Living in Mexico Has Altered My Mental Health 🇲🇽 

It’s gonna get so much worse in the USA, something is brewing

That is awesome! Congratulations to you as well! Thanks for sharing! Viva Mexico!

Best thing I did period! Thanks! Happy for you too!

Weed is a connection between the earth where it is grown and our bodies where it is inhaled and then the air or the heavens where it is exhaled. While I am proud of you for supporting yourself in your choice that makes you happy. I look forward to more openness and acceptance plus freedom to enjoy weed for the relaxing medicine and flavor that it is. Sorry for failing to see a negativity with Marijuana. I think the negativity toward weed is the only bad part of weed. Again I am proud of you for being happy about your choices. I just want to remind people that the opposite of your choice isn't a bad choice. Weed is very healthy for people. Spirituality and other reasons.

Yousefbenmilou 😮😮😮 wow !

The struggle is real. I know it all too well. Little did I know while living in the USA that there could be better out there for me. I never thought that leaving the USA would make me the happiest I have ever been in my entire life. This is why I don't focus so much on cost of living and trying to maintain a similar lifestyle here in Mexico. I realized that the main reason I have been able to achieve inner peace is by slowly leaving my past life and routine behind. I now embrace everything about life out here in Mexico because the culture and the life out here is what truly has made me get to this point of so much clarity and happiness. Thanks again for sharing, hope you make it out to Mexico soon!

@@JoseArteagaTravels You are very welcome! Instead of giving up my house in the USA, I’ve decided that I will eventually spend time (a couple of months) in Merida during Merida’s cooler months ❤

Exactly, even if you are financially stable you can't escape the American system that creates a toxic society, unless you move to another country. I think the over the top greed and materialism in the US is the problem or just plain bad values. Mexico is a Christian country and you see it and feel it. In the US I feel oppression and exploitation.

@@rfink222 So happy for you that you are on your way to enjoying a home in Mexico. Christian’s in Mexico adhere to the guiding principles of their religion. Christian’s in America use religion to dictate other’s lives while they themselves have almost no basic values. Just my observation of 50 plus years 😂

How could they take your home away in an instant?

Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for sharing!

Are fruits and vegetables very different in the US? For me in Mexico, I think of our fruit and veggies as normal, but apparently they are of a very good quality?

YES -- the food quality has definitely gotten worse! When we visited down there, my husband's food allergies went away completely -- he could eat anything he wanted, whereas he had to avoid even organic versions of them up here. So strange.

@@mamacat321 Very strange indeed. A common belief here is that the very best of our products, our veggies and beer and fruit are sent to the US while we keep the lower quality for our country, but I see now that it’s not true.

That is awesome! Congratulations! Thanks for sharing!

That is awesome! So glad to hear that! Happy to hear you are living Happy and Free out here in Mexico as well! Thanks for sharing! Viva Mexico!

@@JoseArteagaTravels Sí, ¡Viva México!

Wow Thank You so much! That is very kind and generous of you! We really appreciate it! She really did help a lot in my journey to get to where I am today. Very grateful to have her by my side! Thanks again!

@@JoseArteagaTravels You both are welcome ❤

Mientras no sigan construyendo condominios o cualquier otro tipo construcciones en las costas de Yucatán, no se destruyan manglares, dunas; O lo peor vaya a dar el ESTIÉRCOL HUMANO AL MAR O A UN MANGLAR, TODO ESTÁ BIEN. Porque muchos no piensan en el medio ambiente y la catástrofe que se avecina de la falta de agua. NADA MÁS VER EL TREN DE LA MUERTE, MAL LLAMANDO TREN MAYA, COMO EL #N@RCO PRESIDENTE LÓPEZ OBRADOR, HA DESTRUIDO CENOTES, TIRANDO MILLONES DE ÁRBOLES, POR UN TREN QUE ES UNA CHATARRA DE FINES DE SIGLO PASADO, Y QUE NO SIRVE PARA NI UN CARAJO, SOLO LES HA SERVIDO A LA FAMILIA LÓPEZ OBRADOR, PARA SAQUEAR AL PAÍS Y DARLE EN LA M@DRE A LA POCA SELVA QUE QUEDA EN LA PENÍNSULA DE YUCATÁN.

