I'm Mexican, born and raised. And seeing my country the way you portray it, made me cry. It's beautiful 💕 There are many terrible news about my home, but honestly, we are so much more than that. We are more good than bad, and we fight every day to demonstrate who we truly are. Thank you, Isabel, it was a memorable video.
I've been living in Mexico for over five years and coming here for many decades before making the move. To me it is as close to paradise as I ever expect to find. While it has beautiful sights, it is the people who make it for me. They are easy to live with I've found.
That happens to a lot of people and places because the media tends to focus more on the bad than the good. So that is usually what most people see, then think that everything is that way.
México will always have a special place in my heart. I came there when I had a lot of troubles in my home country, where everyone is very distant and cold. the people of this beautiful place taught me how to trust in others, how to cry and show emotions, how to live life playfully and how to have compassion towards myself and others. Even if politics and powerful people try to corrupt this country, they will never succeed in destroying the innate beauty of the people and their true connection to their land. Their spirit is strong and healing, no one can take it away.
México no es un lugar horrible para vivir en mi opinión tiene bastantes cosas que lo ponen al nivel de países primer mundistas, es el complejo de los propios mexicanos que nos hacen querer sentir inferior a otros
Hey Isabel and Logan. You're doing exactly what I've done most of my life. Just winging it. The best way to go. At 17, my bestie and I saved money, bought backpacks, pup tent, cooking gear, got passports, Youth Hostel passes, student fare tickets on Pan Am, and took off for a summer in Europe. I ended up staying there. My bestie died in our 30s, so it means even more that we did this. "The days are long, but the years are short." Keep doing these adventures, because once children come, the nature of adventures must change, because life does.
Thanks for sharing. I have lost two dear friends that were just 'the best' to travel with. I still think of them and miss them all the time. In my experience, a good travel partner is hard to find which makes me treasure the memories with them even more.
'The days are long, but the years are short." This is very true. I am part of this backpacker set as well. It is a great way to travel and learn about the real world. Excellent post. I am sorry that your lost your close friend. You do not have to have children if you do not want to. This is a personal choice.
Enjoy Mexico Isabel!!!! and Logan!!! I'm Canadian and been living in Mexico in Baja California for the last 28 years!!!! yep: lots of news of fear ...dont read it! just go with the flow, people in Mexico are so welcoming and nice xxxx
Thanks for sharing. So proud of you two for taking this trip last moment. Glad you two were able to experience out of the country travel. I just love how much you two care about one another and I love how much Logan adores you.
Those flowers you were smelling are Agapanthus also called African lily,they grow all over the Canary islands. We want to go to Mexico too for a holiday,I have heard a lot of good things about Oaxaca. The green stuff is Avocado and it is called guacamole. Enjoy
Oaxaca is a beautiful state! I've been there twice. Oaxaca city is my favorite City. And the people I absolutely adore. Are there so many little charming cities in Mexico. It's amazing how close they are to us in the US but you feel like you're in a whole new world. Oaxaca will always have a piece of My heart!
Good video and nice village, off the beaten track so to speak.. Went Mexico quite few years ago now Yucatan peninsula was great climbed the Pyramid saw all the ruins and did lots of excursions while I was there would love to go back and do it at a slower pace this time.. Stay safe! And have a good time! Cheers from London 👍😎🏴🇬🇧
melted heart hearing Logan sing that strain " I can't help falling in Love with you" Hearing this on Valentine's Day is so metaphysically sweet. Thank you both for travel to this place and sharing the experience.
I’m Mexican and since 3 years ago I’ve been wanting to go there to see how the produce the Khadi products and to disconnect. So nice you came to Mexico. 🌿💙🌿
@@angelicacurielmedina9129 I didn’t feel any anxiety, I think Oaxaca is pretty safe for tourists. I hope they don’t travel late at night and just to be aware. Wishing them the best.
I have traveled to 24 countries, primarily staying with locals and venturing off the beaten path. It's such a rich and heart-filling way to experience different communities and integrate into different ways of life. It's wonderful that you found that little village, and the textile work was wonderful to watch.
I so love that you showed local artisans crafting cotton & weaving. So cool to see your interests colliding with local industry & history of a village, seamlessly woven into the tapestry of your story. Just amazing. Isn't God Good?! Perspective is such a gift. Thank you for bringing us along. His grace is sufficient for the day. 🥰 That papaya looked so delicious 😋 Safe journey and bless you both.
@@dr.jenniferma3914 Since it's remote, I would guess she is keeping it private so that the village isn't inundated with people that don't demonstrate the same respect Isabel does. You seem to have a real thorn in your side for her; maybe just don't watch?
