+Mxborg 23 thank you so much! That really means a ton. Is there anything else you'd like us to do a video on? We want to visit some other areas outside of PV in the next few months
My boyfriend and I LOVE watching your videos. In fact, I'm 98% sure we made up our minds to move to Mexico partly because we watched this one in particular. :) I'd be working remotely just like you, Hillary! If we end up in Puerto Vallarta, it would be awesome to maybe meet up if you guys are interested!
Hey Brittany! That is so cool! I need to save this comment for one of those days that I don't feel like making a video lol. When are y'all planning on making the jump to move abroad? What kind of work do yo do?
I'm Mexican from Queretaro guys! a great safe city close to mex city (obviously you welcome) and think it´s awesome that you feel very comfy in our country, i love yours and admire the american entrepreneur culture in general and stuff, and now thanks to YT i see americans are mostly amazing friendly people. see ya!
Queretāro is spectacular! Super cool entrance. The only thing that bothered me was another couple (stateside friends) came to stay with us in for a week in San Miguel and we took them shopping in Queretaro. We were shoe shopping and our friend Bob (6'4" about 250 lbs) with enormous clown feet found and purchased shoes. I was in those days 97 lbs and am 5'4". yes I have somewhat large feet. That was the day I found out that I had the biggest female feet in Mexico. A bit insulting after clown foot (his feet are like swim fins) found his shoes.
You guys are sooo doing things the right way - travel while you're young, and no kids for a good while. Enjoy each other, as you are. You are definitely on the right track. I thought your food answer that you discovered in Mexico was going to be churros, lol. I could see you living in Mexico City, but not Monterrey. Keep up the great work. Lol, I watch your videos more than your family ;-)
There are wonderful people in Monterrey, but it is noisy and dirty as a whole. Even so, it does have its charms. I've been there quite a few times as well as having lived there with family for about six months. Macro Plaza and Barrio Antiguo en el centro is cool. Cola de Caballo is really pretty. From the top of Parque Chipinque you could see the city of Monterrey covered in a heavy blanket of brown smog. Yukk. Apparently there is not much pollution control. Yes, ;there are 7-11s, Burger Kings, McDonalds, Walmart, Chili's Restaurant, Applebees, Starbucks, IHOP, KFC, Church's Chicken, Carl's, Jr, Pizza Hut, Little Caesars, Super Salads, and many more, and lots of very rude drivers. You're right. It is quite "Americanized." But still, it does have its charms. There is still a lot there that I would like to explore during future trips. I've been to Parque Fundidora. It's a good example of a great re-use of a property. I enjoy visiting Monterrey and really love the huge area of el centro. Quizas nos vemos un dia. ;-)
Buenos Dias, Juan. No, I haven't been to Chihuahua. I did go to a big cave maybe an hour and half from Monterrey, but it was many years ago and I can't remember where. Like our friends, the Kennons, I love to travel and would love to see more of Mexico.
You are absolutely wrong about the fashion in mexico. People in mexico actually care more about fashion than most americans, they always wanna be dressed in trends. As a matter a fact they wore skinny jeans back in the 90's and always had trendy haircuts from europe. They are very aware of the japanese and european trends as they like to dress different. They like to be so different that in school you cant copy other people's "swag" , if you do they make fun of you for not being original or authentic. Regardless i like your videos and I just subbed, I just thought I would let you know how's the fashion culture in mexico.
That's really interesting. Maybe it's just as big here in Vallarta? I could see how CDMX and other big cities being really fashion forward. I got that sense when we went now that I think about it!
Hola chicos! I really Enjoy your videos, I wish you guys great happiness and succes in Your life in PV, gracias por sus videos inspiradores del hermoso país que es mexico
Gringos mexicanos, me encanta que disfruten nuestra comida y hablen tan bien y que también digas las cosas negativas que tenemos dia a dia, enhorabuena!!! saludos
hi from Dallas! have no idea hw I ended watching your videos! but surprise me most the great positive attitude about everything. take care and keep having fun. :)
We really appreciate that Diana! Kind comments like this mean the world to us! What part of Dallas are you from? I (Greg) grew up in denton and after we got married we lived near Skillman and Lovers lane!
+Kinetic Kennons Hi, I'm in frisco. I grew up in north Mexico till my 24yrs. now here. use to have friends in Denton. so happy you guys are been welcome in Mexico.
diana fleur their being forced by Mexico or the drug cartels to make happy go lucky videos to the public. They want you to think Mexico is safe when it's really not. Mexico is forced sex trafficking, forced drug mules, and if you resist torture is next. Tens of thousands are murdered in mexico
I love you guys! You're so open-minded, loving Mexico, humble... Just discovered you and am already your new fan. I'm mexican and enjoy a lot watching you getting to love my country... warm feeling, absolutely 😚
If your still in PV, take a trip up the mountains to San Sebastian. We went up there a few years back, great little old style village, had a fabulous time.
Kinetic Kennons, not sure if thet are still up there, but there was a wonderful family handmaking silver jewelry a few years ago. Great people, great pricing and a great experience watching the silversmith.
Hey guys, great videos! Regarding the tamales, One of the reasons tamales taste different it's because the corn used in Mexico is white and it is not sweet as a the yellow corn found in the US. So, if it's not corn Masa, what you're getting in the United States is more than likely made of Maseca corn flour.
urgh as a guy from the north part of Mexico (the state of Sonora) I freaking hate tamales de elote salados for me Los tamales de elotes son dulces!!!! and it has been like that since the very first one I tasted!! Viva México y arriba el norte!!!!
