Tangerine Travels I would say to them to learn some Spanish, to blend with the locals and live like one, and like if they were whether Mexico or any other place in the World, to be cautious, use common sense and be careful
Dulce - excellent advice! Learning Spanish is key to really getting to know Mexico and all that’s in it. And of course, using common sense is a good idea no matter where you are. 😋😉
That Mexico is at the same time a very conservative country and a very liberal also. You can have a day that the heat exceeds the 40 degrees, while you can also experience snow in the winter in most northern states.
I would tell them to listen to someone that has already done a move like that(either to Mexico or to another Latin American country) people have a lot of opinions but they are usually showing their fears even though they haven't done anything similar to it.
This channel seriously needs more subcribers, you guys seem like you have been making blogs for years, even tho you said you´re rather new at this, keep up the great work guys!, I will try to spread the word on these great blogs.
That is the nicest thing we've heard all day, Raul! Thank you so much. We're both smiling like idiots over here 😍😊 Thanks for trying to help our channel grow. We have a goal to hit 10k by tomorrow.... eek! Anything is possible :)
If you don't hit 10k tomorrow, I'm pretty sure you will soon, good content = more subscribers, I think you also need more exposure in the US, I´ve seen most of your subs are actually from Mexico, just don't give up on the great content, focus a bit on facebook, even if you have to pay some ads, keep it up guys!
Great video. It is good to know most people in Mexico encourage learning espanol. I thought my Spanish speaking friends (from various countries) were especially being extra supportive when I was taking college Spanish, because I was their friend. I am not surprised because most are supportive and kind. It took me a bit to get use to the kisses and strong hugs, now I miss them.
Jordan looks like my nephew, I've been thinking that since I started watching. Now that my nephew has passed away, it makes me feel kinda comforted when I watch your videos guys.
I was thinking of retiring in Mexico by myself in about six years. While researching this, I stumbled on your videos. I have been binge watching them for the past several days. I think you guys are doing a great job. I hope I can somehow immerse myself in enough Spanish while here in Kentucky over the next few years to get by,
Hey guys thanks for another great upload. Speaking as two Brits about to move to Ajijic, México my wife and I find all your videos both fun and informative. This one was no exception and liked how you tried to cover all angles and people's expectations. We left the UK ten years ago to live in Cyprus so understand the need to appreciate different cultures and how other nationalities live and enjoy their lives. We have both been learning Spanish for about eight months now as we want to communicate with the local Mexican people as much as possible. Spanish is such a fun and great language to learn, a hell of a lot easier than Greek! Anyway really appreciate what you guys are doing and will "spread the word". You guys will be pretty close so maybe meet up for a tequila or two or three 😁
PS...Forgot to mention THE FOOD. Every region has Incredible food. The food for me is one great reason to be expat. Craving other great world foods you can find them, especially in CDMX.
I would have to say that was probably one of the best videos you have made up to this point. It was especially relevant for me since I am nearing retirement, and have been considering moving to Mexico. Some places like "International Living" paint a really rosy picture of living in Mexico without acknowledging the down sides. It was refreshing to get information on both the good and bad. Based on the information I gathered from my research so far it does not seem like I would be a good fit for living in Mexico, but I still really enjoy watching your videos and travelling vicariously through them.
I’m actually moving back to Jalisco, Mexico! Lived in California for about 15 years and I’m ready for a more relax time. Glad you guys are enjoying your time, keep up the good videos, saludos!
Is that right? Awesome! California life is SO fast-paced compared to Mexico. We're happy for you that you're coming back here to enjoy the relaxed lifestyle again.
Another excellent video👍👏 We have only visited Mexico once, but I’ve been to Peru several times, both Lima and some very very different areas. My wife and I are considering Mexico for retirement because of the cost-of-living ,weather and adventure She’s a native Spanish speaker and I’m a much better Spanish speaker than most North Americans who were born speaking English. Given my limited experience in Mexico and several trips to Peru, I had already thought through most of these things, but even though I’ve been following channels similar to yours for a couple of years, you guys add some incredible insights! I had never even considered Guadalajara and now we certainly want to spend some time there before We make our final decision. We are still several years away from retirement so we will keep watching . Thanks guys
I have been in a lot of situations where I know a little Spanish and they know a little English and we can communicate through emotional connection. Travel is about trying new things and being out of your comfort zone, but you have a fun story to tell everyone!
Great point! And Spanglish can be just as effective where each person fills in the gaps in the other language until you can figure it out :) And so true about breaking out of your comfort zone.
Thanks friends. We are watching you. We are living in Ururguay and seriusly thinking about to move to Mexico in a year. Your videos are very helpfull for us.
Growing up in the USA seems like the media makes mexico seem so negative thats why people have such a negative view on mexico...i lived in mexico for 2 years after i turned 18 and have say i was blown away not what i expected such a beautiful country the people the food the scenery just the overall lifestyle and just the freedom you feel compare to living in the USA....love both my countries but Mexico doesn't get enough credit thats why i love vlogs like this
Hey guys, I have been down to Mexico a few times and am moving there in September. I am planning to move to Ensenada as I have friends there. I just came across your videos today and am glad for your info. I am actually going to be driving down there with my cute service dog. I am on a fixed income so I can’t make any more money but I have enough to get by, I could not imagine doing what you guys did though. Maybe when I get down there we could get together for some tacos.
I really admire what you are both doing. My issue would be the spanish because i would love to stay in Mexico. I would love to feel the thrill and the food with their fresh fruits. I am naturally an indoor person so it might be a little easier for me, but then that wouldn't help in the long run because i won't be able to make friends. I would love to visit Mexico but not to stay permanently but just to have another environment to feel and enjoy.
Since you already know another language, that's half the battle. We imagine it would be so much easier to learn more after we know Spanish, but it's the first language we've tried to learn beyond our native English. I'm sure you would do just fine if you came here. You're one of the friendliest and most loving people we know! Just like Mexicans here :D
Give yourself A couple of years studying with free apps like Duolingo and watch some of the excellent Spanish teaching channels on UA-cam. I’ve never had a Spanish class but I’ve been able to go to Peru and be completely comfortable walking around in interacting with the locals using only Spanish and I’ve never had a Spanish class
I think your Spanish is great! We lived in Argentina for a year and a half and I don't think my Spanish is as good as yours! We're thinking of moving to Mexico in the next 2 years though. Thanks for your input! Also being an expat is ALWAYS full of challenges, but not always what your family at home wants to hear, so some people might rosey it up.
I gotta admit, I’ve been binge watching your videos to possibly get a residency in Mexico as an alternative to the US since I’m fluent in Spanish. Really enjoy all your honest insight to all aspects of moving there. I would definitely avoid all the US border cities and move inland due to the high crime. All great recommendations here. I commend you both and really grateful for sharing your discoveries although this is a 3 year old video. Great chemistry between you two and also love your open minds. Keep it up and thank you for all these gold tips!
