    I am on the same site you are as a sitter. I have had mostly good experiences doing it. TH attracts nice homes, well taken care of pets and a variety of locations. I really like their 5 person limit. They can always reject all 5 and start over. I am also on a pet site exclusively for Canadian homes. They have no cut off. People wait a long time before they decide and by then the pet sitters have moved on. Homeowner gets frustrated as his worse pics are left. I find on TH if I don’t hear from them in 3 days, I am not their choice. Usually I hear from them within 24 hours, the sits I have had there. Been with them less than a year and travel sporadically like you. Have had 6 sits with them and two with the Canadian site. You would like the exchange rate in Canada.

    Didn’t know the story of cruel dangerous female preying mantises that selfishly grab the flowers from the hopeful male and slam the door. But then I suppose this ritual is better than that of a certain species of spiders where the female eats the male after a night of romance 😂. Wow…but so many somnabulent bugs over there… I think you must have stepped on at least a few unlucky (but happy) ones. Despite the mosquito and venomous, amorous critters, San Miguel de Allende seems like a great place to spend time and explore. And that downpour must have been quite refreshing after all that hot weather.

      Very little cooking at home, usually some combo of eggs and veggies with avocado, or a fruit salad. SMA is one of the pricier towns we've visited in Mexico, but eating in restaurants is still a great value compared to what we experience in the USA, so we're taking advantage of it.

    Hi Buck, thanks for sharing the unedited video. It's amazing to see how you made that into just 5 minutes and it was seamless even though now I see you actually had a ton of footage. My favorite part that had me laughing 😂 was when you brought out your black trash bag and put it on the counter next to the plate of cut fruit. I actually went back and watched the 5 minute video cause I didn't remember any trash bag in the cutting video. Always great to see a video from you and CG and thank you for the much needed laugh today. (It was a super stressful day) Look forward to your next travel video!! 🏜

    Speaking of Africa you ever think of travelling all the way over there sometime? Would be pretty cool! You ever seen Bone Tomahawk? That's another "non-traditional" Western movie that's also pretty dark and kinda brutal!

      Holy cow...I've seen Bone Tomahawk a half a dozen times already! LOVE IT! The guy who made that movie, Craig Zahler, also made Dragged Across Concrete and Brawl in Cell Block 99. After multiple viewings, I've come to love Brawl in Cell Block 99, but I didn't love it at 1st. Dragged Across Concrete I need to watch again, cause I didn't love it. I've also read a few books written by Zahler--real gritty stuff. In fact, I think one of his books is being turned into a movie by Ridley Scott. I don't know if Zahler is writing the screeplay; it's based on his western novel Wraiths of the Broken Land, which is fantastic, and thematically similiar to Bone Tomahawk. Hopefully the movie gets made!

      I'm curious about that Ridley Scott film now... I'll keep an eye out for that one! I love the gritty/dark stuff. Speaking of books! There's this excellent book I read a couple years ago called "InHuman" by an Eric Leland if you're into Military novels and psychological horror, That's a good one! It's the only book I ever read that has physically disturbed me! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! If you're into that! ;)

    Love your videos. I’m always looking for new colonias as my wife and I are retiring in San Miguel de Allende. We’ve been there 6 times. I heard there is a colonia called, Allende which has flat streets. Can you make a video about that colonia? Thanks

    I've often wished I was recording myself so that I could remember what I was just talking about. But then I'd have to record everything I say 😅
