- Cindy and Fred are retired in Mexico, and they have a TH-cam channel called Life in Huatulco.
🍹 Subscribe to this channel: www.youtube.co...
Huatulco is a town (or a cluster of towns) in Oaxaca in southern Mexico. From hearing Fred and Cindy talk, it seems like the perfect place to live / retire. Cindy can help you relocate to Mexico, especially if Huatulco is your destination. See her website www.retireinme...
Cindy shares some great tips for moving to Mexico in this video and more in-depth tips on her new TH-cam channel: / lifeinhuatulco

The Mexico Relocation Guide is the perfect resource for moving to Mexico. We've partnered with them and you can get the guide here: mexicorelocati...
Cindy and Fred are wonderful people, and it is no wonder they've been interviewed so often.
Yes!
What a wonderful woman and a great interview. Huatulco is on the top of my list of places I want to move to. I even fell more in love with it during the interview as she reminded me about the eco system and all the fresh fruit and veggies and fish. I need to go over to her channel and watch her videos now. ☺♥
Cindy and her husband Fred have a spirit of service. One of the few You Tubers I truly admire. Thanks for posting this video!!!
Yes - it was so nice to get to know Cindy!
Many charge you $1.00 per minute. Greedy.
Brighton thank you so much for this video. I will look up Cindy’s videos. I am serious about visiting Oaxaca.
Please do!
She's with the fresh food too.
Gracias! Excelente video!!👍♥️
Huatulco is the jungle version of La Paz.
La Paz being more dry in climate.
@StellR86 Hmmm... maybe we chose poorly. I'm getting a bit tired of the desert up here.
@@AlmostRetiredinMexicoBeing from dry Summer’d but still very lush/green pacNW, like you, I would worry about humidity in low coastal areas. Some variation is available, find us a drier lush/gardening friendly spot, and we can shop together… : )
Just came across your channel and it's great! Great channel. "Gen Mexer" lol! Subscribed. I love Cindy's videos, they are a reason that I started my own YT channel
Dude... you have a professional voice btw!
Thanks Shaun - I love your style. I subscribed to your channel!
God bless you sweet lady 🙏 ❤
Thanks!
EZ I am honored by your kindness, thank you. Cindy
Loved this video. and Cindys hat!!!!👍👍
I need to ship her a hat!
I’m wondering about the humidity when Cindy talks about not having pain anymore. I have a chronic pain condition and humidity is one of the worst agitators. I was thinking a drier climate maybe in central Mexico may be best.
I live in the Baja Peninsula and there is very low humidity. I don't know a lot about central Mexico. Best of luck finding the perfect spot just for you!
@@AlmostRetiredinMexico Thanks for the reply! I am in the research phase and don’t know much about Mexican geography. I am watching a lot of videos! I will look at the Baja Peninsula further 😊
I’d check into the San Carlos/Guaymas area, too. It’s about 4 hours south of Nogales, has an established ex-pat community, and we found the humidity is actually no different than our hometown in California. If I wasn’t here and looking for low humidity I’d be looking at Baja, maybe Loreto or Los Barilles, or some place near Queretaro or Huasteca.
Mountain areas have cooler temps and less humidity
What is Cindy's TH-cam Channel? I am from the New Orleans area and my goal is to retire in Hautulco!

I love Huatulco
I've never been, but it's on my list now. I hope the hurricane did do too much damage!
@@AlmostRetiredinMexico great place to retire on a fixed income. safe for women! It's not a party town but it does have some of the most beautiful and relaxing beaches. Only down side, it can get a bit hot during the day.
I'm so confused of how all these videos show people retiring to Mexico on low pension incomes. The internet states you need temporary visas allow residency for six months up to four years initially. For permanent residency, applicants need proof of $4,300 to $4,500 in monthly income over the past six months or a minimum $180,000 savings balance each month for the past year.Oct 27, 2023. So how are retired low income pensioners from US and Canada living there.?
Sorry - the income requirements have skyrocketed in recent years. Most people entered before the changes, or they had traveled to Mexico in the past and were eligible for an amnesty type program for tourists who overstayed their visa. Or they are just crossing the border every 6 months and getting tourist visas (which can be risky because policies could change to make this impossible.)
