I absolutely fell in love with the people and culture when I lived in Cuernavaca. People are so helpful and super friendly.
Smileysue74 Just visited my Cousin's this past March went with my 2 Grown Son's & Husband..Tell you what I could live there..It was so beautiful & many Cultural things to see & visit..We all loved it!!!Mexico City too..My family showed us a fantastic 12 days..Can't wait to go back!! Glad you like living there
Gracias Wolter. I'm from UK and will visit Mexico for the first time in Sept for my 50th birthday and I found your video invaluable. Thank you very much and keep up your good work.
how was it?
Thanks C'sr :) I appreciate the kind words. I have always enjoyed Mexico and the people especially and I am glad to hear from you. We were scheduled to visit Canada last summer, but I was offered a teaching gig in China last minute and ended up in China instead of Canada. But we are hoping to get to Montreal and Quebec perhaps in March/April or late summer next year. But its always up in the air. Thanks for the support and I will do my best on the Canada front! Thanks!
I love Mexico. I go every year to Michoacan.
I am learning Spanish right now. It is my dream to come to mexico and be an english teacher
Hi, just a commenter curious if you did learn and go to Mexico after 4 or 5 years of this comment? It would be interesting to hear your story.
@@melissaadami3144 same
Update us!! I hope your goals came true.
Mexico is awesome !
Im from Washington state but my home away from home is Ensenada, Baja California. that's where all my family is and boy is it BEAUTIFUL.
I am a Mexican living in Mexico City for 20 years, and I have found this video incredibly accurate. Congrats on really making an effort to get to know the world!
Thanks David! I always loved Mexico (especially the people) and wanted to help people better understand that Mexico is not tacos and margaritas but a fantastic place with amazing food, great sites and so much more. all the best to you David!
No worries, I used to live in Portugal and would travel a lot with my family while we lived there. Also, I am a university professor so I teach lots of places for example I taught in China last summer which gave me a chance to teach (which I love) and travel (which I love) with my family (which I love) So it helps. Also, I try to save up every dime so we can travel and then when we do I make all these videos and sometimes it takes a while to get them uploaded. China was June-August & Im not done
Is good to find someone who knows and gives good advice about a beautiful country like México, and is from another country. Bienvenidos a México, anytime!
I will be visiting Cancún in June with my wife who is from Monterrey!
I enjoyed really enjoyed this video. As mexican woman i feel very proud of mexican food. It is unique & tasty but I totally agree that if you´re not used spicy food you might try to avoid hot sauces, etc
Yes! And I was always telling the tourists from the US when they put the "picante" "muy picante" and 'muy muy picante" labels on the food that it is not the same as the US. Of course people wouldn't listen and get the muy muy picante and I could just see the tears well up in their eyes :) but I tried. But man... I LOVE MEXICAN FOOD FROM MEXICO IT IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!! Sorry, I am just a big fan :) thank you for writing and commenting!
Thank you! You make me feel so proud of my country : D
You really love Mexico and, as a mexican ( born and raised ) I thank you for loving our country. You and yours will always be welcome in Mexico , cus ' if you love us, we'll love you back : 3
Robert Gilmore What actually makes you afraid??!! Just curious
For sure,the people I've met in Mexico are nothing short of wonderful, very different then what you think....give it a shot,you'll come back.....
As everyone say, Mexico is good! but, like everywhere, there are good and bad people, and not all mexico is insecure (at least Yucatan, Quintana Roo, Chiapas) and we are friendly with everyone inside and outside of the country :)
I am going to Cancun next summer! Vivir la buena vida!!!!
yes, I am the cashcow professor (I actually have a video on that I filmed in Milan I believe).
Nuerenburg is nice. I have gone a few times at Christmas for the Christmas markets and they have a great german folk art museum as well. the sausages there are really good too (small ones like breakfast sausages in the US). I have not gone back since I started making my travel videos though. I was there in 2000, 2001, 2005, 2006 and 2009. Loved it each time.
