- Thinking about moving to Mexico? Maybe you now work remote and are considering an extended stay in Mexico? What does it look like when two Americans (and their dog) move to Mexico? After 1 year living in an RV in USA, Tim and Fin head south of the border to live in Mexico (Fin's dream!)

ABOUT US:
We’re traveling full time, living on our own terms and showing you the up-close-and-personal details of us figuring it out along the way. Sometimes it’s about navigating big, life-altering decisions. Sometimes it’s about navigating the seemingly lawless free-for-all that is driving in Hanoi. It’s moments of triumph and moments of panic. The good, the bad, the ugly - and most importantly, the real and real funny.
We’re not here to tell you “how it’s done.” Just how we’ve done it. And that whatever it is that’s calling you - the way you’ll do it is much more attainable than it may seem. We believe the world’s a more interesting place when people reject convention in favor of what they actually care about. This is us putting that idea to the test - one budget spreadsheet, RV renovation and mountain-peak drone video at a time.

when you get to step in Mexico you just feel the freedom... here in the states we have regulated ourselves to slavery ITS ALL ABOUT WHO OWNS THE NEWEST FLASHY CAR AND THE BIGGEST HOUSE ETC... IM GETTING READY TO DO MEXICO 100% LIVE IN MORE FREEDOM!
You would be surprised just how many people from other countries Live there Now
I love your mexico city tour with leila.. mexico is truly the artist country. God bless you both.
Łooks so pretty
I feel free in the US coming from Europe, can only imagine Mexico 😂
So true!
México is a world by itself. I glad you guys love our country
With all the changes in Mexican Immigration, now mexico will be ruined forever. they will ruin it for everyone as the money requirements keep going higher and higher, who has 25 thousand in the bank? Or can bring 4300 a month to mexico ? I have relatives in Sonora, now I wont be able to see them ? Why are they doing this, to maybe somehow ROB the Foreign people who come to Vacation or Retire there ? Now you have to hire a Mexican specialist to get you through all the paperwork, and that costs $200.00, that is the same price I had to pay a guy from Immigrations to get me a Residency card with out going through all of the Bull shit. What the fuck is going on ?
I LOVE MEXICO!!! .....SO MANY BEAUTIFUL PLACES IN JUST ONE COUNTRY
Vvwr
That's why the world call Mexico 🇲🇽 lindo y el mas querido❤
@@ricardovargas5362 como México, no hay dos 🤗🤗🙏🙏
This is by far the longest video I've ever watched on TH-cam, and I can tell you I wasn't bored for one second. Great job guys!
Wow! Didn’t realize how long this video is until I read this comment.....this just as long as the titanic movie, better be good.......will watch this later,got to good to work.
Completely agree 💯
Thanks to the girl, she's a great character, not really sure about the guy.
Such a beautiful film, great presentation about the story in Mexico city, it is very interesting. So nice views from there, Thanks for sharing dear. All the best ♥
I live in Mexico City and have been to Sayulita! I'm from Louisiana and love Mexico!!! San Pancho is really nice too.... Zipolite and Mazunte... Anywho, I am very surprised I watched the whole video.. great job keeping my attention... keep up the great vlog! Salud!
I love Mexico and the beautiful people! My favorite place is Puerto Vallarta it is absolutely beautiful the people the scenery the bath water warm ocean! I love it and hope to make it a home as some point.
😍
Bienvenida, best wishes.
Hope as a white person you are welcoming Hispanics in USA 🇺🇸 as well. They treat us Hispanics like shit here!!
Critic 101 I hope so since so many are part of my family ❤️
Michelle Homan Sooner than later I hope 👎😎
I go three three times a year and love gentle/humble mexican people
Are gentle and welcoming to Hispanics in your country too? Hope so!
@@cw8317 Those that come here are breaking laws and many are involved in criminal activities so you thunk! Those who seek employment and live quiet productive lies are left alone to do their thing of whom many I know personally, one being my lawncare person and I pay him good cash.
@CW, you're an idiot. You probably don't have a passport.

I’am Mexican and you speak Spanish better then I do ! Bravo to you. 👏👏👏👏👏🇲🇽
OH MY GOD!!! You gave me Goosebumps with Mexico City!!!
The grad student wasn't scammy. Mexicans are really proud of their history and he just wanted to show it off for you. A friend of mine had a similar experience.
Hello, Tim and Fin... Mexican here...
Really liked your video. I was initially put off by the length, but it´s quality stuff. Thanks for painting a positive picture of Mexico.
