Beautiful interview.

Hi Terry. Pam king here…found you! Are you still in Mexico?

Rest in peace sweet Judy.

Hi Victoria, Enjoyed your presentation. I’m planning to move to Mexico in about a month. Still undecided as to best place to land. Your description is very compelling. I’m a retired photographer seeking a tranquil life style. Sounds like Patzcuaro might be the right place. Do you offer only short term accommodations? Thank you, James Aquino

Rewatching our video 3 years after it was recorded, I want to emphasize: We didn't choose first to retire and then chose to move to Puerto Vallarta. It's the other way around: we were working remotely in Puerto Vallarta and realized then that 1/ we loved it there and 2/ we could retire right away if we moved to Mexico. Update: As a couple we actually spend $20K per year to live in Puerto Vallarta (not 30k as announced). But our travel expenses are much higher than announced in the video because we travel more often and around the world. At home we spend very little in clothing (shorts and Tshirts is all we need, pretty much), we avoid touristy restaurants, we do our housekeeping/landscaping/house maintenance mostly ourselves, we still don't own a car, our utilities are very low (we have solar panels, we don't use much propane as our water heater is off half of the year & we dry our laundry outside), our medical expenses are still very low. We're still very active and very happy that we moved there.

"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.

What a great enjoyable interview with an interesting lady. Thank you both.

Margaret's first time in Oaxaca was at the same time as my last time. We were there at the same time! So envious that she's living there now. I would love to. Oaxaca is just amazing. I love it there.

I love living in this area. I've been coming here for more than 20 years and now live nearby for the last two years, and I absolutely love it here.

This guy is a scammer

These type of people will ruin mexico.. not even learning Spanish. Gross

This guy is a con man…advoid him…stole 20 million through Caban Condos Mexico

Ben pitre never bought the house he is talking about.

Did we meet you at the Meetup? 😂

I am a single senior lady of 69, looking at retiring there, how much to rent a room of monthly hotel please?

is there a large expat community and do you need to know spanish well to get along ok?

Is it possible to live in PV using a EV scooter. I can walk short distances but long distances for shopping, strolling on the Malecon, going to cafe's restaurants, can a small EV scooter do the job? I need to be near the beach (EV scooter distance). Perhaps there are areas where this could work. I looking short term rental for 3 months. I'm 80 years old (young-old as they say). Thanks.

brilluant, I'm thinking of expatting from Canada, i qualify for permanent res, but I dont want to pay that 30% Mexican withholding tax on foreign dividend income - currently I pay 12%. So if someone can clarify that for me, lots of expats living in PV and dont file with Mexico, just their counrtry of origin. This is what i want to do

I was there , an loveed it. , ❤Loved 11 Patiozes with All artisain 5:25 5:27 5:29 . . But I don't think locals like Ustado Unidos. . people.

Great advice. And here we are...serendipitously landed here in our little RV and already thinking we may have found a forever home... It reminds us of Oregon but also San Diego but in better times. And yes, I've noticed that not as much English is spoken here as in many other places we've been. I"m comfortable with that and we are learning... Check out her hotel and apartments online...they look AMAZING.

So your boyfriend used to bang you in Melaque in your youth so you bring your husband to the same place you were squashed daily. No wonder it is now an ex husband

Very informative. Thank you

I LOVE La Paz - IN THE WINTER! There's absolutely no way I could live there over a summer. The malecon is the best in Baja.

Patzcuaro is my most favorite place in all of Mexico. 3 times we stayed for a month during Easter and it was just wonderful. Our last visit was the month of April 2020 at the height of Covid and although it was very sad that we couldn't mingle, go to the marcado, or our favorite restaurants....it was probably the best place to be with this kind and caring people. We lived at the top of hill above Dr Coz and our Colonia was very tight knit and wonderful to be in. The Bodega, the vegetables ladies, everyone took extreme common sense care for the community health. Our rental was at the top of a ridge top with constant stunningly beautiful views and lighting

Robert, can I have your email, want to talk about an awesome project?

I liked her attitude: so respectful of Mexican Culture...bienvenida.

I spent some time in Ensenada last year, to try to determine if I wanted to get a place there. Rents were higher than expected, and the security issue was a deal killer for us. Trucks full of army and police, in full riot gear, parading up and down the main drag all day long. And the police were quite hostile. Spoke to one, and he said the homicides are way up, and you always have to be careful and watchful. Not for us.

Some expats are sooo funny when they say "I don't like too many tourist around...hahah

Wishing you the Best down Mexico soon a train will bring a lots happy Travelers. Including myself I never been in Mexico Only in border towns IAM semi retired it's Time to pay a visit May god bless nothing of you

Hi! I want to ask is it true from cancun to cuba 30 min. Away in airplane?

we are coming in April to scout. Love to chat John

As soon as he said "bankers", I'm out of there.

How do you teach English to foreigners w/o knowing their language?

0:08 where is that?

US immigrants in Mexico*

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?

Los deverian de deportar de Ensenada asi como oos gringos deportan a los mexicanos

Ivan forgot to mention the many indigenous people of that area and of the Baja as a whole. They were in Mexico long before the Russians and Spaniards.👍

Too many in SMA...so loud, not nice.

Thank you Lindsay for the information you so so nicely shared with us. I am visiting for 1 month from the 26th Nov to 26th Dec 2022. Do you think there is enough time to get an appointment with a dentist and an eye doctor and would you be able to refer me to a dentist and eye doctor. Thank you again Lindsay.

Oaxaca is on our list to visit. I like how you visited incramentally for the first 3 years before you made your choice. Smart girl. I <3 Mexico!

I am coming to PV 10-4 to12th. Doing my research. Looking to retire there or Bucerias.

Greetings from Yucatan

Such a helpful, interesting, and valuable interview - thank you both! Is love to hear more from this channel about finding safe places outside our on the outskirts of SMA proper and also the mature, well educated, and creative perspective is very appreciated!

I also live in Manhattan and I have never owned a car, and I don't know if I remember how to drive,.

The video would have really come to life, if we could have seen his property.

Very cool. You make a lot of people envious.

So real! I loved this interview, she summarized it well: “COME FOR THE ADVENTURE!”
