Super interested in Mexico City but would like to find something for $700 (2 bedroom). It's okay if we aren't in an expat community. Any suggestions?

Meet other mexican families, you will love our culture, dont be like other foreigners tha dont iteract with native ppl

Hi guys, even though it was hot, was it a dry heat or were you sweating bullets?

As a resident of Guadalajara, borned and raised, I want to express how the massive influx of "expats" makes me feel. The reality is that the majority of us cannot afford the same places you can, which displaces us and negatively impacts our communities. It's uncomfortable to see how some of you expect us to speak English and adapt to your culture, often ignoring our identity and needs. For example, the average salary here is about 8000 pesos a month, which is roughly $470 USD. Despite this, expats can afford to live in the best parts of the city. While it's great that they can afford it, it feels wrong for some reason. Your perspectives are extremely limited by the privileges you enjoy. You don't have to experience the insecurity, the real climate of the city, the public transportation, or any of the challenges we face daily because you have the means to just avoid them, which we can't. You can afford air conditioning, at home, om the car etc whereas I only know two people who have it, its really seen as s luxury, you can avoid walking under the sun or taking the packed public transportation Calling yourselves "expats" instead of immigrants or economic refugees also minimizes your impact and unjustly privileges you. I hope these points can open a more honest and conscious dialogue about the effects these movements have on our communities. Please, maybe think twice when coming to a "cheaper" country, cuz its just a horrible horrible *problem* that we, people who can not at all afford to flee as you guys can, have to endure.

Hello and welcome to Mexico City! I would like to see the one you decided to live in.

Hi Proff’ you’re looking less groomed than usual, please take care of yourself and show it. Regards

I left Portugal and spent time in Madrid. I like Madrid, despite the negative comments I heard from Americans about racism. Many African Americans vowed that they would never return. My experience was totally different. I love the food, upscale clothing, and unique, nice furniture. Currently, I'm in Toulouse, France, and love it due to the diversity, but as usual, the Africans/Arabs from Morocco and Algeria are thought of negatively. I see a lot of homelessness, and drinking with these groups. I have also noticed that everyone can tell I'm not your usual black person. Many people start conversations to ask me where I'm from. It also does not help that I'm African-American with two dogs, a Maltipoo and a Bichon Frise. How many Africans do you see with two well-groomed dogs? It must be hard for the Africans to see other black people who do not receive the hate!

I totally agree with what you said. I lived a year in Playa and it's so hot. I can't handle the heat. There isn't a lot to do indoors or with AC. I got sick of the same people trying to sell me tours every day and being treated like a tourist 24/7. The prices are nuts. I lived a year in Guadalajara and am now in Mexico City. I also was in Merida and a few other places. I am single with no kids, but you are spot on.

off yourselves

I was in Envigado and I thought it was very walkable. It’s more local. Where you stayed was more touristy.

Welcome to Mexico. Quick question- would you recommend blaxicocina?

No judgement here but you might have stayed in an upscale bubble in terms of diversity. There are significant Indian, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, French, Argentinian, Spanish, Canadian, Venezualian, Lebanese, etc. communities, but they wouldn't live in very expensive Providencia, where only rich Mexicans can afford to live. Also, GDL is a large Mexican city = many Mexicans! 😉

What schools are you guys looking at?

Facts. 🇲🇽🔥

🎉🎉🎉🎉Salute

how much are you paying for your apartment?

Amazing vid! That first small apartment would be perfect for me. I don't need a lot of space, I just like the location and that clean and modern loft look . Super cool.

You have beautiful children.

I really enjoyed the video and your review - thank you! We are a nomadic family and we’ve been in Brazil before, just not Rio de Janeiro (yet 😉). We will be there in the beginning of 2025 and after that, as a suggestion and recommendation as well, we are going to Pipa, in Northeast. We’ve been there this year and it was absolutely amazing, and I think you would also like it 😊

Do you guys pay taxes in Mexico, cause if you’re living here you should

Hola, come and visit Queretaro guys. You'll love it.

Love when you do a search for something on KZfaq and find someone you know. Loved your insight!

I immediately fell in love with Guadalajara when i visited while living in Merida. I stayed in providencia and it was perfect...i cant wait to move in a few months

wakanda foreva

Beautiful.❤

I'm dead.... LOL

Do you have a work Visa? Does the Mexican government know you're working while being here? If so, are you paying your due taxes to them, i.e., 16% every paycheck approximately? If the answer is no to any of these, you're commiting tax evasion and contributing to gentrification in Guadalajara

In providencia you can walk to all kinds of places, parks, malls, schools, cafes restaurants etc. Your video shows colinas. Not providencia. I think this is very misguiding.

You guys have adorable kids ☺I'm glad y'all are enjoying CDMX

Have you been in Parque La Mexicana in Santa Fe, Mexico City??

Visit Santa Fe parque la mexicana

Love it❤

YOU GET A BETTER DEAL FOR YOUR DOLLARS IN PHILIPINES, THAILAND ,COSTA RICA OR ARGENTINASO PLEASE DONT COME TO MEXICO IS NOT SAFE FOR YOU AND NOW MORE THAT YOU WILL BE A WEALTHY PERSON IN A POOR COUNTRY YOU WILL BECOME A TARGET TO THE CARTELS

I am plant based, is there any restaurant in tulum?

Hey you guys so far what’s been your favorite place you lived with the kids I was considering PDC but I agree with all points in video also with every I’ve getting expensive but I see your in Mexico City I recently came back from looking at places I actually felt Mexico City was extremely way more expensive then PDC and I actually loved Mexico City way more what are your thoughts?

We love Guadalajara! ❤ We traveled to lots of places in Mexico last year trying to figure out where to live and ended up choosing GDL as the home base.

Excellent interview, and Yoli is such an inspiration! Thank you for the amazing content!

All Mexicans have light and dark family members and we love all of our family members

Just ran across this video and subscribed....well done and very informative....thanks fam!

I was in Cancun and playa del carmen and basically saw zero Mexicans that looked like us so. Secondly you did not mention the gringo tax where people are paying 5, 10 or even 100 times more than what the average Mexican would pay for the same thing , for example paying 7.00 USD for a coconut with a straw in it 🤣🤣😭😭. Lastly, Latin America is very family oriented in general and not something specific to Mexico in my experience.

Just got my flight today. I am going from 5th to 10th to see what I think and hopefully I plan to come back to live. 😊

single dad of 3 preparing to migrate to madrid would love to get some feedback from you guys

How much a month 3 k

Great video, thanks for sharing! Very informative!

I wish gringos never discovered Mexico in the first place. We like you to stay on your side of the river
