For sure! Thanks for watching 😃

I have discussed my politics and my total disgust with Donald Trump with my Mexican friends, and it has not devolved into any vicious arguments - I suppose that its because my views are well reasoned and considered, and I use logic, facts and evidence to back them up. In return, many of my Mexican friends will share their views on Mexican politics with me, like how they feel about AMLO, and why - AMLO seems to be a very controversial figure in Mexico, with some loving him and others hating him. Autocracy seems to be on the rise, and sadly, it seems to be a universal trend around the globe. But the true autocrat is Donald Trump; with AMLO, it seems to be a case of monkey see, monkey do. Also, every Mexican president can only serve one term, and as AMLO's six year term is drawing to a close, he is trying to resort to autocratic measures to try to push his ambitious agenda through. But the Mexican people are too independent and freedom loving, and are pushing back.
@@gustavoperez5480Si, Gustavo, puede ser, pero creeo que mi oais, Los Estados Unidos, es en un peligro mucho mas grande, y puede caer en un estado de fascismo si Donald Trump ganara la eleccion de 2024. Ni yo no estoy de acuerdo con los fracasos electorales y otras cosas que AMLO esta ensayando, pero creeo que el peligro de totalitarianismo es mucho mas grande en mi pais. Pero talvez, estoy mucho mas inquietado sobre la situation politica en mi proprio pais precisamente porque - es mi proprio pais!
@@gustavoperez5480 Y tambien, Gustavo, podria decir que el mundo entero esta amenazada, en una manera o una otra, de los peligros de fascismo y totalitarianismo - no te crees?
I was born in and lived in the USA for 45 years. I went to Mexico in 2006 to learn Spanish. I figured I'd spend a total of 6 months there. Except for a few visits back to the USA, I've been living here ever since 2006 - almost 18 years now. Last time I went to the USA was in 2012. I have absolutely no desire to return to the USA. The thought of going back is actually scary.
I know what you mean. I like it better here to. But I still love my country 🇺🇸 🇲🇽
Where in Mexico are you?
I don't blame you at all. America is starting to feel like a Banana Republic
im very concerned right now being in us please pray for us. we are not our goverment, thank you
@@JRspeaking I'm about 60 miles south of Mexico City
I love Mexico. As a Canadian with a 4 year temporary residency, who just got her RFC#, I'm ready to build my home and business. Just waiting to sign the deed. Got a well respected builder in the area. Love the fresh food! Love the community vibe here. Restarting my life. Best decision I ever made.
Awesome 👏 are you in Bucerias?
I am another Canadian , been in Mexico 10 years
Where are you and who is your builder?
👏🏼. I can hardly wait to begin the process. I am currently caring for my 108 y.o. mother, so it is impossible to predict. I will definitely reside in Mexico City; it has everything I can imagine needing. 💞🇲🇽.
@@LaBelleDojo I wonder why diabetes is so prevalent in Mexico since the food is healthy?
I definitely eat better, walk more, glad to never discuss politics, have lost weight, continue to learn and perfect my Spanish, and have a Mexican partner. That and I can afford to pay people to work on my home, which I could not afford to do in the US, and obviously as I age doing it all myself will be impossible.
There is a huge gap between the home repair fees in Mexico and back home.
In a US deli, the only fresh food you find is a banana lol
@mitorresc
Here inCanada, not even the bananas are fresh: they've been picked still green in Mexico, so they are less tasty here.
The biggest change with me when I’m there is all the body pain seems to go away. It’s unbelievable. Back in the US doctors can’t explain it.
What kind of climate do you live in back in the US?
Im from chicago. Years ago I spent time in Veracruz and it was like a miracle. I felt I could start jogging. But when I’m in Bucerias I feel pretty good. Good food. No stress.
NO ITS THE FOOD WE EAT >>ALOT OF USA FOOD IS BANNED IN OTHER COUNTRIES >>>KEEPS PHARMACEUTICALS COMPANIES RICH < DOCTORS AND HOSPITALS MAKING MONEY >>> AMERICAS FOODS ARE PROCESSED AND PROCESSED < THE# CHEMICALS >>>IT MAKES US SICK >>AN

@waynevandermeer3050 Fue stress lo que tu tenias. Esa mala energia contrae nervios y musculos. Luego se agregan otros males dolorosos con el tiempo.
La paz de mexico. y su comida orgánica te restableció la salud. Los doctores lo saben. pero no es negocio para ellos explicarlo