Thanks guys, all the way from Australia. Your video randomly came up on You Tube the other day....so Google clearly loves you guys too!!! My wife grew up (an Anglo) in Mexico and you have now put some great images with all those stories, the day to day activities many take for granted, but quintessentially wonderful to watch. Thanks for showing examples of the many lively, outdoors-y life she told us about, while she was living and travelling there as a kid. Thanks for your great videos. Dont worry about the heat, over here it gets hot and humid too, and agreed you just embrace it and learn to live outside and catch a breeze under a bit of shade on occasion, when possible. Now a question. I am a newbie here to your videos, but assume water there is "bottled water" only for drinking and please share, what is "THE" unique drink required for all that Summer thirst, when water won't quite do? Mexican - Amalia Hernandez 100th today (Google search bar) Might be a good day to jump in on today's trend with your videos. RD
Hola Rod!! I have never been to Australia! We met with some people from New Zealand the other day, I know that's a different country, but to me they are pretty close lol. As to your question about what to drink, if water isn't cutting it then we usually get these electrolyte drinks called "Electolite". They aren't very sugary and they usually seem to do the trick! Or I just try and put a pinch of salt in my big water bottle to help replace the sodium I am losing. Biggest thing is just drinking plenty throughout the day and not waiting until it's too late lol. If you go to a restaurant they will ask if you want bottled water, it's usually a scam in my opinion. If you get just a glass of water (free), then they pour that water from a huge bottle water thing so it's still filtered, bottled, water. When in doubt, look around at people's tables and see what they are drinking.
I came across this video randomly! My family is from Los Altos de Jalisco! You guys should check it out! I believe it's driving distance from PV. Also, I just graduated with an accounting degree so woot woot for accounting! Awesome videos!
Exactly. It can help you in many ways but it's not something to chance. I have found that the more I chase it the less I have of it and the less I chase the more I get lol
You mentioned in the videos that you plan on exploring other parts of mexico. I am about 10 yrs older than you guys and about 10 yrs ago I traveled throughout mexico. PV is a special place and probably the most magical city in Mexico. But I also really enjoyed CDMX (so much to do but you do experience "keeping up with the jones's ") there and San Miguel Del Allende (amazing weather and so beautiful). I now travel to mexico anytime besides the summer as the summers are too hot for me. I plan on taking my wife to Guadalajara in November.
I just got back from Puebla city in Mexico and it was amazing. It felt safe and there was so much to do. The largest pyramid in the word is located right there in Cholula which i definitely recommend you visit.
Kinetic Kennons, thank you guys, hopefully a lot of people will find out that mexicans love tourist; on a side note, tijuana is 1-2 hours away from Valle de Guadalupe that is know famous for it's world class wines. Please keep exploring.
You two are super cute and I admire seeing Americans promote Mexico, its so positive,,for the globe: just wondered more about the current weather situation there and your costs for rent and so forth. Hope there are great opportunities to support the earth quake victims,and that you can share them at some point ! all the best to you!
Hola MaryJoan! We have been trying to post updates on both our Facebook and twitter pages @kineticKennons We can be a little more responsive to things like that there:) Weather, it is super rainy all of September, but that has lowered the temp so that is great!
Hola Regina! Thanks so much for watching and commenting on several different videos! We really appreciate it! If you want to do PV and CDMX you could always fly to CDMX, do that for a few days, then fly to PV for pretty cheap and relax on your last few days of your vacation!
My dog Gia and I love watching your videos! Fellow Dallasite here who moved here to Mismaloya in May and relate to so many things you portray on your vlogs. Hope to run into you both on the beach or out and about here in PV! Ron
Oh wow! You live in Mismaloya? That's so cool! How do you like it over there? It feels close, yet so far away lol. We need to make it over that way soon!
Come by and visit for an evening sunset...After 9 weeks in Alta Vista I wanted a little more reserve and found it here. In between Mismaloya Playa and Boca De Tomotlan... I think your friends on here would love to see PV from a different yet integral part of Banderas Bay. I have a waterfall from the mountains as well when it rains that goes down 10 stories into the ocean! Where can I send pics? And thanks for responding!
You can send pics to our Facebook at Facebook.com/kinetickennons or via email kinetickennons@gmail.com We have never been to the waterfall in mismaloya! It's just a short hike away isn't?
According to Google Maps there are 2 , more inland and look to be a few miles away, more than a hike, however they look beautiful! Sent you an email with pics as well of my place!