Both thailand n mexico are my fav countries to visit, i recommend both to everyone because:1) price 2) super nice people n safe area 3) beautiful ocean 4) spicy n savory food just fit my palette
I am a university professor as a day job. the travel thing brings basically no money in, I travel because I love it, I make the videos because I love to help others have fun traveling
I as a mexican would like to suggest that if a tourist ever encounters theft or any particular situation while visiting Mexico, its best to report it to their embassy. Avoid the police, they're the least helpful people there is in the nation. They will only make the situation worse. Traveling & driving in Mexico is relatively safe, however precautions always are to be taken. For instance, avoid driving at night and spend the night near tollbooths instead since there's always transit.
You are a great person, thanks for loving méxico! You are always welcome here! 3
that's a nice pyramid in the back
I live in Tennessee and worked with a crew of Mexicans. I have eaten some of the real Mexican foods that they cooked and, yes, it is delicious but it will also tear out your guts if you eat the stuff that's as spicy as what they are used to! Easy on the sauce!
BushmasterXM15E2S If you find mexicans living and usa you are not trying the real mexican food, for that you have to come here.
Stayed a few days in Mexico City a few weeks ago. Loved it even though my Spanish is very limited. Good cheap food and friendly people. Felt totally safe walking around at night in the area I was in.
you are very welcome. thank you for watching and commenting!
I completely agree. I drove from monterray to guadaljara a couple times, that was fun :) but we stopped a lot along the way. so beautiful. thanks for watching and commenting! I appreciate it!
Thanks Kopec :) I have some more videos from Mexico and China to put together then we are back onto Europe. So October and early November videos are Mexico & China then end of November through January we have, Germany, Italy, Croatia and a few USA videos. Thanks for the support!
I like this guy because he shows the truth. Maybe it is problematic in Mexico but it is not mayhem here. The problems are in certain areas like the slums of Ciudad Juárez and Acapulco, but not all of the city. Cancún is the best as well. I think media will only show you what will scare you to grab your attention. I've lived in Acapulco, and now I'm living in Mexico City and I have never witnessed or experienced a crime.
+Jonathan Carmona I've been living in Jalisco for the past 12 years and have also never experienced any crime, when I was living in California I would constantly get robbed, and I also witnessed a lot of violence. I think most places in Mexico are safer than in the U.S.
Thanks (on the video and hair compliments) :)
I started the videos because I wanted to help travelers in ways that guidebooks were not, I feel sometimes guidebooks have to be "nice" and try to avoid controversy or upsetting people. I am not trying to upset people, but I am trying to educate tourists so they have an idea beforehand. thanks for the support! comments like your's make doing these videos worthwhile. THANKS!
Thank you sir, you are as friendly as our Mexico!!!
Thank you. I have loved Mexico since my first visit in 1994. My dad worked there for a number of years too and we had so many great people from Mexico come visit us at our home in the US. great place with great people
It is one of my dreams to visit The U.S, I live in southern Canada, a province named Manitoba...
Will be visiting the united states as soon as I can.
Hopefully one day!!!
I hope you get there soon. have a great time when you do! all the best to you!
My best wishes to you too dear amigo!
You've really inspired me to visit Mexico (I was always a bit fascinated by this country anyway!) I also love your videos, there always so informative and it's so refreshing to hear someone talk about foreign countries and different places with such an open minded manner.
you have to visit the city of Guanajuato and San Miguel de Allende ;)
Great tip! You're absolutely right
thank you
I came across your videos recently while researching on my next travel vacation to Europe with my wife. I've been traveling all over places since I was a kid...and is one of the things for which I'm so grateful to my parents. Traveling is so enrichment. Thanks for your "5 thiings..." video series. My wife an I really enjoy them.
Thanks for the nice comments, totally agree with you!
Regards
I agree! People are definitely the best part of my beautiful country :)
Thank you for uploading this!
I just want to thank you for how you express my country. People like you are always welcome.
thank you littleobed :) can't wait to go back!
Welcome back my friend!!
Great video I never knew you made this one because I couldn't find it! 😊 great video I really like them they are really cool!! 😎😎😎😀
amazing vdo mate! thanks...i am already in love with mexico...
yes, on my webpage under destinations and Europe and Italy there are top 10 venice, love and hates of Florence, love and hates of venice and top 10 Tuscany and central Europe. you can find those here on my youtube channel too.
