Hola Cafe con Leche!! I'm just getting to see your latest video and to my surprise, you featured the neighborhood I'm currently visiting - Las Americas!! I love it here so far!! I'm Jamaican and you're both the main reason I decided to make Merida my home base in Mexico as I test the digital nomad lifestyle. I'm almost 2 weeks in. I've been following your adventures since day 1. I would love to meet up if that's possible.
Buenos dias! 😃 We just moved from Canada to Mexico! We are currently staying at an Airbnb (in a privada) in Temozon Norte until we find a property. Hope to bump into you guys one day!
I hate to say this… but within a year or so people will be paying 9 or 10% interest mortgage payments on a close to a million USD loans. Social Security payments don’t even pay for rent anymore. You have to start thinking outside the box my friends!
Thank you sooo much for the videos you have been a great help and we r excited to go visit Merida n possibly living pt there..we will continue looking for your videos☺🤗💜
We really love your videos! Thank you for the Merida neighborhood tours, especially since Merida is still high on the list for our next visit when we do our canje at the INM. We are just starting out with content, but we featured you guys in our last vlog in our top 10 TH-camrs in Mexico. 💗
May I ask what you pay for your rent? Moving there in a few weeks for a 12-18 month stay with wife, young son and small dog and have heard mixed comments about agents and rental contracts, etc along with cost of a/c. Much appreciated.
Thank you for showing where not to go. It was so boring 😴 I need more of a small town feel, where I can just walk and get some fresh produce everyday. Great video, keep up the great work
Vive la différence (oops wrong idioma) and all that but... Las Americas looks like a soulless place. Can anyone translate Droidville into Spanish? Drone shots really enhanced this video 👏🏻
Hey guys great video Thanks for sharing your time with us we truly appreciate you 2 🥰 Las Americas has absolutely everything We lived a little further north n I'd go biking around there daily EARLY IN THE MORNING haha And some shopping n dining out as it offers everything n easier to get around driving We own a car Peace guys J&D
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and opinions. I will be coming to Merida with my wife, young son and our dog. We will be driving there and will have a car. I am wondering what recommendations you have for finding a long term rental. We are considering Temezon Norte. We have read the comments in various groups about issues with dealing with agents, scams and other problems one can face when looking for a rental. Also, wondering how you handle the heat when a/c can be very expensive as I understand. Much appreciated and thanks again!
Definitely not my cup of tea when comparing to other areas of Merida, but to each his own. Flooding is a real problem in some spots of Las Americas because there's nowhere for the water to go. A woman was electrocuted a couple of years ago by touching a power pole while standing in flood waters, tragic. Oh, you just mentioned the flooding. Sorry, I comment while watching :) - Anne
Lleve..llueve y se inunda y encharcamientos no hay drenaje ...el cableado es en el suelo es peligroso se va la luz y es insoportable el calor hay que decir la🤔 verdad
Where is the information about the car rental place you all are using? We do not own a car here either and sometimes it would be nice to have one when you have to do a lot of running around.
They’re called Many Ways (😂) and their WhatsApp is in the description! We also used Veloz down in Centro - this one had a bit newer cars for about the same price though 🤷♂️
I'm seriously considering living in Merida, and I have a car, but all of this really feels like it's too far out, even if it is closer to the beaches. Many thanks for this. I'm learning a lot from your videos. The drone shots are very helpful! I'd love to know about Dzitya, and also neighbourhoods inside the periferico.
Great video!! We are hoping to move in a year or so and your content is great. I was just wandering how does the mail work? And does Amazon prime work in Mexico or do you use a different delivery website?
Great question! We use a service called Traveling Mailbox to keep an address in the States and they scans/email us any mail we get, and can ship packages as well (bit.ly/ccltravelingmailbox). The local mail service in Mexico can be hit or miss, so if we do send anything, we use FedEx or DHL, which are more reliable. There is Amazon in Mexico, but there isn't Prime - but we've gotten used to not having things delivered overnight. (Although there are tons of great local delivery apps like Rappi where you can have food/groceries/literally anything delivered in bigger cities).
@@TravelWTravis oh wow that is great information! Thank you for responding back! I have been watching your videos non-stop lol I need all the information and you guys are great with the details ☺️
So those neighborhoods are just not attractive, but , i lived in the country my whole life. What I do really like is your teeth David. They are looking fantastic, i can't believe how much they have moved, you must be thrilled with the results.
I LOVE MEXICO, traveled a dozen states. It’s not bad in Las Americas VI. It wasn’t bad at all, it was very new. I found it to be clean and the conveniences were amazing, the houses make businesses out of there homes, so you can find butchers, laundry drop off, all kinds of food. Yes, you need a car and it is convenient to the beach and into Merida centro. Supermarkets are all around and are good. There are stray dogs or neighborhood dogs that lay out in center of the streets and tease the dogs behind their home gates, it can get noisy. That is to be expected when so close. I couldn’t get used to the bars on the windows, feels like a prison inside and everyone has them there. Overall option for budget it isn’t bad at all.
Haha of course! There’s a great English library down in Centro - we did a video with them a while back, but they’re called MEL if you want to google them (Merida English Library)!
This type of development is all over México. It is a "cookie cutter" style of housing. We've had them in Mexico since the 60's. Look it up as INFONAVIT.
Yikes.... looks like Simi Valley in the 80's🤣 not so sure about carbon copy living...oh wait, I am sure...it's not for me, but probably attractive to many 😉
I do find that the immense communities are a bit overwhelming. However, I remember riding my motorcycle around Mexico, and seeing some that I thought would be very nice. If you're going to be in your house, having a small yard, maybe with a pool, modern design and air conditioning are all lovely to have. I'd still prefer all of that with early retirement, to working to my 60s full of rage and disappointment in the US.
Lower the music please. I have to use earphones. I love your videos, and still love Queretaro. Merida is too hot and humid. Silence music, when you are talking. I have La Comer deliver my groceries etc. I have been coming to Acapulco for over 60 years, and earthquakes is my I did not retire in Acapulco, but she is my love I am loving Queretaro now, and the people are slso nice. I do speak Spanish as a second language.
Looks like a huge New Orleans cemetery painted white. Needs a lot more trees or else it'll bake in the sun. Much prefer the color and variety and greenery of centro but that's one person's taste.