@@RockStarVee no, villages benefit off turism. Specially in Oaxaca which us a very turistic state in México. Oaxaca is one if not the most beautiful state in México you should visit! Of course remember to be respectful and practice your spanish but it’s not forbidden to go jajajaja
Hi Isabelle, Mexican here, thanks for portraying Mexico outside of the chaotic news ♡ I've lived in Oaxaca for most of my life, slow life and beautiful beaches. I suggest you to try San José for the magic shrooms and the beaches are just spectacular (Mazunte). if you're wondering about the narco stuff this a more north problem, here the social problem you will find is poverty and gentifrification. You know what they say you attract what you are, as long as you live in a free scare mindset enviroment you will be just fine. Enjoy Mexico and don't forget to tast our sacred cacao, oaxaca has the most amazing cacao ceremonies, coffee beans, and textile! xx
Hey beautiful Video Isabel !! We cannot think of anyone who can do justice to such shy/hidden villages. We had similar experience as you, but in a Balinese village, a few months ago and made a video about it. But the subtlety with which you have told this story is so heart warming. Hugs and Love from India ❤❤❤
I love the way you capture and honor the beauty of rustic and simplistic things that we don’t always remember are all around us because we are always looking for something spectacular. You create the most beautiful visual art in all your videos and it reminds me to look at everything from a different perspective.
❤ love love love your video !! Oaxaca is Beautiful ! I’m going to Tulum next month can’t wait to get out of this cold 🥶 here in Michigan 🇺🇸!! God Bless Isabel and Logan 💜❤️
I'm so happy, that you are doing, what you were dreaming about and felt like better not doing before - going, where your heart takes you. 💚 Thank you so much for being you. And have a lovely trip! How did u end up by the family you are staying with anyways? Lots of love to you
Thats so awesome that you found such a beautiful place to take in the culture with no prior plans. The people of Mexico are so loving, caring and willing to help people they do not know. I spent several months in Mexico under different circumstances that were not so good but the locals took me in and treated me like their own. Like any place in the world there are things you should be cautious of but don't let that keep you from enjoying the rich culture of the beautiful country of Mexico. I wish Logan did not have to leave you during your time there.
What a beautiful, beautiful video. All of it, the music, the videography, the narration, the house, the location, your demeanor… you have become quite the storyteller and the best thing is to see how grateful and graceful you are towards your surroundings and the people… Can’t wait to see more…
Loved it!! 😍 as a mexican (who lives in mexico) I would suggest always being alert when you go out, especially alone (try not to). Take care of all your belongings and keep them out of others’ sight!! Enjoy❤️
Im not going to lie, things have been hard over here lately. I think if you know a local you can trust it is better. But, its also not as bad as it sounds 🤣 I think it is one of the most beautiful places. As long as you dont come completely alone and stay aware of your surroundings it is fine ❤️
Agree, being alone as a young woman is something to pay attention to...this is not a fairy tail. There are true dangers and you must be observant and plan ahead, as much as possible.
So much fear in these words... everyone told me the same about traveling alone through India, but hitchking and all, the best way to go is with confidence and trust in the world. Of course, use your intuition and be aware, but not afraid or you'll attract that. I'm saying this as a chilean living in Mexico for two years now...
Be aware of what is going On around you traveling alone is questionable and at nite it can be quite dangerous..the cartel has no regard for life and you don't want to be human trafficed it is all real. We have spent 6 or 7 summers in Maztalan and were very cautious God Bless
How unexpected! A lovely trip to an exotic part of Mexico! Sunshine in the mountains. The textiles look wonderful and those colors of yarns are rich and earthy. I feel like you gave me a gift! Thank you! 💙🌸🌙🌲
So happy to see you guys not in the cold and rain and are basking in warmth!!! If you have internet, look for a translator app. I love that you are surrendering and letting go. You are beautiful just being. Logan’s music is so beautiful. So darn happy for yous. 💓
she's becoming so ew, doing such shady shit for likes. like her and Logan pretending they bought a van to make live in ready so they can do the van life.they bought the van already remodeled, took some parts out and pretended they built it and REMODELED IT.. the old owner of the van called them out on it. and she and Logan, raquelle started bullying Jasmin cherry because she called them out on it and then Isabel sent all her troll fans to degrade Jasmin. and now she's literally taking all her clothes off for likes and views.
Hi Isabel, I was born in Mexico City, but we moved to Miami and have been here ever since. I have travelled throughout Mexico and been to many different cities and towns. It is so beautiful there, so much to see and experience. I'm so glad you got the chance to see this remote village and experience something so different from your home. Enjoy the rest of your travels.
It's so refreshing that you went to a place like Oaxaca, instead of a more touristy place. The food there is said to be exquisite. I must ask how you found a place to stay in such a small village? Best of luck on your travels, and enjoy and have fun!
I spent a year backpacking through the mountains in Oaxaca. Never once did I have a place to stay in advance. It's very likely that she found room in a family home. The same was true in Guatemala. Be Kind.
@@dr.jenniferma3914 For many people, myself included, this is a very normal way of traveling. You can just open Maps or Airbnb and browse through it until you find something interesting, and a few days later (or even the same day) you can just be on a plane or a train or a bus and go there. Of course she didn't just throw a dart on a map and just stumbled on this village, but she doesn't imply that at all. She's just saying her plans change within the span of single days and that's super common.
Love that you jump on a plane with no plan! You drop some pearls of wisdom, it is a blessing you realize these truths at a young age. Looking forward to your travels.
That Papaya is huge! I am just the opposite of Isabel, I have to have everything planned out or I get so nervous. Another thing, I couldn't travel by myself, especially to a different country. I loved seeing the people weave, that was awesome.
