Gurl, I LOVE your point about ppl not looking at you like “Negro, do you belong here?” That made me laugh... I’m Mexican-American, from L.A., and I too am moving to Mexico City this summer (I also lived there for 6 mos in 2018). I feel EXACTLY the same way you do. Only, I’m like, “WTF am I doing in a country that constantly makes you feel like an outsider or like you just swam across the Rio Grande, when my people have an amazing country where my DNA originates and I can live there at 50% of the cost while living in a truly global city?!”
.
There’s ZERO reason to live in a toxic country like the U.S. if you achieve financial freedom, as I have. Mexico in general is open, accepting, friendly, the vibe is calm/peaceful/zen, people like to have a good time, the country is full of art & culture, and the food is GOOD and natural... I can go on. You’re def ahead of the game. Anyway, thanks for sharing your experience! ❤️
😆😂😂🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
I am thinking about the same as well. US truly is one of the most toxic street enduring places I have ever been.
I like that...A truly global city. Nice.
And let's not forget that California,Texas and Arizona is stolen land which was Mexico before the war.
mm to tell u the truth there is a lot of racism in Mexico too.. I too am Chicano. and people call me "gringo" and ask me for money.. the ones that do that I dont hang out with them.. I only met 2! dudes who werent like that... They think cause I come from the US I always have money to give away...
When I am in los "combis" people look at me as soon as I say my stop cause they hear my accent. which isnt a bad thing unless ur in a bad neighborhood where they would wanna rob you...
PS.. I never experienced racism in the USA... people always said I look Italian.. but its funny cause my black friends would call me "Chino" LOL one even called me "Bruce Leroy" XD but in Mexico I rly dont like it when they call me gringo and stuff...
Hi, I’m Canadian and in 2015, at 57 and after working/living in CA for almost 20 years and back surgery, I told my husband we should “activate” our years-long goal of retiring abroad and our 1st choice was Mexico but we took a 5 year detour to Europe ( because the Euro-USD was good ). We finally made it to Mexico City in March ‘21 and spent about 10 weeks there. We absolutely loved it. Everything you said, I was nodding. I’m quite shocked that Mexico City isn’t more popular with foreigners. We also never, not once, felt remotely unsafe. Having arrived from sea level, we did need to adapt to the altitude a bit but that’s it. Not only is the food amazing, but so are people in Mexico City. I can only speak about people I’ve interacted with of course but they have an open warmth that feels genuine. I’ve never felt condescended to. We don’t have a vehicle so we mostly walked everywhere. Btw, Uber is very inexpensive and so easy to use and efficient. We are traveling around looking for a place to settle, before applying for residency but frankly I think CDMX remains my first choice. About learning Spanish, yes it is much easier when you are surrounded by spanish speakers. If you’re a beginner, do take a class to get some basics and then also watch TV/movies in Spanish with subtitles. Take your time and it will sink in. Once you’ve got enough vocabulary to at least understand what is being said, switch to Spanish subtitles. It really helps to solidify your understanding. If you’re wobbly, just go back and forth between English and Spanish subtitles. Take notes on specific little phrases or expressions that are actually used. Ok enough 🥴. Anyways, I think Mexico gets such a bad rap and I’m pretty sure it’s mostly from people who have never been to Mexico. About crime, do I have to mention the mass-shootings in the U.S. ? Don’t be afraid to come, using common sense and discover this beautiful City. I know I’m going back soon and will likely settle there. Thanks for the great list.
Nice story.
Nice way to talk about Mexico City.
Wait you know all the country!
It’s amazing and beautiful.
“People mind their own business, isn’t that strange” 🤣😂 that’s what I’m saying!!! It’s a novelty here in America
American society is so backwards. Minorities fully experience this REALITY, while those of the majority are still able to benefit, point fingers and say, "you have problems". Truly truly, there will come a time in America where those sitting on a high horse looking down at the drowning will realize they're also in 6ft of water rising.
