As a Canadian, who claims Mexico as my country it's an amazing country. No joke! Mexicans are so open to everyone, and as a black man I never felt any issues in mexico. Such an amazing country and can't wait to move back!! Viva Mexico 🇲🇽🌮

I moved to Mexico this year and I regret I didn't do it sooner. I feel 100% safer than I did in the US, the culture and the people are very friendly and welcoming, and I can create my own career here. The fresh fruits and vegetables are amazing, the weather is great, and it's more about family and relationships, not how many hours you're working. I discover so much here, about myself and my city. I can visit other cities pretty cheaply, eat amazing food and see amazing sites. Health care is affordable and top notch. I'm never moving back to the US.

Mexican American here, both countries are great. Let’s keep working hard to make both countries better.

I have lived in Mexico for 13 years and would not even think of moving back to the US. Much more relaxed life here, and cost a lot less to live here.

10 years from now there will be people looking for Mexican citizenship like never before, the country is developing at an impressive speed and infrastructure is being built in every corner.

I've spent years living in South American countries and have only recently begun to spend time in Mexico. Among the things I really appreciate about Mexico is that, aside from being very open and genuinely friendly, Mexicans in general do not look at gringos as marks. In some countries further south you have to be very careful where that is concerned. It gets tiring. Mexico is a special place.

As a Mexican who has lived in various countries and also a Canadian citizenship holder, there is no place like Mexico in terms of people’s warmth and service, like Andrew rightfully pointed out. Each State is its own “mini-country” of its own due to its vast heritage of different cultures and geographical landscapes. But the warmth and friendship is shared all across. Not to mention the food, it’s just staple wherever you go. And safety? Well, like any country you find issues but overall I feel now safer here in CDMX than in Vancouver... Never thought that would ever be possible but nowadays that’s how I see it.

Mexican food is superior to all Spanish food. As a Costa Rican, I love my countries food, but Mexico can't be beat. Not to mention, the Mexican people are wonderful and I always have great things to say about them. It doesn't matter the education of the person, but they are always friendly.

I just feel bad for the cost of living being affected by this for the locals

I'm impressed about the conception that you guys have of my country as foreigners. I feel we, as mexicans tend to look only the "bad things". It is refreshing to hear all these nice things about Mexico. Everybody is welcome here!❤

I am a retired American who lives part-time in the Lake Chapala area, and just love Mexico.❤

I moved from Ottawa to Mexico in August 2021. Amazing food, great weather, friendly people, top-notch private health care, quality service, low taxes and high ROI... Canada is not getting better anytime soon. Get out while you can and go where you're treated best

Mexico could possibly be the most surrealist place on earth and speaking as a surrealist painter, it is paradise.

I'm from Mexico city but i live in the states. Can't believe people are finally looking at Mexico as a home and not the other way around what the news portraits it. 3 weeks ago I went to visit my family and lots of areas in Mexico are growing and lots have changed. Viva Mexico 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

I live in Tijuana Mexico and I cross the border every day for work life is much easier here you can accumulate a lot of wealth if you work in San Diego while living in Tijuana currently my rent is only $350 per month they just opened up a big high-rise in New City which only charges $490 a month and you get all of the amenities including a pool sauna steam room and gym. I highly recommend you get your passport and your global entry or century cards which helped you cross the border much quicker and move to Tijuana Mexico you can literally live a luxury life if you move over here while holding a job in San Diego

Got my MX citizenship this year, arrived as a tourist 7 years ago, never left

as a 1st generation american-american (first EVER in my family), i aqcuired my dual citizenship & moved to mexico a few years ago, and i have to say.. it was THE BEST decision i've ever made in my life. yes, even though i do speak spanish, and have been to mexico many times in the past throughout my life, i still had to assimilate. that being said, my quality of life is 10x better. people are MUCH friendlier, funnier, women are much better partners, food - i don't even have to say anything, the culture, music, parties, public transportation, extremely low cost and accessibility to medication and/or doctors. the list goes on FOREVER. i can safely say i will be spending the rest of my life here. i am lucky to have mexican heritage, and it truly made it easier to assimilate, integrate, and be well received by my mexican folks. in america, being a proud mexican is looked down upon by full-blooded americans. in mexico, EVERYONE is a proud mexican. VIVA MEXICO!!!