I love how u are so brave Isabel the village looks so beautiful I which I can just pack up and do that's a enjoy way yo live out of this stressing place keep doing and enjoying God's creation .wow. love the place where u stayed go girl . Do ur thing
I love love love Mexico!!! If for some reason I'm ever compelled to leave the US, I'll go there. Many cousins are living there. You really show how beautiful it is there, and how lovely the people are. And the flower that you said smells like Jasmine, that's an agapanthus. Wonderful video!
So glad Logan is with you at least part of the way. I was getting a bit nervous about a pretty young lady heading out on her own without a plan. But, am glad to hear that you are comfortable where you are and are feeling less stressed about where you were a week ago. Enjoy your travels safe & sound!
Mexico is a beautiful country. And there you can clean your clothes by soap, and you don't need laundry. It's amazing to cook on fire. Traveling to discover another cultures like isabel, it's my desire.
I’ve been watching your videos everyday since I discovered you, but this video 😭❤️🩹 I’m from Mexico born and raised… thank you for this beautiful video, I love my country and I miss it everyday, I live currently in USA 🥺
Sunshine does make one feel better both physically and psychologically. We need good ole vitamins D by the natural conversion of sun on our skin. Very emotionally uplifting and healing. I love Mexico for sooo many reasons. Have a great time Isabel and thank you for taking us along.
Wonderful, thank you! I few years ago I received a grant to work on a film in France... I don't speak a word of French and was there a year with one suitcase and no plan except to write. I honestly did not want to leave ( may go back) and I only used half of what was in my little suitcase... I was mostly in a very small village, heating by fire and it taught me more than I could ever type here. most of all, I changed forever in my way of living.... I live very slow and simple. Former changed by the people and ways of life I saw. Better quality food and way of life. I let go and never looked back and find I cannot "hustle" and don't want to. Enjoy :)
Awww Logan! I am a bit more like you, thinking of what could go wrong. It is always a blessing when we get to see what could go right and be pleasantly surprised. There are risks to travel, it is good to be aware and wise. Always take activated charcoal on a trip, just wise.
Hey, come spend some time with us if you want ☺️? We live in nature in the Yucatan. We took over an abandoned ranch two years ago and we're trying to turn it into a little paradise. If the wind wants to carry you here, you are welcome in our French family 😘 (Superb inspiring video, as always)
I went to Mazatlan Mexico on vacation, ended up spending a total of 18 years living in Mexico. It is such a beautiful country, and beautiful people. Mafia, home invasions, and kidnappings became a problem where we lived, and I ended up moving back to the USA. Not everything you read online is fear mongering. Recently mazatlan and culican were shut down because the mafia had taken over both airports, were burning buses/cars in the streets, and killing people, all in retaliation of the son of el chapo being taken into custody. Be careful, and I do hope that you continue to have a wonderful vacation
There's a reason for the travel advisories, unfortunately Americans ignore them until they're begging Soldiers to come save them! Nothing makes us more annoyed than rescuing Americans who were warned but shrugged it off
@@CathleendeOntiveros I'm sorry this happened, now they don't have to kidnap, they have millions indebted to them for bring them to the border to simply walk in, problem solved for the cartels sadly.
@@CathleendeOntiveros wow!!! Luckily she escaped. Yes Mexico is so dangerous. You hear tragic stories about tourists all the time. People cannot be naive and trusting of people there.
absolutely adore your channel i love your vibe so free and adventurous. This is the best form of escapism i really enjoyed this video. your amazing!! hope your friend feels better soon covid sucks...
Isabel, I'm impressed that you were able to spend a week in a small village in the mountains around Oaxaca without being able to speak Spanish. Is it possible that the people there spoke Zapotec, a native Indian language. In 1974 we were a family of five (three small kids) and driving back to the US from Nicaragua where we had lived 2 years. Oaxaca is known for it's hand woven blankets stained with natural dyes. We wanted to buy two of these blankets in a village outside of Oaxaca. The old man who made and sold these blankets only spoke Zapotec and not Spanish. We ended up with a one hour bargaining session in Spanish with the man's young granddaughter who interpreted between Spanish and Zapotec. BTW, it's normal in Mexico for a bargaining (regateo) session to go on for a long time. We had been used to doing it in Nicaragua where it lasted only a minute.
I was in Oaxaca last week! It was really nice. It seems to be getting really trendy as a tourist destination, so many people have been going there lately. If you’re back in Oaxaca de Juarez you should check out Hierba Dulce. It’s an all vegan place with traditional dishes.
For Mexicans we always have been going to Oaxaca because it’s one of the most best states in our country. But yes, foreigners have been falling in love with Oaxaca the last decade.
I HAD TO PAUSE at 0:23s. If you are not listening with headphones, PAUSE AND REPLAY THE VIDEO FROM THE BEGINNING. The audio in this video is absolutely incredible and absolutely blew me away. I'm in my school's library right now taking a break to watch and I must say I have CHILLS. Mexico- along with Hawaii- are one of the places on this Earth where my heart has resonated so strongly. I am beyond excited to watch this new video, Isabel, I am just- my breath has been taken away with this audio paired with the visuals. Wow. stunning job.
