You're the best!

@@MoveAbroadandThrive ❤️

no no no, she almost ran over a motorcyclist .. i had to take over the wheel lol

😊 thank you

I appreciate your kind words... Thank u. I'll keep making more local stuff type videos outside of the expat bubble. In regards to the other comment the other person made ... Folks seem to get so triggered nowadays ... In our house, we banter, tease and joke back and forth all day ... That's why it comes across so casually on video because it's 'us' in our normal element being ourselves... Everyone is so uptight and offended by everything nowadays to the point they're offended by how we do things in our own house, lol ... It's challenging trying to appease and please everyone. I get harassed for traveling abroad with my children (apparently, some think it's irresponsible to take children out of the US). Other folks harass me for 'home schooling' my kids. Others give me a hard time because I share to much of our private life online (kids illnesses, my illnesses, our marriage, etc...). We have decided to open up our lives to the world to share what its like to live abroad and when we made that decision, it included sharing the good, the bad, the fun and the boring; which is why i don't edit videos 98% of the time. No matter what we do someone is offended, bothered or triggered... I appreciate feedback of course, but my oh my ... We've been harassing my wife about the way she drives for 25 years (all the tickets she's accumulated over the years are staggering -- she really can't drive, LOL)

Love your videos. Glad you feel welcomed in Mexico.

Thank you.

❤️ love the bantering back and forth. Real family life right there. 😝

Please do! There are a bunch of little towns around Merida; definitely worth exploring.

You noticed that right, lol. Felt i was being stalked, lol 😂😅

You are so kind

Thank u.

😂😂😂😂 she was running stop signs, red lights, stalling in the middle of intersections and a whole host of other things, lo... While swearing she's a good driver 😂😂😂

That was a nice one

I decided to keep looking :)

@@MoveAbroadandThrive okay I know you will find the perfect place.

I almost liked it

Yes... that 3rd one was horrible

😊😊😊

❤❤❤

😂😂😂

If it had a pool i would have gotten it but i'm still looking :(

I almost want that one but I think i can do better for a little more.

Good topic ... I'll make a video about it soon

I should have been saying 600 square meters (you are correct), and that's for the total space (house and the property the house sits on too). Sometimes I get 'brain freeze', lol

@@MoveAbroadandThrive OK! I thought the house was 600 square meters, lol. It makes more sense now.

Agreed. It's super nice but price just ain't right without the pool. It was significantly larger than all the other houses combined lol

@belltowndaisy True. Too far away (kids like that 'city life' too much and the uber rides would be costly for them getting back and forth.

Ignore them. They mean well but ignore them.

Once they get a contract, he agreed to add 3 a/c to all 3 bedrooms. I'd have to get my own a/c installed outta pocket for the living room if i wanted one down there. For 8500/mo, I'd do it. This one is still on my list.Keeps my costs drastically low and gives me an extra room and more space than i have now, where I pay 12,500. My Uber bill would drop since my kids friends are all up in this area. So it ain't completely off my list

@@MoveAbroadandThrive that will work as long as you can have adequate cooling and you okay with the payment you know what you can afford just don't give away your money better too have something to put away as rent goes up you can prepare to buy your own for the prices they are starting to look like here in the US keep the videos coming brother you ain't inspiring me I supposed to go to Columbia your first stop I've been following you for years I meant my loved one there and I should be joining her in a few wish me good luck we're looking to live in Ibague. Wish you the best brother and your family 🌄🦍❤️

@@blackdiamond306 Keep me posted on how things go for you in Ibague. The cost of living there is ridiculously low. It's still in the back of my mind. I love that place. The mountain views are incredible. It's like it's 3D all around.

😄😄😄

Lol. That's mexico city slang where my husband is from

Depending on where you live in Merida, the beach can be 25-minutes away (from the North side where I live). From "Centro", can be 45-55 minutes.

Depends which area... Not an issue at the last house we saw ... And for the most part, it's not an issue in Cholul or Conkal, but some pockets can have issues...

Yes. Per month.

True

😊

That area is full of new development and houses going up everyday. I told him I'd take it for $12,000, and of course they laughed me outta there, lol. Told them i wasn't giving that much without a pool and a/c downstairs

Gringo 😉

i definitely understand your concern. As a family we decided to be 100% transparent and open. Not hide the good nor the bad. Our choice. But i understand your feelings. On a side-note: we've been harassing my wife about the way she drives for 25 years (all the tickets she's accumulated over the years are staggering -- she really can't drive, LOL). In our house, we banter, tease and joke back and forth all day ... That's why it comes across so casually on video because it's 'us' in our normal element being ourselves...

Others give me a hard time because I share to much of our private life online (kids illnesses, my illnesses, our marriage, etc...). Everyone has an opinion on how or what. We have decided to open up our lives to the world to share what its like to live abroad and when we made that decision, it included sharing the good, the bad, the fun and the boring; which is why i don't edit videos 98% of the time. We be ourselves and act up and cut a fool because that's what we do and have no problem doing it openly. But i understand. I do appreciate the fact you watch our content and i don't take that lightly. If i thought my wife had issues with it, i'd be more conscious of it; and trust me, there have been a few times she's brought some stuff up and I corrected course. This was not one of them.

@@MoveAbroadandThrive I can respect that. Again. Thank you for all of the content and I hope we see you on the streets of Yucatan when we arrive!

@tracymartin-wray2491 Tracy, I had the pleasure of meeting them both (dinner/@hanging out), and believe me, they were riding each other all night. It was hilarious because she is small but mighty and gets back with him when she's not laughing at him. I can tell they love each other a lot, and this is how they do. It's THEIR "thing" and it's what makes their relationship unique and work for THEM.

@veganista5096 I have no doubt they love each other. I, too, have been married for over 20 years, and you definitely develop your own way of communication that others may not understand. You are so right when you point out that their communication style has to work for them. 💜