I Love Temozon Norte!!! Nature, modernity, town, amenities. Near malls, hospitals and of course beach ❤
Please consider a meet up in Mexico. I think you’d be surprised by the number of people interested!!
We do them every so often with our Patreons - if you'd like to join, the link is in the video description!

Hi Yanique, did you get your visa from the embassy in Jamaica? They told me I need income of $3150 to get temp residency.
Buenos dias! 😃 We just moved from Canada to Mexico! We are currently staying at an Airbnb (in a privada) in Temozon Norte until we find a property. Hope to bump into you guys one day!
I live for y’all’s videos ! 🥰🥰 I love y’all and I love watching y’all’s growth in every video !

☕ con🥛
😃👍
❤️❤️❤️
Newer but I think I really love the colonial homes 🥰💖
I really appreciate the neighborhood videos. It is enlightening. Cheers.
We’re so glad!

Love that little cruz'n Las Americas that was beautiful I enjoyed it Thank you guys.🤗🙏🏾
Farmers markets, fresh vegetables? Thank you, always informative and pleasant!
I purchased your Connected Expats program last night! I’m excited to go over the lessons as my hubby and I are living to Mexico in a few months! 😃
Thank you for showing us around .. very nice communities… nice wide roads too .. 😁

Hey guys… check out Jardines de Miraflores, Miraflores neighborhoods!
a/c can run up your electric bill more than rent. I get everything included in my 100% beautifully furnished apartment, and maid service in Queretaro.
May I ask what you pay for your rent? Moving there in a few weeks for a 12-18 month stay with wife, young son and small dog and have heard mixed comments about agents and rental contracts, etc along with cost of a/c. Much appreciated.
Thank you for showing where not to go. It was so boring 😴 I need more of a small town feel, where I can just walk and get some fresh produce everyday. Great video, keep up the great work
Reminds me of the movie Vivarium. I like the other locations.
Absolutely love your videos.
Aw thanks! We’re so glad!!
I really like the information you provide in your videos, they are short, and sweet and to the point. But on the other hand fun! Kuddos!!
Thanks so much!!
@@TravelWTravis De nada chicos!!
great video as always thanks for sharing it with us ☺️

Did you see any hospitals, schools and parks in las Americas?
Congrats on 10k! :)
Thanks!! 🎉❤️🎉
Aaah, its Thursday 🙂

Hola mi amigos favorito!
Nice work , very nice work! check out Alcala Martin ? , not so much for a vid, I just think you'll like it.
Also checkout Gran San Pedro Cholul - very much like Las Americas but closer to Alta Brisa in the North East. Thanks
We will!

Reminds me of an industrial park….not very enticing!

@@TravelWTravis Thanks Guys!!! and in answer to your question, Greg and I live in Las Brisas, Merida. It is an older neighborhood but has many perks.
Wich rental do you use at mérida

I wish you guys were my brothers...
That place got flooded during hurricane delta
Yep, we showed that in the video!
Great video!! We are hoping to move in a year or so and your content is great. I was just wandering how does the mail work? And does Amazon prime work in Mexico or do you use a different delivery website?
amazon delivers in all mexico, and we do have amazon prime, but you will probably find different movies and tv shows

Welcome to LA County, as we call it.
😂🤣😂
YOU DIDNT MENTION THE PRICES, I IMAGINE IT PROVIDES AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR A LOT OF THE PEOPLE.
Which people?
It’s considered upper class for the Mexicans :/

Thanks guys! Question..I’ve seen y’all talk about malls, grocery stores but..is there any libraries in Mexico? We are book lovers 🤷🏽♀️
Haha of course! There’s a great English library down in Centro - we did a video with them a while back, but they’re called MEL if you want to google them (Merida English Library)!
@@TravelWTravis thanks! I’ll search for the video. I musta missed it.
@@cynthialopez9950 No worries - it was this one: th-cam.com/video/ALEnb9DHD7I/w-d-xo.html
just a little bit of clarification, it's TEMOZÓN not TEMEZON, I know you guys do not use accents but in spanish are important..
Ah thank you so much! We fixed it! 🤦♂️

Not you guys, the neighborhood!!
😆😂😆
Sometimes, a house is just a house. Like a car, mostly what matters is how it feels from within, rather than projecting to the outside world.
Lower the music please. I have to use earphones. I love your videos, and still love Queretaro. Merida is too hot and humid. Silence music, when you are talking.
I have La Comer deliver my groceries etc. I have been coming to Acapulco for over 60 years, and earthquakes is my I did not retire in Acapulco, but she is my love I am loving Queretaro now, and the people are slso nice. I do speak Spanish as a second language.