The mountain villages in Oaxaca Mexico are very special. The indigenous people are gentle souls and the land is beautiful! Oaxaca is pronounced: woah hawk a 😊
Stunning, Stunning video ! This was so wonderful to see and see you and Logan enjoying yourselves in a Beautiful village in the middle of nowhere. Thank you for bringing us along 🙏🙏I really enjoyed and appreciated the hand made textiles and everything about this video 🥰🥰 Enjoy every minute while you are young. Life goes by so fast. Take care you two 🤗🤗 Much love and Happy Valentines day❤❤
So excited you’re in Mexico! I would suggest however taking the time to learn the language especially if you’re going to be in super cultured areas that don’t get a lot of tourists. Be so careful but have so much fun ❤❤
Love Mexico. My grandmother lived there for 25 years. Your navy blue outfit with the cross back top was so adorable. Cheers to Logan breaking his fear barrier to traveling to foreign lands.
Isabel, I am glad you were not by yourself, and Logan was with you. I don't need to worry about your safety now. It looks like you visited some nice places. Love from Mike. ❤
You get the winter blues like I do. It’s a real thing and everything you said about your mood totally changed in the warmth and sun I 100% understand that the natural vitamin D is a cure for the winter blues. I have wondered if you had the winter blues last winter when you struggled with your emotions really bad, probably the worst since watching your channel many yrs ago. Now you know so maybe you can start to travel during the worst part of the winter. My winter blues start in late September. It wasn’t until I went to the doctor one year feeling depressed , icky, and didn’t give a care about anything . The next year I went to the doctor feeling the same way. The doctor looks at me and asked me if I knew that I come to the doctors the exact same time last year down to the day. I of course had no clue. That’s when he told me that I have the winter blues. ( which I already knew he just confirmed what I already known my whole life) . The winters just suck. Cold, everything dead, snow, and did I mention the cold?? It’s only pretty 1 day a year Christmas the rest of the time it can be sunny and warm. We live on a farm so moving to a warm climate wouldn’t work because the animals like to eat all year around.. silly right?! My hubby sent me to Florida for a few years but I haven’t gone the last 2 yrs for one reason or another. We are winter blues sisters. lol Not the ideal group to be a part but it’s a necessary group to have. Supporter do support and you need people who understand what your going through . The ones who understand are ones who live it as well. I want to say my family understood but they didn’t . They tried but it’s hard to explain to others exactly what your feeling . words are hard sometimes.
Thanks for sharing your journeys, Isabel! I would love to hear you sing a duet sometime, or even solo. I have a feeling you are a very good singer :) And what is a good singer anyway? All humans can just sing if they want. I'd love to hear your friend sing more too. I see you guys connecting and it is beautiful! my advice- hold on.
Okay, that library! Oh my god, and probably yours as well, I would have camped there. And I am trying to wrap my head around someone never having eaten paw paw before. (Australian name for papaya). What beautiful textiles ❤ I love handmade fabrics. I normally do not enjoy travel vlogs. But your cinematography is so beautiful and now I want to see Mexico!
This is absolutely beautiful! I haven't been to Mexico before, but I am hoping in the future to drive my old camper van down! Love the intro so much, sending love:)
Got 2 aces lived in New Mexico As the family grown up we moved to Indiana settled down and our family all moved to Indiana memories moments together is priceless we get together Sunday’s bring food have so many fun love you guys have fun oks 😊🫶🏼🦋🐝🦋
How exciting for you both and a real breath of fresh air. I am always in awe of finding small villages that still are creating their sustainable living with crafts that have been passed hand to hand down through the generations. I hope you both really enjoy this new journey and thank you so much for sharing it with us. just wondering whether Logan shared his beautiful guitar playing with the local children, i have always found that music reaches further than language when we can't share words. love to you both x
she's becoming so ew, doing such shady shit for likes. like her and Logan pretending they bought a van to make live in ready so they can do the van life.they bought the van already remodeled, took some parts out and pretended they built it and REMODELED IT.. the old owner of the van called them out on it. and she and Logan, raquelle started bullying Jasmin cherry because she called them out on it and then Isabel sent all her troll fans to degrade Jasmin. and now she's literally taking all her clothes off for likes and views.
A very pretty place. It good to just getaway and not fill it with so many things to do. I wish these videos were longer. Better then any content on tv🌻🌻

You gotta visit my country too Isabel... El Salvador is beautiful - I grew up in a village that reminded me of where you stayed... the diff would be El Salvador is always warm... prob rarely goes under 65 degrees. I Can't wait to go back.
I've been watching your videos for about two years. This is possibly the best one IMHO. It begins with a maturity but never looses its positivity nor the possibility in the power to let go when something doesn't go the way you expected, and, it owns every second of itself. I even paused the video at the end the same way one might put a book down as the last pages ticked away so it would last longer.
I lived in Mexico for a year and half, it's a beautiful place. Villages are definitely safer than the cities, unless you go to a tourist area. There are more safeguards in place in tourist areas. But I am so glad you guys are having fun!
