- @KeishaBeTraveling I am on a 3 month adventure around Mexico. It is my first week in Merida Mexico after living in Playa del Carmen for a year. The street of Merida are super lonely so come with me as I do a walking tour of the city center, join a black owned fitness studio and do a hop on hop off bus tour with Turibus to get familiar with the city.

Haven't finished watching any of your vids yet, but I hit 'SUBSCRIBE' on the sole basis of you speaking Spanish! I'm a novice learner and am encouraged by those who speak and/or make the effort to learn. Good on you, it's inspiring!
Thanks so much love! I am so happy you are learning and feeling inspired. Keep practicing and you’ll get there. It is so important to learn the language to be able to communicate with the locals. I started this vlog to be able to show some of those conversations and experiences with local Mexicans. I get to have a completely different experience and make tons of Mexican friends because I speak Spanish. It’s so helpful
We attempted to speak Spanish (thanks mostly to Duolingo) during our last trip to Central MX. Despite hearing about all the extranjeros in parts of GTO, nearly all of our interactions were in Spanish. We saw tourists but most seemed to be from other parts of MX.
People were extremely patient with us, and we're SO very grateful. I think and learned that next time... we need to be a bit more learned on Mariachi standards. A couple times we were approached and asked to make a song request... and we were caught off-guard and had to apologize and ay we are traveling and not familiar yet.
Getting there, un poco a un poco!
@@keikofay9804 Good for you for trying and also for continuing to learn with Duolingo. You are so right. In Central Mexico, you will mostly hear Spanish and that was similar to my experience in CDMX. A lot of the Mexicans I come across are visiting from other parts of Mexico as well. I’m so glad that people have been patient especially when they notice your efforts. Keep practicing and you’ll continue to get better the more you do it. Poco a poco 💕
Merida is awesome. 21st safest city in the world in 2019. I am from Canada and live in Merida and feel much safer here versus back home in Canada.
That’s so cool! I didn’t know it was ranked 21st in the world. I’m glad you are enjoying it. I’ve been living in Playa del Carmen for the last year and def feel much safer in Mexico than in the US too. In Playa, it I feel like I live on the Vegas strip so it felt weird seeing empty blocks and walking around late at night by myself in some parts of Merida without seeing people for blocks and blocks.
Thanks for taking us along with you to Merida. I am excited about your next episode.
@@cheryldurham6021 No problem! Thanks for coming along for the journey. So glad you are enjoying it.
🙏🙏
Thank you for the support.
Your Spanish is great.
Thank you 😊😊
Me gusta tus videos 📹 this was great!!! I'm on the edge of my seat. I appreciate you sharing the dance part, Black woman owned spot, I had no clue. Love that you made some amigas. Looking forward to this mini❤series. You are so brave 🎉
Live beautiful as you are!!!❤
Muchas gracias 💖 I'm so glad you are enjoying it and yessss a Black woman owned fitness studio. I was so hyped when I found it. They have the best classes. I'm going to share some more soon. I even did a cool West African dance class there. I have two more Merida episodes coming soon.
Glad you had a great photo by that sign and people were getting out of your way!
Thanks girl! Me too. It was a struggle but I’m glad my photo came out great
Let me go work on my Spanish real quick
Si vamos cuz! You might have to come to real Mexico 😭😭
Te felicito hablas muy bien el Español 🎉❤
Muchas gracias. Me pone feliz tu mensaje 😊😊
Thanks for sharing! I just got back from Belize last week, and we're already thinking about our next vacation. Me gustaría visitar Merida algun día.
No hay de que. I'm glad you are enjoying it. The colonial architecture in Merida is super amazing. It might be a good stop to add if you are visiting Chitzen Itza in the Yucatan. How was Belize? It's been on my list forever.
I posted part 3 of my Merida vlog. That one shows a lot of the weekend activities, night life is like. Check it out.
Great introductory video to Merida. Looking forward to the next one. Content is on point!
Heading to Playa next month for my bday. Take care and stay safe
Thanks for your feedack. I am super excited to share more of my time in Merida soon. I hope you have a blast in Playa. It is such a magical place.
