I never hear about women over 60 living independently. I am one of those women I would like to find others.

Thank you for this opportunity @Brighton- and thank you all for joining us! This was fun ❤

Choosing where to live in Mexico can be an exciting yet challenging decision. Mexico offers a diverse range of options, from bustling cities like Mexico City and beachfront towns in the Yucatán to picturesque colonial gems such as San Miguel de Allende and Oaxaca. When making this choice, consider factors like climate, cost of living, safety, healthcare, and your lifestyle preferences. Each region has its own unique charm and cultural offerings, so it's essential to visit potential destinations, research thoroughly, and perhaps spend some time in your desired location to ensure it aligns with your needs and desires for a fulfilling life in Mexico. Thanks, Casi Jubilado en Mexico!

The infrastructure is limited in some locations. I remember in Puerto Vallarta I love having real American breakfasts available. In Guanajuato, I enjoyed having lunch at an Applebee's, but the pricing was high and some more wealthy Mexicans from Mexico City were dining there - I actually prefer Mexican Food, BUT the girls working there made the experience truly exceptional. In Zihuantanejo I bought coffee that was truly amazing. In Huatulco, the road system in the resort area was very modern and safe leading to beaches that are truly exceptional. Still, many large towns can be very primitive in services, but all places have outstanding and gracious people - my preferences would be resort areas due to the services available there - I like the mixed communities having a cultural mix. There's so many resources there to benefit you.

I’ve lived in San Miguel de Allende for 6 months 5 years ago, visited Oaxaca City for 5 days. Was in Cuernavaca for 2 weeks and first came to Ajijic/ Lakeside 4 years. And have been to a few other places you mentioned and other places too. Thanks for video. I also view a few KZfaq channels from Merida for 5 years. Nice place too

Los tres amigos se reúnen! Que bárbaro. You all make a great team, thank you. ❤

I enjoy each of your channels separately and like the comparisons you bring together in discussing the various topics.

Mariana's story is very similar to my story, born in the US, and spent time in Mexico when I was young and my mom prohibited us from speaking English at home. I love Mexico and I plan to move back to Mexico.

I don't know how this channel ended up as a suggestion, but I'm glad it did. Seems meant to be. I'm now considering and researching retirement in Mexico!!

This will be great, I just started and I cannot wait.😊

Thank you for saying this about the language barrier! I was trying so hard and even the simplest sentences I said, though technically correct, were met with blank stares. I was so confused haha

After 22 years of living in BC Turdeau-Landia, we made the move to Merida. Been here for almost 3 years. My only regret? I should've come over 10 years ago

Another good one. Bummer that you don't want us moving in your casita though. Just in case you thought I was serious rest assured I'm not. But if we can't find the design we want we'll build it. Pam has always wanted a U shaped house, bedrooms at the ends kitchen etc.in the middle plus an outdoor kitchen and pool. Garage etc. off to 1 side. Hopefully the house will be located in sight of the water. The pool boy (Dave) will keep Pam hydrated in the pool (easy chair floater) and all will be good if we can be assured of adequate water.

Really great video, altitude, cobblestone streets, etc, lots to think about before selecting a location and water is very important to me.

When choosing a “permanent”place to retire for good, considering your budget amongst other things, like climate etc, there is no best, country, city or region! As a retired Mexican national Airline Pilot, arrived in ‘88 in La Paz, in BAJA California Sur, still here, living in a nice neighbourhood! Originally from northern state is Sonora in Obregón, in the heart of the fertile agricultural Valle del Yaqui! Have you been to colonial Alamos, Sonora of rich history and few people ?…. Less than 20,000, no Home Depot, Walmart, no Costco, no Sam’s Club, only local markets! Great late 18 century Arched portal homes! Want the ocean, for that San Carlos!

Love this podcast, enjoyed it. i live in Mexico, in tijuana one of the most dangerous cities in the world and I am moving to Tulum. like you may spend 1000 USD you can easily spend 10k a month, it is about quality but is Mexico beautiful, YES!!!!! would not want to leave ever, however I do make 10k USD a month and spend very well and love the options, from little shops where you will have a home style food to having the option to go to a internationally recognized cuisine, it is amazing!!!!

thank you for hosting these informative chats

You should try Tampico, beautiful beach zone with amazing places to stay

That’s so cool that you collaborate with my other favorite channels!

