I love the honesty in your answers. So much information for us to chew on.
Very interesting conversation; thanks for sharing.
Love y’all. I Met Adalia when I lived in cdmx and she is as awesome as she comes off on screen.
I watch you ladies and you just keep me smiling. You two are very entertaining...and somewhat informative... I wish you All the Best!
When you respect the place you go you are loved. Mexico love foreigners who respect its people and land.
I'm not in Mexico yet ( coming in April) but I'm in a lot of the groups on FB. I have my residency visa part 1 taken care of ( I did economic solvency) I am so shocked that some of the mayo people are mad that you need money to live in Mexico. They want to be able to come down on their $10/hr salary and live like kings/queens. No boo, the Mexican government wants to make sure that you have enough money to take care of yourself, so that they don't have to take care of you when you run out. It's ridiculous. I'm glad they raised the amount needed to come over. $2500 a month is not a lot of money.
Hola from Puebla !!
Bout to book that flight!!
New to the channel, 🥰🧘🏽♀️🌹just subbed-really Love and Appreciate you Goddesses, your efforts, and sharing your knowledge and journeys! Peace•Blessings•Love
This is an episode of How America Messed Me Up .
The traffic light issue is the same in Tanzania. They only stop if they need to. Red lights are considered more or less a yield sign.
Roshida cracks me up :)
I am from Mexico City and I am amazed by how spot on are Roshida’s & Adalia’s views about this city! Truly, you are soooo accurate. I’d just add on the hanging subject on class and skin color: there is no Mexican who doesn’t see that connection here… we all do see it, no Mexican will deny that is a reality. However, it is true that we do not talk about it as much.
It isn’t an easy light conversation between us Mexicans cause you see there is no group of Mexicans where you can talk about it and there are no skin color differences between those of us in the conversation… so the minute someone talks about it with another Mexican, everyone puts up their guards and everyone gets uncomfortable. You have to know that for most of us, we all have a lighter and a darker skin color relative or friend - father could be brown skin and mother super light skin… best friend light brown, another one is blonde, another one a different shade of brown. So it is not us and them… but us are them and them are us. So by naming the difference when in a group of friends or relatives we unwillingly draw a line that immediately separate us… but if not one mentions it we don’t see ourselves as different, but as friends or family. I guess we have learned not to bring it up because it only makes everyone uncomfortable. So yeah, we see it but we don’t let that sets us apart (at least not those of us who don’t identify as white Mexicans and who have all shades of brown in our families, peers, colleagues, etc).
I think the people that are most uncomfortable are the lighter skinned people and white people who simply don’t and won’t challenge a system that they clearly benefit from. Who is really going to destroy with benefits them? It’s not pretty but it’s the truth
Your name is Tenoch Huerta 🤣😂
I can hear you both.
I have a cousin who grew up in California and is now married to a Mexican man and living her dream life in Mexico. I hear she is treated like a queen!!
Some parts of Nola has feeder roads. They are called Service Roads.
i love you 2 brutal honest reactions. I dont think I could be in these groups bc I would answer ppl like why you here? what made you think it was a great idea to go down that alley clown?
2:27:40 his name is Diego Rivera, a very famous muralist.
Hi love the video, it is not that people doesnt like some plushy. To buy good and durable furniture you have to leave the city. The Estado de México has a lot of pueblos that only make furniture. You can ask for it to be made by the fabric and color you select and telling the measures of your place and it send to your place in 15 days paying half when you made your selection and the other in your home. They send you photos of the production or you can go to see how it is going. And theshipping is other price is not included and depends were you live. There are many of this places you can find in Facebook but again dont spect english speakers. By the way love the hair soo shiny 🤩 And the people of the weekly market probably buy their furniture in the Estado de México and resale it in the city. Recomendation go a saturday morning.
Nice chit-chat, very nice show (I know is serious, just joking) ladies, keep going with your channels both of you. Good to have you in Mexico.
How do you choose where to live? Do you live in an apartment or house? Do you rent? How close are you to the city? Did you choose your home before you moved there and how did you choose the first time you moved there?
lol...Yes ...I heard that too! Do not go to the second location.
Great information…..always! The older I get the more I notice allergic reactions to poor air pollution. Have you noticed a considerable low air quality difference than in the US (which is very polluted - lol)?
Me too I’m allergic to everything
Great info!! Thank Ladies!! I love your talks and discussions. Makes me more excited to arrive there. I have already chosen the locations in Mexico city that are very walkable and the parks are nearby. I would like to visit both Mexico City as well as Playa Del Carmen to see and experience both cities. Have you ladies lived or stayed in Playa Del Carmen for any amount of time? I will like to know more about that as well. Do you have a video on that location?
I am not Mexican , when I was a child my parents went to the movies in the golden era of Mexico. I read about Veracruz in the 50 era that a good population of blacks.
En colonial times many blacks use to live but the mixed w indigenous and blacks asimílate and you do not see in Mexico City only in the Coast near sea of Mexico. They were absorbed by the orthers inmigrants or move to others Spanish colonies. You are new inmigrants and you stay and intermarriage you children will be mextizos. Enjoy Mexico a nation with a great history and indigenous heritage. Hey I am not mexica I am New Jersey USA but I study the Mexico history.
Can you refer the person that your mother used in Mexico for the temporary residency and if you know someone for the US to do the forms.
Hi! Where/how to hire someone to help with the Mexican side of residency-
When should I begin my residency as I plan to move there by retiring between January-March 2025. Should I start now for temporary residency. So that would put me closer to 4 year mark to later apply for permanent residency. As of now I am far beyond the money cap for residency. I’m aware that it can change by then. But my retirement pay is decent along with 401k for Mexico.
Actually I had the timing wrong. I plan to move January-March 2024.
feeder roads are called frontage roads here
Kidnapping, murders and rape are the items my brother was concern with when I stated I plan to visit and hopefully move to Mexico City. He recommended I was Narc about Mexico. Again I'm not rich or have rich family members so why would I be frightened about living in Mexico City.
No reason to be scared to come here.
How can I contact you re: investing? I am a disabled senior w/no life insurance, no savings and w/life threatening health issues.
No city IN THE WOLRD Roshida?
Yes, no city in the world, you have a lot things to do and places go and you can spend much money or few money or even free.
There is an IKEA in México City
You almost killed me with the "dirty d" , so true. Thank you! 😆
Folks out here denying it, but we know it’s true. 😂
Why don't they have bath tubs in Mexico? And, we in Texas grew up with Washeterias!
Looking for info or link for Adalia’s investing class or workshop- where do I add myself to the list? Thank you
Here’s the link: pickygirltravels.thinkific.com/courses/get-started-investing
Thank you
I love that nobody cares when they see my blackness while living in Mexico. It's nice to live unbothered.
I dare you to enter the MAN circle! ⭕😆
There’s a class, separation , have you been, to the riches areas,
They don’t care, for the middle, or lower class, you all are no getting the whole information, right, I travel all Mexico,
😂😂😂 thanks for educating. I would know nothing about Mexico without you.
After listening to all of this, I can hear dude kevin samuels in my head saying all the things about dating outside the culture. Some of it is sounding true unfortunately here😕
You mean the Kitten in heels?? Lol.
Please don’t take advice from a man with no education, has been divorced twice and is a convicted felon for armed robbery.
I married an indigenous man and he was wonderful.
Dating in America is probably way easier for women versus in countries where there are traditional gender roles in the culture. Also the income inequality being more pronounced definitely gives men with money even more options.
So the challenges of dating that might exist in America are probably even worse in a country like Mexico.
