You are lucky to have bought ina posher neighborhood...I am really rethinking returning to PV ...due to rental costs...I also felt digital nomads..really bring up costs .as lucky them ...they have the best of both worlds..... .I agree you need to be mobile to be in PV...or plan to get fit..all the best
Thank You. Very informative. But with new knees Right 2 yrs ago , Left Jan 30 I think I'll avoid cobblestone streets as much as possible. So I'm thinking go bother Brighton in La Paz area. However I think we will need to visit it in the summer to find out what temp. we Canadians melt at. Keep those videos coming and How is Dad ?
Thank you both. I very much appreciate all the info. PV is on my radar for the future. Do you have a realtor for home (not condo) buying, with whom you have had a good experience? Gringo Gulch area is one area I like. I'm into authentic Mexican, no modern. 😊 TY
Great video, I’ve had these concern’s. I’ve heard that furniture is very expensive down there. Is there any problem with bringing your own into Mexico?
Have you ever lived here? Are you renting or buying? Do you know where you are planning to live? Is it for a short time or for a long term? Have you gotten any estimates on the what it would cost you to ship things down here along with their possible import fees? How much is the stuff you want to bring honestly worth? Do you have a Permanent Residence Visa or a Temporary Resident Visa? With a P.R. Visa you would have to pay an import fee for your car that may not be worth it and sell it instead. With a T.R. Visa you can drive your foreign plated vehicle down here for up to four years and pack it with just the essentials and sell or give away everything else. You could even buy a trailer to bring more stuff down if you really wanted to. Me? I gave away or sold most of my stuff and just packed my car with the things I wanted to keep. Only you can figure out the cost/benefit. So what if you have have to pay a few bucks more for some new custom made furniture. You might need some new stuff anyway. BTW- You can get some really nice furniture here for a good price that will fit in with your new lifestyle. I recently bought a beautiful natural finished hand made wooden slab dining room table with burl wood legs for less than $400us. In the US it would have cost easily two to three times that much! For a few thousand dollars you can get enough new furniture for smaller home and avoid the headaches and pitfalls of trying to bring a bunch of stuff down with you. Buena suerte!
Thank you for your perspective. A lot of good information. We have been going to Merida for a few years and will be moving there. Yes we know it’s hot there 😆 We do plan on buying a house and we know the areas we like. Thank you for the video.
Ada has her own wellness business both brick and mortar and online. I (Stefan) am a consultant which allows for some flexibility. We have a daughter just graduation High School & with work this keeps us in the US, but the work also allows us to come down often. It took a bit of time to work in places where others vacation, but we’ve got it handled. 🤗
@@LivingSimplyinMexico good to hear you guys are making it work. I know a lot of tech workers can easily do this, are you in the tech/software industry, or some other vertical?
@@Geor197 Consider looking at normal job boards that are 100% remote in your area of expertise. You may also simply start your own business online - plenty of options based on your unique interests!
Thanks for sharing!

Dad is doing well, but still recovering a bit. Definitely go hassle Brighton for us… He is a great guy!
@@LivingSimplyinMexico 10/4. Tell your Dad to get better NOW.

Great video, I’ve had these concern’s. I’ve heard that furniture is very expensive down there. Is there any problem with bringing your own into Mexico?
You can, but be very selective what you bring to fit the environment. ❤️

Hola, what kind of work do you two do, and is it easy to balance work between Mexico and the USA?

What's with all the dogs barking down in Mexico at seems very annoying like they don't take care of their dogs. I don't understand this.
Noise is part of Mexico… and when the noise happens, the dogs follow!
