I'm Australian. Lived in Mexico for a year in 2022. Going back in January 2024 to live. Loved it. Was in Bucerias, made many friends and was very safe. Also visited Mexico City and Guadalajara. Also very safe. Go where you're treated best 😃
2 Canadians 🇨🇦 living in Mexico 🇲🇽 and loving it. 🙏
What's Bucerias like? Why did you choose that place in particular?
Curious, anyone bring children???
I will be in PV end of year to mid Jan & hope to visit Bucerias. I have fallen in love with Mexico. I miss it every time I leave.
The honest truth is that Mexicans are extremely friendly with foreigners. Plus you make friends there without even trying, even if you’re an introvert. 😂
As a Canadian, who lives in Mexico, I can confirm that Mexicans ARE indeed nicer!
How hard is it to get a job in Mexico as a born Canadian?
@@camzclipz3883. If you speak Spanish you could get a job in the tourist area and make great money.

I’m female, 70, single didn’t know anyone in Mexico and moved there alone. Rented studio apt in typical Mexican hood for $4,500 pesos $225 usd and always feel safe. I’m in Puerto Vallarta since September 2022😎
Welcome to mexico. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
YOu are my hero. Im about to do the same thing!!!! Thanks for the inspiration. I was getting the wobbles. But. This video and your comment inspired me!
I visited Puerto Vallarta in 2022-Sep and was infected with shigella bacteria probably due to answering "Si' when my waiter asked if I wanted ice in my coca-cola. It was a gawd-awful and embarrassing experience. I've have heard never eat raw vegetables, never eat anything washed with tap water and never eat food not thoroughly cooked.

I've been living in Mexico for two years now. My wife is a Mexican citizen and I'm from Reno, Nevada. We've never been victimized by ANY crime. The people, culture, architecture, the food, cost of living and the lower levels of stress makes Mexico more attractive to live. I agree that most large cities in the states are more dangerous than in Mexico. As in most places, if you're aware of your surroundings, mind your own business, and don't get involved with the wrong people, you're fine...
Exactly, es peligroso si te involucras con malas personas pero mientras seas una persona normal y no le hagas daño a nadie nada te pasara.
Absolutely true. ! 👍💯
I live in BCS, have dual citizenship and am scared when I go to the US. I live here by myself - a widow - and feel safer in Mexico than the US.
As an American I feel the opposite when I visit BCS. Having the gas station attendant rip me off right before I leave is always a fun send off too.

You are correct. We have lived in Mexico for 16 years and have found it to be very safe!
Es porque no has estado en territorio peligroso, donde el crimen organizado y los cárteles literalmente son el gobierno. Hay lugares donde hay toques de queda, una cosa es vivir en México como turista y otra como mexicano.

In other words America is lying about the safety of their own cities, while simultaneously telling people NOT to leave these dangerous Urban city centers so that they can keep their money there And deal with the inflation AND a lower living standard?

@@rodiculous9464 I used to live in NYC. Believe me I know. The big blue cities are a Sh*thole nowadays. And then once I heard AOC's "green new deal", I was like: "Oh hell no! Time to move." 😆👎🗽
Not only are politicians, etc. doing nothing about the problems (they created and/ or are all but, ignoring...) but they are intentionally, exacerbating them. (And... it's only, accelerating...) It's similar to the reason the southern border is "wide open..." and the border wall is going up in say Texas... to later "keep the tax and debt slaves IN..." once the SHTF!) The US (and the West, plus) hasn't had a "replacement birthrate," in decades... since around 1970ish.
@@rodiculous9464 and be bored AF in red city/suburb 😂 US cities & suburbs in general are way overrated
Lived in mexico for half a year in 2022 and let me tell you, I personally felt safer there than I've ever felt than im USA or Canada. In Mexico the people are genuine, warm and very friendly. Media only shows the negatives sadly. In Mexico I don't fear some lunatic with mental disorders is going to harm me unlike in the other mentioned countries. Am looking forward to returning there to live again, absolutely amazing place to live in most aspects especially socially and safety.
You felt safe because you were there as some kind of a tourist with little understanding of what was going on around you. That you feel safe does not means the country is safe. It might mean that you are an ignorant tourist though
Sure is a whole lot "I feel this I feel that" in the comments. In America is don't have to FEEL anything, I KNOW I am safe, you wanna know why? The 20 + 1 rounds of 9mm +p critical duty on my hip. Until you can do that in your precious cartel land you ain't safe regardless of how your fees fees are telling you boo boo
@@spacecash9721 Weed is practically legal here and they will not throw you in jail for just anything. Last night (Friday) at about 9pm I walked over a half mile by myself to a taco place that stays busy with a crowd until 1 to 2am. I ate there and hung out for a bit and had some laughs with a bunch of locals who invited me to sit at their table and tried to help me with my Spanish. I ended up walking back home a little past 11:00pm. The pretty senioritas seem to like my blond hair and hazel eyes! I do this regularly and my spidey senses have never once tingled. Every where I go the people are friendly and helpful. It's a family culture here where you will see whole families with kids, Grandma and Grandpa in tow going out to the Plazas until late at night for socializing, eating tacos and dancing while listening to some really good foreign and local bands.
@@rodiculous9464 if you need a gun at all times to feel safe then you’re not safe.
