to late April ! ??
Glad to hear you loved PE and want to go back! Experiment with staying in different neighborhoods is a great way to get the most out of PE 🫶🏻 we’ve been to San Pancho (briefly) and loved it. Reminded us of a quieter PE
New video please!!! Maybe of how much the strip from the beginning of zicatela- la ponta. To see how much it really is growing
Hi! That could certainly be a whole video on its own for next time we visit 🙂👍🏽 thanks for the suggestion!
Congrats on the land
Thank you!
Love love love you guys. Guessing there might also be sewage issues going on there. Watch out in the ocean. I know many people that have gotten sick in Sayulita due to fast growth.
Hey hey thanks so much for the love! 🫶🏽❤️ yea the sewage then gets into the ocean and can make swimmers sick. Kevin got really sick in Sayulita like that when we went :(
A friend of mine bought some land near Puerto Escondido and she is in the process of building what she hopes will be a sustainable cooperative-living community, which I think is exciting. It will be fun to see what you two decide to do with your parcel. Was it complicated to go through the purchase process?
That’s super cool! Do you know which part of PE she’s in? The purchase process was but complicated because it was so new for us. I need to sit down and write it out and maybe share some tips
Saludos! Qué bueno están en Puerto!
Saludos! Solo una semanita pero pronto regresaremos
Que bueno! Tal vez nos vemos en La Punta aquí vivo con mi esposa.
Yes, Eat Baila Hostel!
solo si nos prometes ayudar a estrenarlo cuando ya este listo! ❣
I just saw our colombian flag 🇨🇴 on one of the buildings on your walking tour 😂❤✌️
Yea a couple more Colombians in Puerto. I got a fade by one of them lol
Welcome back! Glad to see you guys had time to relax and enjoy the holidays. Quick question what factors were you guys looking when choosing that location of land? I’m trying to decide where to build in PXM. Would love to see the process of building in PXM! Saludos desde MKE Jesus C.
We weren't too picky on the location to be honest but being so close to the beach and close to an area that is growing made us feel confident that we were making a smart purchase. We'd also been looking the in the Bacocho and Rinconada area which we like better for a residence, but for a potential business, something near La Punta would be better.
@@EatBailaTravel La Puta has changed a lot since I lived there in 04’ back in the day that was “The Rave” Party side till 6am. Ideally Rinconada y Bacocho is where we would like to live but the land is really high. If we decide in that area we would have to consider to purchase a house and not build. I’m glad you guys love PXM, it’s been my second home besides Milwaukee/ DF / La Chona. Maybe one day we will rum into you guys, since we go there once a year to PXM & DF, I still have familia in both places. Keep up the great videos and be safe! Saludos
$60 pesos for a quesadilla 😮 that’s crazy!!! I just got back from spending 8 days in Mexico City on vacation. 2nd time and loved it even more. Looking to take my 5 kids to Mexico for a summer vacation and are trying to decide between Oaxaca and Merida. We’ve already done a Chiapas trip with them, Mexico City trip, Morelia, Durango, and Cancun down to Bacalar trip. Between Oaxaca/puerto or Merida what one do you think would be more affordable.
To be fair, it was a quite large quesadilla lol. In our experience, Oaxaca would be more affordable than Merida. Prices are more inflated in Merida because of its proximity to Cancun whereas Oaxaca is still comparatively more affordable. Both are beautiful places and I’m sure you’ll love them both.
Hi neighbour! I should have bought 2 lots also, but just the one. Good mention of prices and the environment. Gas was $2.00 per litre when I was there in Dec, and 12 moths prior it was $1.35. It's becoming shockingly expensive in my perspective. Developers are drooling at the prosect of building resorts, which would take away the character of the town. My property is 200M. There should be limits to size and height in place. Thanks for your work and we'll see you sometime.
Oh hey neighbor!! Are you located in the Punta - Zicatela area, too?
Closest to the cinema. @@EatBailaTravel
Super close to us then! 😁 and I agree, I hope there are limits. Hope to meet you someday soon!
