Really thoughtful piece. Thank you Forrest and Mariana. I appreciated his perspective on being curious, letting Mexico change you to be a little less aggravated, and becoming more flexible (his example of trying to pay the utility bill at multiple Oxxos) :).
Great video! The way you shop for groceries is how we used to shop in Brooklyn (NYC) when I was growing up, and I've started shopping that way again because we have green grocers and small shops nearby. I think I will love it there!
This is - in my opinion - the BEST YT Travel video I have ever seen. The fact that its about Guadalajara is irrelevant (although Im planning to go very soon). This guy really knows his stuff. He's honest, calm, balanced, and knows what he is talking about (both the good and bad stuff). He should get a job as a tour guide or planner. Bravo to everyone. Well done.
BAY AREA!!! I love this content! It's nice to hear from people who have settled in neighborhoods that AREN'T the typical "expat destinations". I don't need to see any more videos about people living in Roma Norte or La Condesa in Mexico City, lol. I lived in the town of Sonoma for about 6 years before relocating to Berkeley about 15years ago, so it's nice to see a fellow Bay area person living in Mexico. My wife and I are thinking about how we can make early retirement financially viable and relocation to Mexico is one of the ways we are considering that would make that possible. We are city people (and expect to be for the foreseeable future), so Guadalajara and Mexico City are at the top of our list of possible landing spots.
Two thumbs up. What a beautiful and insightful interview. I share all the sentiments and sensitivities about this complex city and the Mexican culture.
My family is from Jamay and I’ve been thinking of moving back. My mom came up here in the 80s and we’d go through Guadalajara to get to Jamay. I miss the beauty and hope I can be back soon
I should check your area out, next time I’m in Guadalajara. I’ve been there twice, and haven’t yet fallen in love with it. I love all the trees, like you mentioned. I think that’s one of my favorite things about CDMX.
I re-uploaded the video. Can you please check if this fixes the audio issues for anyone who had a problem hearing what he said ua-cam.com/video/yN6HfyCHWV4/v-deo.html
Just to clarify, there are not less trees in Providencia than in Ladrón de Guevara. It's actually the opposite. Providencia has 8 important parks and two linear parks in Pablo Neruda and Montevideo, and it's next to the biggest urban forrest, Los Colomos. Ladrón de Guevara has none. And both have tall trees in the sidewalks. If he was hotter in his Providencia apartment it's not Providencia's fault. It's the apartment situation in relation to the sun.
is it a good city for someone 65 ...single but active and some Spanish....daughter will be near PV...could take the toll road easily to see her is the advantage...
@RR64434 Typical Mexican cops, believe me, you're treated worse if you are Mexican visiting from the US and your car has American plates. I could tell you numerous bribes my father had to give the cops.😆
your attitude and perspectives are wonderful; i’m very familiar with the country and love it but don’t care for expat scenes.. fortunately i’m fluent in spanish,,this morning i began thinking about guadalajara, thank you forest linda from SF❤️❤️

@@MexicoRelocationGuide thanks for all your efforts, I really don’t understand why but even with the reloaded video I hear everything except when he speaks. If I am the only one who has this issue then don’t worry about it, I’ll watch the next one.
@@MexicoRelocationGuide my dear I found out why I wasn’t hearing him talk. I usually use one earpiece, the left one to watch a UA-cam video on my phone. For some reason, when he speaks the sound only comes on the right earphone, not the left. I couldn’t hear it because of that. Turns out it’s just because of how the sound was recorded and me not using both earphones.

It seems like he's fooling himself when he's saying that Guadalajara is not more dangerous than big American cities. He also mentioned that he had a "run in" with crooked cops at night and his bike was stolen twice. Someone I know had a gun pulled at him in Guadalajara while walking back to his place from a restaurant.

Guadalajara Is not Cancún, puerto Vallarta, los Cabos or San Miguel Allende, darling.
@@gustavoperez5480 thank you, dear! I like SMA, but not those other 3 (if I was looking for a new home).
Yeap- CDMX is awesome because of all the parks and green spaces. But GDL is also very popular with the younger expats
Great interview!
Great video (and audio 😊). What kind of "run in" with the police caused them to "take" your bicycle?
He already had two bikes stolen in Guadalajara ... living in Mexico for foreigners is nice, until it is not.

Guadalajara is beautiful!

Yes, definitely want a quiet neighborhood...