There were plenty of armed people in the Allen Texas mass shooting who did nothing to prevent someone with an AR
@@quantumchad These people on this page supporting this half truth video are stupid AF.... Yes, you are 100% correct. There are places in Mexico that are relatively safe but other places in Mexico are extremely dangerous. For example, when 700 or so armed cartel members pushed back the Mexican police and can claim victory, that shows the country is unstable. Also, the missing 63 students or the missing girls in the north and involved police? lmaooo Or the nature of the violence committed by cartel members, is on a whole new level of insane.... Not to mention China is running Huawei products, Chinese endorsed vaccines, mass produced "indigenous" products for street vendors ETC. lmaoooo these people are misinformed fools.
The funny thing is that most Mexicans hardly ever or just entirely never encounter any sort of Cartel violence or presence. With the country being as massive as it is & having a population of 133 Million people it’s rare you’ll ever encounter any sort of Cartel activity unless you actively look for it
Just because you're not smart enough to spot a cartel member means doesn't mean they aren't there.
@@rodiculous9464 I don't think anyone is smart enough, it's really hard to distinguish them, they know how to hide in society. There are some small towns where they're literally in pickup trucks with weapons and shit but for the most part you won't even notice them. And this is from someone who lives in one of the "most dangerous" states of Mexico.
@@rodiculous9464 ya you never been to mexico and it shows lmao
@@rodiculous9464 Orrrr, simply because your ignorance isn't allowing you to see clearly. It is hard to spot cartels/cartel activity because they don't mess with you unless you mess with them. He who seeks finds. 🙄
@@solcaradi cartel presence is more common than expected. I guess most hard drugger sellers in almost all clubs in mexico have some connections with cartel members, perhaps really low rank members tho.
Im moving my family to Mexico this December. Can't wait! Love the Mexican people and culture!
Just remember that there is good and bad people everywhere be careful the first months until you learn enough about the culture, the people and what to avoid
we apprecciate it
Love you too carnal!
Why will you migrate to México?
@@TheIronMax better quality of life. Great food...great people, etc. My mom and younger sister have been living in Mexico for years....near Guadalajara.
I spent 2 weeks n Merida recently, to stay with my friend who lives there. She had to work so I was out and about on foot, alone, sometimes after dark and always felt safe. Police everywhere and when I was looking at my phone map as I walked past a policeman, he asked if I needed help. There’s a smaller town nearby, Valladolid, that I want to research for livability.
Mérida is one of the safest cities in México. The reason is because is kind of a neutral ground for cartels. Some cartel´s families live there, so they have a treaty to avoid doing crime there, so everyone´s family can live pacefuly.
Fellow Mexican here! 🙋🏻♀️ Thank you for making this video. My entire family both applauds and thanks you for voicing your well informed opinion. 👏👏👏❤️❤️
Yo cuidaría lo que dices. Que casualidad que ahora nos invaden los extranjeros. A mí me parece más una segunda colonización. Saquen a los mexicanos porque ahora queremos lo que ellos tienen.
Im from Acapulco, sadly is on the top lists of dangerous places in MX. But its just like they mention, we know where not to go, what not to be doing, its called common sense. And yet being on top of the most dangerous cities, there is no mass shootings in public areas, schools, malls etc.
No mass shootings in schools yet still 100x more murders per capita than the most dangerous place in the US
I had a friend held at gun point and robbed of his camera equipment by a taxi driver in Acapulco a couple of years ago.
acapulco diamante is very fine!

@@eduardoeliascanela7588 were they black?
I have traveled all over Mexico the part 30 years and now live there for the past 3 years and never felt unsafe - except a little the first time I was shaken down for a bribe by a traffic cop. Like Andrew said if you stay in nicer areas of any city and have some street smarts you can travel almost anywhere just as you would in visiting places in the US. The constant narrative from the US that Mexico is unsafe does seem to me to be a strategic action by the US government to prevent more US citizens from realizing they could live a better quality life in Mexico if they come with some stable source of middle class income.
Why are they all flooding over the border then if Mexico is so great 😂 we can't keep them out they flood over like locusts

@@elmachete7465 no seas celosa 😂😂😂
Ni tanto, mucha gente (sobre todo los extrangeros como el gringo este) cometen el mismo error y es que creen que si el crimen esta demasiado bajo más de lo normal, entonces es buena señal, y no, en toda sociedad estable la taza de crimen es baja pero no baja al punto de que sea casi a zero, bueno lugares como jalisco tienen esta peculiaridad el crimen es bajo precisamente porque una de estas organizaciones indeseables (la de cuatro letras), es dueño prácticamente de la ciudad (y muy posiblemente del estado entero) y te preguntaras porque el narco esta interesado en bajar el crimen en las zonas qué controla? Precisamente por eso, no quieren competencia, los rateros, violines, y demás son competencia, lo mismo con los lugares turísticos los criminales saben la importancia que tiene el turismo en este país y no se van a meter en eso, por eso es que no "ves nada" pero detrás del telón pasan toda clase de atrocidades qué no puedo mencionar, y además el "güero" este habla desde su perspectiva de gringo qué tiene su capital en dólares y que evidentemente México al ser más barato que EE.UU. Le conviene más pues claro, en EE.UU era un cualquiera y aca es clase media o media alta.