One thing I would like to add to the politics topic is that no one is mentioning the fact that in the event of war Mexico maintains neutrality. Being that there is a lot of political unrest in the world today, Mexico is a pretty safe haven for those who are suffering from political anxiety.
Absolutely
Exacto, afortunadamente .
Ahora mismo están presionando a este presidente para que tome una postura a favor o en contra.
Y no lo han logrado :)
Good luck !
I’m talking about Obrador and Israel vs Gaza.
...you mean limp-wristed souls who are afraid to step up to the plate and fight for their country?
@@AnaM-co4flSi, no necessitamos mas guerra. Viva Mexico. (Gringo en Leon/perdón me espanol). 👌
When I lived in the US my skin was full of pimples, I moved to Mexico and my skin cleared of all that
Very cool!
We relocated to Morelia, Michoacan, almost three years ago. I'm from Reno, Nevada and my wife is a Mexican citizen. Living here, has been a wonderful experience. The people, culture, architecture, the food, and the lack of stress are ALL reasons to come to Mexico. The US has become unbearable. Good video!
Thank you! Congratulations on the move 🇲🇽
I did not move here for political reasons and have zero patience with people who dragged those issues and their anger down here with them. And I would add that the Mexican people for the most part do not want to hear about it either. They will be polite but they don’t care. Leave your issues at the border, is what I find myself saying. It must take so much energy hanging onto that anger
Bienvenidos!
“You can take the boy out of the country….”
Love how you show the streets instead of yourself like so many other travel video. Great Job.
Glad you enjoyed!
Reason 6, you never have to shovel snow again.😀
😂
the canadian dream...
It actually snowed/sleet at my house in central Mexico at 6400 ft. above sea level but it did not stick or accumulate.
warm weather. pork is deadly.
Here I am watching your video, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, as I am getting ready to head south down to Guanajuato, in the central highlands of Mexico for the winter. Personally, I prefer the higher elevations in Mexico and not the beach towns, for the main reason that there are too many mosquitoes on the beach, and I would get eaten alive. Guanajuato, where I usually stay, is very high in elevationn, and has very few mosquitoes, even in the summer. Regarding your five reasons - and maybe a few of my own - everyone is different, and has to manage their lives differently, and there is no one size that fits all. For me, for example, I have chronic digestive and intestinal issues that don't have me doing that well with a lot of the Mexican food - can't eat chiles, greasy fried food, too much meat, all of which Mexico has in abundance. My gut biome is very weak, so I really need to watch sanitation and food cleanliness, and I have to take several months' supply of mega high potency probiotics, much higher dosage than is available in Mexico, with me each time I go. But the Mexican herbs keep me going, and I have found a miraculous herb for inflammatory / autoimmune bowel disease, which I have: CHAPPARO AMARGO! It has helped me tremendously, and even increased my tolerance of various foods. I would heartily recommend it to anyone suffering from colitis, Crohn's disease, food allergies and intolerances, or irritable bowel. There are also a lot of great local herbs for managing blood sugar and type two diabetes, which is another health concern of mine. And yeah - healthcare really sucks in the US - all the bureaucracy and red tape really sucks, but in Mexico, you can walk into a Farmacia, many of which have doctors consulting there, like Farmacias Similares, and the doctor can order an A1C test or any other health test you need, all for a nominal fee, and it's sooo convenient! Of all your five reasons, the one that resonated the most with me was starting new habits. And perhaps the number one habit that you need to break, especially if you're coming from the US, is the habit of plopping in a car - time to get out and walk! Guanajuato, with all its steep hills and alleyways, gives me a great workout, and the exercise factor alone seems to have a very beneficial effect in lowering my blood sugar. So try to get yourself into a situation where you're not driving everywhere, OK?
Thank you for sharing your perspective! It's great to hear about your experiences and preferences for higher elevations in Mexico. You're absolutely right; everyone has their unique needs and circumstances. Your insights on managing your health while enjoying your time in Mexico are valuable. The information about CHAPPARO AMARGO and local herbs for various health concerns is very informative. Safe travels to Guanajuato, and may you have a wonderful winter season there!
@@MovingToMexiCo I want to shout it from the rooftops: You DON"T have to sacrifice your immunity and your ability to fight infections if you have an autoimmune disease! HERBS ARE THE ANSWER!!! Herbs heal and balance the immune system, reducing allergic and autoimmune reactions while at the same time supporting and enhancing overall immunity! As my teacher of Ayurvedic Medicine used to say: Herbs have biological intelligence inherent in them. And while I'm at it, another Mexican miracle herb for those who suffer from sciatica and low back pain is PALO AZUL. I used to think that Chinese herbs were the only answer for low back pain - until I discovered Palo Azul.
@@luyzqint3760 I see. You are talking about the variety of Cinnamon that is aka Spanish Cinnamon, or Canela - the kind that is most commonly available in Mexico - which is also known as Ceylon Cinnamon, or Cinnamomum zeylanicum, I presume. It is not as heating in nature as the Chinese Cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia). I was aware of its stomachic and carminative benefits, as well as its benefits for lowering blood sugar as a metabolic stimulant, keeping the intestinal flora in balance, and promoting sweating to expel surface pathogens in colds and flu, but I wasn't aware of its blood thinning properties. Its antifungal and antimicrobial properties are pretty good as well, but I wasn't aware of its blood thinning properties. Thanks for the tip. Seems like it would combine well with Ginkgo Biloba, Eyebright, and other herbs that help the cerebral circulation.
@@luyzqint3760 Hhhmmm - What I knew about Fennel previously was that it was a stomachic and carinative that improved digestion and reduced gas and bloating, and that it was also a galactagogue that improved the flow of mother's milk. And I am professionally trained in herbal medicine. I swear, I never heard that about Fennel.
I moved two years ago, all what you’ve said, but also I learn something new everyday, also meet new people as well. It’s a breath of fresh air there. I love the fact that if I want to ride my bike, paddle board or hike, I can any day! That’s different than Canada, with all the weather. Thank you for your video!!
Thank you for sharing!
Great video and for me it would be first three reasons ,when we visit we always feel better than home 😀🌴
🙌
I love how we nearly always greet each other here! It seems so cold to me not to now after 12 years in Mx.
I know what you mean!
I walked one block to the local tienda this morning and at least seven people smiled at me and said "Buenas dias!"
Totally agree. One of the most disturbing things I see in Canada these days is immigrants demonstrating their old-world problems, animosity and hatred on our streets and in our universities. When I'm in Mexico as an immigrant, I have to check myself that I don't bring my issues out in public. It can be a bad habit, which is another issue you addressed in your excellent 5-point chat. Thanks.
Thank you!
Mexico will not tolerate that nonsense; but of late you'll see a lot of migrant's encampments around major bus stations.
What do you mean "old world problems"?
@@JRspeaking world, not word..
@@gsdvii7177 What do you mean, "Old World habits"?
Nice video! I recently chose Isla Aguada is the State of Campeche. It’s a “Pueblo Magico” as well. I Chose here for the pristine white sand beach, being able to live on the actual beach has been a dream of mine since I was just a kid. To make it a reality now still has me in tears. It’s still a close 3 hour car drive to Merida (soon 1hr & 1/2 train ride) with the Tren Maya (Mayan Train) that opens December 15th. Entire train route Completely finishes by early February. I’m 47 yrs, I find it fascinating to be able to hope on the train and will be able to travel to Chiapas, Tabasco, Cancun, Tulum, Merida and Bacalar to name some in just a quick 1 to few hours whenever I’d like to visit all those amazing places. Exciting actually! Best of luck to all in finding your new forever home in Mexico. Have great food, drink well and live it up as we all have just one life to live. Blessings to everyone and Happy Holidays.
That is going to be a game changer with that train! Disfruta!

