Website Full of FREE information www.josearteaga.com

3 weeks in Yucatan with my teenage kids , safe as houses , love Mexico love Mexicans 😊

Good show! I feel a lot safer in Mexico than I do in the States. Still trying to sell my land here so I can leave.

Just spent a few days in Mexico City this past week. Beautiful, vibrant city. Reminds me of NYC where i grew up. As a black woman Never felt unsafe. Just saw everyday people going about their business. To the critics and skeptics: Shit happens every where.

To everyone moving anywhere remember is a great challenge especially on your age and social skills I recommend to get acquainted with tbe place and establish a good relationship with the local business community and faind a good family for a close friends that wold care for you wich is the way we migrate

Spent three weeks in Loreto and never once felt threatened or uncomfortable. The people were so unbelievably friendly!

I'm a single middle-aged Black woman, and have been living in Mexico for a year. 8 months in San Miguel de Allende and now in Guadalajara! I feel extremely safe here, safer than the US! Mexicans are kind and helpful. My landlords are the best!

New beach video is beautiful!

I went to Michoacan last year. I think it is important to Google the place before you go. Where I went I already knew that there was problems with Cartels. When I got there, I saw nothing really bad. There areas , I did not like because there were people drinking in the daytime. I went to other places that were like Jose's videos of Merida and Jalisco. It just depends on the places you go to.

Because I'm thinking of moving to Mexico myself, I've engaged with others who have moved there, in order to get a feel for what it's like there. What stands out for me is the women my age ( retirement age) who's main reason for relocating from the U.S. is that they feel safer in Mexico than at home in the states! I'm from Canada and am a 66 year old male, and I don't feel unsafe here, but that is is very encouraging to me!

Hey Jose , hey everyone,😊

Great video as usual and talked a few of off the edge, lol! Just came back from my second scouting trip to Merida.

Great video Jose. The “anchor baby” comment!! 😂😂 Love seeing the ocean views. Looking forward to more Guadalajara neighborhood videos too.

I have been all over Mexico from Nuevo Laredo to Chiapas lived in Zepelite Oaxaca for a yr now reside in Cabo San Lucas the Baja is inexpensive Southern California with way more freedom I would rather walk around in Cabo at 3 am than have to go to Austin 6 street at 8 way safer

Every place in the world is safe... until something happens to you.

The usa is way more dengeruos today then when you left the us.... Dont go back Jose.

My friend got fucked up in Guerrero but tbf he did waltz out of a bar drunk out of his ass in the middle of the night alone. He said he was stumbling around and a local told him not to go further down the road. He does and ends up blacking out in front of a bridal gown shop and next thing he knows all his shit is gone. Bruh the way he'd talk about his time there always had me in stiches.

Another good video. I know many Americans feel safer in Mexico. My fiance who is a Mexican citizen doesnt feel safe where shes at in Mexico and never has felt safe She says its getting worse. This is in Veracruz. She always felt safe in USA even in Major cities. Many of my Mexican friends who are now USA citizens feel safer in USA. Most say they dont have to deal with police corruption.

Viva México 🇲🇽

Could you comment on the map colors in this episode? Thankyou for wonderful videos!

There are actual shootings in Memphis,TN against citizens and police daily that includes death. I’m single and it’s a challenge living here because of the crime. When I’m out my head is on a swivel because of the random shootings. I’m retiring to Mexico, however, I wish I could retire now. If my job was remote I would come to Mexico NOW!! My decision to retire to Mexico 🇲🇽 has been since 2019. The vibes in Mexico works for me and it’s affordable living on my social security. I’m making my fourth visit to Mexico in November for two weeks. Boots on the ground looking for possible places to stay when it’s time to retire. #myretirementjourney

Hi, I love Mexico so very much, my wife is mexican. We live in Norway and in many aspects, (pollution, social security, corruption, natural catastrophy, criminality, health, etc.) this country is one the very safest if not the safest in the world. therefore we do not think to move back to Mexico in a near future.

should I cancel my trip to Mexico? I had planned Guadalajara and check out places in the area as well as other parts of the states of Jalisco and Michoacán (I'm originally from Michoacán). I'm Mexican American, and I have a feeling like I'll stick out like a sore thumb because of my accent. Many people say right now this area is even more dangerous than before.