Good Sunday morning Isabel. Great video as always. That fresh papaya looks absolutely delicious. Thanks for sharing another look at your wonderful nomadic life living and camping in a traditional Mexican village. 😁😉
Isabel, very glad to see you on your journey. And your view on presenting the local place and its tradition makes the eyes travel🍃 Indeed Mexico is a country of variety, my half home from the side of my mother, she was from Tampico and Veracruz 🌴 Relaxing is also essential part of our daily life if we want to maintain our selves healthy. It's balance. For a while, and then by nature we restore our strength and we keep going. One tip, tamales veganos y mole vegano, if you find it, try it😊🌾 Many blessings Isabel on your path, stay safe, be alert if alone on the journey and merits to all around you🙏🌷 Walking always on well lit lighted places, by day🌻

This is so true. Just like if you are to watch American news. It’s all bad until you actually live here, then it’s not so bad.
Hey Isabel and Logan. You're doing exactly what I've done most of my life. Just winging it. The best way to go.

@@erdiaz13 hey thank you so much eldiaz 😁😁.
I love the way you capture and honor the beauty of rustic and simplistic things that we don’t always remember are all around us because we are always looking for something spectacular. You create the most beautiful visual art in all your videos and it reminds me to look at everything from a different perspective.
i'm so happy for you - you are glowing with joy! Mexico is such a beautiful place. i hope you enjoy it to its fullest - and stay safe please!
❤ love love love your video !!
Oaxaca is Beautiful !
I’m going to Tulum next month can’t wait to get out of this cold 🥶 here in Michigan 🇺🇸!!
God Bless Isabel and Logan 💜❤️
Really loved the bit about traditional textile creation, I really hope this village’s craft and knowledge will live on
I'm so happy you decided to travel to someplace warm this time. Blessings on your journey.
I'm so happy, that you are doing, what you were dreaming about and felt like better not doing before - going, where your heart takes you. 💚 Thank you so much for being you. And have a lovely trip! How did u end up by the family you are staying with anyways? Lots of love to you
I loved when you captured Logan singing, "I can't help falling in love with you...." What a beautiful song for a beautiful Isabel.
Thats so awesome that you found such a beautiful place to take in the culture with no prior plans. The people of Mexico are so loving, caring and willing to help people they do not know. I spent several months in Mexico under different circumstances that were not so good but the locals took me in and treated me like their own. Like any place in the world there are things you should be cautious of but don't let that keep you from enjoying the rich culture of the beautiful country of Mexico. I wish Logan did not have to leave you during your time there.
What a beautiful, beautiful video.
All of it, the music, the videography, the narration, the house, the location, your demeanor… you have become quite the storyteller and the best thing is to see how grateful and graceful you are towards your surroundings and the people…
Can’t wait to see more…
Loved it!! 😍 as a mexican (who lives in mexico) I would suggest always being alert when you go out, especially alone (try not to). Take care of all your belongings and keep them out of others’ sight!!
Enjoy❤️
I would love to visit Mexico but your caution makes me a bit nervous to do so
Im not going to lie, things have been hard over here lately. I think if you know a local you can trust it is better. But, its also not as bad as it sounds 🤣 I think it is one of the most beautiful places. As long as you dont come completely alone and stay aware of your surroundings it is fine ❤️
Agree, being alone as a young woman is something to pay attention to...this is not a fairy tail. There are true dangers and you must be observant and plan ahead, as much as possible.
So much fear in these words... everyone told me the same about traveling alone through India, but hitchking and all, the best way to go is with confidence and trust in the world. Of course, use your intuition and be aware, but not afraid or you'll attract that. I'm saying this as a chilean living in Mexico for two years now...
Be aware of what is going On around you
traveling alone is questionable and at nite it can be quite dangerous..the cartel has no regard for life and you don't want to be human trafficed
it is all real. We have spent 6 or 7 summers in Maztalan and were very cautious
God Bless
How unexpected! A lovely trip to an exotic part of Mexico! Sunshine in the mountains. The textiles look wonderful and those colors of yarns are rich and earthy. I feel like you gave me a gift! Thank you! 💙🌸🌙🌲
So happy to see you guys not in the cold and rain and are basking in warmth!!! If you have internet, look for a translator app. I love that you are surrendering and letting go. You are beautiful just being. Logan’s music is so beautiful.
So darn happy for yous. 💓
she's becoming so ew, doing such shady shit for likes. like her and Logan pretending they bought a van to make live in ready so they can do the van life.they bought the van already remodeled, took some parts out and pretended they built it and REMODELED IT.. the old owner of the van called them out on it. and she and Logan, raquelle started bullying Jasmin cherry because she called them out on it and then Isabel sent all her troll fans to degrade Jasmin. and now she's literally taking all her clothes off for likes and views.
مرحبا كيفك 🌹
Hi Isabel, I was born in Mexico City, but we moved to Miami and have been here ever since. I have travelled throughout Mexico and been to many different cities and towns. It is so beautiful there, so much to see and experience. I'm so glad you got the chance to see this remote village and experience something so different from your home. Enjoy the rest of your travels.
It's so refreshing that you went to a place like Oaxaca, instead of a more touristy place. The food there is said to be exquisite. I must ask how you found a place to stay in such a small village? Best of luck on your travels, and enjoy and have fun!
