Love your videos ! Do you drive an Ontario plated car ? Have you run into any issues coming down or while on your road trips around PV?

Thank you and subscribed! We are going to Puerto Vallarta in January and I think you tips will be very useful, especially the pedestrian non-right of way, 😬. In addition to being helpful, you seem like nice people!

EXPATriate: to remove oneself from native land.

Any protestant churches?

Love your podcasts!!! Want to hear more about your take on schools! How are your kids doing at school? How do you feel about Mexican education

Nice job. Can't wait to be there in two weeks.

LOVE PV BEEN GOING THERE FOR THE LAST 25 YRS. I PREFER LOW SEASON. LOVE IT

Let the lady talk more….she’s more approachable and pertinent in her words and opinions

I am from the States and moved here 6 years ago. I have permanent residency . I call myself an expat = "Ex. Patriot " . It's more of a statement "about leaving" the US and not really about " being here ". I still hold my US passport.. my primary language is English almost exclusively. My bank accounts are in the US , as is my Business connection. . I would call myself an immigrant if I became a citizen of Mexico with full voting privileges and carried a Mexican passport as I live completely within the system. I see the term "immigrant" as being fully, absolutely immersed in the country having moved to. I think the entire argument about Expat versus immigrant title among ourselves is just ridiculous. You may call yourself whatever you wish. Why do others feel the right to call you out on how you see yourself in the world.. it's just an opinion and everyone has one and perhaps because it is an aging community here. It's much more testy. A lot of people , as the age, just get angrier instead of just enjoying life more and more with a devil may care attitude..

whats xpat

I truely love what your saying

Marc & Kathleen, I really enjoyed this discussion, and excited to hear about the upcoming videos you have coming. The short term and Long term rental tips will be very helpful. Many travellers try to find credible information online, and sometimes it is hit or miss. So, what you are doing is very much appreciated. I like that you are both exploring other parts of Mexico, and from what you describe, there is more to the region than is known. Puerto Vallarta is considered a small town, yet still growing. I am curious to know how big PV is now. Is it still smaller than a place like Toronto? The neighboring towns, are they far away or close enough to visit by bus for a day? I like learning about the different neighbourhoods. Thanks for keeping this channel positive and real. Victor

What a great conversation. As someone who is now so uncertain of her own country due to unimaginable poltiical disconnect, you two really approach this topic with so much kindness and respect. I am so grateful for the people in this world that can retain their curiosity and respect for different cultures and understand that we all mostly want the same things in this life-- love, peace and understanding. Thank you!!

Please feel free to share my contact information with the person about whom you were speaking having a more conservative opinion. I've also heard immigrants referred to as Pilgrims in history

Politics aside, I do think that US culture has elevated complaining to an art form. We experience something negative (a delay, a mishap, an odd or slightly unpleasant encounter) and we can't wait to relay this to our friends and family, and in the telling we make it into a good story (not pointing fingers, I was very adept at spinning these fun stories myself!). Now that I'm immersed in Mexican culture (and am avoiding US news and most social media) I do find that it is highly off-putting. When living there (US) it's just the norm; out of the US it's negative and draining. It's not that Mexicans never complain, it's just that they're more laid back in general and go with the flow. Recently delayed 2+ hours in a small bus due to a traffic issue (malfunctioned truck blocking highway, no alternative routes around it). There was no complaining. Zero. No heavy sighs. No tongue clucks. No negative body language. There was also no cell service in this mountainous rural area. Some got off the bus to do their business in the dark roadside; most just hunkered down watching the movie on the screen. It was glorious! I have found plenty of foreign residents who do continue this here, and it's hard to be around. Carry on!

12:16 yesssss

Nice Hey here in the USA the air feels negative very toxic and i mean people lol everywhere you go people are angry and look depressed something bad going on here .I do have a home in mexico up in Los Altos Jalisco best weather up there clean and nice people with tons of fiestas always something going on and thats where im moving to in a couple of years.Good Video

PESO-USD sxchange rate as of 11/22/24 is back to 20:1, so thats not an issue now.

What would u call seasonal migrant workers who are in the U.S. for 6 months at a time? They don't stay permanently, only come to work, they live and work on agricultural farms all day everyday. Are they expats, migrants, immigrants, aliens👽?

Hi guys, as a felow canadian living in a suburd of toronto, i have thought about moving to PVR. im wondering if you have had any regrets about leaving? Maybe a video about this would be helpful for others

well if you are looking for a place to rent for 3-6 months in la cruz de huanacaxtle, check out casa nayita. beautiful pool, ac, internet, only 6 units. 4 blocks to the beach by the marina. cafe next door. great little town and great place to stay!

I have heard that artificial intelligence has take out a lot of people from teaching English here in Puerto Vallarta it was like a really good way to make money and it no longer exists

San Sebastian is beautiful and its history is very interesting. The coffee plantation is pretty and has a lot of delicious products for sale. The church is very pretty and i hope to go back again

Sending you guys only positive vibes. 👍👍

Bangin podcast! Love the topic selection! To the audience, don’t lead with political conversations. Love, live life yall!

