Love the Brian humor. You’re supposed to post pictures of your food.
🤣🤣
I've been all over Mexico, but not there yet. We need to get over there. Mexico is a bit more pricey, but the food is so good!
The food is amazing and slightly different in each region! Thank you for watching!! 😀
Carrie, can you share your sandals? They must be very comfy because I see you wear them often. Thanks!
They are the best, been wearing them everyday for 3 years (replaced once). Here is our website with what's in our bags so you can see the exact style: www.brianandcarrietravels.com/shop-2-1
I am so happy you had such a great time in the magical city of Oaxaca. My spouse and I have visited twice for wonderful vacations. What is fabulous about Mexico is there are even more exciting places to visit! You will find the food up north is different, though equally delicious. And…eventually you will catch on that Mexican food isn’t quite what is served in “Mexican” restaurants in the United States-which I do like, but is really Texas Mex. I look forward to future videos in this amazing country.
Carrie, I am impressed with your Spanish pronunciations! Brian, you have some work to do! And you guys got robbed with those purchases (hat and skirt). I would’ve gotten it down to half price at least! Just kidding, it’s still a great price and Brian, you’re rocking that hat! You’re amongst my people, enjoy the real Mexican hospitality! Visiting Oaxaca is in our future plans
Enrique!! Nice to hear from you!! I think I have what's called a foreign language speech impediment! 🤣 I really wish I had learned Spanish when we were in high school. 😔
We just watched your video, next thing I know my wife says we won’t need a car when we’re there (I didn’t know we were going…). Sometimes selling a destination to my wife can be a challenge. Thanks and keep the videos coming!!!🎉
That's awesome!! You will not need a car! 😀 We will have a video next month about the bus services between cities. Good or bad.

Another excellent travel guide video! I've learned about places on this channel that I had never heard of (Brno is a good example) and this is one of those places. Question - is there a language barrier of any kind? Cheers!
Not as many English speaking native Mexicans as in places like Mexico City, Guadalajara, etc., so you will fare better with at least some simple Spanish. Also the translation apps for your mobile phone can break the barrier for basic needs.
Thank you! Yes, there is a language barrier in Oaxaca. But Flannelshirt is correct. Google Translate app works great and its free. The people are also very friendly, and you are able to get an understanding quickly.
Hope you're ok....saw hurricane near Mexico on the news in Australia 😱
We are! We have made our way to Mexico City. I'm more concerned about my daughter in Florida! 😳
On my list, we'll make it one day. Another great video!
Thank you, Janell! ❤️
Hello! How are you liking your Larq water bottles? We’re leaving soon for Europe and wondering if they’re worth the price and which one to get? Do you have an affiliate link?
Hi! We've used them daily now going on a year and absolutely love them. We went with the UV bottle and added the filter. They just released a new style that incorporates both, which is what we would get now. Here is the link (thank you for using it ☺️imp.i263265.net/g15ZX0
Cheers!!
@@BrianandCarrie thank you! Just ordered them. Safe travels!
I'll be there in 3 weeks. Looking forward to it!
You will have a great time!! Save your appetite and safe travels!!! 😁
You should not miss that museum by the church!
Thank you for the advice!!! 😊
Oaxaca os know for the food. Why not photos of a meal or two?
We did. You must have skipped that part. We also did a video last week with food as well. Thank you for watching.
Could you share photo and info on where to purchase the shoulder bag Brian uses?
Do you find it safe to walk around as single lady
Yes, and there is a really nice hostel there as well.
My wife and I are going to be in Oaxaca while you’re still there. Happy to buy you a beer in person 😊. Send me a PM if you’d like.
We just made our way to Mexico City. We would have loved to meet up.
@@BrianandCarrieAnd we’re in CDMX right now (Monday) but leaving on Tuesday. We’re also going to be in Puebla for a few weeks about 2 weeks from now…..
