Can I connect with them ? Please ask them. My wife and I are considering moving to Mexico. We've been to Mexico 3 times. And we visit a lot. My name is DeAndre Armour. We Love their story
Wonderful advice and having immigrated here 18 months ago, exactly on point. If you’re really serious about being in a community, contributing, making connections, learning and growing, you will do well. Being entitled, demanding or wanting things to be like the place you left - not going to happen!
Good information. I moved to Puebla, Mexico eight months ago and I think it is the best decision I have ever made. I came with just my dog and limited Spanish. I now have many friends and learning the language more and more every day. I look forward to more of your videos.
Hola Tina, I'm a retired American living here in Cuernavaca Morelos Mexico for many years and thinking of visiting Puebla. What area of Puebla are you living and how do you like it? Can we talk?
Mexico Relocation Guide and Mariana are simply the best resource for anyone who seeks information about becoming an expat in Mexico! While there are many TH-camrs who make videos geared towards the same target audience, the majority of the people who make those videos seem to be more concerned with putting their faces in front of the camera than providing information. MRG and Mariana are not at all like those other channels. Their videos focus on the people they are interviewing and providing information from beginning to end! It’s great how the people who are being interviewed are not interrupted with questions and comments when they speak and how the interviewer does not feel the need to compete for camera time! As always, great job MRG! ❤️
Nice. It's tough when there's an undercurrent of resentment. Like everyone else in this world we rude, outspoken Americans are products of our programming. But we can be taught, and for all of us in this plane of existence, love makes the lessons go down easier. So, thank you very much.
I'm claiming this now, I will be a future resident of San Miguel or Mexico city. Great interview. When he said its not free to get here, you will lose something (closeness to family, convince of transportation, etc). Great word of advice on putting in the effort. Appreciate them sharing how useful the Mexico Relocation Guide has been.
Yes, I agree, been here almost two years. You do give things up. It is not wherever you came from, brand new game (unless this is where you came from of course).
Such a great, informative, fun couple talking about their genuine experiences going through a huge life change! I've loved México over the 35 years I've sporadically traveled around. I'm considering moving and have not yet fully decided. I do understand much of the various cultures from my travels and speak enough Spanish to travel alone. Yes, many things in México are super different. It takes dropping our US-centric sense of how things should happen and opening up to understand the values and world view that inform people in México. A friend who traveled with me on two trips complained about things not happening "on-time" or some things were "not possible", etc. I finally realized that she was used to cultural values in Europe and then in the US. I kept saying to her, "Maybe yes, maybe no." ¿Es cierto? ¿Quién sabe? For her the lack of knowing what was possible and her acute discomfort took her off my list of travel companions!
As a native Guanajuatense, specifically from Dolores Hidalgo, I imagine at this point you guys already know that our cities are neighbors. I want to let you know how much I appreciate all your comments about your experience relocating to our neck of the woods 😉. My appreciation specifically is based on how beautiful and truthful you talked regarding us locals. “YOU GET US”and that it’s so refreshing to hear. Thank you so much for your respectful and kind words. 🤔…You would be the perfect people to write a book or whatever media you choose for something along the lines of “ relocation to México for dummies “😀 or how not to be an annoying visitor 😄. Thank you again and best of luck in all your endeavors.
You two have such good advice and heartfelt philosophies. Really enjoyed hearing what you have to say about life in Mexico 🇲🇽 ¡Bravisimo! Muchas gracias.
I have been living in San Miguel de Allende for 5 years. The city is now unrecognizable. Why? The majority of Americans refuse to integrate, to learn Spanish, continue to pay US$, to use the British system, re temperature and measurements… They want to make SMA an enclave of the USA. How do people who want to relocate want to keep the environment they knew? I’m leaving in July, my next residence, Guadalajara.
You two are absolutely adorable. I hope we bump into each other sometime. I've lived in SMA for 24 years, and EVERYTHING you say, with great finesse and wisdom, is true for Americans taking the leap into Mexico. If you stay here long enough, you become "culturized", better assimilated, and the lifestyle shock wears off. Life flows much easier. You become more Mexican, if you will, and there are so many spiritually beneficial payoffs for doing so. Mexico is a happy place indeed! -Very important to learn, and be bold & brave, about speaking Spanish as much as possible. Big payoffs for diving in, and the locals are grateful and helpful for your efforts! At the moment, the WORST things about SMA-2024: effects of global warming, worrisome drought, and skyrocketing inflation. That said, if you're already living here and committed to it, soak up the magic that is San Miguel de Allende, MX - built atop a stone bedrock of crystal. Watch for synchronicities... They happen all the time! xo
A delightful couple - very upbeat and positive! I enjoyed the video a lot! My husband, our happy Golden Retriever, and I moved from Dallas, Texas, to Querétaro two and a half years ago … we’re very happy here. We live in Juriquilla and are only 45-50 minutes away from San Miguel. Once or twice a month we drive to San Miguel to have breakfast or a late lunch. Life is good. Greetings from Joseph Quillian, Jorge Gutiérrez, and our dog Buddy. :-) ❤
I absolutely loved you're interview , you all kept it real which I truly appreciate. I just moved to Mexico and I will keep your advice in mind. Thanks for your honesty. Great Job!!!
What a lovely couple and an informative message. My wife and I recently acquired a home in San Miguel de Allende. We are both in our 30's. Our love for the city was instant upon our first visit 3 years ago. I knew then that it was a place I wanted to spend more time. We still live in the USA full time but the plan is to vacation and someday retire in SMA. The people are so warm and friendly. The culture is so alive and enjoyable. I recently played clay court tennis for the first time which was something I had wanted to try for many years. Next is Padel. Thank you for the video. Adios!
Ya'll are so personable! Thank you for sharing your honest review of the culture, medical, housing etc. I'd love to hear about the churches, and how they might differ from US. I hope He continues to bless you in your new home and country!

