I'm very excited to come to Morelia soon to see rentals. I think I need outter edge of Morelia where it's a bit quieter. Russell, do you know a realtor who might help me? I need to study my Spanish. LOL Only words I know are not nice. Learned as a kid in NYC. Mucha's gracias. Justine in Connecticut.
@@justinesimone5343 I am a Morelia native and i highly reccommend avoiding the outskirts, they might be kinda dangerous, of course there are nice neighborhoods too, it all depends on your budget, and the kind of lifestyle you are looking for.
@justinesimone5343 I'm sorry I didn't see your note. We were lucky in finding our home. We walked out of our niece's house to find a rental. The house next door was being painted. We rented it on the spot! It's nearly 4000 square ft, 3 bdrm/3 ba, in a nice neighborhood. After 3 years, we're still paying only 8000 pesos ($400 USD)! We scored!
Great content about Black and Mexican connections. Very interesting. Most people don't even mention this and most Mexicans and Black folks don't know about it either. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, I appreciate it! And I agree, the Afro Mexican story is not well known which is a real shame. I’m in Veracruz now, which has a large population of Afro Mexicans, and its evident in the music, food and names of places here.
Super informative videos. As an American I'm three years into my Mexican immigration process. I've been focused on CDMX, but am recently considering other cities and towns for possible relocation. You're charming. Thank you.

Hola gringo. Yo soy de Morelia y actualmente vivo en california. Me encantó tu video explicaste muy bien todo lo hermoso que es esta ciudad. Felicidades 😘
Great job buddy! I like your style and how you aren't afraid to show yourself but are able to present an informative video. I'm a suscriber! I travel to Mexico often now I plan to go to Morelia! You would be a fun travel partner!
I’m from Morelia and wanted to thank you for coming to the city 😊 also gotta say that the last restaurant you went has a more commercialized food rather than traditional food. The street food is mostly on other part of the city and you can find it downtown only on special occasions
@ Hi! First of all I hope you have the best time here 😊 For me the best places are the mercados, cocina economía or fondas. There’s is Mercado de San Juan/Mercado Revolución which is near downtown. But there are some great restaurants that are specialized in traditional dishes, these are my favorites : - De Raíz Tradición en la Cocina -Simona Cocina -La cocina de Licha
Came across your video by chance, you crack me up! I think you are great! After you spilled you Coke, I just had to subscribe to your channel! Best of luck friend! Will be watching more of your content 🤙🏽😁
In 'Santuario de Guadalupe' was my mass for ended my university, and I have something to say about 2 paintings you showed on your video, I can not remember the number of paintings into the church, but I guess probably be the third and fourth one, those were painted by Pedro Cruz, a painter who was born in Santa Ana Maya, Michoacan, after growing he moved to Acambaro, Guanajuato. He did many great paintings over Mexico and Texas.
That would be awesome! I’ll be in Oaxaca in February but not headed to the Yucatán area until March. In between San Cris, Palenque, Flores (Guatemala). It would be great to meet up!
Hi, we plan on exploring central Mexico this winter (for 6 months). We're starting in Huatulco and ending in Puerto Vallarta. Following you... it seems you've taken a route similar to what we want to do, going the other way. Would you mind sharing your route and the worthwhile stops?
Actually, those were different trips. One trip was starting in and around Oaxaca City to Puerto Escondido, Zipolite, Huatulco, Juchitan and ending in San Cristobal. The trip prior to that was starting in Guadalajara, to Morelia, Pátzcuaro, Guanajuato, San Miguel, Querétaro and ending in CDMX.
@@GringoInterruptedSame! Last winter we did Huatulco, went up the coast, then into Oaxaca City and over into Chiapas and Yucatan, leaving from Cancun. This winter we want to explore central areas. Thank you for the list/route & videos 😊
Curious, I know that there has been a tremendous amount of deforestation in Morelia, in order to grow "green gold" aka avocadoes. This is causing much consternation and frustration by locals, Did you encounter any of that? I believe that Criminal ELements are responsible for this deforestation and that it is a bit dangerous for locals to be loud about their discontent.
Interesting! No, I didn’t pick up on any of that. I didn’t even know about it actually. Although, I try not to mention anything about politics/narcos to any Mexican as I don’t want to insult/offend anyone.
Gringo. You do a beautiful job describing the places you visit, and not to mention the amazing photography. Only if you were a bit more consistent uploading videos (just an observation)
Thanks for the compliments David! I appreciate it! I know I haven’t been consistent; I got a little discouraged after my last few videos. But I have a bunch coming! Thanks for watching!
I found your channel recently and you do a very nice video. Morelia is beautiful and have friends that live there. Only minus, your occasional 'colorful' words downgrade the quality of your videos. Mexico is not like the states. Foul language is frowned upon except mostly by those that are involved in organized crime. Overall I do enjoy your videos and thanks for the experiences.
Thank you; I appreciate it! Funny you should mention my language; my mom just said the same thing to me! Its a bad habit; I will try to curb that in the future! Thanks for watching!
Almost all mixed Mexicans have African ancestry. They were left out of the national identity creation after the Mexican Revolution either on purpose or lack of knowledge.
I've been living in Morelia, as a US citizen, for three years. My wife is a Mexican citizen. It's been a wonderful experience! Best move EVER!!
I’m jealous!!!