Typically our vids are around 10-15 minutes. We then compile an entire area and create a longer video from the shorter episodes.
Holy moly, I didn't realize. Haha
Just speed up the playback to 1.5.🙄
@@Mmmmkaaay I wouldn’t. Even the two or three second cuts are precious to me. These, for example, give geographical references to where they are at like Sayulita. These help me follow where they are even though they don’t say it. ❤
I've never seen one of your videos before, but I like you already: great looking couple, didn't give your dog away because you wanted to travel the world, and ignored people's rude comments about places being 'dangerous'.
Your segment on Mexico City is outrageous. Over the top well done. Love the scenery and music. You should send this to the Tourist Bureau. That good.
QUE HERMOSO ES MEXICO!!!! La Cd. deMexico, lo mas encantador de todo el mundo. Felicidaes por estar ahi!!!

Jajaja jajaja está horrible sucia llena de ambulantes y mucho chiriwillo qué hacen qué ésa ciudad se vea fea
I just started watching this, I’m only in about 48 minutes and just have to say, you guys are the cutest and seem a fun loving couple.
Being a widow for over 17 years now, I admire your attitude for adventure.
I cannot wait to view your others adventures.
God Bless you and your adventures. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
What??? I have to teach my dog Spanish commands to take him to Mexico??? Are you serious?? Really!??
Need to get a “getaway”…partner ? I’m available….
Life is about exploring your horizons and having fun!
Well u are an American and ha be plenty jobs in th US !!!of course u can trouble the worlf...
*I subscribed because both of them are nice. Another reason is that she speaks Spanish without an accent.*
Your videos are awesome! I am an American who speaks Spanish and I now have much more of a desire to do what you both do, and travel in Mexico for a bit
Adam I would like to make a correction is not spanish is castellano "castilian"
@@luisv7117 Hace mucho tiempo que español y castellano son sinónimos cuando se refieren al idioma. Puede comprobarse consultando cualquier diccionario o enciclopedia. Y el término "español" es mucho más común que "castellano".
Adam you are European American !!!
Transparent authenticity makes your channel exceptionally relatable. I really wished there were more vloggers that did the same, because without the human and community cultural aspects it portrays as a glossy postcard like experience which is unrealistic. I'm excited to have this reference for my 1st Mexico journey!

You deserve way over 100k subscribers! you do an excellent job of videoing your adventures. I just retired in Nov and to see what you have done in just these few months that you are covering here makes me envious. And I love mexico so this with super super helpful in showing me whats out there not the fake news we have here in the US. Cant wait for more reports
and I am from a subburb of milwaukee so our crime rate is right up there with chicago.
Congratulations on your retirement Chris! And I love you last name- my maiden name is Finney which is where “Fin” came from ☺️
@@timandfin could be finlander (Laplander)? just wondering
saludos chris.
They don't deserve! Exploiting u-tube viewer's because we are paying for your holiday by watching this.
Thank you! I have driven to central Mexico many times. Americans, MEXICO IS NOT A WAR ZONE. It is awesome!
The best part of the entire video is Tim's hand on your shoulder while he walked to his chiropractic appointment and you walking along his side with a smile.
Rest assured that wasn't acting- that was a real low point in my life. I was wrecked. I should have been taking taxis but part of the recovery is just staying active, moving around, etc. Gotta grind through it.
I love Mex City.It is on my bucket list to see Freida's house and Museum of Anthropology.- plus the Palicio with the Rivera murals , street food in the markets.Only down sides are insane pollution and congested traffic for long term living.Jelly though!
the air quality you see on google is taken from the airport. if you live in polanco, roma, condesa it's fine. there are like a million trees per person in those neighborhoods. unfortunately this is not true for large parts of the city as a whole tho
WELCOME TO MEXICO !!!! I LOVE THIS KIND OF TOURISTS WANDERING IN TO MY PRETTY COUNTRY.
I don't think it's pretty. It's full of trash and ugly houses. No offense
I wish to visit one day(maybe stay). Love the people. Have Mexican friends in Iowa. The kids are so nice. Also love hot food and tan well! And yes the tropics are so beautiful. I have been to Honduras and Guatemala two weeks each in USAR and noticed many cool things like people respecting each other and family togetherness. Also funny the people knew more about USA then we did, lol.