I'm planning to make a video about this soon.
How can l meet this couple in October/23

I found Cindy's video first... I am so HAPPY that you turned the tables on her and NOW we have double the fun! So much great information to think over. Love this one!!! I love stories and Brighton, you have a gift for interviewing!! Not only did your stories fit the topics very well, but great Segway into Cindy's stories. Please do more of these?? We have sunshine in Oregon for the first time in a couple weeks today... So getting outside... More later
-->th-cam.com/video/hG58HQnnUpY/w-d-xo.html here is another one for you to interview Brighton :)
Thanks for your kind words. We are enjoying that Oregon sun today. We arrived yesterday in the rain. I’ll definitely do more. And I’ll reach out to Marc (and Pam, right?)
I found Cindy's first too. They are one of the reason's I started making videos!
This sounds like something I need. I'm 77 but can still get around good but I'm bored to death and living in Arkansas it's been cold, windy and snow. Would like to get out of this. Going to son's graduation ceremony in Charleston and he gets a bachelor's degree,so can't miss that. I only have social security. I really enjoyed your video. Hope to get more information from you in the future,after may 5th I'll be ready
Come on down! Sooner is better because the income requirements to get a residency visa go up every year. Mexico is waiting for you!
I think I'm getting mixed messages from different people,it seems I don't get enough social security income to live there. People was saying 7 or 8 hundred to live in certain areas,and I just didn't think about,that amount wasn't what the government requires. I didn't separate the two
@@everettsanders4672 You can probably live on less than $1000 a month in Mexico, but you couldn't get residency. You'd need to leave the country every 6 months. And there's no guarantee they will let you back in - they might only give you 7 days when you are hoping for 6 months. So it's risky - but lot's of people do it.
@@AlmostRetiredinMexico Thank you,just a confirmation of what I suspected
So happy for you! I hope you have your best life ever!
PLEASE DON'T MISS THE "L". PLEASE PRONOUNCE IT: HUATUL-L--L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-LCO!!!!!!!!
I would be interested in how many churches,, movie theatres and libraries they had, as well as anything else social they had. of course the music there is apparent. just more intellectual pursuits i'm interested in. Thanks!
I've never been, but you can find Cindy over on her channel. She may be able to answer. www.youtube.com/@retireinmexico
Do you speak Spanish? Libraries will likely be in Spanish. There's a nice English library in Ajijic and I know there's an English / Spanish bookstore in La Paz. Gringos are a pretty small part of the population in most parts of Mexico.
Very expensive now. Most things are more than the United States and the new government is very scary now be careful things are changing in Mexico
Good afternoon Brighton. Awesome interview!! Huatulco wasn't exactly on my radar, but it sure was a treat listening to Cindy in this talk. I subscribed to her channel. This definitely looks like a place to visit once down there! The area may be too small for what we want, but the ocean and the residents sounds divine!!
Those were some awesome recommendations that Cindy gave at the end of the video, as well.
Safe travels!!
I remember watching Cindy's earlier videos - when she renovated her rental. Love her attitude!
I keep hearing that people's health improves when they move to Latin America, and it inspires me to no end! I need to move there. I have hope now, and thank you for feeding it!
Some university needs to study the health impact of moving out of the US! See you in Mexico soon!
@Almost Retired in Mexico I honestly believe enough statistical information exists to make comparisons. Studies were done in Japan, which gives facts that elevation, pure air, and pure drinking water along with superfruits can cause people to live over 130 years. There are many factors in other geographical areas, but clean air, clean water, and super foods seems to top the list. And, reduced stress. The 9 to 5 "ratrace" takes decades off your life.
I live in mex.very few preservatives. Fresh produce. Fresh air. Vitamin d and plenty of it.. exercise.
I love watching Cindy's videos so much we are about to leave for our second trip to Huatulco
Hope you enjoy it Mchael!
@@AlmostRetiredinMexico you got me wanting to almost retire at 49!