We arrived here in CDMX from Puebla. 😁
👍
Great video brought back many happy memories for me. I lived in Mexico for 3 years and Oaxaca was my favorite city. I hope you get to cross the mountains and see the coast also, it’s really beautiful.
We have tentative plans to explore the cost next spring. Thank you for watching!!! 😊
Keep working your way South. We'll be in Chile 1 Dec then maybe in Argentina end of December into January.
Buy you two a few beers.
Safe travels
Larry and Minnie
Hey guys! We will be heading your way mid to late January and will be interested in your recommendations! Safe travels and hope to catch up soon. 😊🍻
So of course I’ll give it a thumbs up. Haha. Always do! Really informative video once again. So sorry that our calendars didn’t sync. That was disappointing for sure. Anyway, keep doing what ya do guys! And Brian…your humor…love it!
Thank you!! 😁
Hopefully you’ll be there for Day of the Dead - an amazing experience. Also must see the outlying villages, each known for its own craft expertise. Disfrute
We will be in Merida for the Day of the Dead!! 😊💀
Looks like it’s a place for us to check out when we become nomad retirees Was wondering if you could do a video on what to pack for roaming travel 😊
We will be doing an updated packing video coming this November. 😀
April & May are the hottest months by far anywhere in the mountains of Mexico. July and August highs are similar to December and January.
Good to know! Thank you.
I was last in Oaxaca 12 years ago. I heard it has gotten more touristy in recent years, which was quite evident in your last two videos there. I've traveled all over the world and Mexico is still one of my favorite countries. I think psychologically being close to home (USA) and knowing some Spanish helps too. Thanks for the videos!
We are very much enjoying being in the same time zone as the US. Plus, the tacos!! 😉😁
Nice guide to Oaxaca. One other thing Oaxaca is known for is organized labor and, sadly, strikes. There is no Uber there because the Taxi union has successfully kept them out (sadly, with some violence) . When we were leaving Oaxaca our Taxi ride to the airport took 45 minutes because the driver had to take a convoluted route to avoid the streets blocked off due to a strike. Tlayudas absolutely rock!
Unfortunately, the Uber/Taxi disput is happening all over the world. Thayudas do Rock!! 🤘😃
Go to Cafe Alex and enjoy the fish and mole. Nice outdoor patio. True authentic Oaxacan food.
Thanks for the tip!
Thank you both for this great, more in-depth video of Oaxaca, and also for thinking of us female solo travelers - much appreciated! And now that I have watched to the very end: how sweet of you to support that young artist there, you picked a cute drawing! 👍🙏
WOW!! Thank you for watching to the end!! 😊We appreciate the support!! 🍻
I've never really considered Mexico previously, but now, I think it's on my radar!
You should consider Mexico!! Great food and kind people!!
You both look so happy:) Nice to see that in this crazy world... Happy Travels!
Thank you, Dan!!
Glad to see you’re enjoying your stay. I would have to go with someone if I ever go. I love those kinds of places and love street markets. My favorite city for street markets is Florence, Italy. I’d love the food for sure, Mexican food I’d never tire of, could eat tacos everyday.
We have experienced Florence and would agree that the markets are amazing!! Thank you for watching!! 😀
We love Oaxaca. We were there for 3 weeks last March and it was really hot!! 95 degrees most days. In the summer it starts cooling off with the arrival of the rainy season. A bit counter intuitive 😊
We had mostly sunny skies and 75 until the daily 5:00 downpour!!
The little kids don’t understand a word you’re saying! 🤣 But they understand “un peso, dos pesos “!
Money talks at any age!! 😂
What, Brian got an eSim?! 😂
Yes!! I'm a big boy now!!!
@BrianandCarrie that's what I thought. 🙄 I just watched your how to budget video, where you guys talked about a budget flight from N. Europe to JFK with no in air snacks. The "juice box" comment had both my hubby & I cracking up!!!!😂 We love you guys!
Loved the video tour, glad you’re enjoying México.
