Cuál es tu profesión Sergio Salas?
web designer, filmmaker
@@sergiosala muchas gracias por tu respuesta, igual sería interesante que hicieras un video explicando el desarrollo de tu profesión hasta en donde estás ahora, todo un pro en web designer. Ahorita en tiempos de pandemia buscando una posición como fullstack developer, hasta ahorita en un proceso en Softtek
antes tenia un canal en español, ahi lo expliqué todo. pero ya estoy en fase de volverme youtuber full time
Keep making long videos and show the airbnbs u stay eapecially SAYULITA. LOVELY PLACE.
I like your narration, calm and smooth. I can't stand that 99% of people on youtube just yell at you through the computer...You on the other hand, got the right voice!
I don't remember whether I have already left a comment but I just want to say that I've been following and loving all your videos. They've been great in helping me choose where to travel too and still be able to work. Thank you and keep up the awesome work!
Thanks for the comment!
I love your delivery. I find it reassuring and calming. Oh, and your dog. ❤️
one of the most informative videos on sayulita i've ever seen, thanks!!!
truly enjoyed your video, such an amazing life you have! I am looking to move sometime in the next few years and you have helped with ideas and inspiration!!
Sergio I love your videos. You are very talented and I love your storytelling and the way that you show the characters in places like Sayulita & Puerto Vallarta!
Great video, love watching your travels and the COFFEE!
Thanks man! Can’t live without coffee ☕️
So much good food! I can tell you guys are really enjoying the vibe 😎
Love this video!! Looks like an amazing place. Youre really inspiring me to go after this lifestyle!
You can do it!
El pueblos de mis abuelos este es uno de los mejores vídeos de sayulita que tiene buenas vistas aéreas y mejor editado en pocos minutos nos llevaste a todo sayulita, gracias .
Me alegra oir eso!
thank you for creating this awesome vlog about Sayulita! I will be visiting next month and can't wait to sit on a beach eating tacos and watch the sunset. Cheers!
Thank you so much for this video. I have spent a lot of time researching sayulita and my friend you just made it even easier for me. The amazing food stops, oh yes. once again thank you and I will be there soon.
Glad it was helpful!
I love that it shows so much pf the town. Thank you!
thanks Tylor!
Great video. Love watching these small travel "documentaries"! :)
thanks! more coming soon :D
Qué bonito video Sergio. Las tomas aéreas te quedan magníficas.
Gracias amigo!
my favourite mexican town :) the best people, vibe, restaurants - everything there is amazing! Keep up the great content
I might be going next week, how was internet for you?
@@WeiFinder it depends where you’re staying. It’s typically pretty good. You can easily work, with stable internet. Also a few places that are co-working options, if that’s your jam.
👍 👌 👍 Loved your video, your calm, positive energy and your choice of calm music! Very refreshing 🙂
Thank you so much!
Thanks very helpful to see all these places, I arrive this coming weekend.
Hope you enjoy it!
Awesome chill vids man ☘️☮️
The Boys 😂 awesome and good to see Pierre too 😎 Vid was great - easy to watch from start to finish and the drone footage is all really good. Jealous of the food! Keep it up man.
haha thanks brother! hopefully we can catch up soon so you can be part of another video :)
Muchas gracias! This was very helpful. I am moving to Sayulita in June from Los Angeles. This added to my excitement and got lots of useful info!
Girl I am too! Except probably sooner. We should connect
@@BriellePearson Fun! @elldash on IG
gotta send me a pic if you both meet!
Beautiful video ♡ captured the essence perfectly. Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
It was so cinematic. I am learning how to edit and your video popped up. I'm glad it did.
Subscribed.
Muy bien video, conocí Sayulita desde otra perspectiva gracias 🙌🏼😊
gracias!
Awesome video man I'm planning on going to Sayulita in a few weeks from Xicotepec where I'm living now. Will definitely be saving this video for your resources for when I get there!
