Why I Love San Jose Del Cabo
Вставка

- Living in San Jose Del Cabo has been one of the best things I've done in the last year. While it may not be my permanent home, there is a lot that I love about this little slice of paradise in Baja California Sur.

Me and my boyfriend are moving to San Jose Del Cabo June 1st! I quit my 9-5 job and we’re just going for it. I’m from Norway and he is from California! I've been watching your videos for a while now and I am so excited to experience and explore this beautiful place and learn all about the culture!❤️
Welcome !!
@@LuisRivera-qu1el Thank you!
Velkommen Isabel
@@jongabrielsen3868 Tusen takk! Bor du i San Jose nå?
@@isabelgulbrandsen438 Ja, ved siden av La Comer for 4+ ars - Jeg er firste generacion Norsk-Amerikanst - Mexicano
2:32 Look at those beautiful bike lanes.
Looking more and more like that is the first place we are going to visit once we are comfortable getting on planes again - their Tourism board should be paying you:)
Unbelievable how clean that town is
It's so lovely and clean!
@@laura-bronner It’s almost shockingly clean. For any city anywhere
I was born in jalisco.. raised in the states. Parents took us back for summer as children and it stopped. Mom was arizonian.. I traveled there again as a 28 year old, after that marriage and raised children plus career.. now in my 60s I love hanging out in Mexico being retired. But on the other hand, I breakdown my travels to include Europe..I'll stay for a month or so and move on to another country.. love Malaga , Belgium, Middle East and so on... but thats me.. can't stay anywhere for long other than the states.
Thanks Laura for continuing to post videos about Los Cabos. You have shone a spot light on why we love San Jose del Cabo. We are blessed to live where we do here in Canada, but your video reminds us why we miss San Jose even more.
Hit the nail on the head with this one!
Appreciate you guys!
My husband and I are moving to San Jose del Cabo the end of this year and love this video. We have never been there and found this video very helpful. We are getting so excited to be there. Maybe we will see you there and have drink. We plan to be there in May to complete our visa process. And hopefully find an apartment area we can move to the end of the year.
Thanks for showing the Marina. Wanted to see that. Really enjoy your positive attitude.
Lovely and upbeat as always. Thanks!
I'm so happy for you that you enjoy San Jose del Cabo as much as I do.
I love the video. I just spent 2 weeks in Los Barriles and I am in love with Baja. I have never felt so at home anywhere I have went on vacation. Now to make it permanent.
Thanks for your post, I really appreciate your comments but I’m a little bit concerned about the South Florida type climate there. Here in Southwest, (Arizona) you’re pretty much held hostage and confined to the AC six months out of every year because of the stifling dry heat but then you add humidity and I am uncertain if it would work for me there?
Cabo San Lucas is amazing! Todos Santos is close you should visit that pueblo magico.
Thank you for the video. I am planning to retire and move to Mexico. I have narrowed it down to La Paz, Todos Santos, and San Jose del Cabo. The more I think about it, the more SJDC tops the list. This video really helps. Thank you so much.
Visited there this April and fell love with San Jose del Cabo too! Wonderful, kind hearted people😊
The plethora of options (in food) and the then the views of all the different tacos. Gotta love it! Excellent vid. I can see you living there.
Lovely video. We will be there very soon. Looking forward to it....
Great video laura !! Keep up the good work
Hola!!! Definitivamente te miro enamorada 🤩 si enamorada de México, su comida, sabores, cultura, colores y gente y creo que ya perteneces a México y también México ya es tuyo y que va a ser muy difícil irte.
Such a quaint little town. We are really looking forward to seeing it in person during our Baja travels.
Beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing!
Excellent footage 👍🏾. I can totally see why are enchanted with life there.
Nice clip, Cabo has a different vibe to the rest of Mexico
Do you know the rest of Mexico?
Love your posts and love the whole Cabo area.
Wow, you're making me want to move there. Thanks for the videos!
This sounds good. I've been to Mexico a few times. It all sounds good but it all the same everywhere you go. Been to one beach town you've been to them all.
Your UA-cams have been so helpful, thank you! My husband and I decided to come to San Jose and La Paz after watching your videos.
That’s so wonderful! Let me know if you have any questions before your trip!
Laura, I always appreciate your description of what you love. You have such a way of pulling someone in and really wanting to listen. I have lately been interested in this place. Of course like you I love La Paz and it seems fairly similar. Sounds like an ideal climate. Not too hot! 🦀🌺🐟🌴🙂
Thanks so much, Mike. I'm so glad you enjoy the videos and the storytelling :) San Jose is definitely worth checking out if you love La Paz!
Oh my gosh, you’re making me so hungry. Thanks for a peek of San Jose Del Cabo 😎. Hope I’m allowed to travel soon.
Awesome. Thanks, guys!
Enjoyed ... and some sage wisdom towards the end, there 👍 ... thanks!