Jesse, although these two are now split and Jordan is with May - this is still good stuff. I wish the best for both. I really like May too and hope all works out well for all.
Really great points! I'm so excited to finally be there! Thanks for setting realistic expectations. We've only been to Mexico for two weeks and although we did try to live as locals, we know it's going to be completely different once we're there for an extended period of time.
Thanks for watching amigos! Seems like you guys are already coming here with an open mind and that's the biggest step beyond the language. How's the Spanish coming?
We've been slacking on the Spanish :/ We know the basics to get by but once we're there and have more time we plan to take lessons as well as force ourselves to only speak Spanish at home. We'll see how that goes!
Oh my gosh you guys! I probably said this a dozen times but this is my favorite video so far! It's like you are answering my personal questions! Thank you for your candid and thoughtful information! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
Hello, this is Carlos. I really enjoy watching your videos. And in February, my family and I are going to Guadalajara. I’m really excited to take the Herradura train ride. Thanks to you guys I learned a lot from your videos.
You both are doing great with the language. What is going to slow you down a bit is that it is easier to find an English speaker just about anywhere. a person will learn a new language based on interest, motivation, and need. Age will not affect your learning capabilities, it might affect your ability to speak with a native accent , but not to speak it fluently. I wen t to a music school where most of the teachers were from Moscow. they picked up the language within a year or less, but no one spoke Russian here so, they had to figure it out quickly . never say never! and I appreciate that you are real. that is why i like your videos. Keep up the great work !
Thank you for the compliments. You really made us smile! You are so right about learning a language. If you don't want it or need it, it's going to be slow going. It takes a lot of persistence, practice, and determination as we've quickly learned. They do say it becomes X% more difficult to learn a language after age 8 or something, but it shouldn't stop someone from trying. :) Thanks for appreciating our "realness." We take pride in that because we hope it builds more trust with our audience. If we say something, we're being honest and we don't have ulterior motives. ;)
wel.. you guys are doing great! just don't stress the pronunciation, focus on just speaking it without hesitating, even if you dont know how to say something, try and guess how to say it . You have already noticed , people are patient and grateful you are learning and no one really says anything if you have na accent, what matters is that you relay a message, and that you understand. tank you for sharing your experiences!
You’re right, I just watched an older video of you guys talking with an Uber driver and I was greatly surprised and impressed, I’d never heard you speak more than a sentence in spanish before and you guys amazed me your accent is not that bad and most words you speak sound accurate , and you seem to understand pretty well , For only being around 5 months here its very impressive, just don’t lose practice everyday and you will get very fluent. Keep up the good work
Jordan and Maddie, I saw another of your vlogs on Phoenix and my Mary drove 5 miles from our house to buy pottery at Mercado Mexico. Thanks for the tip.
I stumbled upon your videos and I really like them. I’ve been living in Mexico for 9 years now. In trying to get my dad to come down here once he retires.
Thanks for watching our videos Steven! Glad you're enjoying them :) Where are you living in Mexico? We love it here! Hope your dad comes around and ends up liking it.
i think you did a very good job with this video..you are being honest, and i think you did it well. i loved it. so many people think its just cheaper, and think its like a long term vacation. it is a different lifestyle good and bad
You were spot-on about studying the language in advance. In the beginning, when I first moved to Vallarta, people were so kind to me because I tried to use my limited Spanish. So many times, people would take pity on me and help me out. Many years before, when I traveled to/around Europe every summer for a decade, even the French (who have a reputation for hating Americans) respected me because at least I made an attempt to speak French. You guys put a lot of work in preparation for your big move. Congrats! P.S. I can't believe you"re not yet monetized on UA-cam. You have over 9K subs already. What's the deal?
A friend from Belgium came as an exchange student and when she just got here she barely knew any spanish and today, a year later, we even joke that she is more mexican than us because she is super fluent, of course, everyone learns at a different pace but she says she wouldn’t have learned Spanish if she hadn’t lived here
Like always, great video. You guys are awesome. You guys are immersing yourselves in the culture and that is the best way to learn the language (in your case Spanish).
You guys are awesome ! I think you're doing really great! It will take some time to learn more about Mexico 🇲🇽, Culture and Language, but Thank You for sharing things about Mexico that I didn't know about! Love your Videos! Keep it up! 👍😊♥️
Your videos are great! One question I had is where you both learned Spanish. I think you said in the video that you started learning Spanish about a year before coming down. But from where i sit, your Spanish is AMAZINGLY good, especially Maddie (Jordans is good too 😁). What tools, classes, etc did you use to get your Spanish to where it is now?
Thanks Steve! We were doing daily audible lessons with Pimsleur (lessons on CD) and also with Rocket Languages. Now, we have been reading Spanish books and watching TV shows in Spanish to supplement our learning. We are also using this app called Memrise now too. It's very helpful!
After years of planning and dreaming, I am finally on track to move to Puebla at the beginning of next year! (Covid permitting, of course) I can't wait to explore all the new places I haven't been and see what paintings will come out of it! ❤️
I think that what you said is very true, to be real there are few channels that say the bad stuff about a country, because no country is perfect, and its great to have you guys to be honest and be real, because mexico does have its flaws as well as the US. And you guys have a lot of videos about the country and looking at every detail, keep up the good work! you should visit other countries in the future
AWESOME Upload, no doubt about Arizonians and from what I see in Jordan, Minnesotans are as friendly and nice as Southerners(Texas to Virginia)! LOL...on Maddie getting interrupted by the cute pooch and WOW, what was that gymnastic exercise or stunt that Jordan did on those hanging rings? Ustedes dos son BIEN CHIDO, translation: You two are REALLY COOL! :)
Great info..I travel to learn things about different cultures, meet different people, get my mind, senses and emotions 'moving.' MX is DIVERSE in everyway. The country embraces and honors it's indigenous past. Has mountains, desert, surf and sand glorious oceans, jungles, modern and colonial designs. MX City is becoming even more fun and glorious. One of the world's great airports an architectural wonder open with two years. It's the people though that make it a country I want to call home. Friendly, beautiful, spirited and passionate. (Your great soccer day vid and one done by KKs and Dan New Trave makes an important statement).👍 MORE Guadalajara trivia. Not on same level as CHICHARITO😁 but close. Gael Garcia Bernal was born and grew up there. Now in CDMX, he started film company with a partner. An actor too has been on US TV often. Won a Golden Globe for Motzart In Jungle and participated with Pixar Films COCO, kinda of an animated Day of Dead film. DAY OF DEAD honorings also say a great deal about Mexicans. It's an inspiring, moving time for me. Muchas gracias.
Moving to Guadalajara for work. I hope I would like it there. I had difficulty learning Mandarin here in Shanghai. But even when I did not learn the language and could not read Chinese, I lived here for 4 years. Hoping Spanish would be easier to learn and hope to enjoy Mexico . Thanks for your videos
We've heard Mandarin is SO difficult to learn. I'm sure you'll have a much easier time with Spanish because at least the alphabet is the same and many words are similar. Where are you from in the US? We think Guadalajara is very similar to Houston, TX in a lot of ways. Definitely more similar in culture to some parts of the US than other Mexican cities.
