ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO - PERHAPS A QUESTION OF TASTE BUT I FIND THE LOUD AND TYPE OF SOUNDTRACK OVERPOWERS AND DETRACTS FROM THE BEAUTY OF THE IMAGES. IT HAD ME READJUST THE SOUND ON A CONSISTENT BASIS. JUST A THOUGHT !
@@SeekingParadiseBugs no worries. We live in san jose del cabo, after 5 years we are ready to move on. Can’t wait to see how you make out in Portugal. Best of luck
Hassle free living in Ensenada, like I living in the States with US car and Bank Account, and with cheaper rent. Living on and off with 180 days TC, for several decades now. Nobody ever wanted to see it, except border crossing on foot.
wow. how wonderful. What's the secret to remaining married 40 years? we will be celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary in Tuscany this April. 😊 hope to make it to our 40. Thank you for watching
Be aware of La Bufadora, check the weather, if no high tide, no splash. Be carful not to drink free drinks if you are diabetic, too much sugar; and be aware of pickpockets there and overly priced tequilas, buy at Calimax.Then, check out Gordo's restaurant at the beginning entrance. It's American owned and great sports bar with nice views to kickback and good food. Enjoy folks. Downtown is safe, new police force there. And eating places are everywhere. Baja Bound has great insurance plans. The Valle de Guadalupe roads are repaired as of 9-2024. Check out Sol de Barrio winery' with wine cellar cooled, and buy cooked chicken and eat there, just buy a bottle of wine; and nice views at El Cieli and they have beers; plus great food then, visit at Indian reservations at San Antonio Necua and enjoy breakfast at Wa Kumiai Tabita.
Another great video. My wife and I moved to Chapala 6 months ago. We love Guadalajara, btw. We're now looking at Ensenada because it's closer to our kids in San Diego. I also notice you say it falls short in the category of distance to the beach. Oversight? We're going to check out Ensenada in October. Thanks for the background info.
Thanks for watching! Chapala is a wonderful area. We gave Ensenada a checkmark for distance to the beach but I see at the end that we mistakenly had an X in the list. Best of luck with your decision.
Wife and I couldn’t get through the video. The music volume is overwhelming. The music type was annoying, and we were struggling to hear the narration at times. We’re not in our 80’s, early 40’s. Maybe this was the informative video we’ve been looking for. We’ll never know.
Thank you! This is one of our early videos...the sound is much better now. 😁 Our son is grown so we are not researching schools. We know there are American schools in the major Mexican cities though since we lived in Guadalajara.
thank you! we actually don't own much since we sold most of it when we retired in 2018. But in Mexico there are plenty of moving companies and individual movers, called "fletes". We joined "Expats living in Mexico" Facebook group and asked for recommendations when we moved neighborhoods in Guadalajara. We also had a car and drove our stuff around as well 👍🏼
You went to tourist stuff. And Pai pai exploits those animals for the sake of a few bucks. Did you check out Los Adoptables it was about 1000 feet to your left. Animal shelter who take in abused and abandoned dogs and cats. The blowhole is lovely
We realized about Pai Pai as we looked around. It actually made us discuss how we do not want to support any type of business like this in the future and will research sanctuaries more in depth from now on before visiting. Thanks for watching!
@@SeekingParadiseBugs well be t time you are here you should contact Pris Austin at Los Adoptables. I was 1 of the founding member of this animal rescue, and I retired and Pris has taken it to the next level.
@@SeekingParadiseBugs Currently I'm in Mauritius and I can say it's been a major issue here as well, it smells like algae in 3 places out of 4 I've been. Considering Ensenada but don't want to be faced with water problems as this is pretty much the very basis of life, to have good water to wash things with.
We didn´t filter our water pipes when we lived in Mexico so we had to purchase water to drink and cook with. We haven´t been to Mauritius yet. How do you like other aspects of livinng there?
@@SeekingParadiseBugs In Mauritius when it smelled pretty bad I realized I had to rinse the dishes a second time with purchased water to get rid of the layer of tap water in drinking cups for example for the tea to taste normal, there are definitely degrees to this... That was some next level shit. It's one thing when you shouldn't drink it, another when you shouldn't even wash in it... Mauritius has beautiful beaches and sceneries but if you are thinking of coming here to work online for a year or more and to spend at most 2500$CAD per month on average, just forget it. When you look at rentals online it looks affordable and like a great deal overall, but when you come here your eyes become trained to see through these ads... really I think you would have to spend at least 5000CAD a month to live in acceptable conditions that would make sense. Even then, the internet had problems in all places I've been, either it completely cut, or slowed down, making work impossible even with my.t the main service provider with average download speed of 50mo/sec. Amazing how many grocery stores have almost nothing, are disorganized and how a lot of things are very dirty and poorly kept or absolutely on their last straw since long time in airbnbs and grocery stores. I've done 4 small airbnbs and it is just impossible to get something ok for 70CAD a day or less renting a week or a month at a time. It looks nice in picture but that's a deception. You also get water cuts. I'm only scratching the surface here. There's no way in the world you cannot find a better deal in another country where your life will be freer of problems so that you may concentrate on your work and progress. Nice beaches, looks like a great offer, but avoid it unless you have a lot of money to spend 5kCAD minimum per month or just want to vacation by the beach. Maybe it would make some great youtube content to set the record straight also... I am leaving tomorrow, a month and a day later after arriving and I came here to stay for 13 months minimum originally... They litterally made me sick, very dirty unkept airbnbs, absolutely disgusting, anybody would have gotten sick from that mold and that stagnant water left in that dirty tank for many months, which they make you pay to come live and wash in...
there are bad areas and crime in Mexico like any other country, much is exaggerated and also accurate, but we noticed is far more different than what the rest of the world perceives. We loved it there for many reasons and we did talk about being burglarized in our Guadalajara video, but it could have happened anywhere really. It all comes down to being aware of your surroundings no matter where you live ☺️.
Do you think you can get the background music any louder...you may make it possible to not hear a thing you are saying. The blasting music adds nothing and in fact is distracting. Learn to not think if a little is good, then a lot is better.
the real history of California is in baja
great video! thank you
Sooo beautiful!