I registered my son in Bucerias in 1997 when I was living in Puerto Vallarta, greetings from Veracruz.
Hola!
Number one would be political then food and health. Thanks Paul! Looking forward to your upcoming interview!
Looking forward to seeing you guys again soon 😉
agree 100% with suggestions; give up on political talk, walk everywhere except when purchases too heavy, learn a word a day --- read the newspaper to improve language, make things even if not selling, so much more.
Great advise! I need to follow it 😃
Nice video. My girlfriend lives in Veracruz. Her goal is to move to Usa. She loved it when she was in Usa for several months after covid and she always felt safe.
Its funny that many USA citizens living in Mexico feel its safer there than in Usa. On the other hand many Mexicans living in Usa will say they feel safer in USA than in Mexico.
Thank you for sharing. 🇲🇽 🇺🇸 ❤️
I'm hopeful hearing that people judge you more as an individual and that there's more access to healthy local food 🙏
Yes! Thank you for watching
Got the Mexican wife already lol. But the other points are right on. Nice video Paul.
Right on Ian! 🇲🇽
I live and work in the United States. But when I'm in México I feel relieved. I think is funny when people ask me if it's safe. For cheese sake. We have continuous and random mass shootings in the United States where mostly just regular civilians are targeted. Yes, people in Mexico are great.
Yes. There’s good and bad everywhere.
I love Mexican women, Mexican food and the overall ambiance. I work in Baja California every other month or so for a week at a time. I would have no problem living there.
It’s worth looking into for sure.
Nice video! Many of these things apply to the Philippines too. Eating healthier, walking and finding a better more traditional woman can be life changing.
Very cool 😃
Philippines great place to visit but not a good place to live especially as an expat, unless you have native family living there
apparently the phillippine government is aligning itself with the u.s. as a military base for the u.s. to fight china, so not for me.
Bucerias is awesome , good choice 🇲🇽🤗 expat here
It really is!
Weather would be a big factor for me.
Yes that is a common reason to move here. Thanks for watching.
Me encanta Mexico!!!!! Dios de bendiga!!
Gracias 🙏
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts 😊
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching.
I love how you provide helpful links in your videos to guide people into further research.
I'm hoping to find an amazing new life and maybe an amazing new love when I move to Mexico in May!
I wish you the best of luck! 🙌
I pay $50 dollars a month for a very comfortable room here in Veracruz, all expenses are a lot cheaper than in the US.