Tlaquepaque, Jalisco is beautiful, very near from Guadalajara

A terrific video..... you guys are great!

I love the creativity in Mexico in general! I wish the words matched the mouth. I always really like your videos! I was in Baja along time ago..

Wow, what an adventure!

Excellent show, thanks for all the info

I drove north to south west to east the country of Mexico and had the time of my life I personally enjoyed the little villages towns the most and I enjoyed learning about and being part of the Culture yes Im also aware of my surroundings. I choose to live and love and spread kindness and take it all in so for me this was wonderful. I'm looking forward to retirement in Mexico 🇲🇽 and more of Central America and South America.

I lived in Austin Texas and the summer time in Austin including humidity is hotter than where I now live full time in Bucerias in the Riviera Nayarit just north of Puerto Vallarta. So I really didn't have to really do any adjustment as per summer heat.

Love seeing all 3 of you doing a collaboration!

I lived 3 years in Mx and have been in different parts of the country. I am French Canadian, originally from Montreal, Quebec, but have been living in the west (Alberta & BC) for 30 years. I am looking for a colonial cultural & historical town like Guanajuato or Zacatecas safe enough nowadays. I love desertic dry climates and cacti. I went through Monterey in the '80s, and did not like it, very industrial, and there were narco murders there a few years ago, I don't know if this is still going on now. I don't like places where there are too many tourists, the Hard Rock cafe, discos and many gringos bar hang out places, etc. like in Vallarta & Cancun. I want to be with local people, dance cumbia & salsa, go to street markets. I love cycling, walking, hiking and live very simply. I would like to eventually live off the grid with a tiny house, an acre, with chickens & hens, gardening. I love red wine with my food, amber rum at night... I would love to get involved in helping the community and exchange services: I can teach English, Spanish or French and need a handy man who could build a log cabin or tiny house & I could pay him. I would like to have solar panels and access to a river or a well.

That was great! ¡Gracias a todos!

For downtown Guanajuato, you cannot go there and return without going through the tunnels. Underground, you will not believe, there's actually intersections with a sign "uno y uno" or one by one, so wait until a car goes by and pull in behind it!!!! That might contribute to security in the city center. There's Universities there and decent services, but best to walk around downtown given there's not much parking and what little there is can be expensive. My hotel handled parking of the SUV I was driving and I was grateful.

Super helpful information! You are AMAZING!!

I like your guest and his opinion about safety.

Just discovered this. I got my permanent green card in 2020 but still live in the US. I’ve explored Lake Chapala, PV, Matzalan, SMA, and Cancun. I can’t tolerate elevation over 5000 feet or heat and humidity. Lake Chapala is the best fit but has become very expensive and crowded. I also sprained my ankle on the cobblestones. The bumpy roads are hard on my back. This past year I had 15 surgeries. So thankful Medicare paid every penny. I think Chapala in the summer during the green season is the best fit for me when it’s less crowded. Mexico is not friendly walking environment for the most part.

Modern Elders Academy sounds lovely.

Great video!

Life can be over in an instant. Let go and let God. Do not worry, and do not eliminate people. Karma never loses an address. I love Queretaro

What are the best places to live in mexico for fresh and saltwater fishing.

Great information! I am a new subscriber and look forward to following the channel. Cool hat, where did you get it?

I’m having white wine, but that Smirnoff cocktail sounds good!

Vowels in Spanish: ah-ay-ee-oh-oo And unlike English, those sounds never change. May-ree-dah

Steve from Houston thinking of retiring to Mexico

I'm not crazy about San Miguel; however, I loved Guanajuato which is near to San Miguel - it's my preferred location in that State!!!!

Based on my personal experience Mexico is great to visit and also for long stays is ok, but long term living I don’t recommend it. Most foreigners think that Mexico is all a beach front and it is not. Enjoy your visit.

Tangerine travels has made videos on most of the locations mentioned

What about Cabo sanLucas, heard it was very expensive now, I know Tijuana is not to popular, but not for the infamous world renowned Dental clinics and the very suppressed Cancer Curing healing clinics ! Suppose to get to San Miguel de Allende for the hot springs !

As for keeping your dogs safe from other aggressive dogs, I strongly suggest living and walking them in a fraccionamiento. In my experience, few to no loose dogs.

I am interested in getting involved. I don’t want to be retirement bored. So what do people do other than eating and drinking?