Did you go? How was it (and the internet?) I'm probably heading there in a week
@@WeiFinder No ser I did not end up going. I heard it was rather touristy though so I would assume the internet is probably top notch.
Really good work!Thank you!
love it! Can't wait to visit Sayulita next year!
You should! Lemme know when it happens :)
@@sergiosala will do! More power to you Sergio!
Amazing video and editing!
Genial tu canal hermano
Abrazos!!! 🙂🙌🏼
Great video Sergio!!
Glad you enjoyed it Ryan! wait for the Isla Mujeres one :)
Awesome tips & format man, now I can't wait to be there in 3 weeks :)
Thanks man, hope you enjoy sayu!
how was it?
"the boys" mi favorito
love your chill vibes
Thanks
I would loooooooveee to watch the turtles race towards the ocean. I bet that experience was very magical. I personally do not like long format but I think that the slow pace gives you a more intimate feel for Sayulita. Your video is great Sergio, very well put together.
Thanks Darcy! they didn’t let get very close to them that’s why couldn’t shot more about the turtles. Long format will be the way cause I can show everything in one place :)
Great Video. Thank you for posting.
☺️ thanks
Omg! How crazy I'm watching this video to remember my first trip to Sayulita last October with my family and I remember you your lap top and your dog at the coffeehouse! My family was eating breakfast and your dog came up to my son he loved your dog so much! We were enjoying our last breakfast before heading back home but we are going backfor Sure. Ojala muy pronto si Dios quiere y ojala los puedomos conocer en persona. Saludos de California beniciones.
Great video - safe travels
Awesome video. Greetings from Santa Barbara 😎👍
Felicidades amiguito.! you living the life I want at such a young age.I like your videos very mucho. 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks so much
I just want to go there to look at those baby turtles 💕💕 Great videos, thanks for sharing your experiences
thanks for watching! hope you will release those baby turtles one day :)
Great video 😁 we can't wait to get back out travelling and vlogging again 💯
hopefully soooon!
@@sergiosala 🙏🏻
I love to see how men just work and hang out so harmoniously...
I enjoyed this
Glad you enjoyed it
Well done with your work
Buen video amigo, yo visitare mañana sayulita después de 8 años. saludos
Quisiera trabajar y vivir como tú lo haces, es increíble la vida en sayulita todo es relajado y nunca dejas de hacer amigos, estuve hace unos días allá.
Con tener un trabajo remoto, ya es algo más común hoy en dia
Nice watching you...looks and personality...winner....
I've been in Sayulita for a while now and this is the best youtube video on Sayulita I've seen. Most of them would give more false impressions than accurate ones. Good job Sergio. However, there is a pretty glaring absence of content. Apparently, Sergio isn't much into music or nightlife. Sayulita is a party town as much as it is a surf town. The most accurate T-shirt I've seen here says "This tequila tastes like I won't be surfing tomorrow". There's plenty to do for people who aren't that into music and adult beverages but that is a huge part of what Sayulita is.
Brilliant video.
Thanks for this vid! Super helpful! How did you feel about the Selina hostel? I really want a social experience in sayu but don’t really want to party late at night as I have zoom-meetings at 7 am most mornings. Did you experience any loud parties at Selina or your second place?
Dude you are a great vlogger.. love the effort you put into your videos. Who operates the drone while you're surfing though?
I track myself. Or when I'm not on the shot, i'm the one flying it :P
@@sergiosala Track yourself? You mean you can set the drone to follow you and just leave the controller on the beach?
yup
Thank you for your amazing videos! They've been helping me put things in perspective. I'm coming to Sayulita March 9 and I am an online English teacher. What is your experience with wifi in your accommodations? I prefer to work at home since I have to be animated for class. Also my teaching times will be from 3-4am to 7am so nothing will be open.
You gotta check the internet beforehand on each place because just a few places have good wifi, but it’s possible to wfh!
Muy buen video! Me gusto que fuera largo.
gracias!