Really Nice, bright, realistic advice... Regarding to the strugles learning another language... I can relate with you... I studied English in a dayly basis for years... When I got my first job in Ana american company they hired me as an English speaker person.... Oh my... What a terrible experience it was ro find myself with the cruel reality that my skills speaking English were way lower than I spected. I couldn't comunicate at all with people from Ireland and I did it poorly with People working in New York,.. I had to learn how to comunicate really fast if I wanted to survive... So 25 years later I can say that I can barely comunicate in English... It is not easy to learn another language at all... I loved you candidness and sincerity of your opinion. Y really like the quick you are able to adapt to a new environtment... Keep the good job... Your vídeos are funny, educational, interesting and inteligent.
Maddie ,Jordan,and of course Laska. Love your channel and content. I have lived in S.W Florida most of my life. I Have worked at Along side of many Mexicans and other Latin & South Americans . I love the people in general . Thanks for you for showing your experiences. Jordan reminds me of a great friend that I had . Whom passed a couple of years ago. Y'all have a great chemistry and I enjoy your Channel. Keep up the great work . Thanks for laughs😀😂😁
I work from home in CA, and have been pondering the idea of moving to GDL and working from there. Unfortunately my house doesn't have much equity to sell and have any left over...
Hello there in Phoenix! Hope you're staying cool these days. Now that they've approved our channel for advertising, we're making a bit more. Still not enough to live by, but it helps!
If I figure out that I really want to live in Mexico and want to move there for a while, I know my Mexican parents will not be happy because they’ll think that I don’t care about them going to the US just so I would run back to Mexico. I want to live a life that is full of real experiences and not be stuck in a routine and job and being around people who just use electronics all the time. I went to Mexico for 3 months and I loved it! It was super relaxing and amazing people. You hear bird chirping and the gallos in the morning.
You have to say hello and goodbye to every single person at an event or party. You cannot just wave goodbye to a room full of people. It took me 1.5 years to adjust to that. People thought I was unfriendly. Now that I am used to it, I love it. If you are with a group and you say goodbye to everyone, but then all stand around talking for five minutes, say goodbye to everyone (with hugs or kisses) again! Or you will known as "un poco frio"
That's good to know! We'd probably be seen as a little unfriendly in that case because we're both pretty shy around big groups of people. The concept of saying goodbye to everyone once we're ready to leave would be like eek! :) We'll have to try a little harder. Thanks for the advice!
Start with friends and aquaintances and work into it. I am an introvert at heart so it took a while for me too! (Note: not a huge party or concert in public, but definitely at a lunch or get-together.)
I know culture and the way of living in Mexico is it going to be a shock for most Gringos,but in Mexico you are going to have a real life, you are going to be living a life like a real human being, now in the US people live connected to a computer or to a TV, for the most part people have no life
No truer statement than this one. We love how people still connect with each other here instead of solely through texting, social media, etc. You make a GREAT point. 🤗
Lupe Padilla You are completely wrong. You can't go around and just generalize that people in the US have no life where as people from Mexico do. Tbh you sound a pretty anti-american.
Mexico sounds more and more appealing ! Everything that's going on in US lately makes you think about your future. Life is nothing but high stress and too much negativity in US !
Alexandra Alexandra Makes me wonder WHY such a negative image , ONLY of Mexican culture is shared with the USA? Another question why a wall? A wall can not only keep people out, A wall can keep people IN! I wonder sometimes....... But, our media and government wouldn’t do something like that? What motive would they have ...? I love ❤️ your channel, New SUB from Connecticut! Nice to see another Maddy ! 💪🏻❤️😃
Hi guys, thanks for these videos...may I ask where you filmed this bc it's very pretty. (ha, nevermind,you say in later part of vid).......also, since I have tried to research the different areas...and keep finding conflicting info...might you be able to do a pro cons list for separate areas /cities? that may help..or just compare contrast...landscape, cost, retire or not, climate, etc etc
Some comments you left after this on the "ugly side of Ajijic" and other videos are basically our version of a pro/con list. We could probably do a "wrap up" type video when leaving cities we spend a lot of time in, but we haven't yet. We'll try to make that happen! If you have any questions on videos we make about various cities, feel free to ask and we'll do our best to help! :)
You guys should open a Airbnb/fancy hostel and do guided tours! No no no you guys should get to know doctors and dentists and bring people from the us to get medical treatment for a fewer cost
We'd definitely consider doing that in the future since we've been to a TON of Airbnbs at this point. But with a UA-cam channel, we might not be the best hosts haha. We'd love to do some Doctor/Dentist features soon. We'll soon be needing our annual checkups and whatnot.
YOU TWO ARE GETTING BETTER SO NICE TO KNOW THAT MEXICO COULD BE AN OPTION.....WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT ALCAPULCO?? MUCHISIMAS GRACIAS FOR KEEPING US INFORMED CONTINUED BLESSINGS TO YOU BOTH AND PUPPY.....🐺
Hey Pancho! We haven’t been to Acapulco yet but whenever we do, we’ll get back to you on what we learn about it. 😄 Thanks for watching our channel! Glad you’re finding it useful.
when filling up you should request a certain amount of liters rather than just an amount of money. to ensure you get what u pay for. also you can buy portable air conditioners but it will raise your light bill
I was born in Mexico city in 1964 form a mother born in Minneapolis MN and a father from Oaxaca MX, from 64 to 68 our family lived in the heart of the city I have a desire to know more about this city, I remember many things. Form 68 to 71 our family moved to Ciudad Juarez Chihuahua and then from 71 to 75 lived in Monterrey MX, this was a magical city for me. My parents divorced in 1976 and I moved with my Mother to Minneapolis MN in 76 @ 12 years old not knowing the English language. I'm 54 now, and a gringo. I can totally relate to what you are going thru and you guys are very brave and amazing! you are young and so excited about life! I want to move back to Monterrey between November and March to be able to escape the brutal winters in Minneapolis MN. You guys have a great heart! wish you the very best in you ventures!
Go to Las fiestas de agosto in jalostotitlan. It's the heart of Los altos region; it's only hour and a half north east of guadalajara. The celebrations in the towns of Los altos are great and authentic to Mexican culture.... .many folk songs talk about this region. I encourage you to visit.
I spend the summer in Cuernavaca and it was great. If you ever get the chance to go, please do. From there you can go to Xochitepec, clime to the pyramid in Tepoztlan and go to the magical town of Taxco. This are really old cities that have a lot of colonial and Mextica history. Plus they have great Mezcal in Taxco.
One of our subscribers lives in Cuernacava. We'd love to go there in the future. Sounds like it's quite diverse with lots of things to do. :) We'll definitely keep your tips in mind. Thanks, Alex!