If you go to Poland try the Polish sausage and cabbage with crepes and apple sauce. That is one of my favs having grown up with many Polish friends and a Polish community back in Chicago, it's one of the things I miss here in Cali :)
¡Definitivamente deberías visitar México! Es maravilloso aquí y seguramente encontrarás algunas cosas que te encantan de este lugar. Y, podrías conseguir un buen café de Veracruz :)
Hi Guys me again, I´ve been around México, so based on my experience I can tell you, that all the towns labeled under Pueblo Magico( Magic Town) are so worth visiting, and México has such a rich ciltural heritage that every city that you get to visit, just blows your mind away, and ofcourse, makes you fall in love with thiis amazing country and it´s beautiful people, whom have never disapointed me, so try to go as far as you can, and you´ll understand what I mean, greetings from Saltillo
Oh you´ll be amazed, the culture here is just mind blowing, so yes you landed in the right place, anyways I´ll be happy to give some advice on your concerns, and hopefuly you can visit Saltillo, love to have you over, greetings
I Live in Saltillo, that is in Coahuila, and we have 2 magic towns here, Parras, and 4 cienegas, the first is home to the oldest winery in America, called Casa Madero, related to the revolution Hero Francisco Madero, and yes, they have some of the best wines in the world, the other town is absolutly wonderful since it´s unique in the world, maybe not a good comparison but it´s like kind of the mexican Yellowstone, and ofcourse Dinosaurs, Coahuila is famous for it´s dinosaur findings, I can also recommend, Tepóztlan, Merida, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, San Cristobal, and the list just goes on, so I guess you just need to decide what town you would like to visit.
You have to go to Monterrey the city with the highest Human Development Index in Mexico specially to the San Pedro Garza Garcia part the wealthiest municipality in Latin America is just something u have to see you havent been to Mexico if you havent been in the North, Center and South (Monterrey, CDMX, Chiapas)
Kinetic Kennons it's more expensive the other parts, but if she's making USD$ you guys can afford it , you can get a good size apartment for maybe 400$ a month . Keep in mind it's upscale in that area .
+Beth Kelly you'll survive. But you'll appreciate AC when you go back lol. Your room has AC at our house though. And we just use a small point and shoot camera. A cannon power shot. But we want to upgrade to a DSLR or mirror less.
If you are still in mexico city there is a little place called los tamales de la roma not quite as the traditional ones but they have flavors with all the traditional fravors in our food :)
Hi Guys! I really love your videos. I am From Monterrey, Mexico but currently living in Houston for work. You must put in your list Guadalajara. You will love the city.
What up Houston!! How do you like it there? We are actually trying to find a way to go to Guadalajara in a few weeks.We have heard so many great things about it!
Kinetic Kennons guys pick me up if you go to Guadalajara, Jalisco. I live in San Diego, CA and its been a while since I been to Guadalajara. God bless you guys and take care.
27 now but when I spent 7 months in PV Mexico . I also feel the same way as you . The video is very professional ... You and your Family should be proud . I was showing a friend about Puerto Vallarta Mexico . . I lived there for many months since 2012. I seen everything any other city seen in it's time . I totally agree with everything you said . I hope to meet you at the Sea Monkey .. Bless { RYAN}__________
We (my husband and I) lived in San Miguel for one year in the 90s. Spectacular. We lived several years in D.F. in 70s. In the early 80s we moved to Pie De La Cuesta about 30 minutes outside of Acapulco. Unfortunately it is now a baby Acapulco. But in those days it was paradise untouched and pristine. We lived in a little two bedroom cottage and the waves from the Pacific would pound on the wall each night. By the way our child learned fluent non accented Spanish within four months. I think Mexico is the BEST place to have a kid. The Mexicans loved the little toad (now 52 and father to my grand children) and he was ecstatically happy there. He was NOT happy to return to the states but he barely spoke English by this time and college was only 4 or 5 years away. At least we got to return to San Miguel for one year in the 90s. Strangely I never really liked Vallarta or the other low lying beach towns. But then I come from Fla. Which I dislike. Humidity and mosquitoes. Mildewhead2
+Mildewhead25 Motown25 it sounds like you have lived an adventuous life! We are jealous! Hopefully soon we can go to several of the places that you mentioned. 4 months is pretty fast! But i can definitely see being able.to do that if you just stopped speaking English all together!
there is a lady that sells tamales on the street in 5th of dec neighborhood, and there use to be a woman that sold on basilla but she is way too early for you:) like 630am, she sells out quick
Recently moved from Dallas to Mexico also, the culture shock is getting at me and I’m debating to go back since I have the option yet I don’t want to give up so fast.
I would definitely say that. However, the place we lived in did not have a very good AC system so it costs us too much money to run our AC. If we found a place that had a better AC system I think we would consider it for sure. We love PV, but that humidity is brutal haha
That is why I enjoy your vlogs so much--good honest perspectives! I don't recall the heat bothering me at all---way back in my 20's...but 45 years and 40 lbs later...just don't know. Logic says...as there is a happy and healthy indigenous population...a person would acclimate. Regardless, based much on your vlog and my extensive research from Portugal to Uraguay, I believe I will make a move to Lo de Marcos (for starters) in April or May. Maybe I'll spend all my time lying face up in shallow lapping waves just to stay cool....but, heck---that don't sound so bad!!! A quick note...don't miss the view from the top of the temple at Chichen Itza, the sunset from Isla Mujeres, the zocalo in Oaxaca, or the volcano from Comala!