I moved to Merida, Mx from Phoenix, AZ 9 months ago and it’s the safest city I have ever lived in. Dig your show. I’m glad you are still personally making vids. You should feel proud for sticking it out and sticking with what works! Good Job
Mérida is one of the safest cities in México. The reason is because is kind of a neutral ground for cartels. Some cartel´s families live there, so they have a treaty to avoid doing crime there, so everyone´s family can live pacefuly.
Yes I am currently in mexico, I feel safer here than any American city I lived, I lived in Tulum, playa del Carmen, Merida and Mexico city, and never seen a crime in the 5 years I lived here, yes crime happen but in areas where you are not suppose to go, same like living in Manhattan and going to a war torn city like Bronx, you should not be going there if you live in Manhattan
I’m with you on that. It’s Mérida for me and I feel so much safer there because it is safer than where I am from in the US. I’ll have to see if I can find the statistic, but in years past Mérida has been touted as the second safest city in the Americas. I can’t wait to start living there full-time.
2 Canadians 🇨🇦 living in Merida here. Feeling happy and blessed to call Mexico home.
We just returned from a weekend getaway from Playa Del Carmen & Cozumel. It's been a while since we visited the island. We love the Caribbean but it's touristy. But we'll likely settle in the area eventually. 😊 That's the Mexico we fell in love with. 12 years of Holidaying here, now we call it home. ❤
Take care friends🙏
I was in Tulum for 8 days and 5 friends got robbed.
@@scotttaylor4341 Ive been 3 months traveling around Riviera Maya, I didn't have any problem but in Tulum there are too many shootings between drug dealers lately and you could get killed, I wasn't feeling safe there and hotels are also so overpriced. I know that there are shootings in USA everyday but Tulum is not for me
Tulum has changed. Not the safest place. Merida, on the other hand, is very safe. Huge difference. It depends all where you go.
As a Mexican capitalist nomad I don't really feel safe in Chicago and my sister also feels really unsafe un San Francisco. We are going back to our beautiful Puerto Vallarta in a month. And its not just the physical violence but the verbal violence and hate in the air that really makes me feel bad about coming here to the USA.
That is why people are moving from those extreme liberal cities to either other countries or safer republican states
Yup
I live in Mexico City much to the shock and dismay of some former acquaintances in the US, and in terms of being the victim of violence the organized crime factions tend to leave civilians alone. Why? Because if an innocent is victimized they know that the police are going to have to do their phony-baloney jobs and arrest somebody.
Yes there are dangerous parts of the city, and I deal with them by not dealing with them, ie avoiding them. And as for Mexico doing something about the cartels, Americans can also do something about the cartels by not buying drugs
Ok.. I agree with your comment about the police not doing their jobs .. I’ve been there 8 times for filing a complaint against a contractor and they haven’t left the building yet to look for him .. they tell you they will but do NOTHING
Hahahaha hasta crees que la policía va a hacer algo si atacan a un inocente, atacan inocentes diario y aún no se hace mucho hahahahahaha
Yes I would love to hear and see more about Mexico!! 🇲🇽
We have been here for almost 2 years and love it. Many many foreigners here everywhere we have lived, our neighbors are either from the USA or Canada. Take care friend.

yes mexico definitely safer, I am currently in playa del Carmen an di am from NY, but areas like Merida, playa, Roma Norte and palanco, safer than any USA city, been here 4 slyears since pandemic I moved, lived all over never seen not even a petty crime, not even fighting, you would only see that if you go to areas where locals are not even going, like living in Manhattan and going to the Bronx, and Americans love to go to bad areas to buy drugs,

Pufff hahaha, México más seguro que el Reino Unido no lo creo, mira como mexicano no es querer darle una mala percepción de mi país pero de las zonas seguras que hablan son sólo el 20 o 30 porciento del país y el resto sí es peligroso, una cosa es estar en México como turista o extranjero y otra muy diferente es como mexicano.
@@leonardobernalhernandez9454 Tampoco exageres amigo.
The US is experiencing a major mental health crisis. The danger here isn’t so much the criminals (if you don’t get involved with criminal activity, the odds are low), but with the average civilian being so on edge that anything can erupt at any time.
So many incidents or road rage and senseless violence because of increased tensions are erupting. Not just in cities but small towns too.
In so called 3rd world countries, the average citizen is kinder and more respectful than in the US. As long as you avoid criminal activity, you’ll be fine.
But in the US any kid with a temper could get a gun and shoot you at anytime because they’re having a bad day. The American dream is sadly over😢
Very deplorable but you're absolutely right
En parte estás en lo correcto y en parte no, aquí en México muchas veces aunque no busques la violencia, la violencia te encuentra. Y eso de que cualquier persona que pueda perder la cabeza, tomé un arma y te mate, aquí también es posible, aunque en Estados Unidos no tiene tanta regulación en cuestión de las armas, en México también es muy facil conseguirlas, y más fácil de lo que crees, aunque no sea de manera legal, ya que el único que puede vender armas de fuego legalmente es el gobierno pero conseguirla de manera ilegal es muy fácil, sólo hace falta conocer a la persona correcta y listo, y mucha gente con la que te topas puede estar armada e incluso pertenecer a el crimen organizado.
