Very nice 12:25
Hola bonito día , saludos
Mexico es mi pais y se q tiene cosas buenas y malas pero tiene muchos lugares muy bonitos q visitar
The hard parts of the moves sound harsh but you all have great attitudes and handled it like an adventure.
We had been to Costa Rica twice and Belize once – third world countries with first world prices. We settled on Mexico. We love it but still looking for the city we want to live.
i love it what i Really love of American Culture is your way to say things right away you are very honest and thats very important God Bless you Guys and keep doing what you like
Sheri and I really enjoyed this one! See y’all in September!
Thankfully we have enough in our savings to retire and I will have a pension Otherwise that 5000$ a person will be way too high for most people 😞
We have been watching YouTube videos about Mexico for the last five years and I’ve never before posted a comment, but we both agree this is the best video we’ve watched n that entire time period. Congratulations on a truly excellent production!
I agree, Mexico feel like home to me and coming here in November felt like a homecoming for me. And I'm a white person, lol.
Thanks so much for this fun and informative chat! I have a question.. if any of you were single, and wanted to still make the move, would you do so alone??!! Thanks!! It seems it’s easier when you have a partner!
We're doing the nomadic lifestyle for a few years in our little RV…my adult son and I. I hear you with the whole big about the excitement of going to a new place tempered with wanting to stay somewhere and put down roots. BUT we realize it's such a blessing to be able to spend a few years checking out all these amazing places in Mexico first…
BTW, we are LOVING Patzcuaro as a summer home base! We can't drive any longer than about 5 hours a day in our 28' RV.
Wow! Great gathering! I have been following 2 Travelers and Gringo R us. Nice to see in same room
So glad my two favorite Youtube channels "The Two Travelers in Mexico" and "GringoRus" and guests are together and looks like you all have become friends!! That's terrific
Wow, you guys, what a fantastic video! It's great to hear the different reasons, ideas, etc from all of you. Marc, Paulette, you have to do this again! So much fun, and Marc's inserts are 😂
This was fun to do and fun to watch. What an undertaking getting this trimmed as much as you could! Well done! 🙂
Nice to hear all your different stories. Thank you 👍
Great vid! Truly enjoyed it. Dios los bendiga a todos.
Great Video with people we like. Nice to hear everybody's thoughts and ideas to move to Mexico.
👍🏻👍🏻👏👏
Beat interview ever
Not expats.
Immigrants
Fun. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for your talk about moving to Mexico… you are welcome. A piece of advice, it took one year to learn English when going for a Master and PHd at UF "Go Gators." I could take a little bit more for you to learn Spanish… but you know It will be worth it… because it changes your world… 🙂
Thank you guys for choosing my country to live, better yet Welcome to Mexico love the way you guys express about my culture and know deep inside that we are happy to see you and we welcome you to the real world paradise.
Expatriados? Tanto trabajo les cuesta reconocerse como inmigrantes?
This people with no culture
They just come to use the sistem
They only talk about how cheap
How Mexico is
They care about them selfs
My esposa and I have been in Mexico for over five years, and there has never been any regrets. It's a huge difference from living in the USA. The people are truly top-notch. We have no plans to ever move back.
If one tries to qualify for Temp or Permanent Residency now with the Peso being so strong, those living on social security may not qualify unless they have savings or marriage to a Mexican Citizen.
Waoo… vienvenidos a mexico…. y siempre todos Los que quieran venir a mexico siempre seran bien vienvenidos…saludos a todos ustedes desde Acapulco Guerrero…❤❤..