Hola Mark! You are going to love it! Don't hesitate to email us at KineticKennons@gmail.com if you ever have questions! For this video we used a small Cannon Powershot camera that was less than 150 dollars. The one we use now is a Sony A5100- still not expensive but an upgrade from the Powershot
Kinetic Kennons hi gringo and guera! I'm originally from Guadalajara and all my family and friends are there. I'll be glad to connect you with some of my friends in case you need a guide or anything. Be safe and enjoy GDL. Saudos desde GEORGIA
Plenty, you would be needing 3 days AT LEAST to explore museums, historical sites, the mines, the inquisition site, the moomies, the colonial haciendas, the many incredible places. You would be transported to the XVII century. Guanajuato city not only UNESCO Heritage Site, its by far the most lovely and beautiful city in the Americas.
wow no air conditioner in Puerto Vallarta is a really huge culture shock to me AND IM FROM MEXICO, I live in CD. Obregon Sonora one of the hottest states in the country and well AC is part of our lives we wouldn't live without it, it's in every house small or huge, restaurants, stores, everywhere, heck even the government offers discounts in our electricity for the summer (it ended on October 31st actually t.t) but yeah AC is just part of our every day Life here in the state of Sonora
Do you live in that area you filmed this video in or are you closer to the beach? The forest looks great, but I guess I always associated PV as a beach town...
hi guys my name is Mario and I really like you videos I like the fact that you guys see the different Mexico and the Mexican people what day the President says about us I live in California but I'm originally from the state of one of water on San Miguel Allende and I think I'm not sure maybe you already been there but another good part of Mexico to go visit el estate of Querétaro and juanajuato Guanajuato
I had to review the video to find this one out; we were actually in New Mexico during this video!! lol I was thinking "Yeah, where the heck in PV were we with pine trees" lol. Thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to comment Blostin! It does not go unnoticed!
If you enjoy Motorsports you should check out the WRC rally races that take place in the state of Guanajuato in the first week of March every year. Would make for interesting vlogs
Kinetic Kennons They are Rally cars. Its an international championship and mexico is the only stop on the calendar in north america. www.rallymexico.com/site/en
Hola! Thank you for watching and commenting! We are just on a tourist visa that is good for 6 months and then we hate to reset it. But I work full-time on our website and videos and Hillary works for a CPA firm based out of Dallas that lets her work remotely !
We both just have health insurance from the states. I think it covers a few minor things, but if anything major happens we are out of pocket or flying back to the states.
Almost in all cases you cover all your health issues in México, with the deductible you have to pay in USA, and with good doctors in private hospitals.
Hola güeros Espero que hayan pasado un buen fin de semana festejando el día de los muertos y espero que ya estén listos para ir a la Ciudad de México a conocer más de México ya estaremos mirando sus videos cuando lleguen allá a la Ciudad de México saludos
Random question of the day: What is your favorite board game?
Quoridor

Kinetic Kennons Domino
Monopoly, Axis and Allies, Risk. Also, Dominos, Uno, And just about any card game.
+Mxborg 23 thank you so much! That really means a ton. Is there anything else you'd like us to do a video on? We want to visit some other areas outside of PV in the next few months

Guys , you must visit San Miguel de Allende in Guanajuato,is a beautiful little town in the center of Mexico!

Ooo yea. Go to san miguel de Allende you will love it best little town to live we love it.

René Moncayo I love Tolum, I'm visiting next week Quintana Roo!
Kinetic Kennons Take a peek at Guanajuato, Guanajuato. Pretty amazing city.
I'm Mexican from Queretaro guys! a great safe city close to mex city (obviously you welcome) and think it´s awesome that you feel very comfy in our country, i love yours and admire the american entrepreneur culture in general and stuff, and now thanks to YT i see americans are mostly amazing friendly people. see ya!
Thanks for watching! We hope to go to Queretaro next spring!

Lol, I watch your videos more than your family ;-)
haha how could we forget about Churros!? Those might be the real answer!
actually Monterrey is the closest to the american way of life in Mexico
There are wonderful people in Monterrey, but it is noisy and dirty as a whole. Even so, it does have its charms. I've been there quite a few times as well as having lived there with family for about six months. Macro Plaza and Barrio Antiguo en el centro is cool. Cola de Caballo is really pretty.

Betty A How about Chihuahua you never try go over there like going to cascada de basaseachi, barranca del cobre, sierra tarahumara and much more
Buenos Dias, Juan. No, I haven't been to Chihuahua. I did go to a big cave maybe an hour and half from Monterrey, but it was many years ago and I can't remember where. Like our friends, the Kennons, I love to travel and would love to see more of Mexico.
i enjoy genuine people! thnx guys

Scarkan Volkhanir you’re absolutely right about that
Mexico fashion moves on quickly as well. Its always trending there.
Damm it felt like I got called out 😂😂😂
Well the whole DIY of the late 2010's became WAY more apparent in mexico
Hola chicos! I really Enjoy your videos, I wish you guys great happiness and succes in Your life in PV, gracias por sus videos inspiradores del hermoso país que es mexico
Gringos mexicanos, me encanta que disfruten nuestra comida y hablen tan bien y que también digas las cosas negativas que tenemos dia a dia, enhorabuena!!! saludos
Seem like a lovely couple. I agree. Mexican grandmas make the best authentic Mexican dishes. I'm glad they're enjoying Mexico. =]
Grandmas cook the best no matter what! I miss my grandma and her food lol

Stay blessed, Kennons! Love your humility! BTW, is that Mexico/PV behind you??
Thank you so much! We are actually in New Mexico this week! We will be back in PV on Monday though:)
If your still in PV, take a trip up the mountains to San Sebastian. We went up there a few years back, great little old style village, had a fabulous time.
we might try and do that in a week or so!!
Kinetic Kennons, not sure if thet are still up there, but there was a wonderful family handmaking silver jewelry a few years ago. Great people, great pricing and a great experience watching the silversmith.
I don't why I started seeing your videos, and is so so so nive to see a pair of gringos speak so greatly about Mexico, thanks.
