Gracias from El Paso Texas ✌️

You should visit northern Mexico, Monterrey, Chihuahua, Hermosillo, etc.

It's interesting to see how things changed out there. The videos on youtube give me a better understanding of how it's growing a lot and maybe more...Viva Mexico!

❤

Yo come down to Uruapan, its very nice here, small town but cute.

Hola amigo. Is Mexico safe??? LOL Of course it is. I miss sitting there at that table eating tacos and drinking a beer. I need to get back down there with my electric wheelchair.

Can u update us on the train project?

You should travel to have a better assesment of the situation in Mexico, I think it will benefit the audience and your channel.

Mexico is developing very fast, it already surpassed Russia in GDP per capita in 2023 according to the IMF, it will surpass Russia in nominal GDP in. 2024, and the per capita growth was the biggest in Latin America. Minimum wage increased 120% in 5 years and 200% in the north of the country, that’s why poverty rates reduced in at least 10 million people. I hope it keeps like that because it will be better for all North America, Mexico has a lot of potential and I think it’s time for Mexico to take an important place in the developed world

Thank you so much Jose for this Video ❤ I enjoy it a lot

Not that I have anything with cars. But I hope they don't start building car dependent infastructor like the usa. They need to have public options too. I believe car dependent infrastructure alienates people. Don't get me wrong I would own a car. But I don't want to completely rely on 24/7 like the usa.

I’m Mexican and there’s both truth and misconceptions to car ownership here. We’re able to live better without cars because our cities are dense, even our colonias tend to be more walk friendly. Now the misconceptions: 1- we have the world’s most expensive toll roads. This is a political issue here since our constitution technically makes it illegal and the money isn’t even going to development. 2- in 2013, our gas was made private. Prices have jumped to over $5 USD a gallon. Now imagine paying any tolls and gas with our wages in Mexico? It’s not that we have “freedom” mi amigo, most of us don’t have the possibility. 3- who this hurts most is not those in cities who just want a car. It hurts the rural population. There is no one in my hometown anymore except for the older generation. We’ve all moved to survive, in my case to Saltillo with all of my cousins and siblings. We are following the US by making it impossible to live a humble rural life. Small businesses have no customers in rural Mexico because of it so they close soon after. I visited my hometown recently and it’s a ghost town. This isn’t to say Mexico isn’t prospering. It just needs to be noted that the culture and way of life is rapidly changing here to high cost urban living just like the US. I’m really worried that once prices of rent for businesses and housing continue to go up, small business even in the cities will suffer. Look at our cities now! American fast food, American grocery stores, American everything! That’s because they can afford the rent and taxes. I appreciate you very much for choosing to shop local, we really need to put our people and culture first but the government puts themselves first and allows this.

How cool is this video..!

Do you have a recommendation for tooth implant surgeon? Or cosmetic dentist?

Now that you know the kind of people who live in Mérida and you know what they like and you are a chef, you should consider opening your own restaurant so that you can offer your gastronomy, it would be great Greetings from the north of Mexico

Hi Jose, Aaron here!! one of these days I'd like to bring you and Christian through our centro here in Queretaro!! Invitation offered whenever you have the time!! You really know how to tell the story and how to motivate people to move down from the dump up north!! Again just following your stuff and commenting once and awhile!! Hope to see you soon!!!

The american dream is unique to each person. There is no blueprint to the american dream.

Another great video 🇲🇽👍

thanks Jose gust by hering you talk about Mexico it gives me alot of energy pretty sure a lot of people too have graet day my brother !!!

Thanks! Hola José buenas tardes aqui te mando una pequeña ayuda Saludos desde Avon Colorado Yo soy de Merida del rumbo de Santiago Saludos para ti y para tu Señora esposa.

Gracias Jose!!

Was there in September and truly enjoyed it. Thank you Jose for your videos!

I hope someday I’ll be living in Merida, thts what I love your videos, Thank you Jose for sharing.

Great video and information as usual! I just hope that the developers and government officials address drainage and flooding infrastructure. IMHO over development and water runoff management is a HUGE problem in the U.S.

Beautiful area great video, thanks for sharing

Great video Jose 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Me gusta la forma en que tomas tus vídeos en tu coche y caminando también como éste video. Me gusta que le eches flores a mi amado México, porque se las meréce realmente. I love to watch all your videos buddy, don't stop doing it 😊😊😊.

One of rhe best videos you have done. Jose. Great practical info from on the ground. Always liked these walking videos because it gives a clear view of what the experience that you can almost touch. thanks for all you do for us!!!

Éso está sabroso allí!👌👌👌

The American dream was working hard to achieve your goals and strive. Now all family members must work hard to pay rent. (Average) In Mexico you can be happy with little and do nothing while you laugh with friends and fam.

