José, I live in the US and make a 6 figure salary. I rarely get to see the beach, maybe a week every other year. I am truly sick and tired of being a tax slave. Thank you for sharing and proving that there are options. Your content gives me hope.
Hey Carlo, it is honestly beautiful here. I was raised in NJ, and currently live in Texas as I was stationed there for the Army. I invested in Merida however 30 minutes north on the coast "Chuburna Puerto as well as Chicxulub Puerto." Whenever I come down here i feel in peace. Not a single city has made me feel so safe. It is growing fast and aside from the historic downtown, the north is upscale and beautiful while very modern. I believe it is a great city to live in and I plan to move here once I turn 30.
Wife and I just got back from Mérida after a weeks stay, loved it. Spent a lot of time in the new square. Ever evening the green parrots would fly in to roost in the trees, we enjoyed that. It was our first time in Mérida and we loved it. Not one time did we ever feel uncomfortable about our safety.
Muchas Gracias! Thank you for your feedback. Many times I feel these videos are just not as good as the more polished ones. But you guys keep telling me otherwise which is great to hear! Thank you so much for sharing!
I love this particular video about Merida and how modern and developed it looks! Just loved . those parks with all the trees, the pigeons.etc etc. Man! I could move there tomorrow, if circumstances were in my favour. Keep up the good work, Jose! I spell my words according to the British education I had. So kindly excuse me. I have said many times, that one day, I hope to meet you and your wife together with my family. You always impress me to be and honest and straightforward guy. We truly appreciate that.
Glad they are refurbishing the park. We were there two weeks ago and it smelled like urine around that MERIDA sign. Coming back in December, can't wait to see the transformation. Excellent content sir, you are our inspiration to making the move next year.
I noticed that a few Zocolos in Central Mexico built little canopies over the benches for shade and Rain protection. Waiting for the trees to grow back could take a while! :)
Yeah I know what you mean. Not a big fan of what they did out here when it comes to Sun/Heat Management. Hope the new incoming Government helps alleviate the problem somehow
Buenas Jose, El Parque Esta Quedando BARBARO 👍🏻. Que DIOS BENDIGA A ESE GUITARRISTA 🎼. Looking Good Merida 👍🏻. Gracias 🙏 Por El Video, Cuidate Broder. 🎼☮️🎶🎸💃🏼A BAILAR
Hi Jose. Thanks for showing us the renovation at the zocalo. Merida looks nicer and nicer. Do you go to Progreso frequently? We are thinking about Merida or Progreso to retire in about 10 years.
What I constantly say to my parents when they start to go down that road of "when are you moving back?" is the cost of living is more competitive. Then I state the monthly expenses and after that they change the subject. Mexico is a great country for adventure and food but it also makes practical economic sense. I wish the security situation along the border would improve so that more Americans would move and bring more economic opportunities to the border.
Jose, I'm strongly considering Merida for the next chapter of my life. The heat has me a bit concerned. I like the "Hacienda" type of house, with the central garden. Can I find a house in the city built in that style? Thanks for your videos, my wife & I love them!
If Heat is a Major concern then you should spend some time in Merida before making the Big move. The heat can be overwhelming sometimes even for the locals. As for the Hacienda type of homes, there are tons out here in Merida but due to the popularity of the city in recent years they are at a premium these days.
We were in Merida last June, for those looking for a cheap BUT very nice hotel, look for Hotel Santa-Ana, about 30$ USD a night. Great breakfast by the way…
Guadalajara and Queretaro would also be my first options, probably Queretaro over Guadalajara, as it doesn't rain so much (it rains a lot during the summer in Guadalajara ).
@@Mongoose-ct6us You are right on that. I'll be visiting both next year and then I'll decide which one is best. Best of luck (I was surprised to find a comment that shares the same opinion that I have,...).
@@p.c.h.6721 San Miguel de Allende is the best but again doesn't have an international airport nearby. So Guadalajara is tye best city in Mexico if you yave travel aspirations. Good luck!
Those people that interrupt you are hustlers trying to make a living. You dont have to acknowledge them and let them interrupt you, you can just ignore them, it wont be sen as rude, they know you’re just going about your day and you’re not interested in any services or goods from anyone at that time. Yes they’re annoying but what can you do, not everyone has the fortune of having an economically confortable life, a lot of people have to hustle.
Your best bet is to start your own business, as you know in the restaurant industry we have very low pay, so expect the same in Mexico. Minimum wage in Mexico is about 250 pesos a day which is around 13 US Dollars for 10-12 hours or so. You can find out more info about starting a small business by watching this video th-cam.com/video/7wkNDaZQDnI/w-d-xo.html
Hello Jose. Your videos helped me make the decision to move to Merida. Thank you. Can you share a list of places to check out to buy an inexpensive used car?
Your videos are very detailed and informative. It brings back memories when I visited Merida a few times on business. I stayed and worked near the international airport. people are very friendly and treat you like family....I live in Florida (Miami) and then moved to Fort Pierce to retire there.
There used to be a great pizza shop where the 7-11 is. I spent a lot of time there, chit-chatting with one of the servers. He was one of the first people I tried having conversations in Spanish with. Good times. A "small" shrimp pizza was $20 pesos and delicious! Ah... memories 😂 Sad about the trees. I hope the new ones are fast growers! Mérida needs more trees everywhere, to help keep it cooler.
Oh wow! That must have been a long time ago! Super cool story! Happy to hear I could show you what the area looks like now! Thank you so much for sharing with us!
Governors Palace sounds very formal but it’s more like the equivalent of City Hall in the US. The governor doesn’t live or work there but you are right about the Independence celebration, it’s always there and the governor is there for the independence cry!