Nice videos. I´ve been watching many of them. You really come to dig in Mexico culture. :)

Thanks guys, all the way from Australia. Your video randomly came up on You Tube the other day....so Google clearly loves you guys too!!! My wife grew up (an Anglo) in Mexico and you have now put some great images with all those stories, the day to day activities many take for granted, but quintessentially wonderful to watch.

I came across this video randomly! My family is from Los Altos de Jalisco! You guys should check it out! I believe it's driving distance from PV. Also, I just graduated with an accounting degree so woot woot for accounting! Awesome videos!
Hola Ivan! Thank you for watching and commenting! We haven't heard of Los Altos-will have to look it up! And woo hoo for numbers nerds :) haha
That's awesome! We are probably cousins lol! You should go check out Los Altos. Especially Jalos in February for Carnaval.
Jalisco
also another place near to PV that you should visit
Corazon de Los Altos
True Money helps no matter where you live but it doesn't buy happiness
Exactly. It can help you in many ways but it's not something to chance. I have found that the more I chase it the less I have of it and the less I chase the more I get lol
Celina Soroa money may not but happiness, but it does buy a jet ski and an ATV, and I have never seen an unhappy person on a jet ski or ATV.
Celina Soroa it does buy anything , including *HAPPINESS*
R Nun Money doesn't buy happiness, but it can help you be happier.
Money does buy happiness, buying something you like makes you feel good , getting a paycheck feels good , wasting money on traveling is happy etc
Love your videos! Thank you for your vlog. I'm a recent subscriber from California native Mexican.
You mentioned in the videos that you plan on exploring other parts of mexico. I am about 10 yrs older than you guys and about 10 yrs ago I traveled throughout mexico. PV is a special place and probably the most magical city in Mexico. But I also really enjoyed CDMX (so much to do but you do experience "keeping up with the jones's ") there and San Miguel Del Allende (amazing weather and so beautiful). I now travel to mexico anytime besides the summer as the summers are too hot for me. I plan on taking my wife to Guadalajara in November.
We really want to travel to San Miguel de Allende! Our friends are actually moving there in a month!
I just got back from Puebla city in Mexico and it was amazing. It felt safe and there was so much to do. The largest pyramid in the word is located right there in Cholula which i definitely recommend you visit.
That sounds awesome! We haven't seen any of the pyramids in Mexico yet. We still have a ton to see!
Try visiting Oaxaca. It will be really interesting because it has beaches but also small picturesque towns of different indigenous groups.
We hope to go to Oaxaca next spring! Fingers crossed because it looks amazing!
Hey guys, just discovered the videos, thank you for your work. If you ever travel to tijuana i will treat you to the local delicious food.
Hola! Thank you so much-that is so nice! Thanks for watching and commenting and becoming a part of our community here :)
Kinetic Kennons, thank you guys, hopefully a lot of people will find out that mexicans love tourist; on a side note, tijuana is 1-2 hours away from Valle de Guadalupe that is know famous for it's world class wines. Please keep exploring.
Thank you for answering the questions 😊👍
+Luis Las Primadonnas anytime! You always ask good ones.
You two are super cute and I admire seeing Americans promote Mexico, its so positive,,for the globe: just wondered more about the current weather situation there and your costs for rent and so forth. Hope there are great opportunities to support the earth quake victims,and that you can share them at some point ! all the best to you!
Hola MaryJoan! We have been trying to post updates on both our Facebook and twitter pages @kineticKennons We can be a little more responsive to things like that there:) Weather, it is super rainy all of September, but that has lowered the temp so that is great!
New subbie! Enjoyed watching several of your videos. Love the taco video. They all looked yummy! Hope to visit PV some day.
Hola Regina! Thanks so much for watching and commenting on several different videos! We really appreciate it! If you want to do PV and CDMX you could always fly to CDMX, do that for a few days, then fly to PV for pretty cheap and relax on your last few days of your vacation!
Tomales - My girlfriend lived her life in PV and she go to El pitillal to Yuya's restaurant , best mexican food ever!
I will have to check out that place! We just went to Pitillal a week or so ago!
I can tell you two love yourselves.
hopefully you do not mean that in a bad way lol We love each other very much but we try and stay humble when it comes to loving yourselves:)
My dog Gia and I love watching your videos! Fellow Dallasite here who moved here to Mismaloya in May and relate to so many things you portray on your vlogs. Hope to run into you both on the beach or out and about here in PV! Ron
Oh wow! You live in Mismaloya? That's so cool! How do you like it over there? It feels close, yet so far away lol. We need to make it over that way soon!
Come by and visit for an evening sunset...After 9 weeks in Alta Vista I wanted a little more reserve and found it here. In between Mismaloya Playa and Boca De Tomotlan... I think your friends on here would love to see PV from a different yet integral part of Banderas Bay. I have a waterfall from the mountains as well when it rains that goes down 10 stories into the ocean! Where can I send pics? And thanks for responding!
You can send pics to our Facebook at Facebook.com/kinetickennons or via email kinetickennons@gmail.com
We have never been to the waterfall in mismaloya! It's just a short hike away isn't?
According to Google Maps there are 2 , more inland and look to be a few miles away, more than a hike, however they look beautiful! Sent you an email with pics as well of my place!