As a mexican I agree with your tips about Mexico! You are always welcomed here!
If you're all wondering about how to tell if you're getting into "Real Mexico" - when you stop seeing police decked out all in black with M16s guarding the touristy areas, you've gotten to real Mexico
lol potholes of hell, completely true!! American are super safe in the touristic areas and even in Mexico city, but yeah take care of pick pockets specially in the subway.
+Whisper Latina ASMR Also, Baja eventhou we are in the border is super safe, Ensenada and Rosarito are amazing!!!
The Aztec culture is in Mexico City
The Maya culture is in Yucatan, and around
is a cultural breviary, Greetings
Mario Alberto Hernandez actually, chichen itza had a mixture of styles from other later cultures from the north
Mario Alberto Hernandez it's all Toltec culture. "Aztec" is what the stupid Europeans call us. We are MEXICATL!!.
LOL its "OMG spicy"
I'm totally agree with you, the security issues are very very focused, specially in the border, I have traveled a lot in Mexico and has been just great, is one of my favorite places in the world, the weather, the food, the people and the culture, oh my god is amazing, my favorite places are: Tulum, Vallarta, Guanajuato, Cozumel, Guadalajara, Mexico city, Chiapas etc etc so many places!!!
Hi Eulalie. I am excited to hear you heading out with your two daughters. I have a 5 love and hates of traveling latin America video coming out later this week so that may give you a few more tips. I am glad my family travels can help other families travel more too. all the best to you on your trip!
Love this video!
I think I've said this on 5 other videos of yours, but you're such a fantastic resource! Thanks for the videos!
Kev Mehl Btw, I'm getting a villa for 10 friends on airbnb. We want more culture and authenticity than an all inclusive (to each their own), but $700 a person for a week for airfare and nice lodging in Playa Del Carmen...not bad!
Yet another great video from you Wolters. Looking forward to your next trip. :)
You are my hero- love all your videos and I am gradually working my way up to your wanderlust satisfied status. Keep 'em coming!
Ekuoba Thank you Ekuoba! Great travels to you!
Thanks mate, much appreciated
Great videos !!
Keep them coming !!
Very Helpful Info! Thank You!
chances of getting shot decapitated or kidnapped in mexico are like winning the lotto, you have to be very lucky...em..unlucky to end up like that
Thank you, no I have not been there yet. What do you recommend there?
I love this gringo
Junior perez nicest comment of the day :) all the best on your travels!
+Junior perez ¡Jajjajaa el mejor comentario!
*****
Blah blah blah...
+The Eternal Anglo lol it's the other way around, the reason Spanish and Irish DNA is similar is because their blueprint are the Basques. so Basques went to Ireland from North Iberia, the difference is in that the Spanish had influence from native Iberians and Semitic people, the pure Basque do resemble the Irish more than the Spanish but not the Britons, the Britons took after the Saxon culture, all in all the People of the United Kingdom have been brothers and rivals to the Spanish, Thesis and Anti-Thesis.
LOL AHAHAHA take a west civ class
Beautiful video.. Thank you
Guadalajara is AMAZING
Carlos Loreto I really enjoyed it when I was there, though that was about 20 years ago. Still very fond memories of the city.
wow thank you so much for this fantastic video!
thank you :)
Thanks for saying good stuff about my country, :) very well informed about the bad and the good things about mexico, awesome video!! and i would love you to do a video about canada, i'm thinking about going there. Gracias.
Awesome!!
¡Genial, qué buen video! You should be hired to make an appearance on mexican tourism TV commercials!
+Luis Humberto Molinar Márquez I would love to. I have always loved Mexico and the Mexican people. The Mexican people and the country have shown so much love to me and my family over the years that I only have love in my heart for Mexico. All the best my friend. Great travels for you!
Yup, Mexico is a very beautiful country.