It's kind of disappointing to hear to Canadian's being annoyed by US politics. Dumping on progressives being negative. As if you don't know - or simply don't care about women's rights, racism, white supremacy, or US citizen's rights. Our country is crisis - and if people want to talk about it, don't listen.

You guys are awesome! Keep up the great vlogs! I'm looking forward to seeing your short-term long-term info video. My husband and I are looking forward to going to PV. thinking of moving to Mexico permanently.

San Sebastian is beautiful little town. We have been there twice. We are about to spend the first week in December in P.V. Can't wait to eat the tasty tacos again.

I don't like those "seasonal" tourist locations. Everyone gets excited about people with money coming in, then depressed when people leave. Prices go too high, then too low.

The geckos are insectivorous so they like to munch on cockroaches along with other insect pests. They don't bite you and are perfectly safe to have living in your home. Cockroaches don't like the smell of citrus so leaving some orange peels around outside your doors into your house helps keep them from just walking in. Mint grows great in PV and that works great to keep them away. Using borax kills them. Buena suerte!

Looking forward to that short term rental info. I need 2 weeks in June. Best to you both! adios!

MLD logo is asking to be red white and green :) Best part of PV/Mexico travel is being able to shut off the politics and not dealing with that and just interacting with people one human level. Sounds like all is well with you, great to hear...hope you enjoyed your trip(s).

Hola

I gotta ask, how did you do it? How did you leave Canada to make Mexico your new home? We are trying to do this.

This is beautiful. Halloween and Dia de los Muertos. The costumes look great and everyone is having fun. They seem to take it to a whole other level. I am glad you all had a good time. Victor

Great Video! I'm planning on taking a trip to PV soon with my girlfriend, around january. My dad seems to think it won't be safe, so I was just wondering your guys take on this seeing as you live there? Would it be safe for me and my girlfriend? Neither of us speak spanish and we both look hispanic..

After all the Halloween goodies, can someone please suggest a dentist in Northern PV 😵‍💫 🙏

I haven't been to any of the Birriarias you have been to. I would like to try them. My favorite is in Versalles. Birriaria Don Pancho cart with sit in tables. Corner of Viena and Niza. They were my first and I haven't liked any I've tried anywhere else as much as Don Pancho's. I think they put cinnamon or anise in it, just a touch, but makes all of the difference. I order them blandito with onion and cilantro and of course the consomme. With a nice aguas fresca. I hope you check them out. I just subscribed. 😊

Cuando le digo a la gente que el sueldo mínimo para que alguien viva bien es de 50K pesos, se rien, dicen que los ricos ganan eso.

Liar 🤥!! As far as I know thousands have plans to move there!!!!

the guy is very soft spoken with a good lecturing voice, however i cannot agree with you in the slightest about horrible PV, the prices now are 2 to 3 times that of say Guadalajara where I live now. PV is not really Mexico anymore, its some kind of weird Miami Beach experience without the good usa customer service. not only is the price level out of this world due to the Mexican high ongoing inflation but also the very poor exchange rate of the euro and us dollar , not to mention the can. dollar also. Mexico is booming now and they have massive foreign investment and do not need or want our tourist dollars. I know PV well and used to go anno 1987 and into that time frame when it was far more affordable. Not only are the abusive "white face taxes" very high in PV the customer service and treatment in the restaurants and such is extremely poor. The attitude is : if you dont like it , get lost, the next tourist ( we can abuse) is around the corner. And, I speak good Spanish. We dont encounter that as much in Guadalajara at all. I think PV sucks and would never ever return to there for any length of time. In Guadalajara most of the expats and foreigners left during and before covid, when it was starting, and never came back. I dont see at all the level of foreign tourists here at all and after covid they mostly did not come back. Since PV is so very expensive now and also looks to abuse the average foreign tourist, there are many other worldwide resorts in that price category of non cheap where one gets a much better treatment and also more bang for the buck. The couple presenting seems nice enough and sincere enough however why someone would remain in PV, not to mention the terrible summers there, is beyond me. What about your massive Ac bill you will have there summers in the hundreds of dollars USD? We do not have that in Guadalajara where it is a dry semi desert climate with no humidity, not even summers. Yiou vastly underestimate the costs now in PV when you say it has become " a bit" more expensive. the fact is tha it has more than doubled over just a few years ago given that the foreign currencies also now are near worthless in overpriced Mexico. My Walmarts Mexico close to my house is much much more expensive than Walmarts USA and by far. So much for my commentary. Nonetheless I did subscribe and gave you a thumps up but you need to not whitewash what PV really costs now. Just say, it costs the same as home in the usa but for less quality than you would have home. case closed ! Saludos, RM, Guadalajara , Mexico where I have been in and out since 1984 !

Love it!!!

Saludos vecinos! Puerto Vallarta es muy amigable 🎉

Cost of living rising in states too if you’ve been gone for only 2-5 yrs and you’d be shocked to see how unaffordable it is to live in US. It’s going to get worse because of current political changes. Now is the time to leave