I wish all white people were like you guys! You guys are awesome
haha that's funny! There are plenty of other good gringos out there. Unfortunately they just show all the Nazi's on the news lol
Hell yeah! Cloudcroft is nice. Small but quiet I ride my road bike often there. I live in El Paso Texas and it's nice to go there for a few days.
+Richard Vega that is so cool! Nobody we talk to knows where that is at so it is cool you have been there. I had a blast going for runs there!
i have been to some of these places and i agree with you. What beautiful place. riviera Nayarit is awesome. Jalisco. all of it. i cant wait to go back
Guys you have to go to CHIAPAS!! everything is beautiful and magic there!! I can't wait to come back there...
If you go to Poland try the Polish sausage and cabbage with crepes and apple sauce. That is one of my favs having grown up with many Polish friends and a Polish community back in Chicago, it's one of the things I miss here in Cali :)
That's so cool! I will have to tell my brother in law that! They want to start a vlog too. I will let you know if they do!
Ay Dios ustedes me están haciendo querer ir a Mexico! Mi esposo es de Actopan Veracruz y todavía no he visitado su país!
¡Definitivamente deberías visitar México! Es maravilloso aquí y seguramente encontrarás algunas cosas que te encantan de este lugar. Y, podrías conseguir un buen café de Veracruz :)
Thx for sharing 👍
I'm from San Sebastian, please make a video of the town, lots of history and beautiful place!!
Very good tamales in Mexico City are located in colonia Guerrero in front of famous restaurant called “Machetes” (really big quesadillas).
Hi Guys me again, I´ve been around México, so based on my experience I can tell you, that all the towns labeled under Pueblo Magico( Magic Town) are so worth visiting, and México has such a rich ciltural heritage that every city that you get to visit, just blows your mind away, and ofcourse, makes you fall in love with thiis amazing country and it´s beautiful people, whom have never disapointed me, so try to go as far as you can, and you´ll understand what I mean, greetings from Saltillo
We have heard so much about the Pueblo Magicos around Mexico-we think it would be really amazing if we were able to see all of them. :)
Oh you´ll be amazed, the culture here is just mind blowing, so yes you landed in the right place, anyways I´ll be happy to give some advice on your concerns, and hopefuly you can visit Saltillo, love to have you over, greetings
I Live in Saltillo, that is in Coahuila, and we have 2 magic towns here, Parras, and 4 cienegas, the first is home to the oldest winery in America, called Casa Madero, related to the revolution Hero Francisco Madero, and yes, they have some of the best wines in the world, the other town is absolutly wonderful since it´s unique in the world, maybe not a good comparison but it´s like kind of the mexican Yellowstone, and ofcourse Dinosaurs, Coahuila is famous for it´s dinosaur findings, I can also recommend, Tepóztlan, Merida, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, San Cristobal, and the list just goes on, so I guess you just need to decide what town you would like to visit.
Have you been to any Mexican music concerts in Mexico?
No we haven't yet! Besides just listening to musicians on the malecon!
What kind of music are you Into? I can suggest good bands and artists.
You have to go to Monterrey the city with the highest Human Development Index in Mexico specially to the San Pedro Garza Garcia part the wealthiest municipality in Latin America is just something u have to see you havent been to Mexico if you havent been in the North, Center and South (Monterrey, CDMX, Chiapas)
That sounds really interesting! I will do some research on the best ways to get there, what to do, etc!
Try Roma Del Norte in Mexico it's like a Eupaon neighborhood
I have heard great things about that neighborhood. Is the cost of living pretty similar to the rest of the city?
Doreyde Vázquez Roma norte, condesa and polanco are the best neighborhood in mexico city
Kinetic Kennons it's more expensive the other parts, but if she's making USD$ you guys can afford it , you can get a good size apartment for maybe 400$ a month . Keep in mind it's upscale in that area .
expensive for who? for a mexican, it can be. for a usa citizen no
Question 1: Will I SURVIVE the aforementioned heat when I visit?
Question 2: What kind of camera are you using?
+Beth Kelly you'll survive. But you'll appreciate AC when you go back lol. Your room has AC at our house though. And we just use a small point and shoot camera. A cannon power shot. But we want to upgrade to a DSLR or mirror less.
If you are still in mexico city there is a little place called los tamales de la roma not quite as the traditional ones but they have flavors with all the traditional fravors in our food :)
What a great intro! I clicked like immediately 😊👍
what part are you in inthat video ?? loove your videos! i'm mexican and ive never been to mexico so it's like i'm see it through you thank you!
Gracias por ver Roberto! It means a lot to us!!
As a turist in Poland recently, definitely try the piw-paw bar, if you're into really good tap beer(or bottle)
We have family in Poland right now!!
Thanks for the Videos well done enjoy Tamales in Vallarta and taste the Burritas de Fish Marlin at Tacon de Marlin is a Must !!
Thanks Jr! Some fish tacos sound really good right about now.
Puerta Vallarta is safe and the people are awesome.
nice videos you guys are awesome
beer is the cure for heat!!!!!
Haha for everything!
You guys need to visit San Miguel de Allende and Queretaro, gorgeous. Also Morelia, Guanajuato, Valle de Bravo, all beautiful places to visit.
Hi Guys! I really love your videos. I am From Monterrey, Mexico but currently living in Houston for work. You must put in your list Guadalajara. You will love the city.
What up Houston!! How do you like it there? We are actually trying to find a way to go to Guadalajara in a few weeks.We have heard so many great things about it!