You right in Mexico we tend to say Americans are crazier than u.s
You are 100% correct about everyday citizens being on edge that can lead to anything. This place is a zoo. I’m a combat veteran yet I don’t even feel safe anywhere here. Too many incidents, pretty much any time you go anywhere. Even here in SoCal the racial tensions are through the roof. It’s quite Insane. I lee thinking that with the wages it requires to live in California you would expect more Intelligence, but I find that money doesn’t equal common sense or even brains. This California weather is nice but if you have to be terrified of everyone to include the police, what’s the point. I feel like a prisoner here. Looking to move out of the U.S. I’m finally secure and can live even here in California. I am a naturalized U.S. citizen, born in Mexico and have been to Mexico many times. The common knowledge around here about Mexico is that it is extremely dangerous. Even had our gardener tell my dad not to go to Mexico because it wasn’t safe do to organized crime. No Mexican i know even thinks of going to Mexico. However, one of my close relatives stays there half the year. Haven’t had any issues. This individual is older and would not raise any alarms to anyone. Idk it’s all a mystery.
The President of Mexico also says that there is more freedom and democracy in Mexico than in the United States and he can prove it to you and I support him.
he not wrong, women are getting arrested for abortions, people getting arrest going to the restrooms in usa yall lost freedom many years ago
Hahaha he also said narcos don't control Mexico and that it's safer than the USA. Go read the Mexican news if you can. I spent the last 3 years traveling through Mexico and living like the locals and talking and hanging out with them . These tourist/ expat people live in their own little bubble in Mexico they don't have a clue. Painfully ignorant.
There are so many ways that could be measured and probably pretty subjective, but one thing stands out very much; when it comes to "free market" for ultra small local businesses, Mexico is 100x more "free" than the USA. There are so many small entrepreneurs here that are allowed to pursue their ventures, from people selling wares on the street, to grandmas opening a tiny restaurant with 2-3 tables and one other family member doing the cooking. Concepts that just wouldn't be possible in the US bc of planning departments, "health" inspectors, permits, police harassment, and other monopoly rules big corporate business has put over Americans.
The president of Mexico is a moron
Well i'm mexican and he's liying anyone who dosent follow his ideas is labeled a traitor. Thats not freedom neither democracy, is tyrany
My biggest security concern when in Mexico is my own ignorance. I know when I'm in a sketchy situation in New York or Chicago, and I know how to avoid that. In Mexico I don't yet have enough experience to judge well. And yes, the alarming news stories color my judgement. But my direct experience in Mexico reflects no greater risk that what I routinely experience in the US.
First thing, do not be where you should not be. I am from Queretaro, and we have MANY expats coming here, every day. literally.

I had the same issue in Los Angeles, even the sketchiest parts of Los Angeles look no worse than the middle class suburban parts of LA. I mean it's a suburb in search of a city and it's hard to see where the good neighborhood ends and the bad neighborhood begins.
Great video. I grew up in New Orleans and now live in Los Cabos, MX. Take a wild guess which one is more dangerous?
The big sleazy
What's the good neighborhoods in Cabo?
Why is crime the only concern? Natural disasters can kill you just like a criminal can. Louisiana has hurricanes Mexico has earthquakes. With hurricanes there's a warning. Not so with earthquakes.
Canada: I stayed at a nice new downtown hotel in a decent medium-sized city here in BC. A couple walked into the lobby later in the evening. "Nice night for a walk" I said to them on the elevator. "Yes, but last week a couple of our employees staying here got mugged on the way back." 😳 It is not just the U.S.! Canada is declining rapidly...😬
I actually live in Mexico and work in San Diego. I cross the border from Tijuana to San Diego everyday for work and it is so much better in Tijuana. you don't see half as many homeless people. you don't see homeless tents on the street. I highly encourage people who are tired of the California life to take a residency in Tijuana. My rent is $350 per month and I get paid close to $20 an hour in San Diego I'm practically Rich living in Mexico.
Also prostitution is legal... 😅 My weekends are great
I love Tijuana!!!
In 2022 Tijuana ranked #5 most dangerous city in the world. In 2018 it was #1. Enjoy your stay.
HK FTW!
What about women getting trafficked?
Do you walk over the border or drive? Does the crossing take a long time?
From the perspective of a Mexican that grew up in U.S. and then moved back at 18 and been here for a while I can see both view points of Americans wanting to go to a safer place, but I also see the view from my fellow Mexicans that the increase in gentrification that has already taken place is affecting the average Mexican family in those areas as they are getting more expensive to live there. Everyone has the right to purchase and move where they please but be mindful of the place and culture where you are moving and try not to be self centered about the place you stay, you should also help the communities in ways that can benefit everyone so it doesn’t feel like you are just there because it’s cheaper and can take more resources than others.
This seems like the worst period. especially for investors. Started investing recently when the market prices were a bit high, then boom! I went more than 60% red! Hopefully, the markets will go back up.
It's the market. If you can't be on it on the bad days, you shouldn't be in it at all. BTW, As a beginner, why didn't you research the companies properly or work with a regulated expert? Maybe you were just careless because as a complete beginner too, I have made over 40K gain with my positions in less than 5 months of working with Gary Joe Wilde.
@mackenzie fventes Talking from experience, Gary Joe Wilde has got a much better method than most experts I have come across including Grant. You can make so much profit from a single trade; again, he is regulated & long-established many people including some reputable pros here work with him. In all honesty, wish I had known about him earlier.
@Nim Hermann Run a quick web search about him. He's SEC regulated they aren't permitted to own or operate an Investing video channel.

@@MaxvonHapsburg Ah yes, how could I forget Aguascalientes. Thank you sir!
