    My wife and I relocated to Morelia almost three years ago. She's a Mexican citizen and I'm from Reno, Nevada.
    It's been a wonderful, and beautiful experience. We rent a large, beautiful house in a very nice neighborhood, and can easily live on my Social Security income. The culture, architecture, the lack of stress, the people, the low cost of living, and of course, the food are all reasons to be here. The best move I've ever made!
    VIVA MEXICO 🇲🇽

      I'm checking out Oaxaca and spending some time on the coast. When I eventually head back up to Mexico City to fly back to the States I'm checking out Morelia and Guanajuato. Got permanent residency and looking for a place to live for my first year. I am learning Spanish and have very limited capacity at this point. Thoughts re: Morelia? Thanks!

    We vacationed in morelia and the corundas were sold in the market, cheap. also, you could get the white cream or red sauce. I ate mine plain. This was in the late 80s.

      @GeorgiaandDavid it definitely changed a lot. Like they had street vendors selling their products and services, calling them out as they walked thru the streets. I miss the uniqueness of that time. I haven't been back since the 90s. But I see the changes thru the UA-cam.

      We don't try to travel as cheaply as possible. We eat at a range of both affordable and fancy restaurants and we tend to rent more expensive Airbnb's for the extra comfort. You could definitely spend less. Thanks for watching!

    • @GeorgiaandDavid
      @GeorgiaandDavid  2 місяці тому

      We enjoy the local cuisine but walking 10k steps per day and lifting weights four times a week helps us maintain a balance. GMO corn isn't used for human consumption in Mexico, it can only be used as animal feed.

      @@GeorgiaandDavid I know AMLO wanted to ban GMO corn in Mexico, its the staple of most foods ... if animals are still eating GMO corn and you are eating the animals then you are still consuming it and its glyphosate poison but I guess its better, 95% of corn produced in the US is yellow GMO corn and its exported worldwide, its also heavily subsidized by the government to where its cheaper to buy GMO corn than for Mexican peasants to grow it in Mexico

      @GeorgiaandDavid  Рік тому +4

      Start by finding an Airbnb whole house rental within 2km of the zocalo that has parking for a Jeep, green space for a dog, as well as a king or queen sized bed. Then all you have to do is eat out at a sit down restaurant almost every day. Obviously it can be done cheaper but we enjoy this lifestyle.

      One of the great things about Mexico is that it has options at many price points. Street tacos and restaurants in the mercados can be excellent, churches are free, and many museums are low to no cost!