Welcome to my Mexico, which is yours as well. Thanks for living here and contributing to build a better society, Spanish will come along in a blink you’ll see, it isn’t that hard for English speakers. Cheers from Chihuahua!
Thanks for the welcome! 💛
♥️♥️♥️♥️😁😁😁
As a black man, I'm ALWAYS mindful of the extra stress there is just living in the US. For example, this morning, I went to the bagel store and picked up breakfast sandwiches. The woman took my order, I paid, no issues. What could go wrong? So my meal is finally ready and I say, "Yep, that's me", but the kid (he didn't take my order) is looking at me with suspicion. HE DIDN'T DO THAT WITH ANYONE ELSE! I say to him, slightly annoyed, "if you think I didn't pay for it, just ask her; she took my order". Another young lady came over and quickly said, "OH NO, HE'S GOOD!". My mistake was not asking for a receipt. Next time I will, even though I don't like the chemicals in receipts, so if I don't need one (apparently, in this case I did!), I don't take them. Or if I'm on a business trip, I take a picture of it, then throw it away.
Did I ever tell you the time security came up to me, asking me what I was doing in the building...THAT I WORKED AT, FOR OVER 3 YEARS? Yeah, all of us melanined people have stories like this!
"isnt that strange? minding your own bussiness?"
I'm dead gurl.
It’s shocking! 😆
FACTS! Mexico City will absolutely change your outlook and experience with Mexican food. The food is outstanding.
In U S many think Mexico's food is only tacos , quesadillas , burritos or enchiladas. 😅
The six months that I spent in Mexico City changed my life, for the better; I learned more in that 180 days than I did in three years of high school
It's such an amazing place. I hope you make it back here. 💛
How funny 😄
the problem in the US is that the cost of essentials like healthcare and housing have inflated so much while incomes have essentially gone nowhere that it is a struggle just to pay those bills. It is just frustrating.
Agreed!
Healthcare in the US can bankrupt most of us, *especially* with this pandemic. How many people thought they had good, solid jobs, only to find out, a. you no longer have a job and b. you don't have healthcare either? God help you if:
* you have a premie child, that needs to spend an extra month in the hospital
* you all of a sudden need bypass surgery
* you need a kidney transplant
right at the same time that you lost your job. It can bankrupt you very quickly, which is one of the reasons why I want to retire abroad. My wife and I are blessed and we make very good money, but again, in the US, you're one bad medical procedure and no health insurance away from being on the streets.
And when we're growing we feel more ALIVE! Who doesn't want to feel more alive?
Yes, growing and stretching is an amazing feeling and a wonderful opportunity. 💛
You know...this is why the media is so dedicated to showing all the propaganda about the southern border of Amerikkka. They only highlight the problems down there as if Amerikkka is some kind of paradise for all people. Thanks so much for this video.
I lived in cuernavaca for a while and would come thru mexico city from Atlanta. Its so beautiful. Im thinking of moving to merida. But mexico city is beautiful. Viva la raza.
I love Mexico City. The restaurants, the museums, the architecture. It has it going on!
Love your shirt/dress! Your skin looks healthy and radiant!☺️
Thank you so much, and thank you for watching. 💛
I realized by staying home for 2 months that microaggressions at work and in commerce had me in a constant state of fight or flight...the stress relief, if you can believe it, that occurred for me from March - May 2020 until we made a re-entry plan for dentists was actually healing for me. I was at home cooking daily, being loved on by my family and not spending money on my commute to interact with people who may treat me poorly.
I'm English, been here ten years off and on. Mexico changed my life, and changed me. I owe her a lot, my second language first and foremost.
A beautiful video dedicated to my heart's second home. My mom and I visit Mexico City yearly to visit family, and we're heading down on Monday with my dad after last year's absence. So nice to see someone recognize Mexico for all that it is.
I wish you could talk to my wife about toxic work environments. She believes what she is experiencing is normal.
I went to Mexico city just before pandemic. Loved it. Loved it. Loved it!!! The museum's and architecture got me good. Can't wait to go back for the food and more art.