Another great video, guys! I wonder if it's safe to assume there are lots of Spanish immersion classes down there though? (In Canada it's difficult to find Spanish lessons outside the major cities)
Nice video, i think that living in other country is always a nice experience. You can expand your horizons, learn a lot, called it language, trying new food, political, history, etc. You will be leaving behind your fears when you travel. I´m from Guadalajara and i´m working in Chicago in a temporary project. Hope you are enjoying Guadalajara. Visit Tlaquepaque and ¨Las nieves de Garrafa¨. Have you visited Tequila town? It´s worth it guys.
That Mexico is at the same time a very conservative country and a very liberal also. You can have a day that the heat exceeds the 40 degrees, while you can also experience snow in the winter in most northern states.
o forgot to tell you that I use one of those gas additives they sell at Pemex once in a while just to keep your injectors clean ,I don't do it at every fill up just once in a while just to clean keep up with injectors and piston surface .if you use the green color regular gas.the red is good but more expensive.
Do you know if those things are okay for hybrid cars? Our little Tangerine-mobile is a hybrid electric/gas and you can't use premium in it. Not sure about any other additives.
Hello guys, I'm from Guadalajara, me and my wife love your videos and keep wondering if we may have the luck to meet you in person. One qq... are you going to establish yourself on Guadalajara?
We’re planning on moving to Mexico in two years... My wife is from el D.F Mex. I’m from Va. and we’re ready to leave here and heading to Cholula, Puebla.
Without sounding condescending i strongly believe Mexico is for people who can be self sufficient, there a no handouts or “free” anything in Mexico pero eso si la gente es muy amigable y solidaria 💕 saludos desde California 🇺🇸
I go to Guadalajara every other weekend, I live in Orange County but my wife lives in Colima, colima. I can consider many places in Mexico for you to visit especially beaches have u been to barra de navidad? You must visit u will love it. Hope I can meet with u guys one of these days I go to Guadalajara, love your videos by the way
We haven't been to Barra de Navidad yet. It's definitely on our list of places we'd like to go :) If you ever see us when you come down to GDL don't be afraid to say hello. :D Thanks for watching our videos Alvaro!
I'm retired. I have a small hobby farm (Little house on the Prairie kind of farm) in Arkansas (no animals right now because I'm considering moving-I do have two dogs and two cats). I'm learning Spanish. Because of terrible pain from degenerative osteoarthritis I prefer a not so rainy place. Weather around 72 degrees or more. I like to be in the country, but not too far from a hospital (I'm a veteran but I doubt there is a VA clinic nearby, lol) or stores. I love to be near any body of water, camping, fishing, hunting, horseback riding, cheap healthy street food. I'd like a simple small hobby farm in Mexico. I like to make goat cheese, and milk products, and I refurbish wood furniture, redo RVs, some car repair, so there are different things I can do to make a little more money or just trade/help with others. Last...to have some goats, sheep, chickens, horse, grow food. I'm fine being around more locals instead of around tourists. Any advice???? Thank you :)
Why don't you ask this in our public Facebook group so others can chime in and help you explore some options. facebook.com/groups/tangerinetravelsmexicogroup/
I just found your channel and watched all your videos in four days lol. My husband and I are thinking of maybe going to Mexico either for vacation or long term and I was wondering if you have seen how people travel around Mexico with a new baby. Do you see people with strollers or do they carry their baby or do they normally drive their own car? I love your videos!
Strollers are common in cities. In the pueblos you will see a lot of people just carrying babies with a shawl though they use strollers too. Most Mexicans think that big, elaborate baby backpacks are funny, except in the big cities. People take their kids anywhere, literally anywhere, so it would be fine to travel with the little one if you bring the things you aren't sure you can get here.
Thanks for the input Nacho! We don't have kids (unless you count Laska that is lol) but it does seem much more common that people carry their babies in arm rather than in strollers. Depending on the city, the uneven/cobblestone sidewalks or streets would make having most strollers impossible. Hope this helps :)
Theres a lot of mix opinions, but you if you go ajiji chapala theres tons of retired canadians and americans you should definitely go to ajiji and make a video asking the retired how they feel with the change from U.S to Mexico. Ajiji I think is 2hrs from Guadalajara
What would you tell someone considering moving to Mexico?
Tangerine Travels I would say to them to learn some Spanish, to blend with the locals and live like one, and like if they were whether Mexico or any other place in the World, to be cautious, use common sense and be careful
Dulce - excellent advice! Learning Spanish is key to really getting to know Mexico and all that’s in it. And of course, using common sense is a good idea no matter where you are. 😋😉
That Mexico is at the same time a very conservative country and a very liberal also. You can have a day that the heat exceeds the 40 degrees, while you can also experience snow in the winter in most northern states.
Another idea. Mine crypto currency in mexico..Just get some graphics cards, connect to motherboard and internet and bam.
I would tell them to listen to someone that has already done a move like that(either to Mexico or to another Latin American country) people have a lot of opinions but they are usually showing their fears even though they haven't done anything similar to it.
This channel seriously needs more subcribers, you guys seem like you have been making blogs for years, even tho you said you´re rather new at this, keep up the great work guys!, I will try to spread the word on these great blogs.
That is the nicest thing we've heard all day, Raul! Thank you so much. We're both smiling like idiots over here 😍😊 Thanks for trying to help our channel grow. We have a goal to hit 10k by tomorrow.... eek! Anything is possible :)
If you don't hit 10k tomorrow, I'm pretty sure you will soon, good content = more subscribers, I think you also need more exposure in the US, I´ve seen most of your subs are actually from Mexico, just don't give up on the great content, focus a bit on facebook, even if you have to pay some ads, keep it up guys!
What a beautiful couple. Enjoy the rest of the day. God bless both of you.
You're so sweet, thank you Ruben!
Great video. It is good to know most people in Mexico encourage learning espanol. I thought my Spanish speaking friends (from various countries) were especially being extra supportive when I was taking college Spanish, because I was their friend. I am not surprised because most are supportive and kind. It took me a bit to get use to the kisses and strong hugs, now I miss them.
Jordan looks like my nephew, I've been thinking that since I started watching. Now that my nephew has passed away, it makes me feel kinda comforted when I watch your videos guys.
I was thinking of retiring in Mexico by myself in about six years. While researching this, I stumbled on your videos. I have been binge watching them for the past several days. I think you guys are doing a great job. I hope I can somehow immerse myself in enough Spanish while here in Kentucky over the next few years to get by,
Hey guys thanks for another great upload. Speaking as two Brits about to move to Ajijic, México my wife and I find all your videos both fun and informative. This one was no exception and liked how you tried to cover all angles and people's expectations. We left the UK ten years ago to live in Cyprus so understand the need to appreciate different cultures and how other nationalities live and enjoy their lives. We have both been learning Spanish for about eight months now as we want to communicate with the local Mexican people as much as possible. Spanish is such a fun and great language to learn, a hell of a lot easier than Greek! Anyway really appreciate what you guys are doing and will "spread the word". You guys will be pretty close so maybe meet up for a tequila or two or three 😁
PS...Forgot to mention THE FOOD. Every region has Incredible food. The food for me is one great reason to be expat. Craving other great world foods you can find them, especially in CDMX.