I have a question, what did they actually do to the old trees at the central park, did they just trimmed them or did they actually cut down some of the old large trees?
@@JoseArteagaTravels crazy, i wonder why they would cut down a large old tree, especially in a place that needs as much shade as they can have. thanks!
No issues with Amazon in Mexico in fact I made a whole video about it th-cam.com/users/livemENnzlQ2NtQ Also did a video while riding a horse you can see that one with this link th-cam.com/video/NypARMWtzMc/w-d-xo.html
The biggest turnoff to me about Merida is the weather. It seems that it's always hot and I'm used to it being in the 70s 😂 but for those that aren't weak willed I think it'll be great
I will miss the shade from the trees. Looks like too much concrete to me. We live in Progreso and love coming to Merida for the bici ruta, to shop, and to eat. We love Amara restaurant just a block from Plaza Grande.
If the answer to the question. Is it still worth moving to Merida? And that's no or maybe.. there are hundreds of other great communities in Mexico to think about that are not as big, not as tourism oriented. Living in typical Mexico is awesome, affordable and rewarding.. expand your list if all the larger cities are growing too fast, are victims of mass gentrification!! Lots of Mexico is still authentic and enjoyable...all the mass increase in everything from population, investment money, growth in government and associated infrastructure. Mexico is a large country plenty to choose from. Pick a town or city you have not seen on the internet and you are off to a better start
“The geometric arrangement of houses and plants in the park, like a chessboard, is simply repulsive compared to a natural, rounded structure with wavy arrangements of plants and houses. Never let mathematicians rule the world.”
Awesome Idea! In fact I should just pay someone to follow me 24/7 to make sure you know everything about me. No reason for me to have any privacy at all. You guys should know everything about my life to the point where you guys can make unannounced visits to my home. Sounds like an Amazing Idea!
So I'm looking at the renovation of the park. It looks like the downtown park in my home city/ state of San Antonio, Texas. All in the name of progress. You're correct to ask: Is moving to Merida, Yucatan, Mexico, still worth it? I am beginning to wonder. I believe your beloved Merida, Jose, is being Americanized day by day. The Mexican people already don't like the fact that they removed all those trees in the park, and, I agree with them, because you need to have a lot of trees in a place that's so hot and humid. And that's just the beginning. It's sad to say that Canadians and Americans won't stop until they make everything Canada or the United States. Again, be careful what you wish for with these transplants. These new people, that are invading, ( Yes, I said invading), Mexico, albeit for a very few, will not conform to Mexican customs and traditions. They say they will, but they won't. It's the same way that other people that have invaded the United States and Canada will not conform to those countries customs and traditions either. I feel like we are living in an upside down world right now. And that makes me sad, and terrified all at the same time. PS, With all that being said, I do love the fact that Mexico is having such a great prosperity it has been in a long time coming. Mexico greatly deserves all the prosperity, happiness, and, advancement in Mexico's Golden Age, which I believe is currently happening. Que Viva Mexico, Siempre. 💚💟❤️
@@Cab87 Morelia , Patzcuaro Michoacan , Aguascalientes, Guadalajara, Guanajuato , Queretaro , Tequisquiapan , Xalapa, Orizaba Veracruz, Durango, Encinada, Rosarito, Tijuana. Last 3 costal cities , but have the good weather all year round. Encinada is more hot than Tijuana and Rosarito.
All depends on you and your personal expenses. You can watch this video I did recently on Cost of Living th-cam.com/video/mslWEm1r9_E/w-d-xo.htmlsi=L1l0LQvolFXh3u6v
For you guys is amazing makig dollars ans spending in pesos ! And im tryin to be a btch i would do the same if i was from canada or us …. But for locals like me … its becoming a nightmare the higher prices i mean the average salary for a local is $8000 pesos and the average rent for housing is around $7000 i mean you dont survive with $1000 pesos and nobody does anything about it because the govermen is just stupid… i lived in salt lake city for a decade and i do really miss the fact that theres no holes on the ground … here innmerida is fked up i feel like mario kart going around avoiding holes ! So i guess if you enjoy the hot weather and you make dollars this is the right place for you but if you dont is just not
The way I see it is very simple. Most retirees these days barely have enough as it is with their retirements right now, so what hope will i have in 25 years? Also I used to work in the restaurant industry and never thought I would even make it to retirement. That's why I always lived my life now and enjoyed my life now in my youth instead of waiting 45-50 years to retire and enjoy life. I have always lived a retired lifestyle and have always tried to live as much in the now as possible. That way by the time I do get into my 60s-70s I can truly say I lived my life and won't sitting there in a luxury penthouse thinking about all the things i could have done instead of just doing them when I had the chance.....
@@JoseArteagaTravelsThat’s TRUE freedom and living a full life. The U.S. oligarchs, govt., etc, have convinced the average American that living your full life, not chaining yourself to an employer, etc is the best option. It’s not. It’s indentured servitude hoping that you’ll get the few peanuts you’ve been “promised” at the end of your “service”. Folks are finally realizing that that’s the scam.
”For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?“ Mark 8:36 NKJV “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”John3:16 NKJV “that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”Romans10:9 NKJV Romans 3:23 (KJV) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans 6:23 (KJV) For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Retired 74 years young. NOT OLD♿. Watch your month young man. Hope the newly elected politicians are good people. I like the bold art @14:30. Basically Centro is friendly, clean has improved.