So you know what I'm talking about. It's such a great city! 💛
@@Roshida Yes. But I was so SHOCKED becausr all these years everyone always talked about Acapulco, Natalie is and all the "spring break cities." Ad soon as I get my second covid shot I'm on my way. Are you available as a tour guide? No worries. I'm no b.
s. Or other nonsense . Just an older b.m. who loves travel, food, art and LEARNING new things,languages and places.😊
Shida you did a nice marketing campaign to move to Mexico City. I appreciate all your points especially weather.
Never too cold never too hot.
This is a very good video, but I was surprised she did not mention the beautiful parks, street trees, and architecture.
@@YLee-cw2yn CDMX is the ultimate city.
Being from the United States I hear horror stories regarding kidnappings and cartels specially in a place they call the DF. What has been your experience?
Wow, what a different experience from what some international students told me. They live in Mexico City and when they stayed with me in Canada, they talked about car-jackings and high crime. However, since you don't own a car, you probably won't get car-jacked, lol! I'm definitely wanting to visit now that you've shared such a positive experience!!
Well, there’s a lot of crime like in any major city. You don’t have major cities in Canada. I mean this is a Metropolis of 20 million people. I’ve been robbed twice in 43 years, and been robbed in Chicago and Amsterdam after only been there for days. My car has never been stolen, but I leave it inside, mostly or in front of my house. But yeah, there’s crime like in any major city.
Have you thought about moving to Mexico City? If so, let me know what's standing in your way.
As I posted on another Vloggers video. I lost interest in traveling. I haven't traveled in over 15 years.
I'm subscribing more and more to Black Vloggers, in hopes that will change.
I'm a US Black American woman. I had a Military Father. I went to High School in Spain and lived/visited several other Countries. I traveled mostly throughout my youth and 20s.
After I moved back to the US from living in Canada, since 2006, I haven't went anywhere. I wouldn't mind living in Mexico, as I learned español in my youth🇪🇸. I just don't have the desire for travel.😢
Thanks for sharing a great, informative video.👍🏾🙂
I've been considering Mexico City(never visited) and am currently working on my remote work plan. My concern is it's not going to be has affordable as I need it to be. I have some savings but live paycheck to paycheck. Pay $1050 a month in rent for a 1bd which is below avg for Central New Jersey. My place is spacious, quiet ,clean and safe so I can't complain but my means are modest and rent gobbles up most of my income. I hoped to find something of equal quality in Mexico City for much less but have concerns that may not be as doable as I'd hoped. Your thoughts? TIA
Heyyyyy, I’m coming to Mexico City for a whole month next month on the 4th. 🥳🥳🥳
Planning my 1-3 month stay for May. Any suggestions on neighborhoods or how to find a short term apartment?
@Galleta de Soda your right it’s none of your business
"Or shot." - That perspective of the police story is so powerful, especially coming from a person of color having lived in the United States. Your voice is important, it is needed, and you are LOVED
I am in love with this channel! Just found it! My grandparents immigrated over from Mexico City and Lebanon in the 40s to East LA and my skin is as white as they come but I grew up with neighbors with individuals who looked nothing like me.....and I loved it because I feel as a woman I can take on more adventures and feel comfortable. So with that said....I want to be part of the Shida crew if you guys will have me :) Viva Mexico!
You really sold me on Mexico City. It was the food part that sold me🤣
Let the food lead you 😉😆💛
She definitely describes the energy well, but wait until you experience the parks, street trees, and architecture.
I was looking for a place to vacation next month Mexico City sounds great! Especially the great food!😃😃😃
Thanks for the video I never thought about Mexico City you have opened my eyes.
It's a beautiful city. You should visit. 💛
I just spent 6 months in Brazil. Many of the same things apply. Earn in dollars online, spend in reals. You won't have to fuss with the system. You can relax.
I'm learning how you felt living in the US. I just can't imagine how stressful it feels for others going the same thing. Everyone should be treated the same. Glad you found a place where you feel safer and more free in many ways.