Nice chill spot, wow all that awsome food has left me starving...i miss the food in mexico.. So where did u go wen u left,what exactly is a digital nomad...& like what is it u do Being a digital nomad...?? this is actually first time I've ever heard the term...
Hope to see you around town!
Not there anymore :( but would love to come back
@@sergiosala Where are you headed to next?
currently Isla Mujeres, check my instagram for updates! instagram.com/sergiosala
You've never heard of sour sop...? This can be found on most Caribbean islands...it is delicious!
This was a great video Sergio! I’m in Puerto Vallarta AND so excited to check out Sayulita tomorrow for a few days TO peep some co live/work locations To make a plan for my trip in January and other trips after! I’d love to know more about managing work life balance on the road and how to choose an affordable hostel without too many distractions and also chances to meet people as well as have private time to recharge as an ambivert (extrovert which can recharge alone and with people) it seems tricky in a dorm situation or a more party focused hotel since I’m a light sleeper and snoring dorm mates would e a real problem for me even with earplugs. Any tips you can provide would be greatly appreciated! I’m on WhatsApp (hopefully you’re a real human lol) or can talk on here or Facebook etc. thanks so much in advance! My remote jobs starts on the 29th and I am currently in Mexico getting the field for things and heading to Costa Rica for a month in January and between now and then getting my bearings at home with the new job before I add travel and digital nomad lifestyle to the mix.
Miss you here in Sayu Sergiolito!
Miss you too bro!
Just beautiful
Hey man, awesome video! I have a quick question for you. How do you meet people on your travels? It seems like you have so many friends everywhere you go, would love to hear how you meet/met them all!
Meetups, coffee shops, walking around or just being friendly!
@@sergiosala Do you spend a lot of time in facebook groups? I don't really like facebook, but I guess it could be useful for that
Keep up the good work ;)
Thanks, you too!
Great videos my friend, these are super helpful! Do you have any thoughts on surf turns in Oaxaca with good wifi for digital nomads??
Puerto Escondido, but wifi is a struggle sometimes
@@sergiosala I REALLY wanted to go to Puerto Escondido (La Punta), but the wifi situation really felt like it would make my stay a nightmare in paradise... Not sure if there's a way to be comfortably working from home mostly, but also cafes.. I have a flexible schedule, but work with media
I see tacos, beers, beaches and fun ... doesn't look like any work is getting done! LOL just kidding bro, great video, thanks for the look into Sayulita.
Haha, of course there was work but would be boring to only show that! It's a mix of travel and work for two months :)
Buenísimo video. He pensando en mudarme en los próximos meses, en general que calificación le pondrías al wifi? Es constante o falla bastante?
Constante, falla de vez en cuando pero porque es satelital. Cuando sea fibra óptica será de lujo
I just stumbled across your videos. I feel like I just watched a short film. It was very beautiful to watch. Thank you! Safe travels (◕ᴗ◕✿)
please take your beautiful chihuahua with you everywhere. they love to be with you and go for walks.
Muy buen video bro, felicidades! (creo que debes darle una checada a los links).
Ya los arreglé, gracias!
Great long file format. It does look though like Mexico doesn't have good internet on average. Compared to Thailand where I was clocking 200-400 mb/s at random hotels. For me 50 mpb is pretty slow. I deal with heavy files 5-10 gigs on daily basis. How about Mexico City is it better?
thanks, I’ll definitely keep the long format. for the internet, it’s only in small towns. Mex City and such has really good speed
dope video bro makes me wanna go and visit hope it's vegan friendly
It is vegan friendly! i'm thinking of doing that too
@@sergiosala nice! I'm highly considering staying there instead of Riviera Maya. Vegan food options, weather, and ease of living are most important to me
Good video, great little town, but the internet speed in Sayulita is horrible !! Every nomad was running around trying to find a good connection, outside of the co work space it's terrible all over town.
That's so crazy about the turtle eggs! Looks like a beautiful place. Just moved to Valladolid in the Yucatan state of Mexico last month, eventually want to get to the west coast of Mexico for sure!