Chillin like a villain at 4:20! Planning to build with rammed earth walls at all?
😎 haha. Actually we just discussed that with our architects, it's definitely a possibility
That woman at 04:00-4:15 looks so paranoid of your camera LOL. Love the uploads! Cheers from QRO. My fiance and I moved down here right as you were heading out to CDMX... So close LOL!
🫢 I hadn’t noticed until you mentioned it lol oops. Nice! How are you liking living in QRO?
@@EatBailaTravel We love it, my fiance's dad's side live here so we've felt right at home. We are hoping to find the perfect birria around here though.. it's always res never chivo though!
Hey Fam, I here in Cali fruit market. I went see Basilia the food was great. Thanks for tip see you soon . AA CCC
Yum! Glad you enjoyed it! 😋saludos
Are hostel safe? I want to try them but I get apprehensive at the last minute. I feel that when I get back to my room my stuff will have dissappeared.
There all kinds of hostels. Party hostels, chill hostels, smelly hostels and shady ones too. Just check the ratings on hosterlworld.com and give it shot. Just take a combination lock and you should be good.
Good to see you're back in Puerto. Give us a shout if you want to take a trip a little east to Santa Elena el Tule and Ocean Oasis Hotel. We'd love to show you around this area, and you can be our guests for the day/night. Are you familiar with Agua Blanca? It's the best seafood in Mexico and a short beach walk from us. We've enjoyed your videos and would love to share some conversation.
Hola! Yes, we've been to Agua Blanca but only drove through it with someone who was showing us around. We need to revisit and try the seafood! We'd love take you up on that offer next time we're in PE! ☺ It would be lovely to meet you. Are you on Instagram? Please send us a message if so. If not, an email to eatbailatravel@gmail.com so we can stay connected 🤗
I want to move to Mexico in about 9 years but I'm thinking of working from home but just don't know how to go about doing that. any ideas? Nice seeing you guys on here again! You're definitely lucky to be missing this Chicago weather.
There's a ton of info online just start clicking!
Mexico Relocation Guide on YT and Living Overseas TV on YT have lots of info on the topic.
Are you of Mexican heritage? If so, first step is get your mexican citizenship and be a dual citizen 🇺🇸🇲🇽😎 the other thing is to look for jobs with American companies operating in Mexico (though they'll likely pay in pesos) or look for US remote jobs in call centers, customer service, IT which tend to be remote
Awesome video ! I’m looking to buy some land in the area. How much was your property? And can you recommend someone who’s selling land around that area ? Thanks in advance
Hi there, thanks! We paid $3,500 pesos per square meter at a time when the exchange rate was around 19 pesos to the dollar. We've heard that lots near us are now going for $7,500-$8,000 pesos per square meter. We purchased directly from the seller, so unfortunately we don't have a specific recommendation.
How much was the lots , or lot , fixing to make my move .. ty
Hi you all! Hey I'm native from Puerto Escondido located In the USA now, I also have a property in Puerto trying to sell it if there is someone interested its located 5 minutes north the airport. Thanks you for sharing your experience. Espero conocerlos algún dia.
Cool thanks for sharing! There have been a few people in this comments section who’ve mentioned interest in buying. How can they get in touch with you?
if you don't mind me asking, how much was the spot?
the land we bought? We paid $3,500 mxn pesos per square meter at a time when the peso was around $19mxn to $1 usd. We paid close to $90,000 USD for the two lots. The biggest investment of our lives. We've been told that our lots our worth double now, which is crazy because at the time we felt we were already paying too much.
Ahh, how bout a video on how the finance for a property works there?
That would be hard to do. We paid in cash so we don't have experience with financing a property. We wouldn't qualify anyway because we have no credit history in Mexico and they don't accept foreign credit scores or anything like that.
Definitely a home with rentals or Airbnb’s ( more work though) live there for free . Expats are always looking for rentals
That’s definitely an idea we have in mind! Thanks! 😊
Is that funky, huge, half built cement church still there? And tye smoked marlin taco shack?
hahahaha aw man we totally meant to comment on the fact that the unfinished church is exactly the same LOL. And Tacos El Viejo is still there but unfortunately el viejo himself passed away.