We are having a great time! Thank you for watching!! 😀
Love this video. Mexico is on our list for 2025 so we’re happy to follow your journey there. How long in total are you in Mexico and where are your next destinations there?
We will be in Mexico until mid-November and plan to visit Puebla, Mexico City, San Miguel, and Merida. We may add a stop along the way!! Thank you for all your support, Annett! 😊
sounds fabulous! Can’t wait to see all these places through your video. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us. 😊
Great video team. Loving the new format. Fascinating that Mexico is no longer that affordable. I had been expecting Turkey type costs.
It's really just the accommodations that costs are on the rise. Unfortunately, Türkiye are as well. Thank you, Andrea. 😊❤️
@@andreablack4573 One reason is that the federal government raised the minimum wage by 20% last January. So of course businesses have passed that increase in their labor costs on to the consumer.
Thanks for the great video! We are going to Oaxaca in January and were actually looking at that same apartment! Did you love it?
We liked it, it was in a great location and good for a week-long stay. You will have a great time! Happy travels!! 😊
@@BrianandCarrie Awesome! Thanks!
Love Oaxaca! The people, the food, the culture....it's got it all! Are you guys heading down to Oaxaca's southern coast to take advantage of their beautiful beaches?
We are not heading to the beaches this time. We decided to head north!! We may do a Mexico beach tour next year! Thank you for watching!! 😄
@@BrianandCarrie I would def recommend it, but, you guys know what is best for you. :) I'm hoping to travel full-time at some point in the future so your content is very helpful to me, and others, so thanks for doing it!
What a fantastic place. Your info was great
Thank you, Joanne! ❤️
Absolutely beautiful and stunning! I'm a sucker for kids selling handmade art! I will 100% be carrying LOTS of change for the kids! 🥰🥰🥰
You'd love it there... All the bright colors and plenty of kiddos art to pick from ❤️. Miss you 😘
Oaxaca is high on my list of places to visit in Mexico. I have been to several destinations in Mexico and just love it. I will be in Cabo and Puerto Vallarta in November. Look forward to following your Mexico series!
Hi, Jeff! It looks like you have a channel going as well!! Very cool!! Thank you for commenting and keep your videos coming!!
Cheers!! 🍻
@BrianandCarrie Yes, I do but have been very inconsistent with it, but I am trying to take it more seriously. I have several trips planned between now and the end of the year. I'm 45 and want to be traveling full time in 2 years. I am hoping UA-cam helps me get to the monthly budget.
We think that being consistent is the key to success, which is hard to do when you aren't traveling full time.
@@BrianandCarrie ain't that the truth, lol.
Hello Brian and Carrie, my husband can't stop watching your videos. Question: We are going to be traveling full-time as retirees. We are starting in Europe. We bought our backpacks, etc. The question is HOW DO WE BEGIN?!!!! lol We don't know anything about going from place to place with a very limited budget...airbnbs, hotels, trains, buses, planes. It is quite daunting to say the least. It is kind of discouraging. ( our main concern is getting from one place to another and we would like to be spontaneous in our travel, not booking way in advance) Can you help?
Don't get discouraged, Linda! 😊 I would start by booking your first accommodation and learn the bus and train systems as you go. Just look at it as an adventure!! 😁
Great video & hope to see you in Mexico soon! I arrive in CDMX 10/4. Will you be traveling to CDMX?
I had a terrible stomach virus twice in CDMX last fall even though I'm vegan and rarely ate street food the month I was there. I saw on one of your other videos that you both got the typhoid vaccine. I'm going to try to get the typhoid vaccine before I arrive even though it costs $189 in my area and insurance does not cover it.
Have you been using the Larq Bottle PureVis in Oaxaca without any problems? You look so happy, Carrie, so I hope we get a chance to meet in Mexico!
We have been using our bottles, but they also have large, bottled water for very inexpensive. Unfortunately, we will be gone before the 4th. Happy and safe travels!! ❤️😊
