    Movies are the reason ppl think Mexico is so dangerous. This was a nice presentation. I'm a new viewer and considering Guadalajara for myself and my teen son. I previously saw information about the neighborhoods, so it was great to almost hear her confirmation of that info. I work from home, but in my current role, it had to be from the US. So, finding work from anywhere is something I'm working on.

    I visited Guadalajara for the first time a few months ago when I was living in Merida and I immediately fell in love🥰 I was staying in Providencia and absolutely everything was in walking distance and I swear there was a park with every step that I took which was a stark contrast to Merida. I think it depends on where in Guadalajara you stay. I went to Mexico City next and I loved it but my heart was still in Guadalajara. I hope move there next year

    Alexis is gorgeous and smart . However, I don't understand how she makes a living. I wish she would be more upfront with the numbers. How does she live such a luxurious life without a steady income? How much does she pay for rent? Is it just military income or does instagram pay so well? I'm thinking of leaving my job I just want to know if its feasible.

      ​@@youtubetroller4692 If you make $3,800 in USD a month that is $71,342.70 a month in Mexican Pesos and 89,684,082.93 in Vietnamese Dong. You can find NICE housing in both places for about $500.00 USD a month, internet is $25 USD, electricity about $25-35 USD and most water is free so you do the math. You can live pretty good in these places on $3,800 a month. Plus if she has a work from home freelance job, internet model or only fans you can live pretty good.

    1:15:22, instead of "crujiente" for crispy, use "bien cocido" or "bien tostado". I recommend learning Spanish from Mexico bc some words in other Spanish countries are bad words in mexico and alot of words are not used in mexico and vice-versa. Mexico Spanish is mixed with nahuatl, language of the aztecs, so if your going to live in México it may be a better idea. Also in Argentina they use the words "voz, vosotros" for "tu, Ustedes", meaning "you, you guys", and they conjugate verbs very differently such as "podeis" instead of "puedes", etc. Spanish is different depending on the country.

      @@kem1233 this is what I understand, its deeper than that:
      "sos" is the second person singular of "ser" (be, to be) that corresponds to the pronoun "vos" and "eres" (are, you are) corresponds to "tú". "Vos" is used mainly in some regions of Argentina and Uruguay, although it is also used in small areas of other Latin American Countries. Places such as in Guatemala, Nicaragua, etc.