What is the cost for Lawyer Jose to help with residence visa's ?

Hey! May I ask about food. I have a delicate stomach and can't tolerate spicy hot food. Will I survive Mexico.

You are funny. Thanks for the information.

Thank you so much Jose. Here in Guanajuato is a lot safer compared to Seattle WA

How about i live in non touristy areas? Is it more dangerous?

There are definitely precautions you need to take and “street smarts” you need to learn if you aren’t used to living in a big city to avoid petty crime. But the reality is that mass shootings and violence against civilians are much more of a risk in the US than in Mexico.

I live on a little island in the Gulf Island chain off the West coast of Canada, British Columbia. A 30 minute ferry ride away is a small city. I lived there for a while and here for the last 12 years. In that time, the city went downhill to the point that stabbings are fairly common downtown and nobody in their right mind walks around at night. Lagging behind was the rural island I currently reside on...but a growing element of homeless, addicted persons make this their stomping grounds now and they are so predatory, I no longer feel that my wife is safe on a walk. I have worked tough places in my youth, bouncer for some rough bars in Vancouver, so im no stranger to crazy and I can spot the difference between a harmless drunk, or homeless person that just slipped between the cracks of life and a genuine predator...someone that would commit violence if the opportunity and payoff was there and THESE people on the island and prowling the streets of the nearby city are different than they were many years ago...they are anything BUT harmless. I suppose they are a symptom of a dying society, because make no mistake: the West is dying. My wife and I are coming to Mexico as soon as some things are tied up...not as soon as I would like, but as soon as we can. I'm learning Spanish and finding it a painful process, I suppose my mind isn't as supple as it once was. But this country is dying...or rather, it's being murdered and what comes next is going to be much, much worse and it doesn't matter who gets elected because the real power isn't elected. Going South as soon as I can...have to learn to tolerate city life again, I guess. Cheers.

Mexico has 7 of the top 10 most dangerous cities in the world, so I'm glad u guys feel safe 😅

Very nice 👍👌😊 beach 😎 yep relaxing 😎

THANK ❤YOU QUESTION TOPICS I WOULD LIKE: "CAN I USE MY LLC TO BUY A HOME IN MEXICO?" "HOW CAN I START MY NAIL BUSINESS IN MEXICO?" "ARE BLACK PEOPLE WELCOME IN MEXICO?" "DOES MEXICO OFFER SERVICES TO DISABLED ADULTS LIKE MY DISABLED ADULT CHILD COMING WITH ME?" I'M GETTING SO EXCITED NOW!❤

Feliz día de la mitad, güey!

Sorry to say it Jose but I think you’re over exaggerating when you say you never felt safe in the U.S.. I grew up in one of the boroughs of N.Y.C. and never walked around with that thought constantly going through my head after decades of living there. If I’m wrong with my assumption that’s based on this video then maybe some specifics about why you felt so unsafe would help. Not sure if I missed some examples.

Where and how to live where iguanas and spiders don't come in your house. I have phobias.

Quick question. In general, I feel pretty safe in the areas of Mexico that I visit. I went to Cabo recently for my residency and didn't have any issues--and honestly, I thought I was safer there than in many areas of the USA. But I did see something that concerned me--a drug street deal involving a motorcycle and a local handing the cyclist a wad of cash. Everyone passing by the very public "transaction" ignored it and went about their business. Granted, the same thing could happen in the USA. The question though for me is in the USA, someone might try to call the police and ask for help in stopping the crime. In Mexico, I'm not so sure about that--as I understand that the police might be bought off by the cartels. So if you are the victim of a crime or observe a crime in progress that's a danger to the public, do the police help you there? Is police enforcement and protection something I give up in moving to Mexico? In general, do people look the other way to crime in Mexico and you just hope you're not a victim some day? I can deal with that mostly and I generally mind my own business and carry on as a law abiding citizen, but I do worry about being a victim of a crime and not having any police enforcement in going to live there.