There's a whole bunch more places in Mexico that are even safer.....The entire state of Tlaxcala for example. Most of the state of Hidalgo. Many parts of Puebla, Campeche, Yucatan, and Tabasco. and so on.
Mexico is really a nice place. Use your head though. Trouble only occurs when you go looking for it. Trouble attracts trouble. If you are aware of your surroundings, work to blend in, follow local advice of where not to go... generally you are safe.
My wife and I have been to Mexico many times (Guadalajara, Jalisco, CDMX, Yucatan, Baja Sur, Rocky Point, and a few others). We have been able to stay safe and have a good time.
Is Puebla,Morelia, and Oaxaca safe? I also like Guadalajara! Mexico sounds like a fun place to live, get residency.
This is the reason why I like your work so much. Because you always think out of the box.
Thank you for defending the image of Mexico. As a European that lives in Spain. I have special emotion for Mexico since I remember. They are very good people.
Great work as usual. Best of luck man. Cheers.
you need to remember that this is coming from a channel that consults with people to move abroad.
I'm a single, older, Australian woman and lived in Mexico for a year in 2022. Going back January 2024 to live. Loved it and felt perfectly safe.
But yet, it's truthful????
Mexico is so beautiful, and there is so much more there than most Americans know. So many safe, affordable, beautiful places. I’ve lived in Mérida- amazing place and other places like the small towns near Mexico City are so charming and perfect weather
@@svensulzmann4282 I agree. Name some to visit. However, Mexico so much cheaper, better food, people very easy to talk to if you know Spanish
As an expat who lives here now I feel safer in Cabo , than I do in Canada where I’m from
I have lived in Canada all my life (77 years). Not sure what part of Canada you lived in but I have always felt safe. Live in the GTA of Toronto. I don’t drive so take buses, subway and GO trains. I have never felt unsafe. Although I do hate our winters. I love Mexico but would never live there because of the crime.
@@mj24672 more crime in Toronto and vancouver than there is in Cabo Mexico. No crackheads, no tent cities, no vehicles smashed, no armed robberies . Canada is a mess
I just moved to Mexico and feel extremely safe.
Vacationed in Mexico in October 2022 for seven days. My wife and I were all over the city in public transportation. Rush hour is congested as hell, we rode the buses and subway where we were packed like sardines. We never felt unsafe, the men in the buses and subway were very gentlemanly giving their seat to my wife and other females, and the city was very clean. Looking forward to going back.
As A kid in the 80's and 90's my family and I deff traveled to the USA. After 9/11. The sweeping changes that occurred in the USA. I would never go to the USA again. After a Bad Experience with there Boarder Guards in 2004 I have no been back. Nor will I. That Country has Fallen into disgrace. There are far safer places in the world.
I keep telling everyone these same points. I’ve traveled all over the world and not because I live in Mexico,but hands down Mexico is the most complete,safe and heartwarming country in the world. Just the food alone will make you not want to leave
5:58 Yes: Costco, Walmart, H.E.B., Chilli's, Cheesecake Factory, Outback, etc etc etc... They're all in Guadalajara (and other Mexican cities). Puerta De Hierro shopping center can be placed in the middle of Beverly Hills, no problem, it has: Prada, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, etc etc. For an American not looking to lose those stores/restaurants, you're good
Soy alemán de origen y tengo 30 años viviendo en México y aquí me quedo. Es un paraíso. ❤
Mexico is not seeing cities vacated like in the US. That tells you something.
What about the tens of millions of Mexicans living in the US illegally because they fled the whole country of Mexico?
What?
What cities are being vacated☠️
Amigo, hay pueblos fantasma en México debido a los cárteles, y hasta el día de hoy ocurre.
I lived in south Texas for all my life (36 years) and this year I moved to Monterrey, Mexico. I truly love it! My life has changed for the best. I live much better, healthier and simply more happy.
After traveling the world for the past 4 years i couldn't help noticing how little Americans travel compared to people from other nations. It makes perfect sense; so many Americans live in their own bubble, never leaving the country, and the news and politics aren't helping either.
The USA is huge. Most Americans don't need to travel to other countries as we have a geographically diverse country so you can see a bit of everything. I love how people think you have to travel to other countries to experience different culture.
I travel to north California, and it's like another state ! Wyoming is beautiful and peaceful. You can drink tap water and flush toilets . 😊
Going to live in an expat bubble in the top 1% in Mexico is even more of a bubble than living in the US. Americans are comparing their lives as top 1% expats in a bubble in a culture they do not understand and a society they are not a part of and do not know anything about, with their lives back in middle class America where they know all about all the problems happening all over the US all of the time
@@messagesystem333 hilarious! I hope you're kidding...
Any country that doesn't let me carry a gun is a country I don't care to visit or give my money to, because that means they don't respect my basic human right of self determination. I used to live in a country like that, it was called the soviet union. I'll stick to America thanks until other countries start treating people like people and not subjects
My wife and I live in Mexico. We moved from the US and feel much safer here. We are on the East coast south of Cancun.
Very informative. I would love to see more information on safe cities in Mexico.
Stay tuned.
Merida, San Miguel Allende, Guanajuato, León Guanajuato, are some of the most beautiful places and safest cities, but there are so many more. 😊there are many towns in Puebla
@@rocdeca77 CHIAPAS come on🙄
@@rocdeca77 What cities/places in Mexico are warm but not very humid? What about towns close to the beach? Thanks! ❤👍🏽
@@poppylove3673 the closer you get to the equator the more humid, I’m from central Mexico, Michoacán and there are so many towns that are beautiful and safe like Morelia, Pátzcuaro, Quiroga and so many more and the humidity is very low!