After watching you ladies I am planning a trip to Mexico and would like to visit at least three cities.
That will be a great trip. Which cities are you considering? 🇲🇽
@@Roshida not sure yet but I am researching areas that might be appealing. Good food, water and mountains
@@rochellemckinney3220 Mexico city, Guadalajara , Monterrey, Queretaro etc
I’m happy to discover your channel and thoroughly enjoyed this video as my introduction. Now retired I am planning to come back to Mexico City and actually spend some time there instead of rushing to leave for the surrounding areas for fears that I as an American had gained from our media. Mexico City has some food museums and shopping that had my attention and I’m destined to return for the wonderful experience and who knows yo live there. I look forward to following you and learned about your channel while searching through Stephanie Perry’s video. Thanks to both of you for helping us who want to relocate with your healthy and informative perspectives ❤❤❤
Woooow you read my mind. My eldest daughter is blind and I was going to comment is the city walkable ❤️❤️❤️ this plan in my head makes me very nervous in a good way.
Looooove Mexico City!!!! I'll be retiring there, but considering Quito too. I've gone to CDMX so many times and still feel like I've barely scratched the surface.
Yes! Mexico City is such a hard city to get a hold of, and that's one of the things that makes it so great to me. I like Quito too. How are you gonna decide?
@@Roshida No clue...coin toss? lol
Love this video about Mexico City. I just want to clarify winter is COLD there. I was there in late November/ early December for 2 weeks and the lows were 30s and highs were 50s degrees. I was freezing the entire time because the hotels didn't have heat. I was not prepared for this level of cold being used to the Caribbean side and Cabo. Totally different because of the high elevation.
You are absolutely right, I have seen many people who say the same about the weather but in reality they don't know how cold or hot it can be
You were probably unlucky, it’s not usual to the highs being in the 50’s. Most of the winter highs are in the 60’s-70’s. And lows are mostly in the 40’s except for a few day in winter. Yeah, inside buildings and homes it’s a lot colder that you’re used to, since there is no central heating. You need to wear a sweatshirt and pants on your home in the winter.
@@pablovi77 is that normally in Mexico it is hot and very little cold, that's normal
You make me wanna move there today sounds like a nice New York. Thank you so much for your info.
Any time! Thanks for watching! 💛
No and no my dear, nothing to do with New York. Nothing is like CDMX I invite you to check it out for yourself, when you like you will be well received 🌷
@@KRAPOTKIN791 I would be very interested to watch your own video or read why CDMX is so uniquely appealing. FYI, I was also smitten first visit.
@@cylon5741 Look friend, I am not dedicated to making videos, I watch videos ok. Now you want to know why I and many other people think that New York has nothing to do with CDMX, the answer is simple. 1. It is the largest and oldest city in the entire American continent. 2. For the same reason in CDMX you can find pre-Hispanic, colonial and modern architecture. 3. Because in it you will find the one that was declared the best urban park in the whole world. 4. Because it is the city with the most museums in the world. 5. Because it has the largest market in the world (central de abastos) 6. Because it also has the second largest fish and seafood market in the world. 7. Because its subway is so much better than the one in New York and so much cheaper. 8. Because it is the zócalo which is the second largest square in the world. 9. Because despite being a city monster, it is impressively green, it is full of parks and wherever you look you will always see trees. And 10. Because it is full of Mexicans who are proud and love our beautiful CDMX, the capital of all Mexicans. For this and many more reasons I and many more who are not Mexican, we consider CDMX better than New York. To serve you friend, whenever you like, you will always be well received in the beautiful CDMX 🙏
@@KRAPOTKIN791 Thanks. As I said, I was smitten on my first visit. There was a very good energy I had not experienced elsewhere, and the parks, street trees, and architecture were amazing. Loved the Metro, the museums, and the weather.