Can you think of a place within an hour from a beach that is reasonable to live? 😊looking forward to learning about healthcare as well

Scouting trip to Playa del Carmen in August!! 🛬🇲🇽🏖️

I would like to hear alot about people deal day to day with the hot humid summers besides imagining that expats might have to stay at home in air conditioning all the time.

Unfortunately, its become very expensive to live in Mexico compared to my home in Florida

From Chicago

My situation is....I live in Ft. Lauderdale, FL and as much as I love it here, I'm being priced out and with a small income I need advice on where it's cheap yet safe there as I'm alone so safety is a must Please let me know what advice you can please give me as I need all the help I can get. Love all these videos, and thank you so much.

I really want to just pick up and leave to la paz. I heard it's become a bit expensive to maintain there

Question for y’all. Do any of you keep a house or condo in the US, just in case?

i wish you talked about border cities

Nice so how cool is it there

Hello Brighton , My wife Rosalba mentioned to me you are having a get together this Sunday , We are very interested in buying a home in Lapaz. Could you please let us know when and where. Thank you, Ken Jenson

38:27 Ernie, how would you compare Guanajuato and San Miguel? Thanks Bill

Want dry air area,a little rural im rural now and hate how much . don't want smuthering heat.

Can someone tell me if Lake Chappalla (sp?) is swimmable and is the fish taken from the lake edible. I keep hearing different answers.

Mexico City is pet friendly, especially in the Polanco and Roma neighborhood.

I spent time in Oaxaca and found it very noisy

Thank you for responding so promptly! Now my next question is: I am looking to purchase property on the gulf side of Yucatan. Would you know of a good realtor that you could turn me on to?

Pto Vallarta is sick of people coming to stay and think they're royalty and have more rights than is the locals they privatized our beaches and don't want to share it with locals, many times are very racist

Boy I can’t wait to be independent!!!!

Any info on how wheelchair accessible some of these locations are?

I live in a place where no one locks their door or cars. Lol

in Nicaragua from wisconsin

Hi y'all. David in Tampico, Tamps. HUGE question... How are expats who have pre-existing conditions (the vast majority I would think!) getting health insurance in Mexico. I have a pre-existing condition and have been told that ALL carriers AND IMSS will automatically deny me coverage. Help!!!!

The name of the town she was referring to i San Cristobal de las Cas Mexico, 200,000 people

Sure would have liked to have heard more on health care when Erinie was asked.

I am pretty much stuck in the Guadalajara metro area. I want to be close to family.

What about people who has only 2000 retirement a month

We are drinking wine, after some home made tacos

I want a 1 or 2 bedroom to rent ?

the tamarind vodka is delicious.

I would like to say that it is much saver in Japan, Taiwan, korea, and China than in Mexico.❤

Hi Brighton, Mariana and Ernie; Curious if you all think that the Scramble for residency (temporal/permanent) has dropped off a bit since it seems that Immigration is handing out 180 days again pretty freely?

For the person the is reading. Please if you are planning to move to Mexico leave the height and racism behind 😢😢😢 I JUST WATCH THE NEWS and the biggest problem for the USA citizens are imigrantes ❤ broken. !😭😭😭😭 Seen so many comments that can't believe a human can handle so much height and evil inside. IS NOT A PROBLEN THE FACT OF COST OF LIVING? OR The addictions being cause people living in the street and meny, meny others? Also in the video comments I saw CANIDIANS negative comments too. Is confusing.😢

How’s the isp and WiFi?

Do you have Links to your guest Instagram or accounts? I really enjoyed the conversation.

Ok......here's a question that I haven't heard covered in any videos about moving to Mexico......what type voltage and electrical outlets are used in Mexico? Is it 120 like in the US or is it 220 like Europe?

No Bull security gated community and talk about how safe everything is.

Assuming you have min . If $3275.00 usd per month temporary . OR $5260 per mo.. for permanent visa . YIKES

Hello, My husband and I will likely be moving to Baja in about a year. I would like to ask the community -currently living in Baja- if they had any difficulties moving belongings (Bedroom set, dinning set, clothes, appliances) across the Mexican border? Every Mexican family member that I know, that has sent stuff (clothes appliances, donation goods) across has always had to "pay" a hefty "fee" to dirty Mexican border agents that are extorting regular people just trying to either donate the stuff or make a decent living out of them. Any guidance on this helps please, thank you.