Very cool. What kind of business do you do?
Well said ❤ and thanks for the plug
Thank you!
The lack of politics here is the main reason I now live here. I worked on Capitol Hill for 28+ years. The biggest difference between Congress and Disney World is that Disney World has adult leadership. See ya around town. Rick Scott. I'm the one in the hat.
Haha very true. Although Disney is now looking pretty weird too.
I'd say Disney now has demonic leadership with the way they are pushing the trans and CRT agendas.
Good presentation and informative!!
Thank you!
The food and my health was better in Mexico
👏
I completely understand and agree with the political environment reason to leave America. It is depressing and frustrating. I have stopped talking to many people over this specific subject. I wish people would shut up and keep their political opinions to themselves. Thank you for the video. My wife and I will consider giving this beautiful place a try before returning home to Central Europe
Thank you for sharing. So many of us feel the same way.
don't forget to mention the mexican beer as Sol, dos X, Indio, Corona, and my favorite "Barrilito" so good..

Been here since 1992; can't get used to the smell of dog's excrement that suffocate all urban cities of Mexico. Though, I am much better at not stepping on them now; the first few years were tough.
Where were you living?
My question to you, if what you said bothers you so much, why don’t you just leave and problem solved.
#4 resonated with me - surprised you put it out there...
I have one thing going for me that I speak spanish already
Been to Colombia many times but it is hideously difficult to get residency there & to me the one must live in one place semi-permanently if looking for a long term relationship otherwise you just end up with (hate to say it) Goldiggers
I agree.
Great video!
Thank you!
Interesting about the food. I recently read that 75% of Mexicans are ether obese or overweight. It also is one of the top countries for childhood obesity. What's that about?
Depends on what food you choose to eat.
That’s not my experience after 6 years in Baja Norte.
#1 is my #1 reason for being here! and I wouldnt say nobody is talking about it... maybe less people are talking about it right now than when we were in the middle of covid. in 2022 I was staying in Ajijic at an Air BNB that had people from the US, Canada, Germany, Denmark, Poland all staying there for the same reason and that was to escape the covid tyranny in our home countries. and we all talked about it a lot including with our Mexican hosts. unfortunately I have to fly back to Canada in a week to renew my passport. I hope I can get it done quickly and get the hell out of there before they bring in any new insanity. anyways, the level of freedom here is incredible. the police seem genuinely interested in doing their jobs... going after real crime and leaving average citizens alone to get on with their lives. none of the BS hassling people for jay walking that you can run into back in the US and Canada. ( just as one example)
I’m sure that one resonates with a lot of us! Good luck and safe travels amigo.
💯
Oh, the fun of being told you need an experimental shot to go get a meal at the local Keg restaurant.
I sure did miss my Sunday afternoon steaks.
Got my residence in June, getting ready to sale my house in Toronto and get down to Bucerías before the snow falls
We got our new Canadian passports in May came within a couple weeks. Went to our service Canada Office to renew. Good luck you should have no problems.
I found the police were corrupt whenn I was there.
experimental shot? Seriously? @@keithhannah8695
My BP drops 15 points by just crossing the Mexican border

I remember an American who lived and owned a boat tour business in Mexico. He told his American customers to come and talk with him about anything except politics.
That’s a good rule.
WOW! For me getting away from political tension, all by itself, is worth the price of admission whether anything else works out or not. I just want to get away from politics.
It’s that time of year again. I think we all want to get away from it. Thanks for watching.
My Mexican friends never drive at night while back home.
It depends on where you are. But in general it’s a safe practice.