Very awesome 👏!

Blessed Be

Amen i totally agree. The USA is not what it used to be. Thank god we have Mexico! Thanks for sharing! Viva Mexico!

Me too... i find peace in MX as well

Do you follow Mexican politics and social media?

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cWHtkFzP6r4.html "At least 23 candidates and 51 government officials assassinated in 2024." As of this writing we've only barely completed the months of the year. You think you've found Disneyland only because you don't know anything about Mexico.

Wrong !!!Mexico is becoming just like the USA unfortunately

Mexico truly is a magical place. Thank you so much for sharing with us.

Glad you're understanding everything we are going through in the USA much appreciated friend

Oh, thank you! May you and your family be blessed 💙

I couldn't agree with you more. It's as if there is some sort of spell everyone is under in the USA, some sort of dark cloud infecting everyone living there. When I used to visit Tijuana before moving out here to Merida I would feel the same weight just lifting off of me, and I would feel that heaviness soon as I would talk to the American border agent heading back into the USA. I still remember vividly when I left the USA for good and was flying into Mexico City how a giant sense of relief just hit me like a ton of bricks and once I got here to Merida I finally felt free without even knowing how much more amazing things were going to get. Thanks again for sharing! Viva Mexico!

@@JoseArteagaTravels As usual my friend you hit the nail on the head!! I actually felt the weight drop off my shoulders as the Captain on my flight to Mexico said that we had just crossed the border into Mexico!! The U.S. like a big sucking machine taking all the air out of the room as you GASP to breath!! It is why after living here in Mexico for 12 years and 2 months I have never gone back or have any plans to ever go back to the U.S. When a few friends of mine came down last year to visit, me you could see on the faces when it came time to leave and go back to the U.S. the happiness turned to sadness and I told them that they should go back and get ready to leave permanently and they looked at me and said they wish they could!! They made many excuses and I just stood there and shook my head and said to myself a little courage goes a long way. I can say that my life has been amazing since I moved to Mexico and I intend to live out my days here in a Paradise of freedom and liberty!!! Viva Mexico!!!😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃!!!!!!! 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌!!!

U Guys & Jose R Full of it Pero. 2 each his Own. I Live in PEACE in my Michigan Casita. USA GREATEST Country 2 Live

Like you said 2 each his own. Your experience is subjective. For many people this is still reality. Glad you're in a good space in your situation. Best wishes.

You are 1000% Correct. Who knows what they are even feeding us in the USA anymore. Glad I don't have to worry about things like that anymore out here in Mexico.

@@JoseArteagaTravels Absolutely.

Even the food is Toxic Poison

Wow! Thank you so much for your generosity! Much appreciated! So happy to hear my videos and my own life experiences can help out so many out there in the audience! Thanks again!

That is awesome! Mexico awaits you my friend! Thanks for sharing!

Get out of CA immediately. It is doomed and so is the rest of the USA.

That is awesome! Thanks for sharing! Aloha!

Well said! Thanks for sharing!

The Mexican media is currently shaking the jar violently. The red ants are the Mexicans, and the black ones are the "gringo gentrifiers/colonizers".

ouch! a seemingly painful analogy....but also very very true

Muchas Gracias! Thank you for sharing!

Jaja That is awesome! Hopefully for the better! Thanks for sharing broski!

Thanks for sharing! Viva Mexico!

That is awesome! Thanks for sharing!

That's great! Thanks for the kind words! Happy to hear you enjoyed the video so much! Viva Mexico!

That is insane! I would say it might be an April Fool's joke but we all know it isn't. Hope you make it to Mexico one day!

Muchas Gracias!

My pleasure! Glad my videos are so helpful!

