    Here I am renting a tiny apartment for $1200 a month in Portland, Oregon USA surrounded by homeless people and crime galore, I am seriously considering moving to Mexico and jumping around for a couple years since I can work anywhere with a wifi and single again! Thanks for the inspiration.

      Just some advice I live in Southern Idaho and housing and rent going up but some small towns still might have cheap rent. My rent 400. A month and has never gone up. Also in some places you can by land 1000. Acre but alot of these places are just land.

      What are you waitin for, I thought, that’s plenty of money, I from mecsicou, she could save a lot of money if she cooks, like sea food is nice and fresh, and some restaurants once or twice a week, maybe like 200 dollars on food, and you can spend whatever you want in tours around islands etc, night clubs, whatever you want with the rest, so think about it, I realized that 1500 Is what you pay only for the rent.

    Welcome to Mexico 🥰
    My only recommendation if you’re planning on moving to Mexico is PLEASE don’t forget to break the ice and mix with the locals and also learn some Spanish! Most of the foreigners stay in their foreigner’s bubble and miss out from a wonderful experience. Also as a sign of respect to the locals 😁

If they choose to speak Spanish to their family members and you don’t like it, that’s another story.

All i did was ask a question you are the one implying I would be upset for them to speak their native tongue to their familys or implying that they dont try their best to learn english. i never said any of these things. you are proving my point here and you dont even realize it. The double standard is real. i asked a simple question. if i ask people to learn english as a sign of respect. thats how you put it. if i ask people to show me respect by learning my language is that racism or bigotry. or is it only classified as such bc im white? I find it offensive that you ask me to learn a language out of respect.

    Nice find. We had a bit bigger apartment in a tourist town in Estado de México and paid about 3 times that. But, we had 2 bedrooms, a covered terraza overlooking the lake and got to watch the most amazing sunsets. The inside of this apartment reminds me a bit of ours. Not as rustic a location but, 10 minute walk to town. Loved it.

It would take me a while to find that fall-in-love- place that just feels right long term. I’ve been going to a Peru a lot (it’s definitely not there) lately, and will eventually continue to explore Chile and other South American countries. Kudos to this gal, good for her.

    Unbelievable that Dez got that gorgeous apt. for $300/mo. . . . quite frankly, it's hard
    to believe that it's a typical price at just a 10-minute walk to the beach. Can you do
    a follow-up with Dez to find out how "bad" it is during the rainy months? I.E., I'd like
    the "good, the bad & the ugly."

Taking my dog out to pee, I was accosted by a lanky guy with a rock, but the dog returned from her duty and immediately ran after this guy - ran him 2 blocks away before returning. I like being a bit away from things and yet close, too.