Gracias por hablar así de mi pais y de nosotros :)
M WOLF de nada. me encantan mexico y la gente de mexico.
thank you for the information! :)
I have lots of brazil info, but won't be there to film too soon, but hopefully I can get there before the world cup so I can get the videos out. I will have a 5 love and hates of latin America coming out soon and those will give you a couple ideas. brazil is a fantastic place. I highly recommend it.
I could not agree more :)
As a mexican I thank you sooo much for this video :) All true and valuable infomation.
I'm mexican and I agree, I strongly recommend to visit the south of the country there are beutiful places.
I miss going to Mexico, going for spring break though 2014 :) Cheers!!!
I hope to visit this beautiful country very soon.
I live on juarez and its not bad.
The news just love to get ratings
Eres muy bienvenido ❤️ gracias
angelica hernandez me encanta Mexico.
Thank you for the video! $70 American for private parking for the park, ticket to the ruins, and also swimming in the local Cenote near buy. Totally worth it!
my friends (Russia and Japan) went once and now they go every year...actually they want to move there. Surprisingly the #1 thing they like is the "People".. then the food, colors and the whole environment, they usually just go around non-toursty areas. It's unsafe around the border and the state of Michoacan.
theres nothing wrong with the water in Mexico other then they don't use softeners or crinolines its all pure clean water...
Thanks for your comments about my country,keep coming.
Humberto correa I love Mexico. My dad worked there for years and I got to go with him and fell in love with the country and the people. Great place and Great people!
great video. really helpfull
marketing professor, but I travel mostly on my vacation time and occasionally do guest or visiting professorships in places. I am glad to hear you like the videos. I guess the only way to support is to watch the videos, click "Like" on them and share with your friends. But just knowing you like the videos means a lot. thank you for the support! mark
Excellent presentation.
it is soooooo good there :)
Wow WoltersWolrd i'm completely agree with you, México is a wonderful country with advantages and disadvantages like any country. I'm so glad how you talk about it and it´s nice that you had enjoyed everything along all these years. Chichen Itzá it´s amazing, also you should know the mexican states of Chiapas, Tabasco and Veracruz, have you visited them?
i have lots of favourites :)
we are hoping to hop up to Canada in the next year
guess im going to mexico.
A great way to travel in Mexico is to hire a driver. We hired a driver with a large van for 3 weeks and he drove us from Union de Tvla to Guadalajara to Mexico City, to the Aztec ruins in Mexico city and the Zocalo plaza, and to Texcalli and back to union de tvla for $1200.00. There are a lot of private taxi cabs too. Sometimes you have to squeeze into one. It was a fun experience. You will enjoy it
it is not bad everywhere (argentina in BA has decent and tasty in my opinion water) but a lot of the places just do not have the facilities in place to guarantee clean water all the time, so best to stick to bottled water so you don't get tummy trouble. nothing horrible like in st Petersburg Russia but still want to avoid any toilet issues :)
I have a couple more mexico videos to come this week and next. I spent most of my time in mexico before I started making the videos hence why so few on mexico. but more are coming. thanks for watching!
es mas caro que otros partes de mexico. estoy "editing" un Nuevo video solo de cancun, 5 love and hates of visiting Cancun. Debe estar listo este fin de semana (o antes).
My best friend's parents are from San juan de los lagos, jalisco Mexico. I have always wanted to visit Mexico
Thank you for the upload, love your vids! =)
thank you for watching!
I highly recommend visiting Ixtapa, Mexico. Very beautiful city with awesome beaches and friendly people. Be prepared for the humidity though. It gets really humid during the summer.
Our favorite spots would be Ensenada for the great white shark diving and playa del carmen for the cenotes
that's good Mr Wolters
try coming to guanajuato city in the heart of mexico, you will think your in italy and i suggest you come in the rainy season when the landscape is green. its also very safe.
Love your videos! And I like the old pics inserted into this one :) I travel all the time bc I work for the airlines. How do you manage to travel so much?!
Great video, Im mexican and i needed ideas for a school presentation. Saludos, gracias.
Migue Ugartechea glad I can help :)
yeah, Acapulco has really gotten worse, I remember while I was editing that I should have probably taken that out. thanks for the heads up.
Thanks Mark! I'm planning my next trip and think Mexico is on a very high spot :D