@Michael Moore It's possible. Check out this video (she didn't want to include her age in the video, but she's the age you mentioned ;-) th-cam.com/video/CYNmZIbnuP8/w-d-xo.html
Americans living in Huatulco, Mexico, are like tropical chameleons who've perfected the art of blending in while secretly dreaming of sunscreen-flavored tacos! They've mastered the delicate balance between sipping margaritas on the beach and attending neighborhood meetings to debate the proper guacamole consistency. With their trusty sombreros and Spanish dictionaries, they navigate the local markets like pros, bargaining for trinkets while trying to decipher whether "hot sauce" means "a bit spicy" or "prepare for a volcanic eruption." But don't be fooled, they're not just here for the sunshine; they've adopted the laid-back lifestyle that's all about mañana, whether it's mañana morning or mañana next week. So, while they may start their day with a sunrise yoga session, it's followed by an afternoon siesta that can easily extend to dinnertime. Huatulco's American residents bring a slice of the USA to this sunny paradise, one beach umbrella at a time! Nice video, Casi Jubilado en Mexico!
Well said!
What a wonderful story!
It's true about "recalibrating" your medicines when living a more relaxing lifestyle, especially blood pressure.
Exactly Bill - I never would have thought about this if someone hadn't shared their experience.
What a sweet lady! Have you met in person? Looks like this might have been filmed during the pandemic! Just wondering if Huatulco is mostly and retirement community ?
We haven't met in person - only by Zoom. I haven't been to Huatulco, so I'm not sure if there are younger expats or older expats. You can reach out to @retireinmexico
Hows the internet? What kinda hot spot internet? I’m thinking about coming for a few months.
Cindy doesn't read the comments here. But you can find her on TH-cam here: th-cam.com/users/LifeinHuatulco
Can you tell me about living and retiring in Mexico, as a diabetic? An insulin dependent diabetic?
Hmmm... That's not something I have experience with and not something I've heard people talk about. You might want to visit the FB Group "Expats in Mexico" and ask there. Good luck!
How can I buy house in Huatulco? It’s safe to buy, no te roban los que venden?
Yes - just find a trustworthy real estate agent.
How do I find international movers register oxaca I need more info what airlines hoes there how far into beach
I'm sorry I don't know. Check out Cindy's channel: www.youtube.com/@retireinmexico
I want to visit and then move maybe 1 week will do find a place to move thx I love the beach
Enjoy!
Do you know if there is still a Club Med there, I spent a week there and they took us to Hatulco on a night out , I remember there was a lovely village we walked around with shop and restaurants , are there any golf courses near by , now that I am retired I play several times a week, thank you
It looks like Club Med has been rebranded in Huatulco. Cindy isn't watching comments here, so best to contact her on one of her videos here: th-cam.com/users/LifeinHuatulco
Can you share the link for Cindy's channel or videos...I'm interested in moving to Huatulco and i need some help with rentals,,,,
Cindy may be able to help! You can find her at th-cam.com/users/LifeinHuatulco
Is this a religious retreat? A Christian run town?
Most Mexicans are Catholic, but I don’t think Hautulco is any more religious than other plsces
I've this lady and fred..I didd not know of them in a while thanks
More information is Always good information .👍
Thanks Dave!
"bones don't hurt" yes
We will be cruising there very soon very exitex
I know hualtuco is that city for me
Heyyyyy Cindy! Love her
Good interview! We are new subscribers, following a recommendation from one of our subscribers. We can't wait to dig into your other videos!
Welcome aboard! And I just subscribed to your channel too!
Is hot in the summer?
We are having a very hot April and May. We get put early and after 5:30pm Things cool off nicely. Out door family time at night. Errand time in the morning.
It's so interesting how different parts of Mexico get hot at different times. In La Paz, the hottest months are September and October (or at least that's the months that feel the hottest.)
Then again great weather
I like the more water 💦 too.the pacific ocean.
And We all have our Lady of Guadalupe.
i liked this. Congratulations. You talked about having choices en Mexico,: weather, culture, budget, city, town, slow pace, etc....
Thanks Mary
Excellent information, I’m curious, I’ll watch her TH-cam channel in order to improve my hear skills 👍🏼
Yes - it’s a great way to improve your English (but I think my fast-English is the challenge you’re most up for!)

Congrats on the low BP! Where are you living? Would you be willing to talk about this on camera? It sounds like it's a thing that people moving south need to think about!! Thanks You can email me at brighton@gen-mex.com