I was born in Mexico in 1953 to America parents. We moved back to the US when I was 3. My US passport states I was born in Mexico. QUESTION: Why am I only allowed 90-days in Mexico when I enter? I tried to obtain a Mexican passport, but the local Mexican Consulate rejected me, as my parents dropped the second last name on all my US documents. 😟 Why is Mexico making it hard for me to move to Mexico?
The last name drop is most likely the problem. To address this issue, it might be best to consult with the Mexican Consulate or a legal expert who can provide guidance on resolving your nationality and immigration status in Mexico.
you should ask for a newly printed birth certificate if you have the original you go to the “Registro civil” of the city where you were born and registered with that original they will issue a new one with modern requirements, with that it will be way more easy to get the rest of your legal Mexican IDs and paperwork.
Perhaps you talk to an immigration consultant.
I think you do not understand how Mexicans express their politics. It is not that they are uninterested in politics. It's that they leave them out of personal conversations unless you bring them up. But many Mexicans are very passionate about politics. There are many reasons why they are not so public at all times about expressing their politics. One is that especially in the past and still in many parts of the country speaking up against certain parties, political tendencies or corrupt politicians and oligarchs could get you "disappeared." or tortured.
Maybe you missed the point I was trying to make. Moving to Mexico is an opportunity to remove oneself from the politics of their home country. I am fully aware that there are politics in Mexico 😉
I didn't miss your point. I responded to an implication and insufficient understanding of the context and practice of political engagement, which is more complex than your explanation assumed. @@MovingToMexiCo

I lived in Bucerias for 20 years. things the author missed. An incredible explosion of condos, essentially all the original building are a tear down, by the beach,what was a local restaurant is now a waffle house or a condo, Mark's comes to mind. If you go to happy hours with Canadian or Americans present, politic will come up, there are Trumpers everywhere and they can't resist going full tilt. Pick pockets and people on motor bike will try stealing your bags as you walk on a side walk, be careful in grocery stores, lots of theft schemes there. Dental care is affordable, but what you thought was a dentist is really a student in training. If you live across the highway, which is rare for foreigners, the whole picture changes and your really living in Mexico. Charming , friendly and authentic Mexico, but you need some language skills. We moved because of over crowding and crime, which has many different faces. Real estate. 8% broker fees highest in the world. Sales people are unlicensed, anybody can sell real estate , beware!
Thanks for sharing
And don't forget the intermittent water outages that happen, whether your a condo owner or own a house.@@MovingToMexiCo
My Mexican friends will talk about AMLO or Nieto briefly. When they do it’s mostly to say they are nothing. Irrelevancy is the biggest insult.
Thanks for sharing
I purchased 2 t-shirts months ago and never received them. Can you advise me?
Can you send me an email with the details of your order. info@movingtomexi.co
Yes, leaving politics at home and starting new habits. Ah, Bucerias, I haven’t been there since Covid hit. I miss getting ceviche at Mariscos Villarreal, breakfast at tuc and Tacos del Rin.
Those are all great spots! 😋
I lived in Bucerias for a year back in 2000. For me it was Tacos Betto on the corner across from the ice factory, and Tacos Pedro further north on the main highway. Betto had my favorite carne asada, while Pedro's had the al pastor I liked. A great small town close enough to Puerto Vallarta for everything else you'd need or want.
I'm definitely moving to Mexico before the 2024 presidential election!
I know… it’s like a mass ritual of negativity every 4 years at this point.
I lived in Mexico for the better part of twenty years close to Buserias. You say many people told you the food is less GMO and more natural in Mexico. ‘Many people’ is where you base your statement,, which means this statement is completely baseless.
There is excelent fresh and natural seafood,, but the regulations on poisons are way slacker then in the states,, the amount of pesticides and chemicals in general is incredible. You can pick up a tomato in the market and litterally shake liquid pesticide drops off it that were just sprayed on it in the store.
I love Mexico,, my advise is do not start a business,, appreciate and love Mexico for many reasons but don’t try to make money in a country where people are poor and you are seen as rich. Mexicans are super street smart,, corruption is systemic. Be generous and learn the language.
Thanks for sharing