Shout out from a fellow DMV native (Mer-lin in the house!) and someone who has family in NC (Fayetteville). This was a great interview. Maybe I missed it in the interview, but how did you guys decide on San Miguel and your relocation destination?
I absolutely love her laugh. It is so contagious. I totally agree if you moved to another country address to their way of life learned their language and their customs. I am trying to learn Spanish now and I can hardly wait until I move to Mexico. 😊❤
After having recently visited SMA on a scouting trip, this interview is by far the most accurate and genuine I’ve heard thus far. The ppl of SMA warm up to u OVER TIME and reciprocate the energy u put out. Don’t expect folks to be welcoming u with open arms at the onset. They are not rude or cold, but they just mind their business. Knowing spanish is crucial, English is not widely spoken like ppl say. And I wondered myself what makes SMA so popular with seniors given how challenging the terrain is with all the cobblestone 😵💫😆
We're moving to a neighborhood without cobblestones but are stocking up on thick-soled shoes for Centro! Note: there are many shoe shops but not as many large sizes available for women as in the U.S.
I look at Mexico like I look at New York City...It will either make you or break you and sometimes it will do both!!! you have to be ready for the curb balls...there will always be something that will arise...you just have to adjust yourself to a new culture and don't think that you're better...don't go to Mexico with your stinky attitude...be humble!!! i had to adjust myself to living in New York..coming from the Midwest was a whole different way of living but what helped me was the fact that I visited New York a lot and the fact that my father lived here helped me a lot...I agree with what you are saying...I will take your advice ...I will use the Relocation guide when visiting or if I choose to live there...This was a great interview!!!
hard to imagine eating out is maximum $300USD per month. I have heard 3 times that as meals are very expensive like $30 USD per meal without alcohol. Are you sure this is really what you pay?? We have been misled by so many people about restaurant meals on this channel. Very disappointing when we actually move and find out everything is double and I'm not talking about touristy areas or beach areas! 😔
it truly depends where you eat out and how often. if they hardly eat out then it seems accurate. for example 1x week would be about $300/month if you’re going to a mid class restaurant
I have one kislux bag I got in 2019, it's the LV white catogram speedy. It's counter quality and it has a nice honey patina now, so the leather is real. I think whatever makes you happy go for it. I've seen LV with plastic leather and blood red glaze...
@@veganista5096 there is crime all over the world. Do you sell or buy drugs? Unless you do, you will never find trouble in any part of Mexico. Read instead of watching tv news.
@@veganista5096 oh but I do know. I have been in all these places, have friends or family in Morelia and Guanajuato and they have never experienced any crime or dangerous situation. As I said, if you are not involved in illegal stuff, any place in Mexico is safe.
@@mikehornick4971 as I said, even in those cities, violence is reduced to some spots where drug traffic (buying or selling) is clearly a regular activity. If you are involved in those activities there is a high chance that a "missing bullet" can reach you. Other than that, you are safe (probably in more than some spots in LA, Philadelphia, Atlanta, etc)
It can be. But that’s if you only shop at the trendy grocery store, only rent a house in a trendy neighborhood, only eat at high end places. If you can be flexible and open to shopping, renting and eating like most locals it’s the same price as a lot of Mexican cities and way cheaper than most cities in North America that are similar in size and demographics
Not so fun fact- Tell hubby that 57 people are murdered by gunfire every single day in the US. The cartels are not out to get you and they tend to keep things between themselves. There are well known but very random bad pockets where crime is higher around Mexico and they are easy to avoid. In the US you could easily get shot and killed anywhere and everywhere you go, even in the places that are considered safe because everyone has a gun these days and everyone has a bad day every now and then. Heck in the US you could get shot just while driving somewhere! It's not so random down here. BTW I live and feel very safe about 100 miles away from a well known cartel dealing area because I just don't go there. Besides the occasional property theft or pickpocket that is the only crime you should be wary of and again, that's easy to avoid. Buena suerte!
You usually start the process of getting your Residente Temporal Visa in the US by going to a Mexican consulate and proving "economic solvency". Some people qualify for the RNE program and that can be mostly accomplished while in Mexico. You should sign up for Mariana's free website "Mexico Relocation Guide" or purschase her invaluable guide for all the info and help you would ever need on moving to Mexico!! BTW- Don't wait or the time will never seem to be just right! Buena suerte!
I’ve been watching a lot of videos of people moving to Mexico from all over the world, Germany, Korea, the USA, of course and when they ask them one of the reasons why they like Mexico, they always answer the people, so I find it a little bit interesting that they talk about the views and the food and the weather, but they never mentioned the people, I have also noticed they keep a closer circle with other expats and they do not open that circle to the Mexicans around them, no criticism just an observation from a Mexican, who lives here and San Miguel Because I have friends from Italy, Argentina, chile, Canada,Germany, and the USA 🤷♀️ I don’t know you guys can tell me why do they keep separating from Mexicans?
in the past first week after election, the USD exchange rate has increased to over 18.4 again, from it was 17, this is good for US pensioners because USD stretches far again; but as many international reviews saying the MORELA’s many policies would be affecting economy a lot, and the exchange rate is reflecting many foreign investors fleeing, and this past election is also so-called most bloody election…. wonder what are some of your opinions and projections?
It's all relative. We don't pay $1000. :) It definitely can get cheaper, but coming from Charlotte, NC we couldn't get a 3 bdrm house for $1000 in a neighborhood we would feel comfortable living in.
It depends what type of things you are in to. Some people can find it boring if the type of activities you like aren't here. It can get hot but most of the year it's pretty temperate. But all of that is in the eye of the beholder. If you're used to Florida or Southern California heat, you'll have no problem. If you're used to living in the north it may be problematic.

