I’m so glad I saw this video god bless you guys. I was so hesitant about Mexico because of the bad things you hear on the news. But after hearing you drive there was truly incredible I was going to Colombia but now that I know I can drive there and bring my stuff like Apple iMac 27” makes México the clear choice. Do you still have your Canadian plates on your car or did you change to Mexican plates
Thank for watching and commenting :) We had ZERO issues driving here and we had our car packed to the point stuff was falling out when we'd open the doors LOL Like anywhere at anytime bad or inconvenient things can happen - please plan vigorously and use sound judgement. Best thing about the news is turning it off and living your best life ❤️
I used to live in Washington, DC. I got tired of all of the stress and just plain ugliness there. In May of 2022, my roommate and I packed everything we needed, sold the rest and moved to Bucerias, Nayarit. Best decision of my life.
Love it! We got here in November. Bucerias is beautiful we’ve gone 3-4 times already. We considered moving there but decided on PV. We love eating local eats in the town square there.
i thank you for the wonderful comments about my Country , i'm a Mexican Citizen who has lived most of my life in California and now i'm ready to go back home to spend the remaining of my life in Ensenada Baja California , i was born 7+ decades ago in Guadalajara but i found a place 3 streets from the Beach in Ensenada at a reasonable price (25years ago) and built my home here . i commute from Southern Calif where i own a home to Mexico to spend the most peaceful time and breathe the clean salty air , i appreciate the respectful comments about the Mexican people and our Heritage and rich Culture , Hugs to you all 😍
Thank you for your wonderful comment :) happy to know you will soon be coming back. The sentiment about this wonderful country and culture has only gotten stronger :)
It felt like I really needed to see this video. I live in Toronto, and been thinking about retiring to Puerto Vallarta in the future. I have been in PV only once before and never stopped thinking about it. The winter here had been making everything feel gloomy. Thank you for this, and the inspiration.
Thank you for your wonderful msg ❤️ We felt the exact same and weren’t feeling like we were the best versions of ourselves in Toronto. Trust your gut and trust your heart - they’ll lead you in the right direction 😊
Thank you ❤️ we’re going to start tracking it to do a full breakdown of expenses. We’ve had visitors on and off so we’ve been unsuccessful at it lol but it’s coming 😎
Hey Kathleen! Bien hecho! In agreement around all these reasons you have picked PV/Mexico! Although I’ve never been to PV, I know the pacific side of mexico quite well. Sounds like you picked a good place. As for tourists and prices, I was in Yucatan and Merida/El Progreso for 3 weeks in January - and yes, prices were much, much higher than expected. Not sure what is going on in MX, inflation etc, but it’s not inexpensive anymore. Cheers.
Muchas gracias Ryan :) glad you enjoyed the episode. Thankfully we're still finding local eats and shopping very affordable vs. what we used to pay in Toronto. That being said, like many places, Toronto prices have gone bananas these last couple of years from their already high prices.
Me too- have temp residency and have only been to PV in Mexico so far - planning to move to Mexico later this year and it will be PV or Puerto MoReLoS to start. It will be hard to adjust to the heat though- both my trips were in the hottest time of the year and it was about 90-95 F every day.
Awesome! We find the weather perfect right now - hot days and cool nights. We’ve yet to spend a summer here and we’ve heard it gets 🔥We’re hoping to travel all around Mexico and seeing what else is out there having PV as our home base. Not saying we’ll be here forever but it sure will be hard to beat :)
Greetings from Tucson, Arizona. I'm in the process of selling almost everything and plan on making the trip as soon as all of the paperwork is completed.
We’re hoping to move to Mexico next year. What I would like to have information on (besides just words) is weather but month to month. I one it’s more humid than western states but I’ve had some friends who live there warn about the “hot months”. In Colorado I’m cold for 6 months! Love to hear from you on this.
The weather is amazing in the winter time (approx 25-30c and sunny daily) - very hot and humid in the summer time (40+ including humidity and sunny daily and usually rains in the evening). It’s honestly some of the most consistent weather I’ve ever experienced in my life.
love the video! I subscribed for future videos. I am in Alberta and moving to PV this year. very excited. I've visited PV 3 times and i love it. I went to a few other places in mexico and PV was my fav. nice to hear from other Canadians on their opinions. Thank you for sharing.