Thanks for promoting the Good .Positive Side of MEXICO!!

Mexico is great. I moved to rural Mexico to live off the grid in 2004. Freedom!

Mexico is Full of Culture, History and Beautiful People. Merry Christmas Andrew and All

I moved to Yucatán in 2021. The residency process is easy. The people are wonderful, gracious, and often very funny. Learning the language and culture are important and worth the effort to live in this amazing country. I feel so lucky to live here.

When I was in Guadalajara I was amazed by the restaurant service, I ordered a negra modelo but they didnt have it so the server walked to the store next door and brought it for me. The food was amazing and Ive gone there to eat every time I visit Guadalajara 😊 such lovely people.

These are all great points. My only concern is that Mexico eventually becomes californicated and thus displacing the local population and making these regions affordable only the wealthiest elite.

I agree - I can’t help but feel happy in Mexico. As a US citizen who moved to Mexico full time 3 years ago I love it and every time I go to the US and come back to Mexico I feel a big exhale and an overwhelming sense of calm and happiness. It’s the culture and the people and the food and the weather and incredible geographic diversity. No place is perfect but with some financial resources you can live a much better life in Mexico.

I'm glad you made this video. I have two short-mid term rentals in Mérida. I will be moving there full time in 2 years time. I still have a few more years of work here in the US before my 5 year plan to early retirement comes together. You are spot on about the friendliness of Mexicans. What a fantastic culture!

We are 2 Canadians that have been living in Mexico for over 2 years now. We are extremely happy living here. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 and God Bless. 🙏🎅⛄🎄✨

He’s not wrong. All the opportunities in Mexico are great and getting better. I’m planning in moving to Mexico after a good savings and retirement plan the travel opportunities are great.

Mexican living abroad (Melbourne, AU). Country is changing for the positive. I'm very happy.

México abusers all over the place now where I live. The reasons for moving are so selfish. They mostly do not integrate with us. Not even speak regularly Spanish. Instead, they have their own groups, creating segregation and worse, gentrification. I wouldn’t have any issue if: they were more open and at least trying to insert themselves culturally and create relationships with local people. Also, if you are going to live in another country, it is only fair if you pay taxes to that country, and I would argue to also work for a company in that country if you are an employee, or develop your company here if you are a an employer.

My husband & I just obtained Mexican citizenship off a citizenship firm $100k each.. we just landed in Switzerland with our MX passports (visa-free) we are about to move to Mexico 🇲🇽 beautiful country and people!!

Living in Cancun from Canada because of this channel. Thank you. #1 fastest growing area in the Americas

Mexico is a special place and has been healing and enlivening being here.

As someone living in Mexico, in a relatively safe location, I agree with what you say. HOWEVER, security is still an issue in the country, and many are quite concerned about that. People coming from abroad should NEVER underestimate their safety, and not attract any unwanted attention. There was a recent case of a citizen from India having his life cut short because he withdrew a large amount of cash at the airport and was noticed by some gangs. If security and crime could be addressed along with other aspects such as corruption, inefficient bureaucracy, and nepotism, then yes, Mexico has lots of potential, and quite good food on top of that.

Always wanted to visit Mexico but never saw myself living there because of my love of 4 seasons. But now that we haven’t had snowfall that amounts to anything here in PA in 5+ years, and these snowless Winters and 10-day Autumns are giving me seasonal depression from disappointment, it’s approaching worthwhile to think about heading South. If Winter’s gone forever then might as well live in a cultured beach city.

