Question...I am a 32 yo guy, born and raised in Mexico City. I got a big concern and a comment. Why would you guys accept to lease a 1200 USD at roma norte, for a 1 bd place? Those prices are NOT wat Mexico city has been, used to be. My impression is that foreigners, unkowingly, go for those prices as if it where some sort of great deal, when leases in Mexcio are way cheaper in average. I would suggest for all foreigner to do their research and refrain from accepting such prices, because the only thing you guys are doing is ramping up the prices for the rest of us, who live on mexican currency and Mexican wages, meaning that you will gentrify our city. I would much appreciate your take on this matter. Thank you
because they do not really understand where they are. They could have told some truth. Puebla, Monterrey, Queretaro, San Luis POtosi are way bettter to live in....
the Mexican government is also at fault for making it super easy for foreigners to live and work in Mexico … You think the US Government reciprocates with the same access to Mexicans in the US? Of course not! There should be massive round ups and fast track deportations for foreigners living in Mexico … especially for Americans
Request that your local government set rental price limits as law. But I think the local government in Mexico city won't want to because it's benefitting from the gentrification through increased tax revenue and revitalization of many buildings.
@Kai Ikaika I invite you to come to Mexico City and chat with my expat friends from New York. They'll do a much better job at telling you why NYC is no longer the greatest city in the world and why they will never return even if things go back to how they were before Covid.
Before the pandemic, I visited CDMX two-to-four times a year for business with varying lengths of two-weeks to a month. I have stayed in multiple parts of CDMX. Nowadays I typically stay in Bonito Juarez and walk to Coyoacan. I walk a few kilometers in the viveros and get a coffee on the way back before breakfast. There are many cafes in Coyoacan for lunch and dinner. I use CDMX as my base to visit other parts of Mexico as well. No matter where you go, the people and the food are the best. My Spanish is terrible because everyone I meet wants to practice English.
(Im mexican sorry for my terrible english) At 1 square to reforma its other zone so dangerous at that zones you found a lot of Robers and in all of places of mexico city dont go to that parts the goberment dont put money in that places that you can survive 1 month with 100 dolars that “cafes” are so expensive you can do it in your house for 100 times less its bonito mexico but exist a lot of inequality and that is why the country will never progress
Love the quality of your videos guys!, beautiful scenes and your information is straight forward, 10 of 10!, you guys make CDMX look like it is, BEAUTIFUL!! Congrats for your achievements in 2021 and Wish you the best in 2022 Happy New Year!! ;)
Hey Guys, a question I have is with the population being 33 MILLION people, how is the noise pollution? I lived in Lima and it was constant honking of the horn or construction sounds, thanks!
You guys should check out the newly added 4th section of Chapultepec Park. Accessibility is limited right now as you can pretty much only go there by car/Uber but that’s gonna change soon with the new Mexico-Toluca intercity train that will have a stop there (Estación Vasco de Quiroga) as well as a cable car that serves all four sections. Great video as always!! 💜💙💚💛🧡❤️
Guys, the subway of mexico city is horrible!!! . Ever had a ride there? Dirty, obsolete and not navigable..... simply unfriendly. this is for the start . Talk one day about their airport.....
Queremos hacerle justicia a un video sobre opciones veganas entonces aún no lo hacemos pero sin duda recomendamos 1. Los Loosers 2. Plantasia 3. Ojo de Maíz Para tacos están: Gracias Madre y Por Siempre Para pan o desayuno: Vegamo y Café Vegetal. La verdad hay muchas opciones en toda la ciudad pero nosotros casi solo vamos a los que están por la Roma/Condesa por la cercanía pero también vale la pena checar otros como Pali Pali, Na Tlali y Mi Dulce Jacalito!