I would have to say that was probably one of the best videos you have made up to this point. It was especially relevant for me since I am nearing retirement, and have been considering moving to Mexico. Some places like "International Living" paint a really rosy picture of living in Mexico without acknowledging the down sides. It was refreshing to get information on both the good and bad. Based on the information I gathered from my research so far it does not seem like I would be a good fit for living in Mexico, but I still really enjoy watching your videos and travelling vicariously through them.
I’m actually moving back to Jalisco, Mexico! Lived in California for about 15 years and I’m ready for a more relax time. Glad you guys are enjoying your time, keep up the good videos, saludos!
Is that right? Awesome! California life is SO fast-paced compared to Mexico. We're happy for you that you're coming back here to enjoy the relaxed lifestyle again.
I'm extremely proud of you guys!!!! Keep it up, god bless!!
I am fortunate to have Mexican friends who have allowed me to enjoy visiting with their families and taking me on tours around the country.
Another excellent video👍👏 We have only visited Mexico once, but I’ve been to Peru several times, both Lima and some very very different areas. My wife and I are considering Mexico for retirement because of the cost-of-living ,weather and adventure
She’s a native Spanish speaker and I’m a much better Spanish speaker than most North Americans who were born speaking English.
Given my limited experience in Mexico and several trips to Peru, I had already thought through most of these things, but even though I’ve been following channels similar to yours for a couple of years, you guys add some incredible insights! I had never even considered Guadalajara and now we certainly want to spend some time there before We make our final decision. We are still several years away from retirement so we will keep watching .
Thanks guys
Tangerinies , Thanks for being generous with your thoughts . I've been here in Ajijica for 8 years. Keep bein' gentle with your thoughts . Marty
Thanks Marty!
I have been in a lot of situations where I know a little Spanish and they know a little English and we can communicate through emotional connection. Travel is about trying new things and being out of your comfort zone, but you have a fun story to tell everyone!
Great point! And Spanglish can be just as effective where each person fills in the gaps in the other language until you can figure it out :)
And so true about breaking out of your comfort zone.
Thanks friends. We are watching you. We are living in Ururguay and seriusly thinking about to move to Mexico in a year. Your videos are very helpfull for us.
Growing up in the USA seems like the media makes mexico seem so negative thats why people have such a negative view on mexico...i lived in mexico for 2 years after i turned 18 and have say i was blown away not what i expected such a beautiful country the people the food the scenery just the overall lifestyle and just the freedom you feel compare to living in the USA....love both my countries but Mexico doesn't get enough credit thats why i love vlogs like this
Hey guys, I have been down to Mexico a few times and am moving there in September. I am planning to move to Ensenada as I have friends there. I just came across your videos today and am glad for your info. I am actually going to be driving down there with my cute service dog. I am on a fixed income so I can’t make any more money but I have enough to get by, I could not imagine doing what you guys did though. Maybe when I get down there we could get together for some tacos.
Los colomos is a nice park too, its greener and perfect for a run
We've been there twice now, love it! And it's super cool that there's workout equipment all around the park. And the squirrels! :) haha
I really admire what you are both doing. My issue would be the spanish because i would love to stay in Mexico. I would love to feel the thrill and the food with their fresh fruits. I am naturally an indoor person so it might be a little easier for me, but then that wouldn't help in the long run because i won't be able to make friends.
I would love to visit Mexico but not to stay permanently but just to have another environment to feel and enjoy.
Since you already know another language, that's half the battle. We imagine it would be so much easier to learn more after we know Spanish, but it's the first language we've tried to learn beyond our native English. I'm sure you would do just fine if you came here. You're one of the friendliest and most loving people we know! Just like Mexicans here :D
Your kind words humbled me. Thank you so much.
Give yourself A couple of years studying with free apps like Duolingo and watch some of the excellent Spanish teaching channels on UA-cam. I’ve never had a Spanish class but I’ve been able to go to Peru and be completely comfortable walking around in interacting with the locals using only Spanish and I’ve never had a Spanish class
I think your Spanish is great! We lived in Argentina for a year and a half and I don't think my Spanish is as good as yours! We're thinking of moving to Mexico in the next 2 years though. Thanks for your input! Also being an expat is ALWAYS full of challenges, but not always what your family at home wants to hear, so some people might rosey it up.
I gotta admit, I’ve been binge watching your videos to possibly get a residency in Mexico as an alternative to the US since I’m fluent in Spanish. Really enjoy all your honest insight to all aspects of moving there. I would definitely avoid all the US border cities and move inland due to the high crime. All great recommendations here. I commend you both and really grateful for sharing your discoveries although this is a 3 year old video. Great chemistry between you two and also love your open minds. Keep it up and thank you for all these gold tips!
Jesse, although these two are now split and Jordan is with May - this is still good stuff. I wish the best for both. I really like May too and hope all works out well for all.
Really great points! I'm so excited to finally be there! Thanks for setting realistic expectations. We've only been to Mexico for two weeks and although we did try to live as locals, we know it's going to be completely different once we're there for an extended period of time.
Thanks for watching amigos! Seems like you guys are already coming here with an open mind and that's the biggest step beyond the language. How's the Spanish coming?
We've been slacking on the Spanish :/ We know the basics to get by but once we're there and have more time we plan to take lessons as well as force ourselves to only speak Spanish at home. We'll see how that goes!
Id say. Relax. You are on the fun side of the wall.
Oh my gosh you guys! I probably said this a dozen times but this is my favorite video so far! It's like you are answering my personal questions! Thank you for your candid and thoughtful information! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
Hello, this is Carlos. I really enjoy watching your videos. And in February, my family and I are going to Guadalajara. I’m really excited to take the Herradura train ride. Thanks to you guys I learned a lot from your videos.
You both are doing great with the language. What is going to slow you down a bit is that it is easier to find an English speaker just about anywhere. a person will learn a new language based on interest, motivation, and need. Age will not affect your learning capabilities, it might affect your ability to speak with a native accent , but not to speak it fluently. I wen t to a music school where most of the teachers were from Moscow. they picked up the language within a year or less, but no one spoke Russian here so, they had to figure it out quickly . never say never! and I appreciate that you are real. that is why i like your videos. Keep up the great work !
Thank you for the compliments. You really made us smile! You are so right about learning a language. If you don't want it or need it, it's going to be slow going. It takes a lot of persistence, practice, and determination as we've quickly learned. They do say it becomes X% more difficult to learn a language after age 8 or something, but it shouldn't stop someone from trying. :)
Thanks for appreciating our "realness." We take pride in that because we hope it builds more trust with our audience. If we say something, we're being honest and we don't have ulterior motives. ;)
wel.. you guys are doing great! just don't stress the pronunciation, focus on just speaking it without hesitating, even if you dont know how to say something, try and guess how to say it . You have already noticed , people are patient and grateful you are learning and no one really says anything if you have na accent, what matters is that you relay a message, and that you understand. tank you for sharing your experiences!
