    I retired Jan 2020 & have been mobile ever since, like you I'm traveling the world, living out of hotels & never cooking again. I'm currently in Vietnam for the 6th time. Next week I'm headed to Hong Kong on a 1 way ticket & will book somewhere when I'm ready. Good & Safe travels vibes for u ❤❤

    Malikah, thank you very much for this update. I plan to continue to follow you. I have lived in Playa del Carmen for 7 years after living in Belize for 3 years. I guess I have made this my base and love the secure community where I have Iived since I was 73 years old. I am happy to know that you are using your time, resources, and good health to follow your dreams. I have no regrets and am thankful that I was blessed to travel to all the wonderful places that I did years ago. Time flies, so enjoy every moment that you can.

    I started watching you for Merida content, discovered while watching you I don't want to do all the cleaning, cooking and looking at prehistoric critters you have been doing in Merida. I didn't do all that living in Brazil! I'd been looking at Merida as a retirement relocation--that's now all in the air. Good luck on your travels and to less cooking, cleaning and prehistoric critters. Yes, I'll continue to follow your travels.

      Baja California is definitely a different vibe! Haven't lived there but visited: Tijuana, Rosarito, Ensenada (which I was bored with), etc.
      It's so beautiful in that area and the energy is different. And America is nearby. 🤣 Even though when some people leave America they think they aren't going back. 🤣 Yucatan, Mexico may make you rethink that. 🤣
      Some positives about Yucatan, Mexico are the insanely beautiful architecture in some places (the church in Hocaba, Yucatan for example!), cenotes (over 300 public cenotes in Homun), etc.

The beaches here are so so, u have to go 3 hrs to cancun or Cozumel for clear water :( after being here off and on for 20 + years Baja sur is sounding like the right change. Not too fond of the pacific side

    look at Panama City Panama if you haven't already. Lots of flights, discounted flights for pensioners, good transportation of all kinds including the metro train. BUT BE WARNED.... you will fall in love with the people and the culture and might find yourself settling in again :) . But it's the perfect place to venture out to other countries from. Now I like the food in Panama, but I'm from Louisiana raised on seafood and seafood is plentiful there, so I'm good. I also need to lose weight and find myself eating correctly when I'm there. I can't relocate because I'm obligated to my 96-year-old mom. But once that part of life is over I will be Panama bound. I already travel every other month and I will continue to do that from there. Good luck to you on making your dreams happen. Oh and I plan to hire out for all that cleaning, LOL!!!

    Hey Malika, I just read your comment on my channel. Thank you. It seems we're both in the same, or similar boat. Mérida has some good things for sure, but it's way overrated. 4 years is enough. I got my permanent residency which is great but it's time to move on.
    Funny how you mentioned the "stans". I like the idea of Thailand a lot but I'm so over humidity so I doubt Thailand will fit the bill although I'm sure I'd love the food and scenery and so forth.
    I'm thinking of cooler climates, Czech Republic, I don't know, something different.
    Anyway good luck selling and moving. I'm going through the same.

I gotta go back home to visit my family…” that’s the place you wanna stay

    Hola, Malikah! Wow, leaving Merida ... that doesn't surprise me. I'm a subscriber of your channel since your first interview by Cartess. I've noticed, a lot of TH-camrs are leaving The Yucatan Peninsula for obvious reasons after living or visiting the area, creating their own experience and judging for themselves. I'm also a traveler. My home base is in Colorado.
    I visited Cancun (January 2024) and it was nothing like The TH-camrs described. First of all, Cancun area is more expensive than the USA. Second, the temperature was over 95 degrees in January (a winter month). Third, I was haggled everywhere I went and hit with the gringo prices. Restaurants, souvenir shops, etc, etc ... everything I experienced was extremely expensive. The least expensive area I experienced was Isla Mujeres. However, that place was still more expensive than the USA. Therefore, in my experience, Cancun area is not considered paradise as described by The TH-camrs and it is not affordable or "cheap". Please believe it.

    Loved your video! I watch many travel content creators ( as part of my research before traveling ). You are absolutely right, people leave for many different reasons when it comes to different parts of the world, the heat in Merida can be a huge factor. But, overall everyone’s goal is different when it comes to traveling out of the US. Some of us want to see the world while others just want a place to catch a break enough to pull our heads out from under water. I’ll never judge any for going out there and finding what they want in life. Glad you are doing what your heart wants, that is all that matters🙏🏽 best wishes and safe travels, happy to watch your journey.

Yes, I, too, have decided to keep the US as my base (free apartment LOL)and, I guess, be a flexpat, a new term. I love your videos and will continue to watch them as you gallivant. I could tell from your videos, from one bopper to another, that you would probably leave soon. I bought a lot of crap in NYC as well, and it makes me feel bogged down.

Like you we don’t like the food - we miss so much our usa food options and we will go back in a few months when our lease expires.

      I like empanadas, polcanes, rice and beans, guacamole (even though I almost never eat it), and not much else. If I never ate these foods (the way they make them here) again I wouldn't even notice. 🤣