Can you do a video about the different neighborhoods in Mexico City? I’m so intrigued. Also, you know us fashionistas want to know about the fashion there? Any nice girly boutiques? Accessories? Jewelry?
That’s a great idea! 💛
Generally speaking the closer to the center the nicer it is. Several kilometers of nice neighborhoods. The fashion is very modern as well.
Helloooo! Love your lifestyle. I'm planning to FIRE but have the issue of always moving the goal post back. Your story (getting laid off) is honestly what i need b/c otherwise people (me) just get stuck in the routine and tolerate it! Plus, i have an issue of laying down too many roots (and mortgages haha). Anyhow, i LOVE mexico city--i totally agree with you that it's like NYC. Spending time in Roma/LC/etc. reminded me exactly of the best parts of brooklyn :). Youre definitely inspiring me to reconsider where / how to live!
Thanks for watching and supporting. I know what it’s like to tolerate, but choosing what you want and pursuing it aggressively is so much more fun in the long run 💛
It's a blessing to be in a place where there is no KAREN's! I can't wait to travel out of the country soon
Hi Fatima - where do you want to go?
@@Roshida I'm going to spend a month or 6mo in MX & than after that I don't really know. Asia, Europe , Africa? I don't know. My goal is to travel & live outside of the USA.
Interesting to hear about Mexico City 🤔 I hadn't thought of it before, but now I think I would like to visit!
I truly love it here! 💛🇲🇽
BAY AREA!!! I'm late to this party, but your words in this video really spoke to me. I find so much relief and inner peace every time I travel to a place outside of the US. My wife and I are planning our fist visit to Mexico City in late July and I can't wait! We've all but decided that we are going to take advantage of the low cost of living outside of the US so we can enjoy an early retirement, but that's still several years off. At this point, I think we will still want to be in a relatively large and cosmopolitan city (and one that doesn't get cold in the winter or too hot in the summer), so Mexico City ranks high on our list of possibilities. I'll be sure to check out the rest of your videos to see whatchyu got to say!
I'm a 50 year old black man in the US. You got me thinking. Was thinking about Belize for retirement, but Mexico City is sounding good. I'll still need something to do as I'm in the trucking business now so.....
I spent over a week in Merida and found it remarkable that there were so many police, yet I found them to be friendly when we made eye contact. They even initiated a 'hello' to me, which I've never experienced in the US. Oh, and while I appreciate the extraordinary tension between the black community and police in the USA, I also fear the police here, and have had difficult interactions with them with no prompting. Not always, but there have been some occasions ...
There are many police who are part of the old corrupt regime in Mexico !! They lost the 2018 elections, the president decreed the cleaning of the police but there are still corrupt governors who have corrupt police, little by little they are making the change, for example the "Federal Police" disappeared and another "National Guard" police were created.
the corrupt governors of the PRI, PAN, PRD still control the media.
Wonderful video!…coming back to Mexico after 14 years being back in the U.S.....Can’t Wait!....new subbie!❤️
Welcome back! 💛 Where in Mexico are you headed?
@@Roshida Thank You! This time we will be living in Merida!🥰...Might make some summer trips to D.F. When the weather gets really hot in Merida!…lol!
I learned so many new words from furniture shopping 😂
An adventure!!! I need to get so much stuff that I can’t wait to expand my vocabulary! 💛💛💛
As a Mexican American, i cant wait to retire there! The city is definitely different from what ive experienced from living in a pueblo in Puebla.
Hi! Can you share more about your experience in Puebla? My husband is from there and we were considering retiring there. Thanks
I’ve been watching through many of your videos + subscribed 😊. Great content! I love your calm and soft voice, but a microphone would work wonders. It can be difficult to hear you without cranking the volume. Anyway, your content is super helpful as I’m making plans to leave the States long term by next Spring.
Rashida, you and all your friends have educated me so much about Mexico and I am giving it some serious thought although I was planning to move back to my home country Jamaica for my senior years I am definitely considering Mexico City.