I felt 💯 much safer in Mexico than in the US. It’s hard to believe but it is true. Sad.
You said it very well Andrew! I live in Tijuana, Mexico and the biggest advice I can give someone is to choose wisely what part of town you live in. If you work in the US you can easily get a spot in the nice parts of town or city so you're pretty much good to go.
I used to live in a nasty part of town and even had a very dangerous situations with a home invasion. (Rent was $200 a month for a 3 bedroom house but it was in the hood)
Long story short. I was able to get an apt for $700 that's basically 2 blocks from these huge 2K month condo buildings with everything good close at walking distance and even a police vehicle almost in front of my spot the majority of the day. It's hard to descibe it but it's an overwhelming feeling of safety. So say you don't get a spot in the Big Condo, but if you go a couple of blocks from there you can get a good deal and still get the safety benefits of living in a nice area.
I've felt safer in TJ te anywhere
Do you mind me asking you what areas in Tijuana are the safest?
Downtown Los Angeles is better 😉👌
@@anteaterle In terms of safest you can't go wrong with:
-Colonia Chapultepec,
-Hipodromo,
-Burocrata Hipodromo (which is basically Hipodromo but up the hill),
-Colinas de Aguacaliente (make sure you stick to the side that faces Hipodromo and Blvd Aguacaliente, Because there is a side that faces Col. Aguaje de la tuja and Periferico
@@davidponce1491 thank you so much
Hola friend 2 Canadians here, that left Canada Oct 15 2021 for Mexico. We feel very safe everywhere we have traveled thus far in Mexico. Most are just hard working Catholics that value family values. We love it here, sure it's not perfect but its far better than Canada. We will be moving around a fair bit, no desire to go anywhere near the US border. We ae currently in Merida Yucatan. Soon to be moving, Its bloody hot here haha esp. May and June. North end Merida is just like any big city in the USA. They have everything here that you could need or want. Its' not really all that Cheap sure some things are cheaper than Canada but not everything. great vid guys love your channel.
Cheers from 2 Canucks living in Mexico. ✌🏽
I love Merida, but hoo-boy is it hot!
@@p.c.h.6721 agreed we love this area, for all what you just said and more. Our plan is to move around a fair bit. Come Oct, we will be changing states. So blessed to call Mexico home. Take care friends. 🙏🏽
@@BillDyszel Si esp now thank god for pools and AC haha take care friend.
@@p.c.h.6721 Our plan is to move every year and really explore Mexico. We've already done a fair bit of traveling around already.
We are home and have everything you would have including our own car we purchased here new. ✌️🙏
God bless you and your family.🙏
Went to Guadalajara last year. There's a LOT of police/military presence everywhere. At first it feels a bit weird, but overall I didn't feel unsafe in the 11 days I was there. Going back again later this year
They use Police uniforms and know everything about you
As a Mexican I can confirm that he really knows Mexico. It's interesting that some Americans feel this information as hating America, I just felt it as a respectful narration of his knowledge of my country. He does compare tough statistics though.
Don’t forget that there is a political and financial reason for United States to call Mexico “unsafe”. Look at emigration, poor flow north and wealthy flow south, and politicians noticed, haven’t they?
@@Sheema777 interesting. I also live in Mexico and my experience is just the opposite. But I agree, there is no where on earth that is really safe, is there?
The US politicians don’t want to lose tax revenue as US citizens look to leave and go elsewhere.
@@baronbattles4681 different levels to it. Some parts of Mexico are a warzone just as the cjng victims. It used to be just people in the drug trade but they are exthort avacado farmers now
@@Rays_Bad_Decisions You are absolutely right! Yes, in a spiritual war there are pockets of real evil and danger, aren’t they there? But those can be found worldwide and evildoers are active everywhere including USA and Mexico, aren’t they?
@@baronbattles4681 maybe because you are a fresh off the boat glorified tourist in the honeymoon phase with a shallow understanding of what is going on?
I am from Europe and if I ever went to NYC and got robbed, I would actually blame NYC and it's 3rd world conditions. 😂
Ny city is beyond third world at this point, I moved during the pandemic to mexico, just go google my city over run by illegal immigrants, they getting busses a day from Texas with immigrants, the city is like a horror movie right now
Mm I can agree with this. I blame the system and the city I live in located an hour way from Chicago for the crimes that happened to me
@@odellowe7340 thats what yall clowns get for voting democrat
Being from Mexico, I can tell you the last part of the video is so true. Everyone here knows and understands we live in a dangerous country in general, but as you said, common sense can get you a long way.
And actually, it is becoming more and more common to hear that people are scared to travel to the US due to racism and mass shootings happening every week.
Im german and ive lived in mexico as well for 6 months and going back for good soon!
I moved from Houston to the middle of Mexico 23 years ago. Much better here. Safer too. Cheaper too. I could go on. Moving to Mexico was the best thing I ever did to myself.
Glad you found your place!
My mom is from Jalisco a small village and they are very happy and comfortable. So much that they left their home in the United States.