Muchas Gracias for the kind words! So happy to that my videos have been so helpful throughout the years!

You can do it! Thanks for sharing!

Wow! Muchas Gracias! I truly appreciate it! Achieving inner peace is a daily struggle for most as you already know. I never thought I would be able to achieve it myself. Little did I know that all I had to do was move to Mexico. 🙂 Thank you again for your generous offering!

What's the word, Namaste is it? Jose has achieved that Namaste 😁

That is awesome! Thanks for sharing! Viva Mexico!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!

Muchas Gracias for the kind words! Glad to hear you enjoyed the video

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing!

You're welcome!

That is awesome! Thank you so much for the kind words and all the love and support throughout the years! It's been one heck of a ride! Looking forward to seeing what the future holds!

@@JoseArteagaTravels My husband just said he remembers when you cut your hand because you got locked out? :) (and he agrees with me that you and Christian look alike -- in a good way!)

Happy Easter to you as well! Thank you so much for your kind words! Glad I could bring you a smile on this beautiful day!

That is awesome brother! I'm sure no matter where you end up you will be very very happy! Good luck to you! Thanks for sharing!

Muchas Gracias! Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the video!

I myself still can't believe it.... Not that I gave it up but that I was under it's spell for sooo long. So much happier these days that I am not addicted to it anymore. So much happier I don't need it in my life daily as a crutch. Mexico truly saved my life in more ways than I can count. Good luck to you on your journey. It won't be easy, but it will be totally worth it! Thanks for sharing

Glad you enjoyed the video and it was helpful!

Awesome! Congratulations! Thanks for sharing!

It is a random spot East of Progreso before getting to Telchac Puerto

I can only imagine. I understand what you are saying I knew a few Brazilians in the USA and they could not wait to get back home to Brazil. I finally understand them after living in Mexico for 6 years. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

That is awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Muchas gracias! Thanks for sharing!

That is awesome! Thank you so much for sharing with us! So happy you and your family are loving it out here so much!

Sounds like a plan! Glad to hear my videos could be so helpful!

Muchas Gracias! Glad you enjoyed it!

Muchas Gracias! I appreciate that!

Don't know the exact location, I just know it's east of Progreso before getting to Telchac Puerto

Jaja exactly! Enjoy your trip! Thanks for sharing!

@@JoseArteagaTravels Clarification: Going to QRO for a look-see. I am so grateful for your content. I am selling my US home so that can move to Mexico!

Viva Mexico! Thanks for sharing!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Yes the sky and the water are both just beyond amazing!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Well said. Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing with us. Viva Mexico!

Great question! It's a very long story! I basically put my finger on the map and landed here. You can find out more by watching this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Akp5vRcMtIE.html

Thank you very much! Viva Mexico!

That's awesome! Hope you enjoy it!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

I agree we can at least start there before moving on to the other problems. But yes if those things are fixed/addressed then the USA would be a much more pleasant place to live

Awesome! Viva Mexico!

That is awesome! Thanks for sharing!

That is awesome! Congratulations! Viva Mexico!

Mexico awaits you. Thanks for sharing with us

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you!

Hang in there. If there's a will there's always a way! Thanks for sharing!

You are right i did not even notice that before but you make a great point. Tons of little things like that eventually add up. Thanks for sharing!

Muchas gracias! Some might call it luck I prefer to call it a lot of hard work and sacrifice. It wasn't easy to get to where I am today but it was 10000% totally worth it. Thanks for sharing!

Muchas Gracias for your kind words! Thank you for sharing!

Jaja you already know! I love the beach and being able to take a dip in the ocean whenever I need a reset. Thanks for sharing!

Muchas Gracias!

Amen! It is not just about cost of living as so many others constantly talk about. Even if the cost of living were actually similar as it was back home I still think the quality of life out here is by far much better than anything you can find in the USA these days. Viva Mexico!

Thanks for sharing! Viva Mexico!

Gracias por aceptarme! Viva Mexico!