Is there an age you would say, I am too old to move?
If there is a will there is a way!
let me chime in... when i was very young my father died in a car accident... i was around 6... when i was 12 my mother met my stepfather and he was 60 at the time... they spent 21 years together till he passed at the age of 81 from cancer... forgot to mention he was Canadian, divorced, his sons were already adults... so he found a second chance at love at the age of 60 here in Mexico... hope this helps in the age thing

I guess the primary concern with living in Mexico is going to be crime. I know some places like the Yucatan are pretty safe. But if you are a foreigner, you're alone and it shows. You have a target on your back. It's worse if you are an elderly retiree. t's not just Mexico, but all over the world. But the crime stats for Mexico are not good. I guess it depends on the town.
Yes. It’s always good to ask other locals about crime in the areas that you’re interested in. Coming from California the crime is about the same.
Have you ever visited Mexico? Before moving here I had traveled here quite often over 40 years time from the LA/Ventura area of CA. Since the early '80's I've camped and surfed on remote beaches mostly in Baja and never had any problems with crime. If you aren't into drugs or in a cartel or looking to join one and hone in on their businsses they pretty much leave you alone. They aren't out to get the average person or visitor going about their day. Crime here isn't as random it is in the US where it could happen to anyone anywhere and anytime. The well known bad areas are really easy to avoid, just don't go there! BTW- I'm hazel eyed, blond haired and definitely an older gringo! Muena suerte desde la hermosa Ensenada!
4 & 5 do not apply to me, but I totally agree with the first three. I might throw religion in with number 1. I’m from the South, so I am accustomed to people asking me if I’m “saved” 🤮. This has happed in Mexico City only once in 12 years, and the culprit was another expat.
Thanks for sharing 😉
Great advice on leaving your politics where you came from. Mexicans really don’t care about politics that much. Not such good advice about coming to Mexico to start a business. If you are interested about starting a business abroad pick Guatemala or Costa Rica. Just saying
Thanks for sharing.
I've read many a story, which I believe by the way, of Americans buying houses down there and if a group like a drug cartel or any other gang decides they want your house it becomes a horror story. Many times the federallies won't help at all because they're stretched too thin or they're scared themselves etc. If you don't take the hint and leave bizzarre things start happening like gun shots in the night, vandalism and on and on. Yes, you will find many a person whose never been touched. It's a big country also.
It most likely depends on where you move to. This will never happen in most cities in Mexico.
I’ve lived in Mexico and Texas (;retired) for the last 20 years. No place is perfect, but it’s mostly up to you, but You can’t be stupid. Mexico can be dangerous,
That’s right.
Mexico is dangerous if you have dealings with bad people.
I want to ride my bicycle
From Cancun to Texas.
Is it safe ?
Thx
Or Mexico City to San Diego?
Is it safe ?
Thx
Sure, here's a more casual version:
Thinking about biking from Cancun to Texas? It's a pretty epic adventure, but there are a few things to consider:
1. It's a seriously long ride, so make sure you're in good shape and ready for a workout.
2. The roads can be all over the place, from highways to backroads, so be ready for a variety of terrain.
3. Don't forget about border crossing stuff - paperwork, rules, all that jazz.
4. Keep an eye on the weather. The heat, rain, and storms can throw a wrench in your plans.
5. Safety first! Rock that helmet, wear bright clothes, and slap on some lights to stay visible.
6. Plan your route carefully, including stops for food, rest, and shelter.
7. Stay street smart and look out for your stuff.
8. Brush up on the traffic rules in Mexico and the USA.
9. Having a support vehicle or a buddy who's got your back is never a bad idea.
In a nutshell, it's a wild ride, so do your homework, maybe chat with some seasoned riders, and think about a trial run before you go all-in on this adventure. Stay safe out there! 🚴♂️🌞🌮🤠
@@MovingToMexiCo
I’ve done a lot of rides.
All across Australia, China, India and the USA.
I’m mainly concerned with the narcos or cartels. I worked with Mexicans in Los Angeles for years and they said if u look poor on a bicycle, they will leave u alone. I have a beard and a backpack. I look poor. I met a white guy who walked across Mex. He said if u wear long pants, they think u are just going to work on a bike. LoL. He said he had no problem
@@MovingToMexiCo I would also add. Don't ride at night because of the wildlife on the roadways and lack of lighting.
@@PInk77W1 You should alawys try to look like you are broke. Poor is a state of mind....
