I've listened to 100 zillion you tube videos about mexico. YOU have the most pleasant voice of of all. True statement. Oh and you have amazing content. Cheers to you.
This was perfect. I had the opportunity to spend a lot of time in San Jose del Cabo as a flight attendant and it is going to be my choice for retirement. Love it. Thanks again for sharing this magical yet quiet place. Ella Croney -Author of Forever Young.
@@yumyumkitty2104 Hi I started working for pacific maritime association at 18 yrs old. Worked for 33 yrs pma has one of the best pension plans. Also bought a home in 77 for 52k paid it off on 83. No house payment or car. Live simple no debt.
Wonderful video! We started coming to Cabo / San Jose last year, have been 9 time since and are buying a condo in SJD. I've watched numerous videos on the are but yours is the best! thank you.
Hello Mariana! Thank you for another great video that highlights a city in Mexico! Ughhh...I think I might be getting information overload as there are sooooo many great cities in Mexico. Originally, I was thinking that we'd favor at least a medium sized city that is not on the radar of many expats. But, this is a video that shows the benefits of a reasonably sized city that does get a fair amount of foreigners. Based on my travels on the Baja, which were all for the Baja desert races, I think I favored La Paz the most (well, I did really like the colonial buildings of Loreto too; but Loreto is a reasonably smaller town). I did stay in San Jose del Cabo on our visits. From what I recall, the ocean was pretty rough. But, that could have also been the weather patterns at that time. I think I'm favoring the mainland of Mexico, but Baja is really nice too. Both you and Brighton demonstrate some really nice Baja options. Ha...so many decisions!! Overall, we want a Centro type location that we can walk to everything. Also, we really want live music options in close proximity; as well as restaurants and food markets. And, museums and such. Safe travels!
We do have some local organic markets :) Fridays at Palmilla and Saturdays a little bit Outside of downtown San Jose. You should definitely check out Todos Santos, a cute little artsy city 1,5 hours from Cabo.
Mariana. Just subscribed as I have been enjoying your videos. We own a place in Baja sur, have temp residency and find your videos very informative, and well done. Muchas gracias
Thank you for the beautiful and informative video. I understand that Mexico's coast gets warm during the summer but wonder if there is a beach location that doesn't have high humidity to go with it. Does such a place exist?
Most of the beaches along the hotel zone in SJD (not Cabo, they are good) are not swimmable, are there busses to the swimmable ones from them or do you need to take a taxi? Thanks
I wish we had stopped here. We drove from Cabo San Lucas to Mexicali (actually all the way to Dallas). We’ve driven almost all of Mexico and Baja California is very different from the rest of Mexico. And a large part of our drive on the peninsula, we didn’t see a single Oxxo 😅 You won’t believe it, but we’re in São Paulo, Brazil right now and there are Oxxo’s all over the place
Hi there, I thought you mentioned something about a link for a relocation tour??? Do you offer those/. did I miss the link? Can you please direct me to it? Thank you so much for your work!! I have just recently found you. I have traveled a bit in Mexico but it is hard to decide where to live - this is all very helpful!
@@MexicoRelocationGuide that is true. Expensive to me would be, now this would be in regards to living in Mexico, would be renting a place $1400 - $1500 usd and up. And all in with utilities, food, entertainment, etc around $2500 usd a month.
Big problem! All beach towns in Mexico are too hot!! 8 AM, Aug. 3, - 84 degrees F! And will get hotter! Patzcuaro, in the mountains of Michoacan, a pleasant 57 degrees at 8 AM! I hate air conditioning!
@@MexicoRelocationGuide ! Not any longer! With climate change a freightening reality, it is stupid to consider property any where near beaches, especially ones where the temperature will soon render many areas unlivable. If you are regularly above 90 degrees F, think what it will be like in a few more years! Maybe less! A wet bulb temperature at around 109 degrees will kill you! Today, at about noon, the temperature is already 90 degrees and feels like 108! Read em and weap!
@@j.whisper2379 These are TYPICAL mid-summer temps in my area of central VA with very high humidity levels as well. I’ve lived in these temps for my entire 60yrs of life. Not a big deal AT ALL. Stop with the phony doomsday panic crap. Perhaps you should see a Dr for your unwarranted anxiety/panic attacks. I’m looking forward to retiring on a Mexican beachfront as these temps/humidity levels will be very much like what I’ve lived in my entire life, EXCEPT with the extra added bonus of having ocean breezes which helps very much and makes it FAR MORE COMFORTABLE than our stagnant, hot, humidity in central Virginia.

Congratulations - great presentation, very informative & well narrated. I enjoyed it!
So glad you enjoyed it John. Hope you get to subscribe :)
It's beautiful, great vid!
Glad you like it!
Your post was a eye opener.
I'm 55 yr Retired at 50.
Being able to drive to these great locations is a game changer.
I agree! Mexico is wonderful because you can drive here!
May I ask how you retired at 50? I thought social security benefits didn't kick in until age 65?
I ask because I'm 50 and tired. lol

ALL of Mexico is amazing! Glad you're enjoying the videos
@@MexicoRelocationGuide no doubt to THAT! I think really all that has to happen is to find a location that at least works....and keep exploring!!

Yes Todos Santos is def on my list 😀
Thank you for the feedback
We absolutely love staying in San Jose del Cabo. We visit every year and stay at Coral Baja.
Beautiful information Mariana. We'll be visiting San Jose del Cabo and
Cabo San Lucas very soon.

Not really - anywhere near water will be humid

Watching this while staying at a resort in SJCabo (last minute trip). Will definitely go try the restaurants you suggested. Cheers!
Awesome! Salud

it sure is! Thanks for checking it out with us

I’d like to learn more about Puerto Vallarta if you have a video planned. 🙂
I have one coming out next month 😀

San Jose looks really nice! Have you done a video on Oaxaca City? I looked through your videos and didn't see anything.
Not yet- it's on the list 🙂

Do you have a video on Cabo San Lucas?

Expensive is "relative" or "subjective". What's expensive to you?