No one should be moving to SMA, especially expats. There has been and is now a critical water shortage. I lived there in the 90's and off and on in the 2000's and 2020. SMA needs to be discouraged!
right lol. I was going to say the same about at least 10 other countries. Things are crazy right now but humans can and will continto move. The issue is greed from corporations and BIG industry like Starbucks for example. Coffee companies utilize the most water of most industries but you get the point. It is beneficial to become avid readers and expand your understanding of how the world operates.
You complain too much. All three of your comments are in the same line of thought. You're failing what they said in the video: you need to be willing to give something up in order to get something out of it.

in the past first week after election, the USD exchange rate has increased to over 18.4 again, from it was 17, this is good for US pensioners because USD stretches far again; but as many international reviews saying the MORELA’s many policies would be affecting economy a lot, and the exchange rate is reflecting many foreign investors fleeing, and this past election is also so-called most bloody election…. wonder what are some of your opinions and projections?
What is the average price for a single house?
They range from 250k-450k usd for a nice 3 bedroom house not far from the downtown area.
Thank you for replying
LOVE SMA❤❤❤
1,000 per month rent is not cheap !!
It's all relative. We don't pay $1000. :) It definitely can get cheaper, but coming from Charlotte, NC we couldn't get a 3 bdrm house for $1000 in a neighborhood we would feel comfortable living in.
But it's gotten so EXPENSIVE in SMDA!
I thought SMA was a cool town to visit but i feel like i would be so bored living there and it’s brutally hot. Maybe i missed something
It depends what type of things you are in to. Some people can find it boring if the type of activities you like aren't here. It can get hot but most of the year it's pretty temperate. But all of that is in the eye of the beholder. If you're used to Florida or Southern California heat, you'll have no problem. If you're used to living in the north it may be problematic.

Does your husband have a single brother?
What?
He use the word immigrants instead of expats!!!
No one should be moving to SMA, especially expats. There has been and is now a critical water shortage. I lived there in the 90's and off and on in the 2000's and 2020.
SMA needs to be discouraged!
The same can be said about Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and many other places all around the world.
right lol. I was going to say the same about at least 10 other countries. Things are crazy right now but humans can and will continto move. The issue is greed from corporations and BIG industry like Starbucks for example. Coffee companies utilize the most water of most industries but you get the point.
It is beneficial to become avid readers and expand your understanding of how the world operates.
Why do people only talk about the good stuff. How about it's more money to live here than most of the world.
sounds like you may have a skewed view of how much most people spend in Mexico vs other parts of the world 😀

You complain too much. All three of your comments are in the same line of thought.
You're failing what they said in the video: you need to be willing to give something up in order to get something out of it.
No, keep it long enough to be informative just like this video.

You can increase the playback speed in settings. It’s very easy.
@@KiKiQuiQuiKiKi True but YT states that the fastest growth channels are 10 minute posts of less. People are busy.