Awesome! Great Choice!
Love this video José. Keep them coming...we appreciate you!
Muchas Gracias! Glad to hear you enjoyed it so much!
I love the guy with the guitar in the wheel chair. He is so nice, made me feel welcome and beautiful when I visited😊
Yes he is a true Gem and the un-official mascot of El Centro
Wife and I just got back from Mérida after a weeks stay, loved it. Spent a lot of time in the new square. Ever evening the green parrots would fly in to roost in the trees, we enjoyed that. It was our first time in Mérida and we loved it. Not one time did we ever feel uncomfortable about our safety.

Ha! Jose! been there done that, sat on those green benches in the shade eating an ice-cream, and loved every minuet of it! I'LL BE BACK! 😎👍
That is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
THANKS FOR SHOWING TRUE MEXICAN CULTURE JOSE REALLY APPRECIATE YOU 👍
Muchas Gracias! Glad you enjoyed the video!

Muchas Gracias! Glad to hear that! Thanks for sharing!
These walks and talks are great, so are the walks that you add yourself to later. Thanks Jose!
Muchas Gracias! Thanks for the feedback!
Excellent work Sir as always… keep it up…

Hi Jose! I took a break from my Mexico endeavors, so I've mbeen missing your videos. SO happy to see you again! Great content, as always. :-)
Awesome! Welcome back!
I actually enjoy the walking videos more than the voice overs... thanks for sharing, keep up the good work! 🤗

Jose thank you. You do you. The videos are great either way. If it’s easier to add your voice later , then be comfortable ❤.
Muchas Gracias! Glad to hear you enjoy the videos either way!!
I was there in mid August when it was still heavily under construction and the square looks beautiful now!!!
Awesome! Glad you think so! Thanks for sharing!
I noticed that a few Zocolos in Central Mexico built little canopies over the benches for shade and Rain protection. Waiting for the trees to grow back could take a while! :)
Yeah I know what you mean. Not a big fan of what they did out here when it comes to Sun/Heat Management. Hope the new incoming Government helps alleviate the problem somehow

Hi Jose. Thanks for showing us the renovation at the zocalo. Merida looks nicer and nicer.
Do you go to Progreso frequently? We are thinking about Merida or Progreso to retire in about 10 years.
Awesome! Happy to hear you enjoyed the video! Yes we go to Progreso from time to time
I am so excited about making Mazatlan a part of my second resident.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Mexico City is beautiful and yes, very safe

Jaja we miss you brother! Hope to see you back out here one day! Hope you are doing well all things considered! Big hugs from all of us!

I can handle the heat! I just hate the mosquitos!
Jaja you and me both and everyone else for that matter! 😅
No mosquitoes at the beach 🏖️
I have a question, what did they actually do to the old trees at the central park, did they just trimmed them or did they actually cut down some of the old large trees?
They did both
@@JoseArteagaTravels crazy, i wonder why they would cut down a large old tree, especially in a place that needs as much shade as they can have. thanks!