Be careful with the Oxxo stores..80 pero cent of the cars been stolen happens at night at these stores

Uncovered or missing sewer lids

👋 Jose and Jose! Question for the 25th! Regarding the RNE Program..What happens if it's denied? I'm hearing PV along with Mazatlan have stopped processing those applications.. I take it the fine for overstaying would have to be paid and what happens with re-entry back into Mexico if one is forced to leave? Thanks!👍

Homie making the cartel sound like chill ASF lol

You inspired me to quit. Thank you.

Anyone been to Austin lately? Its sad to see how unaffordable the city has become. The homeless population has also increased and it is sad. My Mexican wife was surprised by the homeless population a couple of years ago when I first took her to visit my family in San Antonio. My grandma lives in the suburbs of San Antonio at least 45 minutes from downtown and there are now tents underneath the overpass at Loop 410 and Marbach and hanging out at the gas stations at the entrance of our neighborhood. Now Mexicans are starting to realize the grass is not always greener north of the border. Ironically we have not seen any homeless people in our colonia in Reynosa. Even the Haitian immigrants living in Reynosa are starting to get jobs, rent apartments, and enroll their kids in school. There are probably now Mexican born Haitian children now.

Don't drive at night

Now seattle is a dumpster.

Aren’t aguas frescas electrolyte drinks?

Jose truth bombs 💯💪😂💪😁 away ahhh verdad cabrones hahahaha

Hey Jose, I really want my permanent residence in Mexico. I'm from Canada and I may be able to do ok here but I think this country will be in a much worse position 25 years from now especially due to housing and rental costs which take up 50% or more of living expenses. I think Mexico will be in a comparatively good position in 25 years and want myself and my future child to have as many options as possible. @JoseArteagaTravels where is a good place to pay for a hospital stay to have a child in Mexico?

The crime in mexico is very very very different from the USA.... If you are a beautiful white girl traveling solo in mexico with few basic spanish you are probably safer than a brown mexican businessman like me. I am mexican i know what i am saying..... also, you are not going to a place in the middle of nowwhere ! also common sense is used right? If you are worry about your cellphone, or being robbed , well that can happen in many places of Chicago, or LA. If you are thinking about the Drug Cartels? well that is a real issue in some parts of the country! but most of the time the war is between the same Cartel or the Marine Corps versus the Cartels.. People, travelers, are not the targets...

And also say that there are certain points here that you cannot enter winthout being assaulted or killed for a cigarette..

300,000,000 visit border USA mex 90,000,000 cars. 5,000,000 truck hundred trains xing 3 world airport CIA said USA 350,000,000 visit border 2025 good still alive. Cartel didn't kill 350,000,000

Where exactly, in the USA, were you always paranoid that danger could be lurking at any moments notice...hiding behind a tree, behind a corner? Did you live in the worst part of the ghetto of a major city?

Jose, could you please tell us about the water situation in Mexico? Does the general public in Mexico drink "tap water", (water that comes out of any faucet, in any house or apartment). Is it safe to drink this tap water?

How do we know you’re telling the truth?

Super obvious you are slanted to a particular view. You talk in the veneer of generalizations. Let’s have “a chat and open discussions” is a joke. Let’s talk statistics. Actual data, not “pot holes”. Pathe tic.

my very close friend was murdered on a beach in Baja by a pack of 12 dogs

Glad Zacatecas is very peaceful.

Hey there do you have an email or whassap I would like to ask you a few things about how to go on getting a residency in mexico I live in LA but I have a house in mazatlan