@@dr.jenniferma3914 That's kind of cynical, don't you think? Don't be a hater.
@@dr.jenniferma3914 nah she’s probably in an airbnb and paying the family a good amount. Oaxaca is turisty people welcome turists✌️
How do you know that Dr. Jennifer?
I spent a year backpacking through the mountains in Oaxaca. Never once did I have a place to stay in advance. It's very likely that she found room in a family home. The same was true in Guatemala. Be Kind.
@@dr.jenniferma3914 For many people, myself included, this is a very normal way of traveling. You can just open Maps or Airbnb and browse through it until you find something interesting, and a few days later (or even the same day) you can just be on a plane or a train or a bus and go there. Of course she didn't just throw a dart on a map and just stumbled on this village, but she doesn't imply that at all. She's just saying her plans change within the span of single days and that's super common.
Love that you jump on a plane with no plan! You drop some pearls of wisdom, it is a blessing you realize these truths at a young age. Looking forward to your travels.
That Papaya is huge! I am just the opposite of Isabel, I have to have everything planned out or I get so nervous. Another thing, I couldn't travel by myself, especially to a different country. I loved seeing the people weave, that was awesome.
Ugh me too, I have to plan everything… I love Isabel how she can be just go with the flow & open, no plan, let’s just go attitude.
I love how u are so brave Isabel the village looks so beautiful I which I can just pack up and do that's a enjoy way yo live out of this stressing place keep doing and enjoying God's creation .wow. love the place where u stayed go girl . Do ur thing
I love love love Mexico!!! If for some reason I'm ever compelled to leave the US, I'll go there. Many cousins are living there. You really show how beautiful it is there, and how lovely the people are. And the flower that you said smells like Jasmine, that's an agapanthus. Wonderful video!
I’m traveling to Costa Rica in about a week for the first time and this spoke so much to me. I’m leaning into this beautiful feeling. Thank you 🙏 ❤
So glad Logan is with you at least part of the way. I was getting a bit nervous about a pretty young lady heading out on her own without a plan.
But, am glad to hear that you are comfortable where you are and are feeling less stressed about where you were a week ago.
Enjoy your travels safe & sound!
Mexico is a beautiful country.
And there you can clean your clothes by soap, and you don't need laundry.
It's amazing to cook on fire.
Traveling to discover another cultures like isabel, it's my desire.
I’ve been watching your videos everyday since I discovered you, but this video 😭❤️🩹 I’m from Mexico born and raised… thank you for this beautiful video, I love my country and I miss it everyday, I live currently in USA 🥺
Sunshine does make one feel better both physically and psychologically. We need good ole vitamins D by the natural conversion of sun on our skin. Very emotionally uplifting and healing.
I love Mexico for sooo many reasons. Have a great time Isabel and thank you for taking us along.
!I loved watching your new adventure!! It must feel good to enjoy the warmth of Mexico...great video
oh my god Isabel. I was in Mexico exactly one year ago, and I really fell in love with this country. I‘m so happy for you that you made it to there ❤️
Glad you were able to visit this part of my country, Oxaca is very traditional, next time you stay in my home! :>)
Wonderful, thank you! I few years ago I received a grant to work on a film in France... I don't speak a word of French and was there a year with one suitcase and no plan except to write. I honestly did not want to leave ( may go back) and I only used half of what was in my little suitcase... I was mostly in a very small village, heating by fire and it taught me more than I could ever type here. most of all, I changed forever in my way of living.... I live very slow and simple. Former changed by the people and ways of life I saw. Better quality food and way of life. I let go and never looked back and find I cannot "hustle" and don't want to. Enjoy :)
Awww Logan! I am a bit more like you, thinking of what could go wrong. It
is always a blessing when we get to see what could go right and be pleasantly surprised. There are risks to travel, it is good to be aware and wise. Always take activated charcoal on a trip, just wise.
Hey, come spend some time with us if you want ☺️? We live in nature in the Yucatan. We took over an abandoned ranch two years ago and we're trying to turn it into a little paradise. If the wind wants to carry you here, you are welcome in our French family 😘 (Superb inspiring video, as always)
Wow, wow, wow! So intriguing! Thank you for taking us along! Sending love ♥️
Yay! Bienvenidos a Mexico 🎉❤😊
Oaxaca is everything. I count the days to where I get to move there with my family 🫶🏼
Beautiful- I love seeing how they make the textiles!
I went to Mazatlan Mexico on vacation, ended up spending a total of 18 years living in Mexico. It is such a beautiful country, and beautiful people. Mafia, home invasions, and kidnappings became a problem where we lived, and I ended up moving back to the USA. Not everything you read online is fear mongering. Recently mazatlan and culican were shut down because the mafia had taken over both airports, were burning buses/cars in the streets, and killing people, all in retaliation of the son of el chapo being taken into custody. Be careful, and I do hope that you continue to have a wonderful vacation
What? Kidnapped twice??! For money?
There's a reason for the travel advisories, unfortunately Americans ignore them until they're begging Soldiers to come save them! Nothing makes us more annoyed than rescuing Americans who were warned but shrugged it off
@@CathleendeOntiveros I'm sorry this happened, now they don't have to kidnap, they have millions indebted to them for bring them to the border to simply walk in, problem solved for the cartels sadly.
