My name is Mora and I’m taking my life and my two dogs to Mexico.
My 2 dogs and I drove down to Mexico from Oregon at the end of March 2024. After many years of being a nurse, I needed to stop and make a radical change.
Since then we've explored many parts of Mexico, from the playa to the mountains, finding treasures along the way, and getting to know the culture, language and traditions of this great country. Ultimately, I'm looking for a pueblo to settle in permanently, and for these last months I've had the pleasure of discovering many lovely towns and cities along the way.
In my videos I discuss some of the places we've explored, the pros and cons of moving to Mexico, the cost of living in Mexico, and much more!

My First Time in Tlaquepaque and a New House!
Thank you for sharing, I enjoy your videos, especially to see how you manage with the two larger dogs. I have 4 Cane Corso (Italian Mastiffs) and Pitbull. I'm considering retiring in Mexico and would be looking for a place like the one you are living in now, with the large yard. Please continue doing these videos so we can see beautiful Mexico from your lens and point of view. Also, thank you for feeding the pups. I wonder if a dewormer may help her to gain some weight, too.
Bad move! When you get 🤮 real sick, the hospitals want money upfront to treat you😮ohhh break a bone good 🤞 luck, the metals they use to fix your bones will make you really 🤮 sick or worst😮 The grass is not greener in Mexico 😊 Trump MAGA
You have such an incredible story
But you’re white. Do black expatriates receive similar respectful treatment?
My wife and I moved to Mexico in 2021 and have no intentions of moving back to the us. There are so many reasons to love Mexico. Number one is the people. Mexicans are the warmest happiest people on earth.
Thank your for being an inspiration of what can happen when you follow your heart! ❤
Lake is back up in november

Well said words. Couldn’t agree more with you. I also love Morelia and Pátzcuaro etc. But I always forget to ask are you driving with your Oregon plates on your car?
Yes, I am. You don't see many Oregon plates here, or Lexus for that matter, but no one stares or makes any kind of issue of it.
@ Thks for quick response. Always thought that was the almost impossible thing to do and easier just to buy a car in Mexico. But then how does one get all their belongings there without driving there. I would love to drive there so I can load up a lot of tools and etc. I’ll think about it. Lot of paperwork for that and a time frame??
Tuck your dog in with a little blanket and favorite toy!
I look forward to seeing your videos because I see the genuineness which inspires me to get ready for a move.
Thank you, that means a lot to me :)
I'm so happy to know that Patzcuaro is your favorite. My true love and I met there 38 years ago. My plan is to move there in the next few/several months. I'll keep you updated and I hope I can meet you IRL. You inspire.
I can't say Patzcuaro is my favorite because I have so much more to see! It's definitely at the top of the list though. I hope you and your true love have a wonderful time :)
Did you speak Spanish before moving
No, and even after 8 months I'd still call myself an advanced beginner! It's good for the brain to learn though, and I'm working on it.
You have a very good attitude, all will work out with your new start.
Wow your description of the tension here in the US is so right on, sadly.
Very well done video! I have temp residency but haven’t sold my house yet and made the move to Mx. Plan to do so in 2025 for sure. The animal welfare issue is the hardest one for me, but it is changing so hopefully will keep improving. For high histamine are you also reducing high histamine foods? It will help with symptoms. Take care and Viva México 🇲🇽
Thanks for the tip, I will look into that. Fortunately I don't often see animals neglected or mistreated here Viva Mexico!
Where I live in the USA, a southern city of 500K, there is a proposed project to build a pedestrian/bicycle suspension bridge over a busy expressway, thereby connecting two parts of town. The reaction in social media has been scathingly negative and completely cynical, which sadly I find to be all too typical. Those who fashion themselves as 'patriots' seem to actually like very little about this great country. My experience after several trips to Mexico is that the people, in general, are not cynical and in fact are quite the opposite. The Mexican people seem proud and optimistic, and believe that strong communities make all things possible. As Mora Margaret points out, their public life is enviable. When people ask what it is that attracts me to Mexico, my response is "I just love being there". I don't know how to explain it other than that.
I think you summed it up very well. We are all so tired of cynicism in our everyday lives. I love the U.S. so much and I think it's the greatest country for so many reasons, but it's having a hard time right now.
Also if you get a second explain to your dogs that you have a new subscriber who also has two puppy dogs of his own!