We have only experienced Mexico through the all inclusive resorts but watching your great videos we are now ready to take the plunge and step outside the box. Thank you.
That’s so lovely I’m so glad I could share how lovely this country is and inspire you to explore it a bit more!
June cannot get here fast enough!
You are right about the people. I have not seen too much of Mexico but my experience on 2 short visits has been very positive. I even got to joke around with the soldiers at a military checkpoint on carretera 1 north of Loreto.
Gracias por tus bonitos vídeos.
Your videos have helped me decide between La Paz and San Jose del Cabo and SJC won! I've subscribed to the SC Newsletter and I've learned much about the local housing market and environmental issues, but to hear a non native speak so highly of where they are currently living means a lot as someone who has traveled the world you've described the exact sense of community I'm seeking. Yes it is unreasonable to expect any one and/or any place to be perfect, but one can hope for 7 out of 10.
What did you like more about SJC than La Paz? I have been considering moving to La Paz myself.
Link to newsletter?
Cool! I’m looking forward to exploring BCS
Every time I watch one of your vids and see that square...I think, "maybe the heat wouldn't be too bad??". And checking the weather often down there, it doesn't seem bad at all!
I ♥️ Los Cabos! Going again next week ✈️
It looks perfect to me
Thanks - love this and all your videos! Like others, you've inspired me to step outside the resort box! We'll be in an Airbnb in San Jose in a couple weeks. We're planning on the art walk, estuary, some of the food you've recommended and a trip up to Los Barrilos. Anything else we shouldn't miss? Can't wait!
If you like nature, a day out at fox canyon is great too! ua-cam.com/video/NWHtm1Y-nSc/v-deo.html
Hi Laura! You mentioned that there is a great variety in food cuisine. Any idea how easy vegan fare is to come by?
So excited to check out the scene there in SJC in mid-June-possibly to live at least as long as possible on tourist card. So glad you talked about weather too for upcoming summer. As always loving hearing your thoughts and about experiences there❣️
There are a few vegan specific restaurants (mi vegan favorito in town and CHULA vegan café closer to the hotel zone are both popular). There are a decent amount of vegetarian dishes on menus in most restaurants that I assume could easily be turned into vegan dishes if ask for with cheese.
Me dejaron de tarea ver este video, ¡espero pronto conocer San José del cabo!
I'm ready to find my way🥰🙏
People seem to be living pretty normally. :-) It was wonderful to watch this and not see everyone traipsing around in masks.
Love your videos!!!
We will be there in May!!!!!😁
What’s your favorite restaurant in San Jose Del Cabo?
Love San Jose Del Cabo. Are they still doing the art walk on Thursdays?
Aka CharlieB outta Dobbs Ferry N.Y. Thanks for the Vid's Laura🍓
We'll be there next week! Looking forward to dinner again at Mi Cocina (Casa Natalia). Been going there for many years. Much prefer San Jose to CSL.
I've from Cali and have been down as far as to Lorreto.
Headed to Cabo on Saturday. Your vids have been soooooo very helpful. Looking forward to spending a good amount of time in San Jose Del Cabo. Question....you mentioned the East Cape. Is there a specific way to get to them? We are renting a Wrangler and that would be the PERFECT ride and destination. Any help would be....helpful. Thanx and we really enjoy your videos!
Cool video! You'll have to give us an update on this "ideal climate" in July, August, and September. 😄🥵
haha I'll be long gone by then - you don't make the mistake of staying by the beach in Mexico in the summer months twice!
@@laura-bronner, Ensenada should be nice in the summer.
Lovely vlog! Random question - the paletas, aguas frescas, raspadas from street vendors - do they use "bottled" water for these? How do you know? Just would love to try them all but want to be safe eating/drinking... Thanks!
I like that you don’t need a car in San Jose del Cabo, so we’re thinking of visiting. Is there something you ended up disliking that made you leave? Or do you just leave everywhere every few months? Thanks for the videos.
Hola Laura
The Town looks very kindly and the food delicious.
What would you recommend to stay for a visit a hotel, hostal or rbn ? Lets say one week.
Nice video too.
🌸
😷
I would only add that we would love to know the names of the restaurants and bars that you do such a good job of presenting. thank you.
I've written extensively about the best restaurants in San Jose here: www.eternal-expat.com/2021/03/18/best-restaurants-in-san-jose-del-cabo/ Hope that helps!
My wife and I love in LA and often thought about driving down to Cabo, but I hear so many warnings about cartel she's afraid to go. What's up with that, you seem to be having a blast.
Hi 👋
Do you have a video on visas? Mind sharing what visa your on?
Love San Jose. Would really like to retire there...2 more years!
Thank you!
What is an approximate estimate of cost to have a good life there?
Do you see yourself living there year round? Isn't it too hot in the summer?