Amazing. I've lived in Morelia for 13 years and I always find new things to see and do.
Awesome; I loved Morelia! Such a unique city; I hope to go back and explore it more! Thanks for watching!
You are on fire my friend! Fabulous video and we love your music choices. This city is on our list, ¡Mil Gracias!
Thank you sir!!! I’m so happy you liked the music; I spend a lot of time picking it out! Thanks for watching and I hope you can get to Morelia soon!

Thank you for the info! I would love to return to Morelia and explore more outside of the center. Such a beautiful city! Thanks for commenting!
FerSan998- visiting in 2 weeks. Where are some places you would you recommend to eat!

@@FerSanz998 do you have recommendations on guides to the monarch butterfly forest?
You could try Levita Tours which is a tourist agencie that does that trip
SO good! Thanks for documenting your superspreader travels 🙃
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Good job. We enjoyed the east side of downtown a lot. Take care amigo.
Gracias amigo!

Qué bonito. So close to where I live and I’ve never visited. And someone didn’t invite me over…. Well I miss you by the way 😅
You should visit Ponchito! Miss you too, thanks for watching!
Hey , new in your channel, thank you, beautiful city.
Thanks ☺️
I've enjoyed ur video more than most others. Informative and not a weirdo! And sO funny!😂
Thank you so much! 😊
Awwwww my city I'll be visiting soon, sorry you had Covid while you were there.
I couldn’t have asked for a better city to be sick in! I love Morelia!

Thanks again! More to come….
We will be in the Yucatan in a couple of weeks. Would love to meet and greet!
That would be awesome! I’ll be in Oaxaca in February but not headed to the Yucatán area until March. In between San Cris, Palenque, Flores (Guatemala). It would be great to meet up!
Extra points for being a complete goofball, thanks for the video 📸
I’ll take ‘em, thank you! 😊
You are such a SWEET GUY ..Embrazo AMIGO!!

Nice! Have a great trip!
Morelia is also known to have some of the best biking events going downhill
Nice! Didn’t know that! Thanks!
@@GringoInterrupted yes sir check them out if you ever have a chance brother god bless
@bmycy9132 will do! Thanks!
You are so funny I would probably have hit my head too.
Thank you!!!! I’m flattered! Yeah, kind of clumsy here!
I'm from Morelia. Thanks for sharing. Don't be offended, buy you look like Tuco Benedicto Pacifico Juan María Ramírez.
Thanks! I just looked him up and no, not offended! He’s a handsome guy, so thanks!
Morelia used to have a lot of Europeans visiting because they had their children attending schools and universities back in the 50-1980’s.
Hmm, interesting! Thanks!

@@GringoInterrupted That is very understandable.
That happens, but not exactly in Morelia, the avocado growing area is in a different part of the Michoacán state.
A 50 dollar peso bill! Wow, I've never seen one of those! 😅
Hahahaha! Oops!
Está bien bonito apoco no?
Si, muy bonito!

You remind me of Adam Sandler
I’ll take that!
Next time fly
😂
En Morelia Michoacán todos son blancos ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
No encontré eso. Vi muchas personas morenas. Pero, a quien le importa? Por que se celebra esta cosa?
Nope! They are not. Odd comment?
In Morelia everyone is white, it is a Spanish city in Mexico ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
I did not find this at all. I saw many “non-white” people. But, who cares? What are you celebrating?
Almost all mixed Mexicans have African ancestry. They were left out of the national identity creation after the Mexican Revolution either on purpose or lack of knowledge.
Interesting, thanks!
I wish you would stop with the F bombs....
What can I say? That’s me
Morelia is a treasure ! overlooked by most GRINGOS ( fine by me) good job ,good choice to visit
I loved Morelia!!! Thanks so much for watching!
Big Pito in the painting lol
Jajaja, si! 😂