Really glad you did this vid Andrew. I'm a full-time resident, having lived here the past 9 years. Totally agree with your views of this great country.

As a mexican, I am very happy to witness how Mexico's image is improving thanks to videos like these, not only from americans, but people from many countries. I am immerse in everyday problems, politics and complain, complain, complain, and I sometimes give many things for granted, but seeing Mexico through your eyes makes me appreciate it even more. Now I am thankful that I was born in the best country in the world!

Totally agree with you about great service in Mexico, maybe the best I´ve seen anywhere else, and let me tell you I´ve been around a lot.

As a Mexican, I agree with Andrew. Mexico is indeed a great place to live with many advantages.... But it really does help if you have the means to enjoy all of it...

I moved to Mexico earlier this year and it’s been amazing!

I visited it once and it was the best experience in-terms of people. they are super social and friendly. open all day long . lots of shops

I returned from a one-week trip to the Mayan Riviera yesterday. It is beautiful, with a lot of potential for investing and very tourist friendly. Tulum just opened a new international airport

I want to return to my country, city, Mexico! 😭 I'm done living here in Europe, France! 😢 I hope and wish it happens very soon! 🙏

la neta los mexicanos siempre les daremos la bienvenida, pero por lo menos sean conscientes del daño que le están haciendo a nuestra capacidad adquisitiva cuando vienen a inflarnos todos los precios.

With what’s going on in the USA with increasing numbers of problems from foreign to abroad. Inflations,Taxes,War,High crime and housing market chaos is insane! Mexico doesn’t sound that bad in fact the Infrastructure and Architecture are getting great!

thank you for this video, I'm from Guadalajara and have visited many countries but for me Mexico city is the best city in the world!!!❤

As a Mexican, my personal opinion on this whole issue is, yeah, it's complicated with all the gentrification and price increase issues that some foreign migration is causing. BUT, I am sure we can find ways to make this work for everyone. Everyone should be welcome: That's our culture. We'll figure it out. Come pay a visit and see if it's for you. You'll always have easy access to delicious food, overall good healthcare, a caring community of people watching out for each other. We can help each other out. As country neighbors, as human beings.

1. You do not have more freedom in Mexico - just because the Mexican government doesn't control as much as the US does not mean you have more freedom! Why not goto Somalia? They have more freedom than Mexico!!! 2. You do not have 2A rights in Mexico! 3. Mexico will not become a superpower in manufacturing - the level of education isn't there and can't compete on world class basis! 4. Look at the civilian murder statistic in Mexico by the drug Cartels!!! You want to put your life at risk - that's on you!!! 5. The drug cartels have military grade weapons and the government is powerless to do anything about it!!! 6. The corruption at all level is insane and out of control! A family from San Diego went to Mexico for vacation a while ago and while driving back, their car got t boned at an intersection by a Mexican government official! Got to a Mexican hospital, it was nearly impossible to transport the injured father back to the US without paying the bribes! Eventually, he did get back to the US. Unfortunately, he DIED of his injuries! Why aren't you mentioning these dangers??!!!

Yes Mexico City is great. I stayed there for 6 months. The worst thing is the extreme air pollution.

Got my Temporary Residency in March and moved to the Lake Chapala area in September. Plan on staying 6-8 months every year. Wonderful weather and people. I should have done this years ago. I’ve met people from all over the world living here. Will spend the other 4-6 months visiting friends and family in the US as well as traveling to other countries. Living really well on $3000 us a month but will be moving to a smaller house soon and will be at $2300 - $2500.

I'm Canadian and I'm planning to live in Mexico half the year, starting in 2025.

I moved there this year and have loved it. I only wish I moved sooner. The people are so kind there and it’s a fun place to be with so much less micromanaging of its citizens.

We just got our 3 year residency on our way to permanent. I love love love Mexico City. So many people are afraid of it but its fantastic. Roma Northe is so cool. In Puerta Vallarta right now for a visit. To many tourist lol.