Love this video and love your energy. I have been following you and Stephanie for a while and you two are the truth! This has also motivated to work on my channel. I wish you continued success and blessings ❤
Thank you trying to get it on the move!
Love Love Love this video!
I am currently planning to spend some time I n Cuernavaca 🇲🇽 this year and if I really like it ... c-ya 🇺🇸.
Being a flight attendant, I can live anywhere in the 🌎 as long as I can get to base on time. I feel like exploring that option. 🥰
You should! I've never been to Cuernavaca - I'd love to hear what you think. 💛
Love all you shared about mexico city. Been there several times but now getting ready to live there.
I hope your move is great to you! I love it here! 💛
I like you!! lol.. great energy !! Planning a move to Merida in a few months!! Thank you for the motivation!!!
Thanks for watching!
I love this!!! The countdown has officially begun for me!! Moving to Mexico in 6 months 💃🏾💃🏾 I think Mexico City is calling to me
I want to travel more but as of now if i had to choose it would definitely be Mexico City. Loved it. But i haven’t experienced since pandemic
I enjoyed this segment very much. Your 10 reasons were spot on. Being from the Bay Area, I totally get how you feel safe, comfortable just walking down the street. I love ❤ Mexico City.
Great story telling I enjoyed watching thanks for sharing! I'm planning a 6 month slow travel of Mexico later this year...
Thank you! 💛 Where in Mexico do you plan on going?
You are wonderful! I'm so glad there is a place of interest Sister. Have wonderful day. Gabriel
“GTA” Hilarious!!! I get the same question about crime because I travel alone a lot. I know the videos are catered to women but I love info and you’re content is absolutely great. Keep up the great work! And is it ok if I follow? I’m looking to moved to Mexico and get my professional textured hair products in some of the stores.
I love this principle - find your happy place and live there ❤️🙌🏾 this is my goal for the next chapter of my life. Also walkability is also a huge factor for me.
On the replay. I am glad you found your happy place.
Thank you so much and thanks for watching! 💛
Thankyou so much.. Very helpful..🙏
In Mexico u are exotic and thats a good thing that's why they stare. Let ur self go and u will make lots of friends. Welcome
Ok... You seem to be a nice one. All the Best to you! 👍🏽 Subed! 😊
Loving the look of that sofa! @ShidaD
I’m so excited to be off the air mattress! 💛💛
Thanks so much for your insights! Appreciate you!
Thanks for watching! 💛
I do admire very much how you are living your life. I watched your video “How I retired at 39” which clearly confirmed my economic and investments philosophy; cutting in debts or avoiding them altogether, living within your means, and adopting an investment and saving culture. I could comfortably relate with your economic models that can give one an early retirement, and with money to spend the rest of ones life.
Again, I’ve watched this video of “Moving to Mexico” which has also cemented what I’ve been holding true, retiring or living outside the USA. Being an immigrant who has lived in the US for over a decade, I can clearly relate to the issues you’ve mentioned; low cost of living, weather, food, race profiling, and freedom.
This is encouraging as I’m on the tail-end plan of exiting US after making enough Benjamins to go and retire in my home country. Things I was taking for granted, came to matter after spending my early years in the US.
I’m looking forward to hear of your experience in an African country, and I recommend Kenya….👍😀😀😀
Hey Fam! For the rest of August, I'm discounting my career break coaching services by 25%. Book a session with me and let's get you on your way to the sabbatical you've want, without the stress you're trying to avoid: bit.ly/CareerBreakPlanningSession 💛
You prolly dont care at all but does someone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account?
I somehow forgot my password. I would love any tips you can offer me!
@Brooks Charlie instablaster ;)
@Grayson Canaan i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Grayson Canaan It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my ass !
@Brooks Charlie no problem xD
Welcome to my country!
I hope you feel great here.
If you like tacos you need to go to "El huequito"
Thanks for the heads up, Ramses. 💛
I started a new job . I need to save money and set my business up online, I'd like to at least visit with my daughter, we're from Florida and are used to conviences, but not cheap rent for a nice place to live. Enjoyed your video 👍☺️
Great video. Very informative. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching. 💛
Lovely video, thank you. You're glowing so much, I wish you the best!