It cracks me up when I suggest going to Mexico or Belize or other Latin American countries since they offer - BY FAR - the best vacation value vs. Europe and the other party says "The State Department has a travel advisory about going there." I'm like - have you seen the state departments of Germany, France, etc... advice on traveling to the US? You already live in a dangerous place. You're not increasing your risk by going to these other vacation spots.
Can you carry a gun and stand your ground in those other places? Yeah that's what I thought
They don’t need to carry guns and stand your ground over their, cuz those countries are actually more civilized then America.
I live part of the year around Lake Chapala and feel safe. Actually moving to Mexico is basically what we did.
I am 58, born and raised in Mexico. I have lived almost all my life in Mexico, I have never, never ever been assaulted.
I’ve been to Mexico many times with zero problems. I really liked San Miguel De Allende.
YES ! talk about the safest towns in Mexico. Thanks so much. I used to live in Puerto Morelos, and they have had drug gang shootings when that was unheard of in 98' 99' when I lived there. Been to Merida back then but would want to live a little bit outside of town to a smaller area.
Yes, MORE about MEXICO 🇲🇽 Please
In the US, it used to be crime was isolated
now it seems to be random and all over the country in areas you used to not have to worry about
that's what is really sad 😢
Is is nice to hear the opinión of a US citizen who is well informed. Mexico is a great country, theres is a reason why many americans are coming to live in México.
Because is Cheaper and some cities and People look like Spain
7 counties have a travel advisory against the USA . I'm wondering how this is affecting tourism here.
The opposite of that, tourism it’s growing fast:)
2:10 I'm from Mexico and agree with your statement about having a lower chance of being shot in Mexico than in the United States despite all the cartel problems. I admit it Mexico can sometimes be scary but I would be more scared if I was in a place I knew everyone or most people were carrying a gun even if they were sane. Nonetheless, you need to still avoid some places to avoid getting in trouble like in every other country.
I am a Mexican and if you guys wanna come over here well my best advice is to look tough and well never lower your head. Please keep it held high and you will be fine. Also be in very public places but if you decide to go on a trip just be cautious and do not talk to just anybody. GPS at all times though. safe vibes and we will welcome anyone who comes. Much success !
For all the people commenting about how Mexico can be safer than the US: yes, the US did decline and it's still declining to this day. But obviously, if you're making good money on Mexico, while being able to live far from poor regions, it's obvious that you'll be fine. It's the same logic for every country, really...
You right, what if I told you that 90% don't know Cancun
I live in AGUASCALIENTES, a City in central México and is beautiful and one of the safest cities to live in México, good video. Thanks.
Yes, please talk about safer cities in Mexico.
That's exactly what I was thinking I live in Los Angeles and it's very dangerous here I'm seriously thinking about retiring in Mexico part time at least
The one constant though, is that law enforcement is more compromised than in the US. The arrest and conviction rates are nil compared to US. So if you, on the rare situation find yourself in a pickle, you cannot rely on law enforcement, and if you're command of Spanish is low, it is even murkier to deal with the legal arm of the community you are in. As bad a rap as cops get in the US, most take community protection seriously. Most are not compromised. So when you move, don't take US expectations of law enforcement with you.
As a Mexican who has relatives in the U.S. who are too afraid to come visit him, I agree with this video...
For those people interested in Mexico, let me say this. Mexico is not just Cancun, Mexico city, Acapulco or Tijuana. At the same time, Mexico is not only deserts and beaches. Here we have forests, jungles, Manglars, Mountains, lakes with plenty of hot Springs, even at some regions there is snow in winter, etc. Also, Tacos and nachos are only 1% of entire mexican gastronomy (no exagerating. You can get entirely different gartronomy from one region to another). We have plenty of places which are invisible or not enough mentioned about (even between mexicans). Also, we are not just tequila (stereotype), but we have about 10 types of alcoholic drinks which are equal or even more tasty than tequila. Mexico is a place in which every state is like an entirely different world (said by some foreigners which visit us) so don't stay in mere sterotypes.
Spot on, extreme cases are Juarez and Nuevo Laredo
In mx right now for the first time as a nomad. I can figure out what areas to avoid here, can’t figure out what mall, school, church, synagogue, theater, gas station etc is going to be shot up next in America.
Cops might shake a couple people down here sometimes but they generally won’t gun you down like could happen in the usa.
Food is good here too 😉
Pero en México sí han habido casos en los que la policía te dispara, que no se den a conocer es otra cosa.
I’ve lived in Lake Chapala (just south of Guadalajara)for almost 4 years. While there is petty crime, like anywhere in the world, you MUST be street savvy to avoid being a victim. I find it’s quite safe. The problems I’ve had are corrupt police who have extorted money from me twice since I’ve lived here. Supposedly these kinds of police harassment and crime have reduced quite a bit and I have not heard of it happening in quite a while. I think it’s safer in Mexico than many places in the US. Unfortunately, the USD to peso conversion is not in our favor any longer. Just 8 months ago I was getting 20.45 pesos per USD and today it’s 17.80. Home prices and rents are MUCH higher here than other parts of Mexico. Food and consumer goods, like elsewhere in the world, have gone way up too. So while it is less expensive than the states, it is not the bargain it used to be, at least where I live. You cannot buy a decent house or condo here for under $250k US and for the most part, must pay cash because financing is not a thing. Renting a 2 bed/2 bath decent place will cost at least $1000 USD a month, if not quite a bit more. That is the reality of living in an expat destination.
places like ajijic and sma are super expensive imo... cheaper than the us for sure, but I def wouldn't say it's cheap to live.