I love to hear that more and more Americans are going to Mexico and starting a life and leaving USA because is very expensive and the Government is corrupted.

I have Mexican citizenship. I was born in Mexico but raised in the US after my parents immigrated to the US when I was very young. I have dual US and Mexican citizenship. I currently live in the Philippines on an SRRV permanent residence visa. I am thinking about using my Mexican citizenship more and more.

Thanks Andrew for all your information about Mexico. I’ve currently been here traveling around the different states in Mexico since August. I’ve tried to apply for temporary residency twice once before i first came and another when I went back to visit my family for Thanksgiving. The New Orleans consulate was giving me a hard time about my documents since I have my own business and make well over required amount but they said my business paystubs didn’t match up for some reason. I hope to be successful my 3rd attempt and may just try to look for a job or business opportunity here so i can get temporary residence and work permit. You’ve been a real help to my mental and financial success as a 21 year old entrepreneur thanks and I hope to do some business with you one day🙏🏽

Sorry, no more room for anyone else here in Mexico. It's scary. Food here is bad. No houses left. You have to ride a mule. Don't come.

Mexico has a lot to offer, and you can enjoy a pretty high standard of living especially if you earn USD/CAD etc. Cost of living is substantially less than its northern neighbors (although Mexico can no longer be consider a "cheap" country, especially if you want to live and eat well). It does however have its downsides. One of the biggest adjustments for an American/Canadian is the overall aesthetic. Large parts of the country are, quite frankly, ugly. If you're accustomed to the kinds of amenities, especially parks and green spaces that you'd find in American or Canadian cities, Mexico can be a bit disappointing in that department. Not to mention when you do find some open space it is often full of garbage and trash and discarded construction materials, plastic bottles and all manner of refuse floating in waterways and so forth. In short, it can be sort of stinky and trashy and ugly. It's not on the same level, nowhere close really, as what you're used to in North America. CDMX is a lively and dynamic city, with some nice parks and an excellent metro system making it easy to get around. That being said if you like peace and quiet, it's likely not the place for you. 20 million people gets tiring. Also important to consider that, statistically, Mexico City is not a particularly safe place. If you're considering living there, and Mexico in general, you need to educate yourself, familiarize with local culture and socioeconomic realities, and update your security practices accordingly. Mexican food is (or can be) fantastic. It can also be mediocre. Mexico City has a good selection of international fare, but if you're in other Mexican cities it can be tricky to find anything more than an endless menu of tacos and pizza. It's not like most North American cities where you can find superb quality food from any country. I've heard much about the "warmth" of Mexican people, but I didn't find them any warmer than people I've met from anywhere else. There's nothing special about them, to put it bluntly. There are lovely Mexicans and there are idiots too, just like everywhere else. There is a wealth of nature to explore outside the cities. Mexico has many national and state parks, and protected wilderness areas. And of course the beaches are amazing (depending where you go). There are also some fantastic real estate opportunities, especially if you're willing to look beyond the usual touristic areas. Unless you're in a smaller town, I'm not sure I'd want to raise a family in Mexico, to be honest. I suppose that depends on your values and priorities. Children don't play outside by themselves and are mostly confined to indoor areas or courtyards behind walls. It's not common to see kids just running around their neighborhood playing. Parents rightfully have security concerns. This is something to consider carefully. My recommendation would be that if you are planning to raise kids in Mexico, find a smaller town where you'd feel comfortable with them playing outside and being kids and being safe and free. No country is perfect and we all have to weigh our decisions. I would still choose Mexico over Canada no matter what, just for the climate alone. When comparing to the USA, it would really depend on what city and state we're talking about. Another thing to consider is if you're a freedom loving American who wants to own guns and go shooting, you'd best stay north of the border. It is possible to own some firearms in Mexico but the process is much more strict and highly regulated. And of course any review of Mexico would be incomplete without pointing out it is technically a narco-state. Mostly it all runs under the surface and you won't see much unless you're in a particularly dangerous place like Celaya or something, or buying cocaine from a guy in the bathroom at a cartel-owned club in a tourist beach town. Nevertheless, it is a reality. And just as you might be leaving your current country partly for political reasons, you'd better at least understand that the political situation in Mexico is, for lack of a better word, Fubar, and won't change significantly in our lifetimes unless the Mexican people rise up in armed revolution, which probably ain't gonna happen. Make your peace with it and enjoy a beer and some cheap(ish) tacos on the beach. Overall, in terms of quality of life, Mexico has everything you need and a wealth of natural beauty. You will run up against certain limitations and drawbacks; some of those little things just have to be discovered by spending time there. I'd give it 7.5/10 overall. It's definitely possible to find your slice of paradise and carve out an amazing life down there.