Ricky Ticky 😂 at least we accept it but you guys? You guys don’t accept racism or xenophobia 😂
@@rickyticky3350 usa have agly citys to and lazy welfer people here in mexico Every baty Work
You guys are allot of fun and you took me on a vacation with this video, God bless you
I cant believe i watched this 2 hour video and let me tell you i dont regret it thanks for showing how beautiful My México is new subscriber here!
Mexico lindo y querido amigos💪
The kids asking for homework help are real. They're usually kids who are studying English and need to practice with native speakers, and yes, they could get annoying even though that's not their intentions.
Can you point the camera more at the locations? The camera shows you both explaining what you see but I'd prefer to see what you are referring to at more length of time please! Thank you for the videos!
Just so you know, a dogs highest compliment to you is to lick your face. Pepper simply want to say thank you for petting her that way in that spot because it pleased her. You thought it would calm her down and make her sit there LOL but she was excited to say thank you
No Thank You!!! Maybe for you Pigs, but I don't think that's a fucking Compliment, that's a fucking OFFENSE.
Just discovered your channel this morning and am enjoying your travels so much. Thank you for matching the volume on your music with your talking voice (it's not always the case). Love you long vlogs; your choice of what to show us in spot on. Love it all.
Wow! I just discovered your channel today and immediately subscribed! I am NOT afraid to travel. Will be visiting Guadalajara this summer and I am looking forward to experiencing the good vibes in Mexico ! Thank you!!!
funny how im from mexico (monterrey) and never been to guadalajara
It's really great to see the neighborhood in a pueblo and normal Mexican life. I've travelled to Mexico some and it's the normal living aspect I love to experience in other countries. Thanks!
The bathroom is a bummer!!! Cheated You on that One. I Can't Believe How Good Your Spanish is!!! You Speak Spanish lovely.
OMG I wanted to laugh when you mentioned the MICROWAVE!! We are in Argentina as I write this and guess what no MICROWAVE in our Airbnb! This is our 4th Airbnb we’ve been in. Each stay at least a month and in the States you take for granted the little things. I’ve now been officially without a Microwave for 6 weeks. My two kids are learning patience! I would love to travel Mexico!!!
Great job on the video! You're so cute! Im retiring in Puerto vallarta, Wish my late husband and I had moved there Earlier in life, Good for you. I'll be watching you super videos with all the great information thank you
Wow. Beautiful video. I hope you enjoyed Mexico.
TOTALLY enjoyed viewing your four month travels in Mexico!! Very nostalgic for me as my husband and I lived in Mexico for almost 30 years(then along came the kids) and enjoyed revisiting so many places and seeing some new ones!! looking forward to more of your adventures!
Regarding Mexican kids asking for help with their homework; We experienced this twice on our last visit to Oaxaca.
We participated both times. One boy asked my wife to record us (on his camera) as he interviewed me. Both were excited to practice English.
There are scammers in every country but let's not be so scared that we can't be as friendly and helpful as the Mexican Nationals are to us.
Bubby C. Scare about kind in the USA. Not of Mexico!!! Estudents in the USA always took wepons and hurt. To its classmates. Don't. Bring this way of living. Or mentality. With Mexican student's. Kid's in Mexico always want to practice its new language's. They do also with ppl from france. Or Italians. Etc etc. Depends which language. They study. In Mexico always we like to learn other language's. S9 tvis its very common
@@MA-zv8wn - I love Mexico and many Mexican traditions.
The reason so many fear the Mexican people is because we often believe what the news says. The news tells us what they think will make them popular.
I believe that you are doing the same. U.S. students don't always bring guns to school. Most U.S. students attend school to learn and visit their friends, just like you.
I love learning about new places and when I saw your video I was expecting to watch maybe 15 minutes, but I got sucked into all 2 hours! You are such wonderful people and did an incredible representation of such a beautiful country, never realized I would love to go to Mexico as much as I do now! I can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers, this was incredible.
Thank so much Noah, we’re glad you enjoyed the video!
we're heading to mexico to start our full-time travels and you've convinced us to stay in Sayulita for a little while. Loving that cute Airbnb, but you didn't put the link to it. Any chance you still have that?? Thanks so much!
Can’t believe I just watched this 2 hour video. It was pretty nice! Great job
The hair is great. I thought you were gorgeous as a blonde but this is classier! The color is super dynamic
Tim, I have had back surgery. I was feeling for you when I saw you walking to your chiropractor appointment. Unless you’ve had back pain yourself, it’s hard to explain to others how horrible that is. Wishing you a healthy back for your future travels.
I watched the entire video congratulations you doing a tremendous job you gained another subscriber you are great authentic professionals.