People who watch this have to take into consideration that the average Mexican cannot live this life style. The average person makes about $500 usd a month or less . So they would not be able to live on this side of town. Therefore, this is a perspective from someone making US dollars, living in the very rich part of Mexico City, that not everyone can afford. Or someone who is very well off in Mexico. But Mexico is still way better than NYC! :)
Amazing city. Cheap for foreigners but it seems expensive for Mexicans. 50$ for gym, 1200 for one bedroom apartment...i know that apartment can be cheaper but still if you want nice looking two bedroom apartment it's gonna cost you 1000$...and for salaries in Mexico that is crazy expensive...on the other hand apartments are cheap to buy
It's certainly not considered cheap but most people by far at our gym are Mexican and most people paying those prices for rent are Mexican too. Just a reminder because sometimes people think that it's only foreigners paying those prices.
@@sergtana The Mexican people who go to your gym is because they are "rich", when for you it is something that you can easily pay for without considering yourself rich
$1200 for that small apartment is a ripoff! Im paying 400 for a 1 b 1b in the same area, what you are gonna do is that landlords gonna star rising the rent price cause you think 1200 is cheap or fair or whatever, cause you pay more than 2K in LA or NYC, please please if you came to live here in CDMX don't accept to pay that much just because you can, its not fair for us and then the only people who is gonna be able to afford to live here are foreigners and guess what? Mexicans are going to start to hating you.
1200 is not even cheap, in NYC you can get a decent one bed for 2000 and obviously when you convert to pesos 1200 is a lot. I'm an NYC native been living in South Africa for 7 years. Friends that visit always say how cheap it is here (because of the currency exchange) but when you earn local currency it is actually very expensive to live here.
I think we’d probably love retiring to Mexico City. The reason we will probably end up in a different city may just be cost. We are going to start in Queretaro, then also live for a few months in Morelia, Puebla, Guanajuato, Oaxaca, and San Cristobal de las casas. We speak Spanish, don’t really want to live around a lot of expats, prefer cool weather, and have lived abroad before. We will retire before we are old enough to receive Social Security, so everything will be out of pocket for a few months and we prefer not to keep working. And my self care is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, so a good school will play a big part of our choice. Mexico City has a great school. I guess it is just the higher rent cost that may nudge us to a different city. Thx for the great videos !
Mexico city is very expensive but if money is not the problem you will happy to live here! Queretaro is one of the safest states in Mexico, is not expensive but is a small city, fells more like a town than a city, I do not recommend guanajuato, is not safe.
Dont' do that. You shouldn't move here due to crime and corruption. In Queretaro due to the arrival to more and more people is lacking of water services, crime is increasing, traffic is getting worse and search about what happened in March 5th, in the Corregidora Stadium. Stay in the U.S
you shouldn't move here to Mexico. Drug cartels, crime, corruption, etc. The situation here is getting harde and harder. If you want to live, go back to U.S.
Great video! I just spent some time in CDMX… I fell in love! Being a nomad since 2018 I haven’t felt that way anywhere that feels sustainable for long term living. In terms of looking for long term apartment rentals, what do you recommend? I’m looking for 6 months to 1 year. Thank you in advance!
Aww I'm sorry :( I'm sure the areas in the west are better due to more trees and the fact that they're not in the valley but they're also not as cool and a bit more pretentious.
Hi! I’m traveling to Mexico City next month and one thing on my list is to take one of those boat tours and I’d love to add the organic farm dinner onto the experience. How would I go about finding that or booking it?
Hi! Great idea! The organic farm's name is Arca Tierra, if you search for that you'll find their website where you can see the events that they have scheduled.
Them: Here's what it's like living in Mexico City! **chooses most desirable place to live, takes zero risks** Natural Born Citizens: Here's what it's like living in Mexico City! **dies from looking at someone the wrong way**
I was born and raised in Mexico City and I didn't die for looking at someone the wrong way, every city has its bad side including L.A New York, etc. You really have the wrong stereotype of the city.
@@oscarconde2516 Then you're not very knowledgeable about your own city. Statistics say it's the most dangerous city in Mexico with a substantially high crime and murder rate.
@@jinx4163 So it's Compton in LA And Detroit, Memphis, etc. every city has its own place where you shouldn't walk at night, but dying by looking at someone in the wrong way is just ignorant.