You’re right, I just watched an older video of you guys talking with an Uber driver and I was greatly surprised and impressed, I’d never heard you speak more than a sentence in spanish before and you guys amazed me your accent is not that bad and most words you speak sound accurate , and you seem to understand pretty well , For only being around 5 months here its very impressive, just don’t lose practice everyday and you will get very fluent. Keep up the good work
Great video! Been having the urge to go live in Mexico and your videos have been super helpful. Keep up the good vlogging!
Jordan and Maddie, I saw another of your vlogs on Phoenix and my Mary drove 5 miles from our house to buy pottery at Mercado Mexico. Thanks for the tip.
I stumbled upon your videos and I really like them. I’ve been living in Mexico for 9 years now. In trying to get my dad to come down here once he retires.
Thanks for watching our videos Steven! Glad you're enjoying them :) Where are you living in Mexico? We love it here! Hope your dad comes around and ends up liking it.
Tangerine Travels thanks for replying. I’m in the state of Hidalgo in a little town called Mixquiahuala about an hour from the capital Pachuca.
What did we get wrong in this video? What do you think we were spot-on about?
Tangerine Travels you didn’t commented that in the north of the country there are a lot of bilingual citizens specially near the border.
i think you did a very good job with this video..you are being honest, and i think you did it well. i loved it. so many people think its just cheaper, and think its like a long term vacation. it is a different lifestyle good and bad
You said it like it is...Mexico opens its arms to foreigners
You were spot-on about studying the language in advance. In the beginning, when I first moved to Vallarta, people were so kind to me because I tried to use my limited Spanish. So many times, people would take pity on me and help me out. Many years before, when I traveled to/around Europe every summer for a decade, even the French (who have a reputation for hating Americans) respected me because at least I made an attempt to speak French. You guys put a lot of work in preparation for your big move. Congrats!
P.S. I can't believe you"re not yet monetized on UA-cam. You have over 9K subs already. What's the deal?
Well, expecting abrupt changes in the Weather, one moment it may be BLAZING HOT, the next Torrential downpours burst all of a sudden! ;)
A friend from Belgium came as an exchange student and when she just got here she barely knew any spanish and today, a year later, we even joke that she is more mexican than us because she is super fluent, of course, everyone learns at a different pace but she says she wouldn’t have learned Spanish if she hadn’t lived here
Like always, great video. You guys are awesome. You guys are immersing yourselves in the culture and that is the best way to learn the language (in your case Spanish).
You guys are awesome ! I think you're doing really great! It will take some time to learn more about Mexico 🇲🇽, Culture and Language, but Thank You for sharing things about Mexico that I didn't know about! Love your Videos! Keep it up! 👍😊♥️
Thanks for your lovely compliment Karen! We appreciate that. :)
Tangerine Travels
😉👍
Your videos are great! One question I had is where you both learned Spanish. I think you said in the video that you started learning Spanish about a year before coming down. But from where i sit, your Spanish is AMAZINGLY good, especially Maddie (Jordans is good too 😁). What tools, classes, etc did you use to get your Spanish to where it is now?
Thanks Steve! We were doing daily audible lessons with Pimsleur (lessons on CD) and also with Rocket Languages. Now, we have been reading Spanish books and watching TV shows in Spanish to supplement our learning. We are also using this app called Memrise now too. It's very helpful!
After years of planning and dreaming, I am finally on track to move to Puebla at the beginning of next year! (Covid permitting, of course) I can't wait to explore all the new places I haven't been and see what paintings will come out of it! ❤️
I think that what you said is very true, to be real there are few channels that say the bad stuff about a country, because no country is perfect, and its great to have you guys to be honest and be real, because mexico does have its flaws as well as the US. And you guys have a lot of videos about the country and looking at every detail, keep up the good work! you should visit other countries in the future
AWESOME Upload, no doubt about Arizonians and from what I see in Jordan, Minnesotans are as friendly and nice as Southerners(Texas to Virginia)! LOL...on Maddie getting interrupted by the cute pooch and WOW, what was that gymnastic exercise or stunt that Jordan did on those hanging rings? Ustedes dos son BIEN CHIDO, translation: You two are REALLY COOL! :)
Great info..I travel to learn things about different cultures, meet different people, get my mind, senses and emotions 'moving.' MX is DIVERSE in everyway. The country embraces and honors it's indigenous past. Has mountains, desert, surf and sand glorious oceans, jungles, modern and colonial designs. MX City is becoming even more fun and glorious. One of the world's great airports an architectural wonder open with two years.
It's the people though that make it a country I want to call home. Friendly, beautiful, spirited and passionate.
(Your great soccer day vid and one done by KKs and Dan New Trave makes an important statement).👍
MORE Guadalajara trivia. Not on same level as CHICHARITO😁 but close. Gael Garcia Bernal was born and grew up there. Now in CDMX, he started film company with a partner. An actor too has been on US TV often. Won a Golden Globe for Motzart In Jungle and participated with Pixar Films COCO, kinda of an animated Day of Dead film.
DAY OF DEAD honorings also say a great deal about Mexicans. It's an inspiring, moving time for me.
Muchas gracias.
Good video guys!
Moving to Guadalajara for work. I hope I would like it there. I had difficulty learning Mandarin here in Shanghai. But even when I did not learn the language and could not read Chinese, I lived here for 4 years. Hoping Spanish would be easier to learn and hope to enjoy Mexico . Thanks for your videos
We've heard Mandarin is SO difficult to learn. I'm sure you'll have a much easier time with Spanish because at least the alphabet is the same and many words are similar. Where are you from in the US? We think Guadalajara is very similar to Houston, TX in a lot of ways. Definitely more similar in culture to some parts of the US than other Mexican cities.
Tangerine Travels I’m actually Filipino. But my uncle and aunt live in Nevada and my cousins are in California and they know how to speak Spanish.
Very useful video!
Glad you found it useful Angel! Thanks for watching :)
Una buena opción para trabajar podrían ser los centros de llamadas (call center), usualmente necesitan personas que puedan hablar inglés
Really Nice, bright, realistic advice... Regarding to the strugles learning another language... I can relate with you... I studied English in a dayly basis for years... When I got my first job in Ana american company they hired me as an English speaker person.... Oh my... What a terrible experience it was ro find myself with the cruel reality that my skills speaking English were way lower than I spected. I couldn't comunicate at all with people from Ireland and I did it poorly with People working in New York,.. I had to learn how to comunicate really fast if I wanted to survive... So 25 years later I can say that I can barely comunicate in English... It is not easy to learn another language at all... I loved you candidness and sincerity of your opinion. Y really like the quick you are able to adapt to a new environtment... Keep the good job... Your vídeos are funny, educational, interesting and inteligent.