Thanks for the video ! I follow another channel "Gringos R Us" who are traveling Mexico (staying in different locations for a month or 2 each)to find their favorite "retirement destination". They just left Merida and seemed to have really enjoyed the City. They're in Progreso now. They mentioned Merida has a slightly different "Mayan" influence to "Día de los Muertos" celebration... "Day of the Dead" is such a wonderful celebration. Maybe you could feature that Holiday in an upcoming video? 👍🤠✌️

I love the culture

If you think three jobs, and a pile of bills and the whole bling unbling lose and win job of USA is the American Dream it is that perception that is the American Dream since it sounds so very good.

TE QUEDO PERRO ESTE VIDEO JOSE !! I LOVED THIS FUCKING VIDEO ,,,,, THE BEST ONE EVER CABRON.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Mexico loves its culture and community and wants to share it with everyone who loves it and respects it. Mexico has freedom for whoever wants to be free. The USA is the place to work and Mexico the fun side of the border!

Hey, are you aware there is a channel called "Expat Tea" talking smack about you? She also really hates Jordan from Tangerine Travels, her channel is mostly dedicated to bashing him and his new bride.

Hi Jose...watching from NYC...I love your videos...Can I ask you what kind of camera you're using? looks like a clip on camera...lol...maybe I'm wrong...seems like you hands-free that's why I'm asking

In the US "you get paid to do drugs and live in a tent " . . . fun video Jose keep the good work

That Mall toward the end of the video is Lovely! The palm trees and plants soaking up the rain and just how clean it is... Just shows that Mexico really has it all! When I am in Puebla City there are huge Malls that are prettier than anything I have seen in the USA.... I think the video you showed this episode was great, just seeing the difference between a sunny day and a rainy day... Keep it coming!

Consumerism produces no culture, passion, etc. You only feel pride in possessions which have to be updated and replaced continuously, not the American Dream I grew up with, or am I loco en la cabeza?

José espero conocerte en persona ya que quiero regresar a Merida en un par de ańos y quedarme a vivir alli

The only thing the US is better than Mexico is the cost of goods. Clothes are so expensive in Mexico. As an American I wouldn't even buy some of the clothes there with my higher wage. A cousin of mine came to visit and he said that with $3,500 pesos in the US would get him $10,000 pesos worth of clothes in Mexico. (Y de marca buena también!) He bought lots of clothes for his growing kids. That's why there's a Ross right outside of Tijuana! Perfect for flying in and buying a bunch of clothes and flying back

Thank you brother...I've been stuck back in the states for 8 months I am soo ready to go back home to Merida...I truly miss the people and the way of life...

dude... make a video on gun culture in Mexico... i get that some americans find way too dificult to give up their right to own guns but if they are considering moving here, they better get to know the way we mexicans feel about them...

Another great video, Jose! Larga vida a la libertad en Mexico!

Another amazing video Jose. So many take away moments. I absolutely love how you don’t judge and respect that what is preferred or right for one person may be the polar opposite for another person. You expose all sides of Merida. Thanks for your consistency and hard work. Upon every visit to Merida we find ourselves very sad when we have to leave to go back home. So looking toward the day we can call Merida our home as it absolutely captured our hearts. Thanks again.

Excellent video, this is a nice shopping area in Merida. You have such a refeshing and truthful attitude about both Mexico and the USA.

Hola, Jose! We LOVE Merida!! The people are what make it so special. It almost makes the hellish temperatures bearable. We've been told this past week the current air is considered, "fresh". Residents here are TOUGH. What makes it better, is the almost constant wind, along with an afternoon siesta. This city certainly comes alive at night. The personality of this 500-year-old city is truly unique. 7 out of 10 people we pass look us in the eye, smile, and say hello. Try THAT in Chicago and get back to us :). While we will be moving to this magical country for retirement, we would've never considered Merida until we saw your vids. Now it is on our short list. Little crime, great people, LOTS to do. The one vid we saw with you celebrating Hanal Pixan, what part of the city were you strolling? Thanks to your education, we know tonight is for the little ones, tomorrow is for the Family, and the 3rd day is for those who did not have anyone in this lifetime. Are there different parts of the city to best experience the different days? Again, thank you for your efforts!!

😎Im amazed,,wonderful,informative video,I had no idea ,,The Modernization of Mexico,,I really want to go,,for years.I need to make it happen somehow.I am into nature and a smaller community,learning spanish and "Living like a local,,, Beautiful energy and mindset you have Jose,,,Thankyou

❤ You are making me love Merida! (Damn you, Jose) 😂

Mexico 🇲🇽 is a cash society just don't bust out the 500 pesos they will get scared and 1000pesos they will have a heart attack 😂