Please reconsider moving to CDMX given the higher prices due to foreigners, especially Americans moving in. This is a prime example of gentrification, and although people here will probably be nice to you they are also being directly affected by people from richer countries directly raising prices of everyday life and pushing rent higher than locals can afford. Thw funny thing is that most people moving here are the ones that complain of immigrants in their own countries. Food for thought
Wooow. Aws video shot! Which product did you use while shooting the video? And of course i’m wondering which edit programs did you use? It’s really amazing 😍
No offence and feel free not to answer if it feels rude, but were either of your families originally from Latin America (One of you looks really Indian to me, but that's perhaps just me being parochial haha)? How did you find the experience of learning Spanish and negotiate the initial culture shock (if there was any)? I plan to move to Mexico City and your videos have really warmed me up to the place :-) Thanks a million!
Sometimes I get an urge leave the US and live in CDMX, but the only thing stopping me is work. I don’t know what I’d do. I graduated 2020 but with the pandemic and the fact that I didn’t know what to study, I didn’t go to college. 2022 and I still don’t know if I should go back. Either way, I don’t have a degree and I don’t know what jobs you can do online that require no experience or degrees.
Another great video, brought us back to last month when we were in CDMX. We were excited to see the first restaurant we ate at in Mexico, Ojo de Maiz. Very tasty and vegan! We really do love Mexico and your videos have been instrumental in helping us explore this great country! Thanks for all you do. We can’t wait to go back and explore more that Mexico has to offer.
I’m just curious-is the wifi over there reliable enough to where you can do video calls all day without issues? (My job requires a full day order video calls)
I flew solo from LA to visit a specific museum and to my suprise--it was as big as LA and just as varied!!! Im moving to Mexico City feb2023. I work in tech so its easy. Im trying to figure out how not to gentrify….
Great video that covered all the most important topics when considering a move to this city! Thank you guys, we are also moving to Mexico and trying to narrow down what city is best for us! That being said this was very insightful👍
Can I ask if you all work remotely for a US company or a Mexican company? I work remotely presently and I'm not sure what it would look like to move to Mexico (or if my company will allow it). I'd also be open to taking a new remote position with a Mexican company, do you all have any resources on that? Thank you for the video, it has been incredibly helpful!
I just love how well you both expressed yourselves while explaining the different advantages of living in Mexico on a personal note. Obviously not everyone has the same experiences, but it doesn't hurt to try something different. Best of luck to you guys! I'm proud of your accomplishments. From a Mexican1st, then American.
they talked just about advantages but no disadvantages . Obviously this naive couple never put their noses out of their fancy Roma Norte and never really took a ride in "good" subway (cheap though). Just pathetic.....
Mexico City is amazing! I originally intended on relocating to CDMX during 2020, but I opted for Merida due to the uncertainty of the pandemic. I ended up visiting CDMX last August for the first time and fell in love. Now that I've established a home base in Merida, I hope to spend more time in Mexico City when it gets too hot Merida.
Just for general knowledge, if you live in Mexico, probably you’re not just as a tourist, you’re an inmigrant (not an Expatriate) and you should pay taxes in Mexico too! 😅 and of course get your papers in order for avoiding living as an illegal! 😂
@@juanuribe54 there’d a reason why Mexico stayed open during the pandemic. They rely heavily on tourist dollars. What do most people do for their own community when living in their native born country? The answer: not much. We can all donate and volunteer to organizations that resonate with us. Do you ask Mexicans living in the US what they do for their community? We are a global world.
@@LaurenIrick “illegal Mexicans” contribute so much to the US and yet white Ukrainians with colored eyes are waltzing their way into the US on refuge but Hispanics are still waiting (YEARS/DECADES) until their case is heard and Ukrainians never paid a tax dollar in the US in their entire life. Tell me how that makes any sense. You live in Mexico right now?