I totally agree. Hopefully the Trees grow back quickly!
Aloha Jose
Hola!
Beutiful area
Yes it truly is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!
So sad, Central Park should have lots of TREES, lawn areas and water works. Wonder how much this cost?
I totally agree. Hopefully everything grows back soon!
If you love living in a place that's 🔥🥵🔥. Sure Merida would be great
Thanks for sharing!
It is very similar to Los Angeles in my opinion.
I totally agree it feels like Miami in many parts of the city especially the North. Thanks for sharing
The trees need to be trim once in a while, it's healthy for them.
I agree trimming is necessary.... Cutting them down is another matter altogether 😅

Mexico is a large country plenty to choose from. Pick a town or city you have not seen on the internet and you are off to a better start
I totally agree with you! Muchas Gracias for sharing! Viva Mexico!
And other places in Mexico is not as dangerous as U.S. hype claims
That is correct! Viva Mexico! Thanks for sharing!
Why, why, why did they cut the trees?
There are many reasons why but none of them seem logical to the population which is fairly upset over it
Here in Las Vegas they over the years turned grass terrain into desert with dirt and desert shrubs. To save water. Merida will be different
“The geometric arrangement of houses and plants in the park, like a chessboard, is simply repulsive compared to a natural, rounded structure with wavy arrangements of plants and houses. Never let mathematicians rule the world.”
I totally agree I liked the old colonial look much better. Thanks for sharing!
I want to see where you live, how you live, who are your neighbors, your bank, your doctor etc
Awesome Idea! In fact I should just pay someone to follow me 24/7 to make sure you know everything about me. No reason for me to have any privacy at all. You guys should know everything about my life to the point where you guys can make unannounced visits to my home. Sounds like an Amazing Idea!
Always hot year round what stupid did that cut the trees
I agree, horrible decision to cut down so many trees. Hopefully all the trees and foliage grow back soon!
So I'm looking at the renovation of the park. It looks like the downtown park in my home city/ state of San Antonio, Texas. All in the name of progress.

Jose does Mexico have the lottery and if so can a American win the lottery in Mexico if they become citizens? 😊
Yes Mexico has a Lottery you can win it once you become a Mexican Citizen
Is Puerto Vallarta MX a nice day to live and affordable?
I hear wonderful things from the area but I have never been myself
Puerto Vallarta is very hot, humid and expensive . You can find a better place in Mexico than Puerto Vallarta.

Can I get by with afford prices
All depends on you and your personal expenses. You can watch this video I did recently on Cost of Living th-cam.com/video/mslWEm1r9_E/w-d-xo.htmlsi=L1l0LQvolFXh3u6v
I keep asking my mother to leave Florida but she won’t leave. Even though her house insurance rates have skyrocketed.
I know what you mean. Nothing we can do for them all we can do is enjoy our own lives. Thanks for sharing
For you guys is amazing makig dollars ans spending in pesos ! And im tryin to be a btch i would do the same if i was from canada or us …. But for locals like me … its becoming a nightmare the higher prices i mean the average salary for a local is $8000 pesos and the average rent for housing is around $7000 i mean you dont survive with $1000 pesos and nobody does anything about it because the govermen is just stupid… i lived in salt lake city for a decade and i do really miss the fact that theres no holes on the ground … here innmerida is fked up i feel like mario kart going around avoiding holes ! So i guess if you enjoy the hot weather and you make dollars this is the right place for you but if you dont is just not

I wonder why they had to cut the trees back. Maybe just a haircut for the trees
We all wonder the same thing. Either way after living here for so long I know a few hard rains and it will be back in full bloom in no time!
Curious, will you be getting a social security pension? How well prepared are you when it's your turn to retire?
The way I see it is very simple. Most retirees these days barely have enough as it is with their retirements right now, so what hope will i have in 25 years? Also I used to work in the restaurant industry and never thought I would even make it to retirement. That's why I always lived my life now and enjoyed my life now in my youth instead of waiting 45-50 years to retire and enjoy life. I have always lived a retired lifestyle and have always tried to live as much in the now as possible. That way by the time I do get into my 60s-70s I can truly say I lived my life and won't sitting there in a luxury penthouse thinking about all the things i could have done instead of just doing them when I had the chance.....
@@JoseArteagaTravels Good answer! Thanks for taking the time to reply. ☺️
@@JoseArteagaTravelsThat’s TRUE freedom and living a full life. The U.S. oligarchs, govt., etc, have convinced the average American that living your full life, not chaining yourself to an employer, etc is the best option. It’s not. It’s indentured servitude hoping that you’ll get the few peanuts you’ve been “promised” at the end of your “service”. Folks are finally realizing that that’s the scam.