Kinetic Kennons guys pick me up if you go to Guadalajara, Jalisco. I live in San Diego, CA and its been a while since I been to Guadalajara. God bless you guys and take care.
27 now but when I spent 7 months in PV Mexico . I also feel the same way as you . The video is very professional ... You and your Family should be proud . I was showing a friend about Puerto Vallarta Mexico . . I lived there for many months since 2012. I seen everything any other city seen in it's time . I totally agree with everything you said . I hope to meet you at the Sea Monkey .. Bless { RYAN}__________
Thanks so much! Are you coming back this way? We'd love to meet up with you!
We (my husband and I) lived in San Miguel for one year in the 90s. Spectacular. We lived several years in D.F. in 70s. In the early 80s we moved to Pie De La Cuesta about 30 minutes outside of Acapulco. Unfortunately it is now a baby Acapulco. But in those days it was paradise untouched and pristine. We lived in a little two bedroom cottage and the waves from the Pacific would pound on the wall each night. By the way our child learned fluent non accented Spanish within four months. I think Mexico is the BEST place to have a kid. The Mexicans loved the little toad (now 52 and father to my grand children) and he was ecstatically happy there. He was NOT happy to return to the states but he barely spoke English by this time and college was only 4 or 5 years away. At least we got to return to San Miguel for one year in the 90s. Strangely I never really liked Vallarta or the other low lying beach towns. But then I come from Fla. Which I dislike. Humidity and mosquitoes. Mildewhead2
+Mildewhead25 Motown25 it sounds like you have lived an adventuous life! We are jealous! Hopefully soon we can go to several of the places that you mentioned. 4 months is pretty fast! But i can definitely see being able.to do that if you just stopped speaking English all together!
Great questions Aloha!!! 🌺👏🏼
They took over the vlog!! Thanks for watching and commenting! Let us know if you have any questions:)
there is a lady that sells tamales on the street in 5th of dec neighborhood, and there use to be a woman that sold on basilla but she is way too early for you:) like 630am, she sells out quick
+connie munoz that time is actually right up our alley. We tend to get up pretty early and go to bed at like 8 lol
cool couple mexico its great also usa love dallas and san antonio be safe guys
We live in Dallas, and plan to move permanently to PV this year.
what u said bout the joneses is true and its beautiful, agree, congratulations.
You have to go , Puerto Peñasco ! Beautiful place , north Mex.
I'll check that out! There are so many places we can't wait to go to!
Recently moved from Dallas to Mexico also, the culture shock is getting at me and I’m debating to go back since I have the option yet I don’t want to give up so fast.
I mean there are differences between y’all and me. I actually know Spanish, and I live in the “hood”
Would you say the heat and humidity of Puerto Vallarta would prevent you from considering the area as a permanent home?
I would definitely say that. However, the place we lived in did not have a very good AC system so it costs us too much money to run our AC. If we found a place that had a better AC system I think we would consider it for sure. We love PV, but that humidity is brutal haha
That is why I enjoy your vlogs so much--good honest perspectives!
I don't recall the heat bothering me at all---way back in my 20's...but 45 years and 40 lbs later...just don't know.
Logic says...as there is a happy and healthy indigenous population...a person would acclimate.
Regardless, based much on your vlog and my extensive research from Portugal to Uraguay, I believe I will make a move to Lo de Marcos (for starters) in April or May.
Maybe I'll spend all my time lying face up in shallow lapping waves just to stay cool....but, heck---that don't sound so bad!!!
A quick note...don't miss the view from the top of the temple at Chichen Itza, the sunset from Isla Mujeres, the zocalo in Oaxaca, or the volcano from Comala!
You should try Tamales from Valle de Banderas by the plaza at six pm but they sold out quickly
You need to visit Queretaro & San Miguel de Allende, definetily
+Daniel Ramirez thanks for the ideas! SMDA is on our list!!
Excelente, díganme cuando estén por aquí, saludos
I'm a new Sub, you guys have awesome videos!!!!
+3olemrac thank you so much! Let us know if there is ever anything you want us to film!
Kinetic Kennons agriculture in PV must be interesting to see, fruit tree and veggie fields would be awesome!
That would be cool!
What brand and style of camera do you use for your videos?
Hola Mark! You are going to love it! Don't hesitate to email us at KineticKennons@gmail.com if you ever have questions!
For this video we used a small Cannon Powershot camera that was less than 150 dollars. The one we use now is a Sony A5100- still not expensive but an upgrade from the Powershot
Cool videos.
Hi, love you videos. I'm from jalisco living in the U.S.. have you visit guadalajara yet? Have you try birria?. Saludos.
Thanks so much for watching Alejandro! We are actually going in two weeks and we can't wait!
Kinetic Kennons hi gringo and guera! I'm originally from Guadalajara and all my family and friends are there. I'll be glad to connect you with some of my friends in case you need a guide or anything. Be safe and enjoy GDL. Saudos desde GEORGIA
You should go to Guanajuato City.
I have heard great things about it! What's the best thing to do there?
