❤I'm glad to be a first commentator 😃... I'm thinking of relocate to San Miguel from Dubai..so this is how I found you guys. It's awesome and great work ✅... Highly appreciates
Thank you for the kind words!
Lots of good info. Only feedback I have is to look more at the camera than at the husband 😅😊
Easier to walk on cobblestone than ice😂, and would be more inclined to walk in plus 25C than minus 25C😢! Thanks for the pricing info.
Mexico Governmental agencies don't take cash, generally they will give you a document that you take to the bank and then you return with the receipt from the bank. We look forward to seeing you and Laura. In Mexico your better off walking because things are so close. A lot of places are a mix of housing and business. Women wearing high heeled shoes on cobblestone streets is an amazing thing to watch. Rent in Mexico for a year and even if you find that an area is not right for you move to another place n Mexico for a year.-Marc
Our immigration facilitator warned us against paying cash at the bank. She said often that complicated things when you get to the immigration office. You are right, lots of options!
This is such a “Canadian” review! Haha. Not a single negative thing. Not a single Con. What were the cons? Or was it all butterflies and rainbows? I was really hoping for a more balanced review.
Sorry to disappoint you! We do believe we have a balanced view overall if you watch all of our videos. Our experience with our residency is far from positive overall. Also, the cost of pizza and other foods!
My husband lived there before I met him in Austin and he wants us to move there. He also does not have one negative thing to say. He loved it.
To be honest, not much negatives things to say it’s a cute small town with very friendly people 🤷.
Don't they have uber? Usually must cheaper then a taxi (yellow)
Wow $2250 a month? Rent .
Awh, you guys are cute together. I'm looking at videos trying to figure out where I can afford to move. US Senior on SS only. 🥴
It's an addiction trying to find the right place. Trust me!
Hola Justine! I've noticed that you are a newby to these various "Moving to Mexico!" videos. If you have minimal cash flow get a friend that wants to do the same thing. You can live together close enough to the border where it's not that a big of a deal to do border runs every 180 days if you can't afford the economical requirements for residency. It's legal and I have friends that have lived here for years and have never bothered to go through the residency process. A couple or a couple of friends could easily live a great affordable lifestyle here for less than $1500us per month. I'm solo and have a Resident Visa. I could easily afford to rent a larger home and throw more money around if I felt like it but I chose the smaller home less than a mile to beach for half as much and live like a Rey (King) on less than $1200us total and that includes private health care. Best thing I've ever done for myself! Don't wait or the time will never seem to be just right.... Mucha suerte desde la hermosa Ensenada!
Her: we should do an episode on shoes!
Him: 🙄
Him: Sounds like a good day to not be around. Her: Awesome idea!
Hi guys! Have you considered driving with the dogs and be snowbirds? Would the Airbnb you stayed at be pet friendly?
The Airbnb was pet friendly. They charged a cleaning fee at the end of the stay, but we would be ok with that. We certainly have considered the "snowbird" model. It has its advantages, we are just not sure if driving 4-5 days with two big digs multiple times a year is a good thing. Our viewpoint may change, and often does!
City is not that big though I've never walked it i was told 20 mon end to end. Only about 3,000 pèople.