Maddie ,Jordan,and of course Laska. Love your channel and content. I have lived in S.W Florida most of my life. I Have worked at
Along side of many Mexicans and other Latin & South Americans .
I love the people in general .
Thanks for you for showing your experiences.
Jordan reminds me of a great friend that I had . Whom passed a couple of years ago. Y'all have a great chemistry and I enjoy your Channel. Keep up the great work . Thanks for laughs😀😂😁
I work from home in CA, and have been pondering the idea of moving to GDL and working from there. Unfortunately my house doesn't have much equity to sell and have any left over...
Hope you can find a solution soon amigo!
Nice sunglasses, keep up the great work.
At least you two are honest and I like you I hope God blesses you too take care
I'm so sorry that there isn't any money in UA-cam for you. I enjoy your videos and am also in Phoenix. Thank you !
Hello there in Phoenix! Hope you're staying cool these days. Now that they've approved our channel for advertising, we're making a bit more. Still not enough to live by, but it helps!
If I figure out that I really want to live in Mexico and want to move there for a while, I know my Mexican parents will not be happy because they’ll think that I don’t care about them going to the US just so I would run back to Mexico. I want to live a life that is full of real experiences and not be stuck in a routine and job and being around people who just use electronics all the time. I went to Mexico for 3 months and I loved it! It was super relaxing and amazing people. You hear bird chirping and the gallos in the morning.
You guys are picking up español very good and culture as well, good job tangerines.
Wow. Thanks, Blessings. Love your show!
You guys are just awesome
You have to say hello and goodbye to every single person at an event or party. You cannot just wave goodbye to a room full of people. It took me 1.5 years to adjust to that. People thought I was unfriendly.
Now that I am used to it, I love it.
If you are with a group and you say goodbye to everyone, but then all stand around talking for five minutes, say goodbye to everyone (with hugs or kisses) again!
Or you will known as "un poco frio"
That's good to know! We'd probably be seen as a little unfriendly in that case because we're both pretty shy around big groups of people. The concept of saying goodbye to everyone once we're ready to leave would be like eek! :) We'll have to try a little harder. Thanks for the advice!
Start with friends and aquaintances and work into it. I am an introvert at heart so it took a while for me too!
(Note: not a huge party or concert in public, but definitely at a lunch or get-together.)
I know culture and the way of living in Mexico is it going to be a shock for most Gringos,but in Mexico you are going to have a real life, you are going to be living a life like a real human being, now in the US people live connected to a computer or to a TV, for the most part people have no life
No truer statement than this one. We love how people still connect with each other here instead of solely through texting, social media, etc. You make a GREAT point. 🤗
Lupe Padilla
You are completely wrong. You can't go around and just generalize that people in the US have no life where as people from Mexico do. Tbh you sound a pretty anti-american.
Most people in the US are trying to find a life. I hope they succeed. namasté
Mexico sounds more and more appealing ! Everything that's going on in US lately makes you think about your future. Life is nothing but high stress and too much negativity in US !
Alexandra Alexandra Makes me wonder WHY such a negative image , ONLY of Mexican culture is shared with the USA? Another question why a wall?
A wall can not only keep people out, A wall can keep people IN!
I wonder sometimes....... But, our media and government wouldn’t do something like that? What motive would they have ...?
I love ❤️ your channel, New SUB from Connecticut!
Nice to see another Maddy ! 💪🏻❤️😃
Hi guys, thanks for these videos...may I ask where you filmed this bc it's very pretty. (ha, nevermind,you say in later part of vid).......also, since I have tried to research the different areas...and keep finding conflicting info...might you be able to do a pro cons list for separate areas /cities? that may help..or just compare contrast...landscape, cost, retire or not, climate, etc etc
Some comments you left after this on the "ugly side of Ajijic" and other videos are basically our version of a pro/con list. We could probably do a "wrap up" type video when leaving cities we spend a lot of time in, but we haven't yet. We'll try to make that happen! If you have any questions on videos we make about various cities, feel free to ask and we'll do our best to help! :)
Great vid, Guys! Thanks...
You guys should open a Airbnb/fancy hostel and do guided tours! No no no you guys should get to know doctors and dentists and bring people from the us to get medical treatment for a fewer cost
We'd definitely consider doing that in the future since we've been to a TON of Airbnbs at this point. But with a UA-cam channel, we might not be the best hosts haha. We'd love to do some Doctor/Dentist features soon. We'll soon be needing our annual checkups and whatnot.
An air BNB with A transition service, orientation service!!
YOU TWO ARE GETTING BETTER SO NICE TO KNOW THAT MEXICO COULD BE AN OPTION.....WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT ALCAPULCO?? MUCHISIMAS GRACIAS FOR KEEPING US INFORMED CONTINUED BLESSINGS TO YOU BOTH AND PUPPY.....🐺
Hey Pancho! We haven’t been to Acapulco yet but whenever we do, we’ll get back to you on what we learn about it. 😄 Thanks for watching our channel! Glad you’re finding it useful.
when filling up you should request a certain amount of liters rather than just an amount of money. to ensure you get what u pay for. also you can buy portable air conditioners but it will raise your light bill
To travel is in the human nature,and to share your findings with your congeners it’s a beautiful gesture.
What a lovely comment, Jose! Thank you for the compliment. We appreciate that!
I was born in Mexico city in 1964 form a mother born in Minneapolis MN and a father from Oaxaca MX, from 64 to 68 our family lived in the heart of the city I have a desire to know more about this city, I remember many things. Form 68 to 71 our family moved to Ciudad Juarez Chihuahua and then from 71 to 75 lived in Monterrey MX, this was a magical city for me. My parents divorced in 1976 and I moved with my Mother to Minneapolis MN in 76 @ 12 years old not knowing the English language. I'm 54 now, and a gringo. I can totally relate to what you are going thru and you guys are very brave and amazing! you are young and so excited about life! I want to move back to Monterrey between November and March to be able to escape the brutal winters in Minneapolis MN. You guys have a great heart! wish you the very best in you ventures!
Go to Las fiestas de agosto in jalostotitlan. It's the heart of Los altos region; it's only hour and a half north east of guadalajara. The celebrations in the towns of Los altos are great and authentic to Mexican culture.... .many folk songs talk about this region. I encourage you to visit.
Wow. Excellent video. Valuable info. Thanks so much amigos.
So glad you found it valuable! That was our goal. 😄👍
I spend the summer in Cuernavaca and it was great. If you ever get the chance to go, please do. From there you can go to Xochitepec, clime to the pyramid in Tepoztlan and go to the magical town of Taxco. This are really old cities that have a lot of colonial and Mextica history. Plus they have great Mezcal in Taxco.