A 2 bed in Texas will run you 1300 nowadays so that's still a big deal. That's a months groceries in difference
Yes please more Mexico information please!
Mexico is a great place that is booming right now. People are flocking here esp. to the Yucatan Merida area.
@@2GringosOnTheGulf I'm Canadian thinking of doing the same thing. Hoping to spend a month in Mexico next winter to check some areas out!
@@raija9838 That is awesome where are you thinking of going first?
Thank you. We would love to hear more information on Mexican neighborhoods that are safe. Also areas where investing in real estate is most profitable.
I live in Tijuana and work in San Diego I have literally no problems in Tijuana Tijuana is safe it is affordable and I have no problems while I am at home however I do have problems when I m in San Diego. I have seen the police with guns drawn in San Diego I have seen people stabbed other people I have been threatened by people on the trolleys and buses and San Diego it's crazy. Tijuana is such a better City I encourage people who live in San Diego or the southern part of California to think about moving to Baja California and take a residency there.
My wife took some of our college students to Juarez a month or so ago. It was a week after those Americans got killed in a different city. My wife and our students never felt in any danger while in Juarez. You just have to be smart about where you go and what time you go places. It also helps to just not be involved with bad things. If you're into bad things, you increase your chances of running into bad people greatly. That's just true anywhere in the world.
Just necause you felt that way, doesn't make it true
And Juarez is has a very high crime rate, so that tells you how some politicians distort reality to get votes.
@@rodiculous9464 Everyone made it back safe and sound with no issues; therefore, they were as safe as they felt.
Yep, most Mexican cities are safer than Chicago. And Mexicans will like you (assuming you're at least a bit nice, which most people are).
We may think that we may not have so much in common due language differences, but we do have a large amount of cultural similarities. I will tell you a story: I was born in Tijuana (is the city I currently live and it has a strong cultural influence from San Diego due its closeness). I Growth up with spanish as my first language and I was raised by my mother in Mexico in a Mexican family. 7 years ago I've met my biological father for the first time (he's american, and lives in NV, his life ia just around English and common american culture, so my entire communication with him was in English). But I've gotta say, our connection, communication and cultural integration from both sides was efortless, comfortable and very awesome, but we liked the same rock music such as Nirvana, Metallica, Guns N Roses, The cure, etc. We had deep talks about economics, politics, we even talked about christianity (as I am Christian). We had so much in common, we had coffee together, prepared delicious meals and we even watched a Lakers vs Celtics game together. It was so easy for me to fit in during the time we've met.
Hearing that some american folks are considering Mexico as a place to live in is an honor (is not a minor decision, its a big decision, so thats awesome). Don't ever be afraid from what you hear or even if you dont speak the language, or if you dont know anyone in México. We love to make people feel at home and welcomed and i think that's just part of us, in latin-america.
God bless you all and I wish you the best on your plans, and lives.
Thank you!
And 9 states in the USA were part of Mexico in the not so distant past too!!
I have been living in Mexico near Tijuana for four years now and I've never felt unsafe! I live directly on the beach about 20 minutes south of the border. I get San Diego weather year around, live in a three bedroom with infinity pool on the beach and I pay $1700 USD/mo for a fully furnished place (utilities included). Just north of me, in SD, the same place would cost about $10k USD/mo. It was really a no-brainer to leave the U.S.
Tijuana is the number 5th most dangerous city in the world.
Llevenlo a la sanchez 😈
Another great video, thankful for information I wouldn’t know or think of otherwise!
Please put up a list for both 10 safest and unsafest. 😁

But yet it is still data and not your opinion. Hmmm I will take data~
@@thedevbek Room temperature IQ response
My family is from Jalisco Mexico and I go there every year and never heard of anyone innocent being killed, every person that has was involved with organized crime. I can't say its like this everywhere in Mexico but I've never felt in danger in my 37 years of going there.
My neighbors are Mexican and they stated they would never live in Mexico the way it is now.
They're right
Watched this sitting in Mexico! Have travelled all over the country for the last 6 months…way safer here.
The thing is, when you're talking about places like Detroit, Baltimore and Chicago, you're talking about the extreme. 99% of the U.S. is not unsafe like those places.
Let's be realistic, for the avg mexican USA looks like a safe country but not for those rich mexicans, idk whats this recent propaganda of making the US seem to be dangerous when its crime rate it's actually very average compared to the rest of the world, i'm mexican and i know in both countries there has been a violence problem but most of mexico is ghetto compared to the lot of ghettos there are in the US, the real mexico for the average mexican is not san miguell de allende, cancun or polanco, it is ecatepec, nezahualcoyotl, tepito, sanchez taboada tijuana, culiacan, etc , but if you're going to live here pls pay your taxes and take care as you would do anywhere and good luck
I live in a gated community in central Mexico. Great weather , people and safe
In Mexico we don’t have mass school shootings and we can go to the movies or enjoy concerts without worrying about about a random shooter and we don’t have the need to own a gun
Depends where U live, your ethnicity, age, gender, how much you can afford security etc. I would personally trust Mexico a little more.
There are companies that offer similar (if not the same) travel assessments as the President gets. But yeah being a Muslim in Texas is far riskier than being a white person in Kansas. Security can actually make you MORE of a target.