Oh, Valladolid is on my list! Will you consider a week enough?
@@sergiosala Yeah, I think a week would be good to see most of what's here! :)
Extremely helpful video thank you so much only one question, why didn’t you mention the name/location of the pizza spot with the owner there?
I forgot but the logo shows up for a second when I say to the owner lol. The place is called Mirandas
I really enjoyed watching your video - great content.can you please tell me the name of the beach in Sayulita that you viewed the sunset 🌅? Thx. Safe travels.
Check description, but it's Caricillos beach.
@@sergiosala my apologies I should have read the description. Thank you. Safe travels.
Which is your dog's bag brand?
Mexico is the fun side of the wall
Hey mate, cool video! Wonder, what do you do for living?
Web design, and trying to make this channel my main
@@sergiosala Thanks for the reply, and good luck !
@@sergiosala I know the answer is probably "no thanks" but I actually am looking to hire web designers (product designers) and willing to offer quite competitive salary. Feel free to hit me up if ever you want, flexible schedule, great team and culture, completely remote of course, etc.
Hi @sergio , can you share the air bnb you stayed in Sayulita?
Yes! will add in the description
Hi Sergio, Thank you for the info about wifi. Where do you think in Mexico is the best internet? I'm hoping to find an ethernet connection with around 200 mbps download, but also live in a smaller town. Is that at all possible or am I nuts?
For small and that speed it’s hard, but maybe Starlink will change that
@@sergiosala Thanks!
can you share the link to the air bnb you stayed at?
it’s on the description
What was the place with the Mexican/ramen fusion dish?
Loro’s Cafe & Cocktails, tell them you know me and they’ll love that hah
@@sergiosala Ah I def will! Thanks Sergio :)
La renta es cara por haya amigo?
So basically it super small town with lot of gringo correct I plan on going here look like PE or tulum type vibes
It seems that the only person that I saw in this video wearing a mask was the dude selling the frozen banana. Is this what it is like in Mexico, essentially no one else in the video, Mexicans or tourists, no masks and no social distancing?
This is just a beach town, it's not the whole country.
There’s a great article about this in the Washington Post specifically about Oaxaca that came out about a week ago. Many people there are fed up with foreigners visiting or living in the area temporarily, 90% of whom are not wearing masks. Many Mexicans there have family members who’ve died or had complications. The article theorizes that foreigners who travel to Mexico have a prevailing attitude that Mexico is an attractive place because there are no rules, it’s seen as an escape from the oppressive west during the pandemic. Living mostly outdoors with a sea breeze, a lot of these beach communities can escape major infection rates but the issue is complicated in Mexico because testing costs 50 dollars so very few people get tested and you can only guess at the severity based on hospitalizations and deaths.
Are you still in Sayulita? Let’s meet up and shoot a video together!
Always on the go!
I think we all know the real star here is Silver...
Haha, he loves the camera!
8:47 Pozole face is when someone has bad acne, or blemished skin, maybe that's why he laughed, its like saying pizza face
“Never been to a beach where they have food so close “ 🤣 true because in the United States 🇺🇸 they give people a fine for everything
jajajajaj THE BOYS!
My opinion:
Pros: Good restaurants, parties, beach is beautiful.
Cons: It is probably the most expensive place in Mexico now.
4.60 euros for banana cake and coffee? I thought the place was cheap
I bet Selina hostel private is expensive Airbnb better
alan :(
alan?
Dude, you drink so much coffee 😂
I swear it’s just one every day haha
97% of those turtles die within a day fyi
Is this only 3 months ago is this the only maskless town in Mexico LOL
Hermoso video pero te pido por amor a Dios cuando digas “chilaquiles” o “torta” no lo digas como gringo. 😂 Ten compasión!
I just stumbled across your videos. I feel like I just watched a short film. It was very beautiful to watch. Thank you! Safe travels (◕ᴗ◕✿)