One of our subscribers lives in Cuernacava. We'd love to go there in the future. Sounds like it's quite diverse with lots of things to do. :) We'll definitely keep your tips in mind. Thanks, Alex!
Keep it real, thanks for your videos.
I'm really impressed about how often you guys seem to lose sunglasses.
We haven't lost any sunglasses while being in Mexico. What do you mean?
Sorry, it has been awhile, were we taking them off and putting them back on again a lot in this video?
Another great video, guys! I wonder if it's safe to assume there are lots of Spanish immersion classes down there though? (In Canada it's difficult to find Spanish lessons outside the major cities)
There’s a Sears there. I like Sears. They have some really great sales there.
Thanks for visiting Parque Metropolitano! I live 5 blocks away from there! :)
Would love to know where you are filming in Guadalajara. Looks like a tremendous huge park!
It’s metropolitan park
Did you really keep going up and down the escalators? that's so funny!
Haha yup! At least then, people were only staring weirdly at us from behind instead of all directions. 😳🙈😂
Love your videos. Where would be a good area if you have horses?
Probably just about anywhere! But unfortunately we've never had horses or payed much attention to that, so we couldn't answer that in an educated way
Thanks guys I’m learning a lot from your videos about Mexico the USA is getting expensive to live
It really is! It's terrible :/
Will you guys ever go to Mexico City? My wife and I visited a month ago and now we are in love. Plan to go back in October
We hope to visit there in the future, just not sure when. 😜 What do you guys like about CDMX?
FYI ...I still have my mirrored sunglasses from 1986ish.... Yours are almost exactly like the ones I loved back when I was 20 something.
Nice video, i think that living in other country is always a nice experience. You can expand your horizons, learn a lot, called it language, trying new food, political, history, etc. You will be leaving behind your fears when you travel.
I´m from Guadalajara and i´m working in Chicago in a temporary project. Hope you are enjoying Guadalajara. Visit Tlaquepaque and ¨Las nieves de Garrafa¨. Have you visited Tequila town? It´s worth it guys.
That Mexico is at the same time a very conservative country and a very liberal also. You can have a day that the heat exceeds the 40 degrees, while you can also experience snow in the winter in most northern states.
RSR it truly is a nation of contrasts 😄
Luis Zuñiga indeed
You guys are awesome congratulations for you nice Channell.. I'm a new subscriber
o forgot to tell you that I use one of those gas additives they sell at Pemex once in a while just to keep your injectors clean ,I don't do it at every fill up just once in a while just to clean keep up with injectors and piston surface .if you use the green color regular gas.the red is good but more expensive.
Do you know if those things are okay for hybrid cars? Our little Tangerine-mobile is a hybrid electric/gas and you can't use premium in it. Not sure about any other additives.
i like all your videos guys
You're so nice Emmanuel! Thank you :)
Benvenidos a su casa Mattie y Jordan!
Hello guys, I'm from Guadalajara, me and my wife love your videos and keep wondering if we may have the luck to meet you in person. One qq... are you going to establish yourself on Guadalajara?
This whole "positive thought" movement is dangerous and gets a lot of people into trouble . Thank you for keeping it real.
Can you talk about bringing pets (dogs) to Mexico and finding a place to live with a yard or a place they can go outside.
Absolutely! We made a full video dedicated to this. 😄 It’s #95
Tangerine Travels 95
Tangerine Travels #95
We’re planning on moving to Mexico in two years... My wife is from el D.F Mex. I’m from Va. and we’re ready to leave here and heading to Cholula, Puebla.
Without sounding condescending i strongly believe Mexico is for people who can be self sufficient, there a no handouts or “free” anything in Mexico pero eso si la gente es muy amigable y solidaria 💕 saludos desde California 🇺🇸
Nice videos weros..! I just subscribed... Saludos!
I go to Guadalajara every other weekend, I live in Orange County but my wife lives in Colima, colima. I can consider many places in Mexico for you to visit especially beaches have u been to barra de navidad? You must visit u will love it. Hope I can meet with u guys one of these days I go to Guadalajara, love your videos by the way
We haven't been to Barra de Navidad yet. It's definitely on our list of places we'd like to go :)
If you ever see us when you come down to GDL don't be afraid to say hello. :D Thanks for watching our videos Alvaro!
Tangerine Travels what part of Guadalajara you guys stay at or do most of ur videos?
Mostly between Chapultepec and Centro Magno
I'm retired. I have a small hobby farm (Little house on the Prairie kind of farm) in Arkansas (no animals right now because I'm considering moving-I do have two dogs and two cats). I'm learning Spanish. Because of terrible pain from degenerative osteoarthritis I prefer a not so rainy place. Weather around 72 degrees or more. I like to be in the country, but not too far from a hospital (I'm a veteran but I doubt there is a VA clinic nearby, lol) or stores. I love to be near any body of water, camping, fishing, hunting, horseback riding, cheap healthy street food. I'd like a simple small hobby farm in Mexico. I like to make goat cheese, and milk products, and I refurbish wood furniture, redo RVs, some car repair, so there are different things I can do to make a little more money or just trade/help with others. Last...to have some goats, sheep, chickens, horse, grow food. I'm fine being around more locals instead of around tourists. Any advice???? Thank you :)
Why don't you ask this in our public Facebook group so others can chime in and help you explore some options. facebook.com/groups/tangerinetravelsmexicogroup/
First comments, love your content.
I know everything in Mexico is diferent than The US but for me life seems more real in Mexico.
I just found your channel and watched all your videos in four days lol. My husband and I are thinking of maybe going to Mexico either for vacation or long term and I was wondering if you have seen how people travel around Mexico with a new baby. Do you see people with strollers or do they carry their baby or do they normally drive their own car? I love your videos!
Strollers are common in cities. In the pueblos you will see a lot of people just carrying babies with a shawl though they use strollers too. Most Mexicans think that big, elaborate baby backpacks are funny, except in the big cities.
People take their kids anywhere, literally anywhere, so it would be fine to travel with the little one if you bring the things you aren't sure you can get here.
Thanks for the input Nacho! We don't have kids (unless you count Laska that is lol) but it does seem much more common that people carry their babies in arm rather than in strollers. Depending on the city, the uneven/cobblestone sidewalks or streets would make having most strollers impossible. Hope this helps :)
Great videos! What were your jobs in the states?
Okay Tangerinis,Leslie from NYC,again my their retired poor lady from NYC, who expatted in SEAsia.for decades ...
I’m thinking about staying in mexico for a while. What do you guys do to earn money??
You have each other
Can you speak about bringing a car into Mexico , the temporary permit...
That’s coming up in detail in our next video. Stay tuned tomorrow!
Theres a lot of mix opinions, but you if you go ajiji chapala theres tons of retired canadians and americans you should definitely go to ajiji and make a video asking the retired how they feel with the change from U.S to Mexico. Ajiji I think is 2hrs from Guadalajara
That's an idea! We've been there once but would love to go back again and do some mini interviews or something.
u got a new fan