I've been living in Mexico 6 years and have had my run ins with the cops out here as well and have talked about it on my channel. With that said, I totally agree different parts of Mexico do have different kind of police. First off all police no matter the country are extremely corrupt. But as it pertains to Mexico the cops here just want to shake you down for some cash and extort you. As you already know they are more dangerous than the Cartel themselves. But the cops in the USA are far worse. In the USA they actually kill you over minor infractions and not only tow your car for no reason but they arrest you and put you in the system in which you are trying to pay out of for years. In Mexico if you get pulled over by corrupt cops and you know your rights many times you can be let go but worse case scenario all they want is a mordida. If they give you a ticket/citation thats actually the best case scenario. But never will the cops in Mexico take yourlife unless they plan on facing the consequences of a murder charge. In the US they get awards and medals for that type of behavior. Again i totally agree that the Mexican police treat locals way worse but again you and me both know how much worse they can treat you in the USA. You even admitted it yourself how bad the USA is. L.A is not as bad as other parts of the country. Either way cops are bad on both sides of the border but they are much safer out here than in the USA by far. Thanks again for sharing.

@@JoseArteagaTravelsyeah the good thing about getting into minor scrapes in Mexico or SE Asia is that you can $work$ it out and everyone goes their merry way

Awesome! Thank you for the kind words! Welcome aboard! This is an area that is east of Progreso before getting to Telchac Puerto.

Living the American dream is more like a nightmare for those such as yourself who know what true freedom is. Hope you are able to make it back to Mexico soon!

You make a great point. The USA is one of the most "medicated" Countries in the world simply because it is just so hard to live there mentally. I'm sure if the people weren't so horrible and toxic the USA would be a much easier place to live and not so many people would be looking for a way out. For many leaving the USA it has more to do with Quality of Life and healthier environment and lifestyle than it does just saving a few dollars. Hope you make it outta there soon! Thanks for sharing!

That's exactly how I feel. Same as my parents did when they fled Cuba for life in the USA

Thanks for sharing! Hope you find a way out. It won't be easy but there are solutions to your problems all you have to do is do the work to find them. Good luck with everything!

Muchas gracias! Thanks for sharing with us! Viva Mexico!

It is just east of Progreso around Telchac Puerto

Jaja Glad you enjoyed that!

🙂

It is just east of Progreso around Telchac Puerto

Amen! Very well said! Thanks for sharing! Viva Yucatan!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the suggestion!

That's right. That's why I love Mexico! Most people question unfair or unjust situations

I agree I don't like public schools either. Thanks for sharing

oh my! Well one positive thing about Mexico is that you don't need it! It is affordable enough where you can pay most things out of pocket. Only need insurance if you need to see the Doctor on a regular basis. Either way it is another positive thing to help you out and have even less stress!

@@JoseArteagaTravels how about for more serious issues. A couple of years ago I had to go to the er and had emergency surgery. Spent a week in the hospital and they tried to charge me over 100k in medical bills. I was able to talk it down but I got lucky. For a few months I thought I was going to be ruined.

Thank you for the kind words! I am on a Beach close to Progreso Yucatan Mexico

@@JoseArteagaTravels Awesome!…..your work is so well done…simple and effective….so informative….would love to remain in contact with you….I’m seriously thinking about Mexico….I would be closer to my favorite part of the states which is Az,Nevada and Cali….wonderful work!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing!

It all depends on who you ask. Some people think it is extreme others find it just right. How else are you supposed to go to the beach in the middle of winter if it is not seasonably hot all year round. If you are interested in a more detailed answer you can watch this video I made going more in depth about the weather out here in Merida ru-vid.com0n7VT18h86E?feature=share

Then come to my city Pachuca, we have cold nights all year and sometimes it’s even freezing!

Central Mexico like Puebla City is very temperate... evenings cool off and day time heat rarely gets much above 80 degrees F. Mexico is NOT only for beach towns... there are so many lovely places in Central Mexico.