On my path through residency to citizenship… the long way 😇. Can’t afford CBI but I’ve seen the significance of getting my options together! Even when my family doesn’t understand… I’ll be the pathfinder and trailblazer! ❤

Mexico, great country!

was just in CDMX in the late fall. Such a wonderful place. Andrew hits the nail on the head in this video

i love Mexico 🇲🇽❤️

I hope the Taxman comes to visit all of you soon (el SAT, aka mexican IRS ).

I am a United States Citizen and have been living in Mexico for 12 years. I was introduced to Mexico through a Craigslist ad encouraging to try living in Mexico and working in San Diego. The cost of living in Mexico is much more affordable with rent approximately 300 dollars a month compared to over 2,000 dollars a month in San Diego. I did have the best concerning the food and other shopping items purchased being able to purchase in either San Diego or Tijuana. The Border Crossing could be an issue during busy times. A SENTRI or Global Entry Card would be helpful.

I have multiple friends that left Chicago for Mexico, when I see them around tax time, April, they all look better, younger,less stress better food,. The proximity is also , key,.

Happy ......Healthy Christmas and New Year , Andrew .

Mexico is the best place to live in Latina America and one of the best in the world!!😀😀

I guess many people from around the globe can find Mexico as a lovely place to live, but me being Mexican and now retired living in Texas and slipping away from all the unpleasant way of life of Mexico I can’t believe people from the first world want to go to a country where you can’t walk without danger, travel without danger, have a Bussines without danger. Mexico is a place where you can get missing by police of criminals, you can’t trust that electricity, water or internet services as reliable and many more things that can get you frustrated. Now I live in Texas with peace, reliability, with people really happy and where communities help each other.

México es un país hermoso, tenemos gente buena , el único problema es que esos carteles son un problema. Extraño mi México 🥺.

Totally 🎉 "La Patria Madrina" 😊❤💯 I'm totally bilingual and although, I was born in South America, I grew up in California, went to school with many Mexicans and I even have one nice and nephew who are part of Mexican decent. I love the people, I feel at home among them. They shared many of my own personal values and I have never felt unsafe vacationing there. Great food, lovely country and being near the USA. I love cooking Mexican food and being able to make uses of both English and Spanish ❤ 🎉🎉🎉

Im in CDMX now and its been a great experience so far. You touched on "Feeling Happy" and I couldnt agree more. I was noticing this yesterday exploring and taking a walk in Polanco. I'm here for 3 weeks and will explore other communities as well. Merry Xmas!