Good afternoon🐶🐶 that's a good video, I'm glad you're being treated so well, that's pretty brave of you traveling to a new country with your two dogs
Thank you, it's been a good adventure so far!
I go down to the Yucatán every year. The food is amazing and the locals I have encountered have all been kind.
God bless you, they don't pay you nurses for what you're really worth, but they will pay an entertainer ( actor, sport athlete) a whole lot more. You made a choice for yourself and what's right for you.
There are good and bad things to happen everywhere, but if you're blessed, and don't have to go to the check points too often or look overly too well off (flaunting wealth), they'll leave you alone.
If you are a cyclist, cross San MIguel off your list right now. The city is choked with cars, trucks and four wheelers
Patzcuaro is a high crime area.😮
Most people in the United States don’t even realize the hum of the tension that is in their environment until they move or spend some time abroad, and they realize that hum of the tension isn’t there. I know what you mean, but I don’t think everybody who lives in the United States knows what you mean unless they have spent some time outside the country.
Also there are so many “rules” in the United States such as how women over 50 should dress, or what time of year it’s appropriate to wear white or when you are supposed to decorate for Christmas…it’s exhausting.
I agree. It's like the air you breath and you just don't know till it's gone.
You did the right thing by feeding those dogs. I live in Costa Rica and there are so many homeless animals in the streets and it’s really hard to watch. I’ve helped a few animal organizations by being a foster family for some dogs and cats for just a short time and even for a long time because no one else wanted them. Obviously some of them have become mine because we couldn’t find homes. We do what we can, even if we just give them food for one day. We can’t save them all. It’s hard.
It is tough, but it's great you've helped so many!
You should go to Spanish language school!
Thank you for sharing, I hope to move to Mexico one day. I am a daughter of Mexican immigrants. Working at an inner city school I have similar feelings. My parents came to the US for more opportunities but now I long for the peace, humaness and warmth of Mexico.
It's a wonderful country and I hope you get here too!
I understand and I would feed them as well.
She taking a must needed break. But she can come home to America and be happy.
Not to mention how the lakes are polluted..live I the US. I’d love to live in Mexico but it looks bad.
I so agree with you. I find the most difficult thing about living in Mexico is the poor treatment of animals. The best you could do for the female dog before you ever leave, is to get her sterilized. I love your videos. I know you didn't love Ajijic, but we've decided to leave the coast and try that area out. Lots of nice hiking in Patzcauro and it seems also in the Lake Chapala area. Thanks for such great videos of your travels
Gracias. I hope you have a wonderful time in Ajijic! I don't think I can live at the coast full time so it's great there are so many options :)
Hi Mora. I’m a hospice nurse and I’m ready to follow in your shoes. Thank you so much for all that you share. I feel like you are my soul sister because I feel all the same things and it’s unexplainable. You take away my fear. Please feel better soon!❤
It's wonderful to meet soul sister who feels the same way! Thank you for the kind words.
Oh Mora, whar a loevly video! I hope you are feeling better. As a now single woman with a sweet GSD, planning a move to Mexico, I am inspired by your journey! Thank you for sharing!
I'm so glad this video inspired you! It's good to know there are others thinking of Mexico.
I've traveled a lot of the world and the animal abuse is among the top of the list of hardest things to witness and accept. I keep saying that I think my next chapter involves an off-grid animal sanctuary (mostly dogs), maybe in Mexico (live in CA now). I appreciate your travels and sharing your experiences. Look forward to seeing where you land. And...if you're ever up for a caravan trip (me and my dog), perhaps we could meet for a coffee to see if we'd make good travel buddies. It's a bit rare to find like-minded travelers with dogs in our age range.
What a great idea! The meetup and the animal sanctuary!
What is the prevailing attitude about our new president promising to mass deport undocumented people from the US?
I don't talk about it much. I did ask that very question to my taxi driver to the airport the other day. I was surprised to hear him support Trump, though he didn't mention the deport plan. People here seem very frustrated with their own government and feel it's headed too far left. But like I said, I don't ask about it much.