I’ve been looking at so many videos of Puerto Vallarta, and everyone seems to live it there because of the people, the temp. and just the vibe...would you San Jose is a smaller version of PV...?
The vibes are similar. SJC is only really hot in July and August. And no/little rain all summer long. Low humidity. Especially when compared to PV. I've been hot in SJC, but I did not create a puddle at my feet like I did/do in PV. Great people in both.
@@asajayunknown6290 thank you, sounds like a place I need to check out. I never really gave Baja much thought.
Couple good restaurant a block or two south of Wal-Mart a little away from the tourist hot spots
What are the annual rental rates like.?
When you're ready for a real adventure, adopt a Muppet.
Ciudad de mexico es muy amigable tambien. Yo creo que como acbabas de llegar. No te sentias paisana con la gente. Especialmente en la comida callejera. Todos platican
I want to be an expat here. This looks like a place where Hemingway would have enjoyed.
I like to swim so are any of the beaches good to swim
I'm planning hopefully to go in September
And I want to rent a car.
How far can you drive east of San Jose Del Cabo?
Can you drive up the coast to other beaches?
You can, but the road isn't great. I'm going to do a road trip there in a week and will share my experience, so keep your eyes out for those videos in two weeks or so!
Is the heat tolerable in July and August?
I suppose it depends on what you're used to? I find it almost oppressively hot, but there's plenty of air conditioning and being at the beach in the evenings is pretty spectacular.
If you pass July and August (could be around 42c° to 46°c) you will stay .
Tacos de camarones, muy buenos.
So do you prefer it to La Paz ?...
I like them both a lot! I haven't spent nearly as much time in La Paz as I have here so it's an unfair comparison.
So, is it going to be hot as sin in the summertime?
I’ve heard it gets up to 100 degrees (over 40C) 🥵
@@laura-bronner Thanks for the response! e love your channel, btw. Yeah, I am not sure there is any one place we'd want to be all year around so the used c-class RV is our plan so we can be more migratory... Not sure we'd want to hump our computers and stuff in suitcases in public transport but you know, not discounting the advantages to that. Mainly, there's a lot for having your own bed and bathroom with you where ever you go, eh? We are 62 and 42 here...mom and son, so not spring chickens any more but up for the adventure for sure!
Hola Compadres Laura, I'm Agree I'm also Falling in Luv with your Vids of Los Cabos, Your Personality and the Wonderful Food of course🍓Aka CharlieB outta Dobbs Ferry N.Y. I also Follow Jumping Places Y-TUBE Chris & Carol😆🤗👻🍓
Is it Gringolandia??
San jose del cabo has such a better vibe than cabo san lucas.
Are you a fluent Spanish speaker?
Nice video. I think you might be a bit like me, I fall in love with a lot of places.
It’s good to be in awe of the world no? ❤️
@@laura-bronner absolutely!
can you talk about the covid1984 scene a bit?
Makes me want to quit,sell, and move!
How about a vid with a local realtor? Show some pads for sale or rent? Make a new friend.
Eso lo que ven turistas.
Everyone who sees a video and decides to move to Mexico, please read Don't Stop the Carnival by Herman Wouk to get a realiry check.
I've been to both Cabos a triste love affair, Loteto, West Coast, had a house in Cozumel, worked in Nassau, grew up in Greece. I was born on a beach you might say. And you won't believe how quickly you will get bored in little San Jose del Cabo!
*I can Tell 1 Thing Laura? You must be in Love🍓So happy for you! Aka CharlieB outta Dobbs Ferry N.Y. YaAllStaySafe🤗👻
Maybe it’s time to put some roots down.I don’t think it gets any better than SJD.
First time in San Jose was 20 years ago, and every year I return and find its quaintness disappearing, and with all the PR you are giving San Jose I fear I am going to half to find a new spot, Please do no go to Loreto and make a Videos or the Bahia Magdalena
Are you concerned at all with the direction of the Mexican leadership?
Tourism is a HUGE money maker for Mexico. The government is not going to do anything to screw that up.
@@drumsnbass Oil was a huge moneymaker for Venezuela and they sure screwed that up. It feels like Mexico is going in the same direction?
@@Brockdorf no doubt resource nationalism and poor planning has led Mexico to not deal with their energy well. They became “fat & happy” living off the Cantarell field in the Gulf ( a find of luck) and have not done a good job of investing in future development. That’s not to say that one day when push comes to shove they won’t. You can look at a map of fracking in the US and watch it literally end at the Mexican border. At some point instead of depending on their own PeMex, the gov will be forced to hire frackers on contract. They’ll have the energy for the foreseeable future when this occurs.
As to Venezuelan policies, we got not only a look at how socialism can destroy a competitive advantage, but also how the US can add to that misery at will. Do keep in mind that their form of oil is a heavy sour crude, not easily as refined in a world set up for light sweet crude. Nonetheless there is a good market for it.