That's terrible. I am sorry this happened to you two.
@@CathleendeOntiveros wow!!! Luckily
she escaped. Yes Mexico is so dangerous. You hear tragic stories about tourists all the time. People cannot be naive and trusting of people there.
absolutely adore your channel i love your vibe so free and adventurous. This is the best form of escapism i really enjoyed this video. your amazing!! hope your friend feels better soon covid sucks...
this is such a beautiful video Isabel, im very happy and inspired now I’ve finish watching
Isabel, I'm impressed that you were able to spend a week in a small village in the mountains around Oaxaca without being able to speak Spanish. Is it possible that the people there spoke Zapotec, a native Indian language. In 1974 we were a family of five (three small kids) and driving back to the US from Nicaragua where we had lived 2 years. Oaxaca is known for it's hand woven blankets stained with natural dyes. We wanted to buy two of these blankets in a village outside of Oaxaca. The old man who made and sold these blankets only spoke Zapotec and not Spanish. We ended up with a one hour bargaining session in Spanish with the man's young granddaughter who interpreted between Spanish and Zapotec. BTW, it's normal in Mexico for a bargaining (regateo) session to go on for a long time. We had been used to doing it in Nicaragua where it lasted only a minute.
My dream is to move to Oaxaca to study Otomi embroidery.
Mexico is indeed a mystical place steeped in culture, tradition and magic.
🤎
as a mexican studying abroad this video made me miss home more than usual, im glad u enjoyed your trip !
Me 2 !! I mis Mexico so much!!! 😔
You two are so good for each other❤! Love this! Looks like an amazing experience you had!
I was in Oaxaca last week! It was really nice. It seems to be getting really trendy as a tourist destination, so many people have been going there lately. If you’re back in Oaxaca de Juarez you should check out Hierba Dulce. It’s an all vegan place with traditional dishes.
For Mexicans we always have been going to Oaxaca because it’s one of the most best states in our country. But yes, foreigners have been falling in love with Oaxaca the last decade.
I HAD TO PAUSE at 0:23s.
If you are not listening with headphones, PAUSE AND REPLAY THE VIDEO FROM THE BEGINNING. The audio in this video is absolutely incredible and absolutely blew me away. I'm in my school's library right now taking a break to watch and I must say I have CHILLS. Mexico- along with Hawaii- are one of the places on this Earth where my heart has resonated so strongly. I am beyond excited to watch this new video, Isabel, I am just- my breath has been taken away with this audio paired with the visuals. Wow. stunning job.
I absolutely adore Mexico
The mountain villages in Oaxaca Mexico are very special. The indigenous people are gentle souls and the land is beautiful! Oaxaca is pronounced: woah hawk a 😊
You definitely need to travel like this in the winter. I'm sure the Mexican people in that village loved having you both their 💜
Big up from Jamaica ❤
Hi Isabel, love your video. I was born in beautiful oaxaca. My parents currently live there if you need a place to stay. Let me know. ❤
Stunning, Stunning video ! This was so wonderful to see and see you and Logan enjoying yourselves in a Beautiful village in the middle of nowhere. Thank you for bringing us along 🙏🙏I really enjoyed and appreciated the hand made textiles and everything about this video 🥰🥰 Enjoy every minute while you are young. Life goes by so fast. Take care you two 🤗🤗 Much love and Happy Valentines day❤❤
So excited you’re in Mexico! I would suggest however taking the time to learn the language especially if you’re going to be in super cultured areas that don’t get a lot of tourists. Be so careful but have so much fun ❤❤
Love Mexico. My grandmother lived there for 25 years. Your navy blue outfit with the cross back top was so adorable. Cheers to Logan breaking his fear barrier to traveling to foreign lands.
I’m glad Logan started out with you. You are so brave. This is what living is! So proud of you! ❤️☕️
Amazing trip. So uplifting. Looks like you found yourselves again in the sunshine and simplicity of life in Mexico
Isabel, I am glad you were not by yourself, and Logan was with you. I don't need to worry about your safety now. It looks like you visited some nice places.
Love from Mike. ❤
You get the winter blues like I do. It’s a real thing and everything you said about your mood totally changed in the warmth and sun I 100% understand that the natural vitamin D is a cure for the winter blues. I have wondered if you had the winter blues last winter when you struggled with your emotions really bad, probably the worst since watching your channel many yrs ago. Now you know so maybe you can start to travel during the worst part of the winter. My winter blues start in late September. It wasn’t until I went to the doctor one year feeling depressed , icky, and didn’t give a care about anything . The next year I went to the doctor feeling the same way. The doctor looks at me and asked me if I knew that I come to the doctors the exact same time last year down to the day. I of course had no clue. That’s when he told me that I have the winter blues. ( which I already knew he just confirmed what I already known my whole life) . The winters just suck. Cold, everything dead, snow, and did I mention the cold?? It’s only pretty 1 day a year Christmas the rest of the time it can be sunny and warm. We live on a farm so moving to a warm climate wouldn’t work because the animals like to eat all year around.. silly right?! My hubby sent me to Florida for a few years but I haven’t gone the last 2 yrs for one reason or another. We are winter blues sisters. lol Not the ideal group to be a part but it’s a necessary group to have. Supporter do support and you need people who understand what your going through . The ones who understand are ones who live it as well. I want to say my family understood but they didn’t . They tried but it’s hard to explain to others exactly what your feeling . words are hard sometimes.