@MoraMargaret I am considering visiting but would wait until after things calm down. Maybe I won't have to wait. I enjoy your videos
I have been just binging your vids!!! Lolololololol going to Los algodones in a week for dental. I want to travel in Mexico too!!!! I don’t want to live permanently there because I have 3 kids here in Indiana/Ky. And 4 grandchildren. I can’t live without them. However, I can travel awhile. 😅 I also was a nurse for many years. I was so unhappy. The stress. The bureaucracy is maddening!!!! Happy trails and much love!!!!!!❤
I hear you! I'm glad you have family you want to be close to. Hope you can have the best of both worlds and travel back and forth!
I absolutely love your integrity! Thk you. I won’t be going here.
Oh!!! I just read to avoid Michoacán! Supposed to be a dangerous area? Idk. I’m leaving for Los Algodones in about a week. I’m getting implants. I have been there twice. I wasn’t afraid at all.
I've heard of that dentistry capital! Yes Michoacan is on the "do not travel" list but I haven't had any problems.
I really appreciate your assessment. Thank you.
Fellow Oregonian, dog lover, and fruit fanatic here! I’m looking to relocate to Mexico after getting my TEFL certification in Guadalajara next May. I did a scouting trip to the East Cape of BCS in April and I 100% know what you mean by that intangible lack of “tension”. I remember driving around thinking, “Where is all the aggression? Divisive politics? Distrust of strangers and neighbors?” Didn’t realize how oppressively it weighed on me and dictated my life until it was absent. Appreciate your candor, and hope the allergies are better!
“Where is all the aggression? Divisive politics? Distrust of strangers and neighbors?” Exactly! It's not like that here. Sounds like you have a good plan for moving and I wish you the best!
Fortunately there are outposts in the US that are easy to live in. Thankfully I happen to live in one of them. If you happened to see the movie "Ground Hog Day", that's actually my small town. We really do sit on the benches or on a blanket on the lawn in the lovely city square on a summer evening and listen to the city band in the bandstand while eating ice cream served by the lady's auxiliary in the Spring House. 😁 That said, I am hiding out here as a lot of the culture and society in the US is getting surly and down right mean. Outside of my rural county I am not terribly comfortable. I often dream of moving to a quieter country but need to stay close to high level medical care. I envy you your little slice of heaven. Mine is smaller but I think both serve their purpose admirably. Thanks for that wonderful video. Enjoy your new life. You are truly blessed. Give the doggies a hug for me.
I will! Thanks for your comment. It's so interesting to hear others' point of view. What a great place you live in!
I'd love to hear more! Subscribed
Thank you for feeding the animals . I would have done the same thing.
Beautiful and honest video, thank you! I am fully fluent in Spanish and still sometimes feel the longing to be with “my” people. I was surprised you didn’t mention the consumerism of the US, “Buy Buy Buy!”, as that’s what hits me the most when I visit after 2.5 years living in Mexico. Another enormous downside to Mexico for me is the massive littering and contamination of water sources. Really hard to live with that!☹️ I find your videos very enjoyable and real, honest. Very happy for you! Keep up the Spanish learning, it will come…❤️🇲🇽❤️🇲🇽❤️
Muchas gracias! Good point about the consumerism, you are so right! And the water pollution too. But the last time I was in a big city in the States was Portland, when I went to the Mexican embassy for residency visa, and it was really gross. It far surpassed the visible contamination I've found anywhere in Mexico so far. Thanks for the language encouragement!
I can't handle animal abuse at all. Love your channel young lady.
You're so awesome Mora. I'm looking for a wife beautiful. I have my own money just saying. I am a combat veteran / helicopter mechanic / custom Carpenter, now retired. I'm 57 want my number?
You sound wonderful. You should look for a woman who wants to be married, there are MANY out there!
@MoraMargaret I wasn't 100% serious but I was hoping to get your attention. I would love to shoot the breeze with you though. Would you like a pen pal? Everything I said was truthful as far as occupations I would love to shoot the breeze with you.

I live in Mexico in beautiful Ensenada part time of the year and California and love it
Really enjoyed this one. Thanks. What did you do with your lovely dogs when you went to the US?
Left with friends on the property. I should have mentioned that in the video :)
Regarding the street dogs... In mexico, the peps do not sterilize animals the same as in the north..... They do not sterilize the humans either....as is done in the north. In mexico, One can notice that there are very few homeless peps & yet a high number of street dogs... Whereas in the state, there is a high number of street people & a low number of street dogs. Every culture has their priorities.