We’ve heard that this year has been different. It does make sense with the ease in Covid restrictions for Canadians specifically. Hopefully it finds balance in the future. We’re just thankful to be here and call PV our new home - looking forward to travelling around and seeing the many other beautiful towns in Mexico 😊
I love PV My wife and I have talk about living there many times. I really enjoyed the video great info as we are from Canada as well. we just came back from a 2 week holiday and i was surprised how many people on vacation this time and the airport just packed lol. thanks for the video looking forward to watching more and dreaming of living there one day 🙂
Stop dreaming - start planning 😝 Depending on the time of year/week you’re coming it can get a little crazy but at least it’s always a good time. Thanks for watching and commenting Todd 😊
Hi! Loved your video! Thinks for sharing the great info very helpful for someone considering the move like me. Planning a trip to check it out and lots of researching. Was mostly wondering about the mosquitos there and in Bucerias. Muchos Gracias
Thank you :) We don't find the mosquitos to be an Issue here although they could be - it really depends where you stay when you're here. When we first got here we stayed all the way up the mountain in the jungle and they were pretty bad.
Also, if you have any trusted referrals for realtors or home purchases and for short and long term rental companies that are good but economical would love that information. Mucho Gracias
Hi, thanks for commenting 😊 We live in Colonia 5 De Diciembre. We love this neighbourhood as it’s conveniently close to everything and still has a lot of locals living in it.
Wow sorry for the auto correct. It was before coffee. 😂. I know it is says to be hot and humid. I guess what I want to know is how does it feel to you? Is it miserable? Tolerable? Comparatively speaking to other areas in the US? How many months would you say are bad? Do they have a spring and winter? Thank you!
It is VERY hot. We haven't done much travel in the states but it's basically like the hotest summer day in Toronto everyday. You will sweat as soon as you step outdoors. For me (Marc) it's tolerable - and I didn't move to PV to be cold. For women it's definitely more uncomfortable. It's very hot for about 3 months - the good thing is now when it's below 25 it feels so nice and cool outside.
35 year old canadian here. been living in la cruz de huanacaxtle ( 30 minutes from pvr) for about 4 years now! summers are not great, winters are much more comfortable! btw you can always get maple syrup at costco (the kirkland brand) and if you fill in youll be here for 180 days on your immigration form there is no visa to attain..... and if you go over it there is a small fee to pay at the airport before you fly out and you can literally fly to Phoenix, stay the night and come back the next day and stay another 180 days, you just gotta be out of the country for 24 hours thats all. if you guys ever wanna check out la cruz give me a response, its a cute little town and i got rentals with a nice pool close to the beach ! cheers
Hola thanks for watching 😊 Oh trust us we’ve re-upped our maple syrup many times lol we also have our temporary residency. We love La Cruz ➡️ MEXICAN HIDDEN GEM 🇲🇽 LA CRUZ DE HUANACAXTLE (A BREAK FROM PUERTO VALLARTA) th-cam.com/video/zO804jtbDNs/w-d-xo.html
i got my permanent residency, i thought getting married here would help but nope what gave it to me was having a baby! was pretty much automatic after that! @@Morelifediaries
I just got back from PV 4-28-24, one week went very fast. I saw Malecón area mostly, loved the food, shrimp burritos are well made. Check out Cafe Bohemia , great food. I would consider PV or Guadalajara next place to live. What is your rent or mortgage payment in your colonia?
That’s great! Beautiful area to be in and you’re right 1 week goes by way too fast 😆 we out together a house tour video if you’re interested with our rent amount $
I love your videos! We are a Mexican family living in Barrie Ontario and we want to move to Puerto Vallarta lol we have a car that we love and we'd like to keep so was pretty impressed when i heard you drove and you were able to keep your car, Can you point me in the right direction to know how to legalize a Canadian vehicle in Mexico ?
Hi Jonathan, we got a TIP (temporary import permit) at the boarder crossing which will last us the duration of our temporary residency here in mexico (4 years renewed yearly). It is different if you get Permanent residency through your wife as you'll need to import your car. I'll link more info below, We took 11days total to drive from Toronto but we took our time. Stayed a few nights in a few different cities on the way town.
Hi thanks for watching 😊 They got hit by a hurricane in 2021 (Nora). I just researched previous to that and PV was only hit twice before in the last 50 years (2002 and 1971). Hopefully we good for the next 20 Years or so lol
Great video. We’re thinking of going in November or December for one month. We’d love suggestions on where to stay with children and if their are homeschooling groups for ages 9-13. My husband will most likely take a few days off work but I’ll mostly be working. I’ll be with the kiddos and hopefully find a rad homeschooling community
Thank you! That’s a great time to come - lots of festivities. There are some all around! Our kids go to Montessori however there are PV parent Facebook groups you can join and see where specifically there are home school pods.