Thanks for sharing your journeys, Isabel! I would love to hear you sing a duet sometime, or even solo. I have a feeling you are a very good singer :) And what is a good singer anyway? All humans can just sing if they want. I'd love to hear your friend sing more too. I see you guys connecting and it is beautiful! my advice- hold on.
I am at the intro and I have goosebumps. This video was 10/10. 🙏❤️🌈🌟
Okay, that library! Oh my god, and probably yours as well, I would have camped there. And I am trying to wrap my head around someone never having eaten paw paw before. (Australian name for papaya). What beautiful textiles ❤ I love handmade fabrics. I normally do not enjoy travel vlogs. But your cinematography is so beautiful and now I want to see Mexico!
I used to live in WA state, moved closer to the equator, couldnt pay me to go back. The sun is amazing and its effect on your mood is profound
This is absolutely beautiful! I haven't been to Mexico before, but I am hoping in the future to drive my old camper van down! Love the intro so much, sending love:)
Wow...the shots of the mountains 8 minutes in. Absolutely breathtaking. Looks like a lovely trip.
Excited for you to continue with your journey. You are young wild and free Isabel ❤️. The PNW will hopefully welcome you back with it's summer sun.
Got 2 aces lived in New Mexico As the family grown up we moved to Indiana settled down and our family all moved to Indiana memories moments together is priceless we get together Sunday’s bring food have so many fun love you guys have fun oks 😊🫶🏼🦋🐝🦋
Woow estuviste en Oaxaca! Me hubiera encantado conocerte 🤩 , me encantan tus videos 🥰
You have to take a visit to the mountains of Colombia,…Mexico is a dream. Oaxaca is ❤
How exciting for you both and a real breath of fresh air. I am always in awe of finding small villages that still are creating their sustainable living with crafts that have been passed hand to hand down through the generations. I hope you both really enjoy this new journey and thank you so much for sharing it with us. just wondering whether Logan shared his beautiful guitar playing with the local children, i have always found that music reaches further than language when we can't share words. love to you both x
Thank you Isabel 💖
Only you can capture calm and excitement at the same time so beautifully in a video! Thank you for sharing your journey with us, Isabel

A very pretty place. It good to just getaway and not fill it with so many things to do. I wish these videos were longer. Better then any content on tv🌻🌻
0:11 So natural, beautiful, nice, peaceful.. She is living embodiment of hippiedom. She looked incredibly beautiful in the thumbnail for this vid

This vacation was so you Isabel. I love how excited and appreciative you are for the simple things.❤
You gotta visit my country too Isabel... El Salvador is beautiful - I grew up in a village that reminded me of where you stayed... the diff would be El Salvador is always warm... prob rarely goes under 65 degrees. I Can't wait to go back.
I've been watching your videos for about two years. This is possibly the best one IMHO. It begins with a maturity but never looses its positivity nor the possibility in the power to let go when something doesn't go the way you expected, and, it owns every second of itself. I even paused the video at the end the same way one might put a book down as the last pages ticked away so it would last longer.
Beautiful as always Isabel!
Thanks for sharing this beautiful video! Such a wonderful experience to visit a small authentic Mexican village!!
Loved the video. The little village simplicity
More travel series please ;-) love this
I lived in Mexico for a year and half, it's a beautiful place. Villages are definitely safer than the cities, unless you go to a tourist area. There are more safeguards in place in tourist areas. But I am so glad you guys are having fun!
Good Sunday morning Isabel. Great video as always. That fresh papaya looks absolutely delicious. Thanks for sharing another look at your wonderful nomadic life living and camping in a traditional Mexican village. 😁😉
Isabel, very glad to see you on your journey. And your view on presenting the local place and its tradition makes the eyes travel🍃
Indeed Mexico is a country of variety, my half home from the side of my mother, she was from Tampico and Veracruz 🌴
Relaxing is also essential part of our daily life if we want to maintain our selves healthy.
It's balance. For a while, and then by nature we restore our strength and we keep going.
One tip, tamales veganos y mole vegano, if you find it, try it😊🌾
Many blessings Isabel on your path, stay safe, be alert if alone on the journey and merits to all around you🙏🌷
Walking always on well lit lighted places, by day🌻
Your filmmaking is so beautiful, thank you Isabel :)
If anyone is wondering where her blue outfit is from, it's from Etsy! I have the same set from the shop called linocolore :)
Hola Isabel, bienvenida a Mexico! ✨ Soy de Guadalajara, Jalisco.
Se que te va a encantar!
Te sigo desde que empezaste a subir videos, me encanta lo qué haces y lo que transmites, eres única.
Disfruta mucho esta aventura entre culturas, naturaleza y lo más rico, la gastronomía.
Saludos! 🫂💞
Woow qué chido encontrar gente paisana por acá!