I lived in Mexico City, Puerto Vallarta, Rosarito, Guadalajara and Chihuahua. Here are some wonderful facts: 1- If you wish to rent a place, be ready to present a co-signer to your rental agreement, or put up a huge deposit (not preferred by the owners). 2- While working in a project at a Mexican mine, while being driven to the airport my car was escorted by a pickup truck with guards carrying rifles and submachine guns. 3- When my family and I lived in Chihuahua we lived in a nice house, with a swimming pool, inside a guarded residential area. It was like living in a golden cage, as we couldn't go out without seeing people hanging from bridges by the neck, be threatened by shootouts, or possibly seeing a severed head in the street. 4- If you want to live in a house that will be almost as comfortable as an American home, be prepared to have a lot of money. 5- When in Puerto Vallarta we found out that it is good if you are at a hotel. Shopping at a large supermarket we found food, particularly vegetables, to be very dirty, not trustworthy for our consumption. 6- Bureaucracy is out of control. 7- Businesses will screw you up with no consequences. 8- All people are not as nice as stated. I have had many rude interactions there as in the US or anywhere in the world. 9 - If you say that infrastructure is great, I am sure you haven't been driving around, you don't use Mexican utilities, and you don't use Mexican internet. I am sure I could remember a lot more but will stop using my time for nothing.

Me caiste muy bien güero, muchas gracias por hablar bien de mi querido país!!!

I got my Mexican residency and in Mexico now In Mazatlán. I use to come here alit but I'm glad I've acquired this residency and picked up a second citizenship in another country and looking to get Mexican in the future.

As a Mexican I can tell you that Mexico treats way better tourist and foreign people than nationals. Life is easy here if you have an American salary, but the majority of Mexico suffers a lot

Thanks Andrew Mexico 🇲🇽 is Amazing Happy Holidays

I love it. Thank you

Great video I was thinking about this but now I will def take the plunge !

The growing number of Englisj-speaking people is amazing. The food is incredible.

Sure, I'd love to have Mexican citizenship. But at this point in my life... if I had the opportunity to exchange my US citizenship for Mexican citizenship, I wouldn't do it.

Mexico City is one of my favorites in the world - it has a great buzz, some beautiful neighborhoods. For something quieter, with similar climate, a small international airport & a booming economy - an hour from San Miguel there is Querétaro. I bought a house in its historic center & it’s a fantastic lifestyle: very walkable, lots of markets, grocery stores, restaurants, excellent hospitals… many cultural events to attend. It’s not as sophisticated as CDMX or has as many expats as San Miguel, but it’s moving in that direction every year…

I got my residency in July aling with my husband and we cannot wait for our home to sell to move to Yucatan in 2024!🎉 having a beautiful home built there in a master planned community for unbelievable price and only 4 min walk to the ⛱️ (cannot wait to leave Florida!)

As an american. That has lived in Mexico and probably 4-5 other latin american countries Mexico is by far my favorite I consider it home still

If you come and stay in Mexico City, remember 3 things: 1) You are not a tourist, expat or a "digital nomad", you are an inmigrant: You HAVE to adapt to our country and ways of life 2) Employees in shops, restaurants, etc are NOT BENEATH YOU, here in Mexico we treat people as we wish to be treated 3)Respect our culture, make an effort to learn the language and our history

I love Mexico. I love the people, the food, knowing that it is cheaper but no one talks about water. There is no water nor rain in Mexico. Many lakes, rivers are dry and things are getting worse with time. I was in Morelia and was sad to see that within the 3 months I was there, it only rain once and for only 3 minutes. If the Mexican government doesn’t do anything about it and stop the construction in hills, taking the water away from the cities, pretty soon, it will start buying water from Bill Gates!

There are sacrifices, though… The security factor is one. Opening up a business, a México makes you into a target, you’ll be extorted without question. The healthcare system for general healthcare is poor, but with a little bit of money you can go to a private clinic. Any major things, you’d want to be in the USA. The benefits I find are a vibrant culture with people that are growing… Mexico has a lot of room for growth, so it’s a very fun place to be… People are alive, moving up in the world, hanging out and doing fun stuff. But don’t think it’s all peaches and cream… Because there are trade-offs

I just hope Mexico understands the gentrification problem and starts working in policies that prevent the local population to be displaced to the outskirts of the cities or to the marginalized areas of certain cities, while still allowing foreigners to put some investment and enjoy our beautiful country. If this problem is not managed, then all the best areas to live in Mexico will be privately owned by foreigners only and also soon the prices will be as high as in Europe/US and I'm pretty sure nobody wants that. Limit the number of foreign immigrants that can buy and settle in certain areas, or heavily tax Digital nomads/people with foreign income is one of the few solutions I can think of right now.