Great video, definitely great reasons to move to Mexico 🇲🇽. I'm also Canadian from North of Toronto. Is there any reason that you didn't choose Panama over Mexico and do you think as a Canadian dollars that you have a edge when you transfer the pesos compared to the American dollar. I would be going as a pensioner.
Thank you 😊 we didn’t consider Panama because of their political position on Covid. Although it is a beautiful country and we once considered moving there in 2016. CAD and USD both aren’t doing well - we’re currently making USD and transferring to pesos.
@@Morelifediaries 180 days is it enoght to become a permanent resident? Maybe you may do some video about it.. I think it's should be interesting to all your followers. Thanks for response
Something is calling me to move from Long Beach Ca to PV. I’m just concerned about work. Thinking about buying property while here in the US but what will i do for work once I’m out there? Any advice I’d appreciated.
Thanks for commenting 😊 It all depends what you’re currently doing for work and what your skills are. There are tons of online job opportunities. I would suggest seeing what type of jobs are out there first and figuring out what you see yourself doing in 5-10 years. FlexJobs is a solid website to find international work if you’re interested. Hope that somewhat helped lol best of luck 😊
Of course you may 😊 Our oldest is enrolled in a Spanish Montessori school and our youngest will be attending later on this year. Homeschool pods are also becoming more popular in the area.
@@Morelifediaries Thank you for responding. Just to let you know, I enjoyed your video so much. Further ?'s if that's okay, can I be directed if you have info, on these pods for online courses. I feel like there's so much info for traveling families, but don't know where to start. Due to regulations in our state on vaccinations, we want to get out of here asap😔 on the education part.
We’d love to help with more info. You can reach out to us at morelifediaries@gmail.com. We can send you some resources and info about schooling and other groups that may be helpful for you.
Hello, thanks for watching. There’s rent below that much and above that much - really depends on many factors - neighborhood being one of them. You’ll definitely find something in that price range.
With all due respect: the term expat is offensive to most Mexicans that are not in tourist places, the right term is, immigrants, just like Mexicans are called in the US and Canada. Is like telling Mexicans that they are some how more special than Mexicans when living in Mexico. The reason why people from the US started to used the nonsense none factual label of expat, it is because they have given the term, immigrant, a negative connotation and they don't want to be associated with it (even though they are descendents of immigrants 🤣). No hate, just asking for due respect ✌️
Hi thanks for watching and commenting 😊 It’s our understanding that expats are non permanent residents and immigrants are permanent residents. Although our goal is to become immigrants to this beautiful country we only have our temporary residency at the moment (as it’s not permanent would this fit the expat definition?). In all cases WE prefer immigrant and our intentions are to become immigrants in Mexico.
With all due respect, they ARE EXPATS. They said that they would be frequently going back and visiting the states and they still have their citizenship. They are not immigrants because the definition of immigrant is someone who does NOT intend to go back to their home country. Look up the definition and leave this nice couple alone. People need to stop getting offensive over something that is so silly 🙄 Have a good day!
Thanks for watching ☺️ this is our first summer. It’s getting pretty hot and humid (30-35celcius on the daily). It’s manageable right now (we also don’t use A/C) but we’ve heard it’ll get significantly more hot and humid once the rainy season starts. Keep ya updated lol
¡Gracias! Parece muy hermoso - lo visitaremos algún día. Eventualmente querremos mover en una ciudad más pequeña que PV pero todavía no sabemos dónde jaja

People need to stop getting offensive over something that is so silly 🙄 Have a good day!

I love that it's very gay accepting in PV.
As do we! We do believe that it's one of the reasons PV is so safe :)
How are you doing with the humidity in the summertime? I visited PV this past March, during the high season, and loved its mild weather.
Thanks for watching ☺️ this is our first summer. It’s getting pretty hot and humid (30-35celcius on the daily). It’s manageable right now (we also don’t use A/C) but we’ve heard it’ll get significantly more hot and humid once the rainy season starts. Keep ya updated lol
Top number 1 reason not to move there. To many gringos now & over price bcs of that.
Ok
Hola saludos desde los altos de jalisco pero no son expats son inmigrantes
San blas nayarit es mas bonito y mas barato amigos
¡Gracias! Parece muy hermoso - lo visitaremos algún día. Eventualmente querremos mover en una ciudad más pequeña que PV pero todavía no sabemos dónde jaja
