My wife and I relocated to Morelia, Michoacan, three years ago. I find Mexico every bit as free as in the States! There's a lot less stress and far fewer regulations. The culture, people, architecture, food, the lower cost of living are just some of the positives. It's proven to be the best move I've ever made! I'm never going back! VIVA MEXICO 🇲🇽

"We are not living in America" 🤦🏽 those gringos still thinking "third world" is not having the city comodities at the beach or a place where you go to chill out. México is a non aligned country (polítical term). But as they said at the beginning "México is freedom".

@lacha608 3 ай бұрын

Hmmm. These Tulum vids are making it clear to me that the places Kristen gravitates toward are not the same as those I would. The whole techie, 'spiritual,' burning man, dj, party scene, etc. is a social scene I feel very averse to. I remember Kristen saying in, I think her Liverpool (?,) video that in all her years abroad it was the first non-touristic place she had lived. Maybe this explains some of the difference. I prefer a more mature, worldly, socially conscious (in the sense of being aware of things like local culture, social justice issues, climate science) crowd with their feet planted on on solid ground. Not sure if I'll be able to find my people (gearing up for long term travel for the first time in a very long time), but I know that the kinds of expat bubbles that resonate with Kristen are scenes I want to avoid both in the U.S. and abroad. Maybe Kristen's videos will have more value to me to allow me to make note of some places to avoid. Didn't listen too far in to this one. Different strokes for different folks.

Agree. I go somewhere to enjoy those people and what they offer. When I moved to Australia in the '90s, I completely avoided Americans. This kind of stuff is not for me. Spiritual with salsa music, sorry. And did you hear, he screwed over whomever he leased from, and walked out on his contract/lease. That's the kind of person I want to hang with... Not.

Hi Lacha, thanks for your feedback. As someone who has traveled to 63 countries, I've lived in many diverse places under different circumstances, from being the only foreigner in a tiny village in Nicaragua to coliving in arctic Norway and the remote north of Iceland to studying abroad in Australia. What I love about travel and the people I meet is the differences you can discern between the culture of each place (and how things change over the years). I will continue to go places that attract many outsiders to investigate what it is about that place that draws people there, while balancing these experiences with lesser known destinations. No one person, place, or experience can define your life or worldview. We grow and learn with each experience. If you're looking for destinations off-the-beaten-path, perhaps my video on underrated travel destinations would be of interest to you: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/erqaaqtmua6YqIE.html

NYC is lethal now yet people constantly panic about Latin American cities, use common sense and avoid very expensive jewellery using 1500 dollar phones in poverty stricken places and you tend to be fine. I lived in Mexico for 2 years, Brazil 3 and have been in Argentina a while in all that time I was short changed by a taxi driver that’s all. Visited New York last year for the first time in years and was threatened by my Airbnb host, watched a customer pull a gun on a barman in Times Square and had a junkie demand cash with a loaded syringe at 6am on the subway in one week.

If someone needs stimulants to have optimal cognitive ability, I feel sorry for them. If you have circulatory problems, there are drugs to deal with that, which don't screw with your brain. Maybe they should just accept there are people a few ticks brighter than them. Side effects of caffeine can include many things, right up to death from it triggering heart arrythmias in some people. I had to quit caffeine at age 37 due to a heart arrythmia being triggered mostly by 3 things: caffeine, fatigue, and lack of sleep. After becoming "clean" of caffeine (which took several months of weaning off, after going cold turkey was not handled well by my body) I gained the perspective that I'd spent decades in slightly altered states of health and being, and that it had been a mistake. Most people don't even know what their natural state is, because they are addicted to one or more things which affect them more than they think. I'm not saying it's terrible to have a caffeine addiction disguised as a love for coffee. I'm just saying that someone who doesn't give it up for probably about a year, doesn't even know what their baseline state without it even is. Same for alcohol. Just take a year off from having ANY. If you can't, maybe you have a problem, or at least are more affected by it than you think. Some years, I have two drinks all year, both during the Super Bowl, because my late great father rarely drank in his later years, but poured a beer for each of us at the start of each half. Other years, I have two drinks per week, or two drinks per day a couple of days per week. It is very different saying "I could stop anytime I want, I just don't want to" and actually knowing that you can stop anytime, because you have done so successfully every time you decided to.

Bodily autonomy is not only a freedom but human right. Coercion is not only illegal but unethical. You have authority over what you do with YOUR body, not another person’s. EVERY drug has risks and it is up to the individual to choose whether they engage in the use of that particular drug or not. Some choose not to and for good reason. Not only is natural immunity the most robust, but the experimental drugs given left many with negative health outcomes. Perhaps YOU don’t value basic human rights and freedoms or understand how the sick care system of the West actually operates, but some do and find these takes invaluable 🤷‍♀️ Also, the inflation we’re currently experiencing: you can thank the “basic public health measures” for that. They didn’t work, but what does that matter to you?