Sorry, it was one of our first videos. We learned along the way and we constantly they to improve and make it easier on the soundtrack.

The drone views are really nice. Good video. Thanks

Beautiful ensenada I got married in ensenada 40 years ago .

I’m thinking to move there to try something new
Wishing you the best!
Thanks for the video. I think the less music the better ;)

How are you liking chapala?

sorry about the music being loud. We have made many improvements over the last 3 years.
one of the better videos, less the loud music. Nothing about families relocating, and the availability of private schools?
Thank you! This is one of our early videos...the sound is much better now. 😁 Our son is grown so we are not researching schools. We know there are American schools in the major Mexican cities though since we lived in Guadalajara.
Do you know we have a forest in Ensenada?
Would you like to meet him?
Great Video. How are you moving your stuff around? Do you use a moving company?

You were in the tourist district
Beautiful & educational. I have a different feeling about domestication including humans . Very well made work
Thank you for your kind words!

How is the water? I red it smells like sewage!
It´s been years since we´ve been there now but it was not an issue when we were there. Unfortunately, we can´t say that for all the areas in Mexico.

Wow! Thanks so much for letting us know about this. Good luck in your next place, let us know how you like it and keep in touch.
Need some help. My brother is in Ensenada right now looking for a place to rent for 12 months furnished. Anyone?
The music is too loud and obnoxious. Sorry, I couldn't finish watching it.
Jill Henderson, thank you for the feedback. We are working on more videos and making improvements.
Nice video but the music was way too much.
Thanks! We believe we have improved since making this video. 😊
How do I dial a number 🤔
Mexico is more civilized than I thought! Though y'all are probably just showing us the best parts, and leaving out all the squalor and crime.
there are bad areas and crime in Mexico like any other country, much is exaggerated and also accurate, but we noticed is far more different than what the rest of the world perceives.
We loved it there for many reasons and we did talk about being burglarized in our Guadalajara video, but it could have happened anywhere really. It all comes down to being aware of your surroundings no matter where you live ☺️.

Lose the music. :-(
yes. we have improved a lot since that video. 😔