As Mexican living in the US, the thing that I miss the most is, the sense of humor, and I mean clean sense of humor, where can I fin that?

I cannot wait to renounce my US citizenship. It's time to move on!

Have been here in Mexico 🇲🇽 since 2007 ❤ The land of opportunity 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

My daughter’s biological mother lives in Playa Del Carmen. A judge here in Salt Lake City just terminated her rights as a mother because she lives in Playa Del Carmen and her daughter lives here. Our daughter was born in Pachuca so she is a Mexican citizen. I didn’t know that the US court could terminate a Mexican citizen rights to her own Mexican born child. Oh I thought she was my biological daughter but I found out only after my sister made a horrendous claim to DCFS that I was buying and selling kids. Homeland Security testified they didn’t find any evidence of anything. My sister was left out of our parents will so she made this claim to DCFS because I wouldn’t give her my share of the inheritance. We need help with the appeal but we are totally broke. No more inheritance left or anymore equity in the house. Anyone have any ideas? We just want our daughter returned back to her mother in Playa Del Carmen.

Congrats to show foreign people another perspective of Mexico, gracias!!!!

Actually mexico 🇲🇽 is now No. 12 richest country!! 👍🤍

Andrew while what you said is true, and definitely for someone who doesn't speak or is intimidated by Spanish language, the benefit I see is that it forces me to speak Spanish. I happen to speak Spanish. It's an acquired skill for me. Mexico is one of the places I am able to do it. Within a half a day to a day I am able to function in Spanish for about 80 percent of my conversations. I am not of any Spanish background...I acquired the skill. My Spanish sounds very South American though, as I learned from Argentines how to speak it when I studied in Argentina for a full academic year, after 3 years study in USA. My accent sounds like that of Cordoba Argentina. I know that many are intimidated by Spanish, but my view is that learning something, even if it is not directly tied to your profession, is useful and keeps your brain from atrophy as you age. Now how can I convince my elderly father, still in good health, to not write off Latin America. He keeps calling Mexico dangerous...the whole place.....when we all know it's not monolithic. My wife and I both have our eyes on Puebla, Guadalajara, Monterrey, and Queretaro. Mexico is the immediate go to for my wife and I, if not the USA...where were ate currently based.

CDMX is a food paradise

The problem with Mexico is the justice system. Chances something happening to you is pretty low deppending on your life style and "chance". But if you are one of those unlucky ones who get logged off planet earth. Statisticly speaking, Chances of your family getting closure or justice is low. Saying that I love Mexico and have my permittent visa 😂.

A relative of mine did charity work in Acapulco. Outside of the main resort area, it is just a total shithole. Third world insanely poor conditions. And while Mexico has a lot of natural wealth, outside of a few areas of Mexico city, parts of El Bajío especially Guadalajara, Monterrey, there are no really large continuous wealthy areas unlike in the US/Europe and Australia.

I traveled Mexico off and on for about 4 years and I loved it....the food and services are amazing!! I took 12 people out for dinner everyone ate and had drinks...cost me less than $65 real estate is more expensive than America if you want to buy a house but back then a one night stay at Holiday inn was $50

Thank you for talking like that about my country!

What are your thoughts on the easy way out of Canada: that's spending 180 days in southern California, and then you drive down to somewhere in Baja and spend 180 days and go back and forth every 180 days of tourism... I know you are allergic to the United States, but after spending over 3 decades in Montreal, the weather in southern California is like an antidote. Too much Montreal weather is poison to the soul, it's like being on house arrest almost, you are pretty much stuck inside 9 months a year.

The Cartels own Mexico so good luck.