It be nice to make videos on the construction process. I also have a lot similar to yours in Jalisco and would eventually like to start building in the near future. Congrats y'all!
Yes! We think it would be beautiful to document the process
PS, I am a general contractor here in Northern California if I can be of any assistance 🤙🏻😎
oohh thank you!!
Did you use your Volaris pass on this trip?
We did. We are learning how to use more and more it’s all about checking trends. We had to leave PE on the 31st otherwise we would have had to stay til the 6th which wasn’t bad but we had to get back to CDMX
Thanks for the feedback. Appreciated your other Pass video and any info you share on using it. Not many good videos on RUclips about it a d how it does or doesn't practically work. Do you just usea backpack only? And do gate agents seem to check them for Pass tixs?
What’s the sidewalk situation? Do worry with all the construction that they’re some ankle breaking dips and holes to consider especially when having a camera talking. Have a dentist friend who does charity trips down there.
There are some concrete sidewalks but a lot of PE is gravel streets and sand. I'm pretty accident-prone so I do have to watch my step often. I don't mind it. It forces me to practice more mindfulness. I've rolled my ankle of concrete sidewalk more than gravel or any other kind of uneven surface.
Is the road to Oaxaca city done yet, gracias??!!
Great question, we believe it’s half way done but according to the locals if the current government doesn’t finish it by August they might not be able to finish.🤷🏾♂️
Good point! btw love your spanish accents!
Thanks! 😁 and just curious, are you referring to our Latino accent when we speak in English? Or our accent when we speak Spanish?
We get a kick out of hearing peoples’s thoughts on our accents because we have such hybrid-almost-Frankenstein-ish accents in both English and Spanish at this point I think haha.😆
Oh i think you speak both languages perfectly, but i've been living and traveling in mexico for about 2.5 yrs now and people speak differently imo, i especially like jenny's accent when she says spanish words. of course spanish can be such a pretty language, you guys know the old saying:
"speak german to your dog, english to your servant, french to your lover, and spanish to god" 😊
How did you buy your property in Puerto Escondido? Any advice would be appreciated.
Hi! We cashed out our retirement funds (401k) and paid for the property in cash. Not sure I would advise anyone to do that but we took the risk. We don’t qualify for any financing options in Mexico because we don’t have any financial work history here
@EatBailaTravel how did you find the property? Just curious how I can start my search. Thanks in advance.
For sure. We came to it via word-of-mouth from a family friend local to PE. The seller was married to someone in their family and they introduced us. Before we met them though we’d been walking around town taking down phone numbers from posters and real estate businesses.
Thank you! @@EatBailaTravel
anyone else noticed the crazy girl flipping off the camera at 15:32 hahaha
OH snap we didn't notice till now lmao
Se ven mas GUAPOS 👩🏽👨🏽🔥😍😘❗️
wow really?? nos sentimos más cachetonsitos pero contentitos ☺☺🤗❣
Should have been here 30 years ago, even 10…. Tourist always get overcharged….even more so from Dec-April, example we rent a nice furnished 2 bedroom house in bococho, with cable, wifi, washing machine 2 blocks to the beach …yearly lease …7500 pesos a month ..I just ate a huge dinner up in town yesterday with drink, 85 pesos. Only in tourist places and tourist time you pay tourist prices..
Prices now are dropping as the rest of the world opened up, Puerto had a weird overinflated prices during Covid, now that many countries are having economic problems and the peso is higher watch for dropping prices and as a result of lots of newer rentals. Lots of for rent signs still up in our neighbourhood..even after the busiest 2:weeks.
Jenny couldn’t have been there 30 years ago she’s only 29 😂 but we agree that’s the case for so many places not just puerto. My family used to go before most of these places even existed. Glad you got to enjoy those days too
@@EatBailaTravel first time here a stopover sailing from Vancouver to Panama..
