  • Spend a Sunday in Merida with us! This week we're taking you along as we head to a Vegan Expo event held at the Rotary Club in Merida, Mexico. We're so glad a subscriber tipped us off to this event, because it was so great seeing so many plant-based vendors selling such delicious food! After the Expo, we headed to a nearby bank to pay our landlord with a bank transfer, which is an easy (and very common) way to pay your bills when you're living in Mexico!

    My husband and I just came across your channel because we’ve been studying up on Merida, (planning to visit soon) so sad y’all already left before we found you. We are both vegan so was very excited to see some of your videos showcasing vegan food and things to do. Did you meet many other vegans living in that area?

    Just came through to hit the like button and discovered the CNBC video. Interesting! We've planned on retiring in mexico for many years. As we get closer, we watch these changes with anxiety. Not sure if it's a good or bad thing it's seems to be getting more popular. Unfortunately, we still have a least three years to wait. 😥

    Thx for sharing. Looking forward to stumbling in gems like these. I’m not fully vegan, but I don’t eat most meats… and i kind of have a cheese fetish, so going fully vegan sounds a little tough. But i definitely love to try lots of yummy plant based products & meals. Just curious, being pride weekend in LA, are there any pride things going on there this weekend? Maybe that’s another video I haven’t seen. I’m sure Mexico City probably goes off.

    Curious... could you pay with your debit card at the atm? Or does it only allow cash deposits?

      We're pretty sure it's just cash deposits, unless you have a Mexican debit card then we believe you can do transfers directly from your account.

      oooo we're down for ANYTHING sweet potato! That sounds delish! We're not sure what they made the tacos from at the expo - although someone did tell us they get their "meat" from Mexico City and because it's so good they always sell out super quickly! Which we believe because we ate those two and then immediately wanted like 8 more 😬😂

    Sooo, can you do a bank transfer from your bank account to the landlord's bank account directly? So no cash that you would have to withdraw(which costs cause we don't have anything like Charles Schwab).
    Not a vegan but a flexitarian, food looked great.🌮

      I was going to ask the same thing. I have a friend in Spain that pays his rent this way. He does an automatic transfer of money he has has in Wise (formerly known as Transferwise) to the landlord’s bank account using the recipient’s IBAN number. In fact that same friend says all of his bills are “domiciliadas” - that is they are all deducted monthly automatically from the electric company etc.

      @goldvideo 2 роки тому

      @@ellisrose8017 Yes, rents aren't allowed to be domiciliados in Spain either. As far as transferring money, since getting a Mexican bank account is very difficult (due to needing an RFC - Clave en el Registro Federal de Contribuyentes), why not use Wise (aka Transferwise)? Just open up an account in Mexican Pesos, and then you'll easily be able to do a transfer as long as you have the landlord's banking info. Pan comido (easy peasy).