Love the intro I often get a similar response about traveling in Brazil (not safe) I love Brazil and can’t wait to return one day!
Enjoyed your video very much! You’re great guides and a sweet couple with a sweet dog. I hope Tim is feeling better!
Beautiful videos! So inspiring! Just booked my flight for July!
Joe jaimes very hot in Sayulita in July. Make sure you grab a room with aircon 👋 ENJOY! 😁
Thank you so much!
@@timandfin why this title ? are you the only AMERICANS ?
Hope not. But when you’re titling videos for SEO you use common search terminology. Take it up with society I guess? Can’t help ya here.
Just came across your channel. Great stuff guys. You both are very personable. Keep it cool.
There was nothing boring about this almost two hour video; better than watching some boring movie!!!
Such perfect words to describe exactly how it truly is.. I hate when people generalize and assume México is such an unsafe place just because of the media. I recently moved from LA to Jalisco and I’ve never felt safer and stress free. Back home everyone is always on edge with mass shootings and the terrorism within. México isn’t free from shootings and all that but you don’t hear it as much, especially mass shootings. All in all, I don’t feel unsafe here and truly get to enjoy life and nature the way it supposed to be enjoyed.
Nice job with video editing. Good mix of music, views, and narration.
I know that TH-cam-music options are limited but it would be nice if local music could be used.
I love mexico, i have only been to Cancun, but i am Defenetly going back
First time seeing your videos, you guys! I am a Mexican (from Sonora) living in Southern California. My fiancé, a local Gringa, loves anything Mexican (like me!) She has traveled to Vallarta, Mexico City, Yucatán..
I'll show her this long video. She'll love it!
You guys deserve to be on Netflix or Hulu!
Mucho gusto, muchachos! Saludos.
Mil gracias! ☺️☺️
Amazing! I love the trip to DF. I went while studying abroad in Guadalajara and did the same tours you did, which is kinda funny, even the blue wall. Unfortunately, it was before Instagram 😄. We stayed at the hotel across from the plaza de gobiernos. I look back and think how fortunate I was to go in that trip. ❤️
Ooooww his video was fantástic, l hope to continúe watching more video from mexico. Greetings from Cuernavaca
I m Mexican.
Don t worry ladies, this guy at Templo Mayor just wanted to share his academic knowledge with two gringas seeming interested in the prehispanic ruins.
According to his voice, accent, gestures, he was a kind of educated nerd shy to approach you in the beginning. As any nerd being rejected, you broke his heart.
2:16:59 I couldn't stop laughing that mean you guys love Mexico hope you be back soon🤣
Thanks for the two hour tour of Mexico it’s as if I went there. LOL. That was great man your transparency is real guys and you do a great job and thank you
Verrrryy nicely done. Your video brought back a lot of great and happy memories... But l still like the quieter area of Puerto Vallarta & Mazatlan better than Guadalajara. Keep traveling & thank you for sharing. Be healthy & stay safe...
it looks so beautiful there and i cant wait till the travel restrictions are off and we can all travel again!!
Stumbled upon this channel randomly. Really enjoyed this video. New sub for sure. Thanks!
I got drawn to your videos from your bike expedition of Vietnam as I too wanted to relive my experience of travelling from the Mekong Delta to Sapa. I've loved watching your videos coz they're edited well but most of all your choice of music is awesome. Keep up the great work!!
Haha, me living in the USA, I can understand why you guys may think the guy in the Templo Mayor was trying to scam you. But there’s a lot of people always trying to share what they know with genuine interest, which is not common in developed countries. But it is always a safer move to say no if you don’t feel comfortable.
This guy gets it! It sucks having to always assume the worst, but when you're a foreigner in a tourist area and someone is being overly friendly, alarms start going off in the back of your head. The amount of people who don't understand that is pretty impressive. It's much easier to understand what is normal when you're in your own country.
TIM and FIN I agree ☝️ and I don’t blame you, as I said, it is always a good move to decline if you don’t feel safe.