🫶🏽
Thanks for the love! 🫶🏻 have a great Sunday 😊
SOS PUERTO!!
Yes!
Definitivamente la muchacha habla mucho!!
De acuerdo 🫢
What is the boy doing for a living? just curious ... hopefully not shining shoes anymore!
haha, he's never shined shoes but there's nothing wrong with that. He works remotely for a US-based construction company.
She needs to let my boy speak or finish his sentences haha..
It's all good lol
Oh. no. The taxi mafia are coming to Puerto now? Bummer. It’s something i hate about playa. Not even locals can get a fair taxi price there anymore, just too many tourists
But we can accept that one fault + focus on the amazing things about Mexico 👌
yea that's a tough one because on the one hand I understand how the tourism increases cost of living for locals but it also feels like taxis take advantage.. :(
Quit telling everyone about it. Adding to the problem. Prices doubled at least.
We don’t gatekeep here.
@EatBailaTravel I should have put lol. I love your vids. No stopping it. I joined sos. Hope they can make a difference. Can't believe the change since covid. Hurts my heart a litt, e but I guess I'm a part of the problem too.
Wow, she has a problem with butting in when he tries to speak.
it's true, I do. New Years resolution for 2024 lol
Hidden port no more 😢
Nope
Puerto sucks since the new highway opened. It's super dangerous!!
Really 😧 dangerous how?
@EatBailaTravel way more cartel, saw a guy get accosted at a bar by them for having weed he didn't buy there. Thought he was going to get shot in the head. On the beaches after dark the corrupt municipal police are conducting random searches and stealing money from tourists, happened to 3 different friends in the span of a week. Then the green taxi drivers are taking people hostage and putting then in prison for not paying ridiculous fares and charging them huge amounts of money to get out. The day the highway opened puerto died.
@@EatBailaTravel did you delete my reply??
No 🤔 RUclips sometimes automatically hides comments it thinks could be offensive but I should be able to override. I’ll check.
I think you guys owe it to the locals to make a video from their point of view. I get the feeling that you guys don't want to rock the boat too much and offend the european immigrants aka the "ex-pats" but it needs to be done. The crazy thing is living in the US these same immigrants would be the ones that would pay not to live in our neighborhoods in chicago because they view you as criminals but have no problem going to exploit the low prices in Mexico as long as they don't have to interact with the locals past buying their services.
We like this idea. We don’t mind rocking the boat if it’s the truthful and respectful.
@@EatBailaTravel I look forward to it and hope that you guys will consider asking them about how much they interact with the locals. I have stopped watching certain channels because I've noticed a trend. Also good to see you guys back.
Every time he tries to talk, she interrupts him and talks over him. Pull the chute while you can
Haha that’s totally fair. It’s on my New Year’s resolutions list for 2024 to fix that! 🫡
But for context, we were super short on time and we kept having to re-shoot the same clips when one of us gets lost in our train of thought or starts rambling. There’s a subtle balance to chiming in at the right moment to avoid awkward pauses or to pivot to a point, and that balance can be tricky to find for both of us 🙃 but to the viewer, it totally just looks rude and I agree.
Wow bro, was it cool holding her drink while she blabbed in the camera the whole time? Seriously dude, step your shit up.
Send us money for couples therapy 😂
That area is becoming American gentrified, forcing local residents to move. And changing the character and vibe of the community. Jenny has a bad habit of speaking out of turn, interrupting the spouse.
There is a solid group of locals fighting for PE’s sustainable growth and once we’re living there we plan to be active members to help preserve its character as much as possible. But PE is a relatively young town/city, having started out as a fishing village 100 or so years ago with people from other areas relocating to this part of the Oaxaca coast. It’s metropolitan growth (at a small scale) is a result of continued settlement of outsiders, but now, people from much further away as opposed to nearby regions.
And yes, you’re right. I totally do. I was getting anxious about running out of time and we kept having to re-shoot the same clips when one of us got stuck while speaking. Still, it’s on my 2024 resolutions to work on that! 🫢😅
Saludos! 👋🏼
