Fine video. You've found your place. I moved to Guanajuato two years ago from the US and the only regret I have is that I didn't do it sooner. Viva México!
How are the mosquitoes there? I noticed an airbnb has nets over the beds, is there cause for concern for those of us who attract mosquitoes more than others?
"Veracruz has the best food in Mexico". Our first time in Veracruz, we spent several days in La Antigua (which I loved). I had a seafood cocktail, at a little riverside restaurant, that remains among the best things I've ever eaten. I love Xalapa, plan visit again in early 2025, hoping to spend extended time in the near future.
Hi Sarah. I visited Jalapa about 15 years ago. I bought an jacana . Sorry to say I never mastered it . Got to know Roy Dudley who owns a photo studio there. He is a very interesting fellow. Do you know Roy, if so is he well? Jalapa is a very interesting place. I really enjoyed the museum with the Olmec stone heads. I really enjoyed your video. Best wishes from central Florida. Vince
Not long at all, though the closest beaches aren't necessarily the nicest, haha! The closest beach really worth going to (in my opinion) is Villa Rica, and it's about a 2-hour drive.

Beautiful person. Full of life
I was raised in Xalapa until I left to come to the US at age 18. I love Xalapa so much and miss it very much.
This is great ! Much more aligned with my interests for finding a location in Mexico .

Sarah is a great writer!
is there a large expat community and do you need to know spanish well to get along ok?
The expat community is quite small, so you definitely need some Spanish. There are pockets of expats in nearby Coatepec and Xico.