I love your videos ,Mexico its so beutiful
I'm a Mexican traveler and nomad too.. Have lived in Chicago for 4 years so inn a few graduate program. Now back to my Hometown Guadalajara.. Your video guys is great and I wanted to Thank you for promoting our rich culture and customs. As you may know, people is always welcome here.. And I there isn't more perfect explanation than the one you just had made at the very beginning.. Unfortunately, people is biased based on what they watch on TV. I can't even count how many times I even felt not safe at Chicago the first months. But later on, I figured out that its just a other city with amazing great places and people. Ameicans up there at Chicago are great. Not all of them welcoming but based on my experience, very nice and great open people no matter where u come from even though all the inmigrant situation going on. Shame on that people who judge on their own criteria. If only they understand. that Traveling is not just fun. It also, opens your mind and world to understand so many things.. To be more sensitive, human, to learn, to give, to grow... I Wish you guys the best on this project, and please keep doing these fantastic videos.. I'm so glad about finding your channel now.. I will travel again soon 😜 and with God helps, starting a project like yours.. Wish me luck 😅. Hopefully we will see each other down the road. As we say in Mexico in a famous proverb.. "Arrieros somos y en el camino andamos" (a little homework) 😉
Thank you for building bridges between nations
🥰🥰🥰
amazing video enjoyed very much and love your take on things there in Mexico and I agree media does not do justice to Countries such as Mexico it looks to be a great country. safe travels and Gods blessings on you both and pepper as well
I did the same thing with my daughter last week in the Zocalo 1:23:06 I am enjoying all your 2 hour and 17 minutes video. I have enjoyed what you have said abour Airbnb´s and Sayulita, Guadalajara and now Mexico City... I love that you can travel with your dog, too. Thank you. You won a new subscriber
Amazing video!! Thank you for sharing it ✈️
I just found your channel! what a great adventure! look forward to seeing more of your videos. Thanks for sharing!
I can't even afford to take my animals to the vet right now and I love them more than anything in life
Watching you guys and this beautiful Mexico has given me life. I feel like I went on vacation with you guys. I'm a new fan love you guys. Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful adventure.
I appreciate your videos you are helping México with viewers. Thank you . I live in Los Angeles and I appreciate it
What an amazing video, full of information and a love for life, which really shines through in your personalities and delivery! Im hooked. Mexico is on the cards for next year...
Wow, that was awesome. Thanks for sharing:-)
You guys are the only ones that actually show the difficult parts of being abroad. All the other channels make everywhere look like it’s wonderful!
I think the way to avoid those random car windshield cleaners from attacking your windshield is , everytime you come to a stop, just run your windshield wiper.
I love your editing! keep it up and keep showing off Mexico!
Your hair looks beautiful. I two just got my hair colored. As for the sciatica, you need to have him soak in Epson Salt with some essential oil and alcohol
and stretch immediately after the soak... PS, get a good massage if you can find a reputable therapist... End by putting some Arnica on the area if you can find it there or tiger balm...
That's Great Advice!!! I have Sciatica and I will take it.
Nice shots and edits!
I got my credit card skimmed on one of those street ATM machines....a couple years ago.
There is a Romanian mafia gang that do that in the Cancun area. The police is investigating this nowadays.
Omg those houses are gorgeous
You seem so happy and are always smiling 😊! First video I've watched but will be watching more.
I don’t think I have ever added a comment on any video until now. This was a remarkable movie and I’m glad it’s 2hrs long because I never wanted this incredible experience to end. Bien hecho!
I am still stuck watching your 2 hour plus video. I feel like I am getting to know Mexico through your adventures. Your filming is on point.
I'm sure there'll be plenty of people that would also jump at the opportunity to live your lifestyle! Sometimes you have to take risks in life to enjoy yourself and escape the "norm" 😁
I like your videos a lot!
Thank you for sharing this information.
I so enjoyed this! Thank you! ❤️❤️
Love watching you guys since I stumbled across you a few weeks ago. Not going to lie though. The best part of this was the pervy chicken looking in your bedroom window at the end. Serious LOLZ!
John R 😂 our too.
BLESSINGS ALL THE WAY FROM MONTERREY MÉXICO!!! :)
Thanks for the eye opener
Loved the video.
Please visit other parts of Mexico such as the Sierra Tarahumara. Great video and very good pronunciation in Spanish. Congratulations.
I hope you have water for pepper when you are walking around...also, when you are telling her to lay down in the car. She was trying to get out of the hot sun but b/c she is such a good girl when you told her to lay down, she did, in the only spot available to her- in the sun she was trying to get out of 😬. I know you love your dog but dogs are faithful and a lot is expected of her - that backpack👎🏻 definitely not good for her joints. I love my dogs and would never consider putting them in something so unergonomic for their bodies
Awesome vid
Great filming
And it’s like traveling with friends with you guys
Learned so much on this video . Didn’t know about electronic limit.
What a beautiful setting.
I’m jealous of your travels and envious of your courageous nerve to get up and go.