Thanks for watching and supporting! 💛
I'm trying my utmost to listen to your points, but the dress/top is holding me. I LOVE it. By the way, like the info.
Killin it Shida!!! My favorite city and thinking bout making that move, what can you tell about furniture shopping? Especially for new expats
My experience so far is that the furniture here is either uncomfortable or expensive. Gotta choose what you're willing to deal with.
@@Roshida do they have IKEA in CDMX? That seems to be the medium between ...
I love this!! Thanks for discussing this. Cost of living is a big thing for me. I am planning to go there in May and looking forward to seeing all the museums, etc. How did you adapt to the altitude, which is about 7000 ft in elevation? Especially coming from FL, sea level. Was it an issue or overly difficult?
The elevation only bothered me in the elevator in my building (30+ stories). And that stopped after about 6 months.
@ShedaD speaks truth. Oh wow! The museum fact is blowing my mind into a million bits right now!
I’ve heard wonders about Mexico City but I have never heard it out quite like this.
What about the crime though?
I don't thin the crime is worse than in any large city. People just make a big deal about it.
Thanks.I’m looking for my spot to relocate. Mexico City is next on my list to visit. Planning a 1-3 month stay. Will you be doing a video on suggestions for short term apt rentals and best neighborhoods of Mexico City for an expat?
Yes I am! My latest video includes the most popular expat neighborhoods, and has links to AirBnBs. czcams.com/video/S_D0bJgAF44/video.html
As a woman born and raised in Mexico City that actually loves living in here I have to say you got it! You absolutely got what Mexico City is all about. The story of the police cracked me up - police here are like the dogs outside the coffee shop: just chilling 😂 -. Welcome to Mexico City!
♥️😄😄😄😄♥️♥️♥️♥️
very helpfull, thank you
I just came back from Tulum and loved it. I guess I need a Mexico City trip too!
You should! Mexico City is magical! 💛
I absolutely love your videos! It's like talking with a girlfriend 😊 I'm simultaneously cracking up and saying Omg girl! Lol!
I love your outfit is it something that you designed? I am so nervous. I would love to start over.
Love your channel. I'm currently living in México on a temporary visa. I would love to get more information on how you were able to get your retirement visa.
I love this channel! It's so real.
Mexico City and Merida is on my list!!!
I lived in Mexico City for about 6 months, more than 10 years ago. I also lived in and traveled through other parts of Mexico, and through central and South America. Personally, I would not live in the city again, as it's just too big for my taste, and too hard to get out of to the countryside. Having said that, it's a great city, with a lot going for it
Hi Shida! I've really been enjoying your insightful videos. One thing I've been wondering about is black hair products. Are they accessible there? My current go to is Shea Moisture
You are adorable. Love watching your videos. I’m from Oakland born & raised 😘
Sold! Gotta visit at least!🌺
The police are probably more chill because they know the citizens aren't packing heat.
Loved watching your video. Thanks for making it!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
When I watch all this kind of videos I feel I miss more my city CDMX! :(, I'm living in Vancouver and I like to live here but I miss most of the things you mentioned and as I mentioned I missed it more when I watch videos that pointed with examples the great things about CDMX, my dream future life will be live most time there and some other time here in Vancouver :). Enjoy CDMX , I already suscribed in your channel to see how things go there! :)
Wow Shida, your comments about "belonging" really struck me. It's so sad...that is how it is in the US.
Great video 👏
You mean mentioned Columbus. Is this Columbus, OH?
Great video!
Love this. Can’t wait for my exit
You've got this! 💛
Hey Shida, you are the coolest!! Do I apply for jobs with Mexican companies or apply for work visa first?? Clear answer is hard to find.
Could you do a video comparing Mexico to Caribbean islands? Island life is more my style for early retirement.
Where did you get your dress? Gurl your dress is on point!