Plenty, you would be needing 3 days AT LEAST to explore museums, historical sites, the mines, the inquisition site, the moomies, the colonial haciendas, the many incredible places. You would be transported to the XVII century. Guanajuato city not only UNESCO Heritage Site, its by far the most lovely and beautiful city in the Americas.
los cabos baja california is great
Go to festival Cervantino. Reserve hotel several months before.
wow no air conditioner in Puerto Vallarta is a really huge culture shock to me AND IM FROM MEXICO, I live in CD. Obregon Sonora one of the hottest states in the country and well AC is part of our lives we wouldn't live without it, it's in every house small or huge, restaurants, stores, everywhere, heck even the government offers discounts in our electricity for the summer (it ended on October 31st actually t.t) but yeah AC is just part of our every day Life here in the state of Sonora
That's really interesting! I think they have that discount here too but a lot of places just don't have AC. But the beach makes it worth it!
Love the Zapata shirt!! bro!
You guys must must visit Mazatlán, Sinaloa México. The weather is phenomenal and no Humidity!
Do you live in that area you filmed this video in or are you closer to the beach? The forest looks great, but I guess I always associated PV as a beach town...
The city of San Luis Potosí is a must visit!! 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
I can relate to the "three showers a day" statement...
+Arturo Wagner hey at least we are clean lol
hi guys my name is Mario and I really like you videos I like the fact that you guys see the different Mexico and the Mexican people what day the President says about us I live in California but I'm originally from the state of one of water on San Miguel Allende and I think I'm not sure maybe you already been there but another good part of Mexico to go visit el estate of Querétaro and juanajuato Guanajuato
Hola amigo! We have not been there but we hope to visit that part of Mexico in early 2018, we are super excited about it!
best regards from mex city!
Gracias Jose! Hopefully we can make it back that way soon!!
Where in PV are those pine trees?
I had to review the video to find this one out; we were actually in New Mexico during this video!! lol I was thinking "Yeah, where the heck in PV were we with pine trees" lol. Thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to comment Blostin! It does not go unnoticed!
para la próxima deverias visitar Oaxaca hay cultura, playas, gastronomía, zonas arqueológicas, ecoturismo Felicidades por su canal
Realmente queremos visitar Oaxaca pronto! Todo el mundo sigue diciéndonos que tenemos que ir allí! Gracias por ver y comentar :)
Where is that place you're shooting from? I'm mexican and definitely doesn't look like Puerto Vallarta, lots of pine woods and looks very quiet! :)
+Javier Quesada Anaya haha! We shot this on a trip while we were in New Mexico. Good catch!
i see you drove to mexico very cool
If you enjoy Motorsports you should check out the WRC rally races that take place in the state of Guanajuato in the first week of March every year. Would make for interesting vlogs
That would be a lot of fun!! What kind of cars are those?
Kinetic Kennons They are Rally cars. Its an international championship and mexico is the only stop on the calendar in north america.
www.rallymexico.com/site/en
digitalmanolo84 you should check out how many drug cartels are present in Mexico and avoid it all
You guys should try some Corundas from Michoacan, i have a feeling you’re going to love them if you guys like tamales
Fav board game: CLUE!
Visit Valle De Bravo !!! You guy will not regret it I promise !
Have you been to Guadalajara City?, Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta are in th same City.
+Emmanuel Herrera we haven't! We really want to. We are thinking of going this weekend, but we will see if Wells Fargo let's us lol
Many RH same state not city
Many RH
Quite a distance, not only latitude and longitude, but altitude (PV at sea level, GDL way up in thin air).
Happy 4 of July
Gracias Paco! We went to Cancun on a cruise and the water was amazing!!
Weird, you guys are the second people I've seen move from the Dallas area to Vallarta
You guys have to try Guerrero style mole 😌
Hi guys...Love your videos...;) What did you do to live legally on Mexico.
Hola! Thank you for watching and commenting! We are just on a tourist visa that is good for 6 months and then we hate to reset it. But I work full-time on our website and videos and Hillary works for a CPA firm based out of Dallas that lets her work remotely !
Thank you for your reply and continue the good work. 👍👌
El proximo 20 de Julio voy de vacaciones a puerto vallarta con mi familia , estaran ustedes por alla en esa fecha ?
Si! Vamos estar ahi! :)
Kinetic Kennons ablan español??
How long do you think will it take to pay out your scholar debts?
Hopefully only another year or two if we don't incur any large medical bills. We are so ready to be done with those!
Just wondering what you do for health care -- do you have health insurance there?
We both just have health insurance from the states. I think it covers a few minor things, but if anything major happens we are out of pocket or flying back to the states.
auctionjjk health Care would cost less then paying for a USA insurance .
Almost in all cases you cover all your health issues in México, with the deductible you have to pay in USA, and with good doctors in private hospitals.
auctionjjk ha ha, you don't need that in Mexico!
question for Q and A
Who is your favorite cousin?
A. Thomas
B. Whoever was born on August 8th
C. All of the above
D. Do the hokey pokey
Haha! Is there a none of the above option, Thomas?
Kinetic Kennons sorry, but how is thomas not the favorite cousin? If he was not one of the answer choices who would be?
Hola güeros Espero que hayan pasado un buen fin de semana festejando el día de los muertos y espero que ya estén listos para ir a la Ciudad de México a conocer más de México ya estaremos mirando sus videos cuando lleguen allá a la Ciudad de México saludos
hi hello from Mérida Yucatán, my question is if you are considered live in México and what state you wish to live.
That's a great question! We want to visit as much of Mexico as we can. Guanajuato, CDMX, Puebla, Oaxaca, Merida, todo!
My mom grew up in Mexico city yet I haven't been there in a long time... haha one day Ill go