@@juanuribe54 i never said illegal Mexicans. Question applies to those that immigrated, have visas, or may be staying illegally. Yup. Currently in Mexico learning Spanish. Learning about culture, shopping locally, interesting as much as possible. I donate to various organizations of all types. (One recently was Mexican) so my life is about the same community wise which still asks my question “what are Mexicans in the USA doing for “the community”” or “what do you expect expats to do?” I certainly don’t expect Mexicans moving to the states to do anything additional. It’s a global world. Also, being a refugee is quite different than wanting to move. Sweden, Germany, and Lebanon are all going to take refugee status before they take me.

I'd also be open to taking a new remote position with a Mexican company, do you all have any resources on that?
Thank you for the video, it has been incredibly helpful!
I freelance in the US and plan to move there in about two years after I save a little more money. Most Americans there work for US companies
Damn I pay less for my apartment in miami
I think it will be than Belize!
hunger games is real
Can’t wait to eat plantasia again in February
You should visit Culiacan, Juarez, or Reynosa, those are lovely and nice citys 🤩🤩🤩
😂😂😂
I just love how well you both expressed yourselves while explaining the different advantages of living in Mexico on a personal note. Obviously not everyone has the same experiences, but it doesn't hurt to try something different. Best of luck to you guys! I'm proud of your accomplishments. From a Mexican1st, then American.
they talked just about advantages but no disadvantages . Obviously this naive couple never put their noses out of their fancy Roma Norte and never really took a ride in "good" subway (cheap though). Just pathetic.....
Great video!! Could you tell where you booked the mushroom meal at the lake? Looked so cool!
That was at Arca Tierra. They have multiple events in Xochimilco. One of the best things we've ever done in Mexico City
How much do tele jobs usually pay for being in Mexico?
Aprox 9000 dollars per year is a lot for a mexican job i won 5000 dollars per jear in my actual Job (im mexican)
In average jobs it's just 300-500 dollars PER MONTH.

Mexico City is amazing! I originally intended on relocating to CDMX during 2020, but I opted for Merida due to the uncertainty of the pandemic. I ended up visiting CDMX last August for the first time and fell in love. Now that I've established a home base in Merida, I hope to spend more time in Mexico City when it gets too hot Merida.
The cheapest flight going out of Merida is CDMX, it is easy to go there for the weekend if you buy your plane tickets one or 2 months prior.
Just for general knowledge, if you live in Mexico, probably you’re not just as a tourist, you’re an inmigrant (not an Expatriate) and you should pay taxes in Mexico too! 😅 and of course get your papers in order for avoiding living as an illegal! 😂
What do you guys do to help the community? Or are you immigrants just leaching off of them?
Putting money into the economy on a daily basis
@@LaurenIrick thats y’all favorite line to say every time when asked that question huh. I’ve yet to hear something honest.
@@juanuribe54 there’d a reason why Mexico stayed open during the pandemic. They rely heavily on tourist dollars. What do most people do for their own community when living in their native born country? The answer: not much. We can all donate and volunteer to organizations that resonate with us. Do you ask Mexicans living in the US what they do for their community? We are a global world.
@@LaurenIrick “illegal Mexicans” contribute so much to the US and yet white Ukrainians with colored eyes are waltzing their way into the US on refuge but Hispanics are still waiting (YEARS/DECADES) until their case is heard and Ukrainians never paid a tax dollar in the US in their entire life. Tell me how that makes any sense. You live in Mexico right now?
@@juanuribe54 i never said illegal Mexicans. Question applies to those that immigrated, have visas, or may be staying illegally. Yup. Currently in Mexico learning Spanish. Learning about culture, shopping locally, interesting as much as possible. I donate to various organizations of all types. (One recently was Mexican) so my life is about the same community wise which still asks my question “what are Mexicans in the USA doing for “the community”” or “what do you expect expats to do?” I certainly don’t expect Mexicans moving to the states to do anything additional. It’s a global world. Also, being a refugee is quite different than wanting to move. Sweden, Germany, and Lebanon are all going to take refugee status before they take me.
