Man we packed our kids up, rented the house out, and loving everyday here. Been here since the 6th and not one complaint. Still have ptsd from Americas police, but policía here have been the nicest! Making plenty of local friends.
I agree 100%. Merida is definitely the place the be. Enjoy your stay my friend
What part of Merida are you in?
I’m preparing to leave as well I’m tired of the U.S. I’m not happy here at all. I’m in the process of getting my kids passport I got mines already but I’m about to leave this whack ass place.
😂 😆 😝 I feel yah
@@Curtworrell conkal. Y tu?
Mérida is a beautiful place!
Absolutely 💯 and safe
Hello Curt, good report. There are afro mexican communities in Mexico. Often in the coastal areas of the states Vera Cruz and Guerrero. These people have their own culture and traditions.
I’ve been following some content on Afro Mexican communities. God willing, I will visit and learn more. Thanks for sharing Frank. Appreciate you.
My mom lives in Merida. I love it there. Going to visit her in May.
It’s definitely a nice place to live
Interesting stuff Curt! I’ve never heard of this city.. looking forward to more content.
It’s a really nice City in Mexico 🇲🇽 Merida is considered one of the safest cites in Mexico. I definitely be delivering more content on Merida. Stay tuned Julian
It's not to hot weather.? Nice Video 😊
Thanks for asking. Yes it can get hot 🥵 here
As a mexicano I want to say Mexicans folks we are very Curious But can be shy, so don’t take it the wrong way!
Definitely don’t take it personally.
Hola, which place do you like better? The DR or Mérida. Also, as a Black senior female, I tend to get stares. Just the other evening I walked into an OXXO. There were a lot of Mexican men in line, I guess they were getting off from work. They all turned to stare at me. I just went and picked up my water and then I got in line. No one has treated me in a hostile manner I'm sure it would equate to a unicorn walking in. In the community where we live I'm pretty sure that they just haven't seen anything like me before so it's something that I just have to accept. I wear Grey extensions and I usually get a lot of complements on my hair so Everything is Everything. I Love Mérida!
I love the beach in DR but rather be here in Mexico 🇲🇽 the people are much nicer here. I totally get you when it comes to the stares. I usually speak and they come right in to my world. 😆 I figured the are not used the seeing people like me so I don’t make a big deal out of it.
@@Curtworrell yes indeed the mayans are a short people so you're definitely special. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for sharing this valuable content.
Thank you for watching. Are you planning on moving to Merida?
Do you already live in Merida?
@@Curtworrell Not currently, but I plan to travel there soon. I enjoyed what you said in regards to "looking" or being "peculiar" ... also- how you articulated that we often have triggers when black because of being brought up in race focused societies. Sometimes it's easy to focus on race instead of the simple fact that we are unique or different or intriguing.
@@Curtworrell Not moving, but I may have to stay there temporarily for work.
@@soulpreneurbyteona Merida is a really nice place. The one draw back is that it’s extremely hot so be prepared 😂
Love that place, can't wait to go back.
It’s definitely a very chill spot. I’m enjoying it myself.
I just arrived here. Love it
Cool place indeed
Hey Kurt my friend so happy I found your channel.
Appreciate you checking out the channel. Thanks 🙏🏾
@@Curtworrell Great content
Blessings bro
Same to you my friend. Appreciate you stopping by
Nice video Brother. You wouldn't happen to be sitting infront of Gran Hotel De Merida are you? There's a Starbucks and ice cream parlor out front. I stayed there back in July this year. Loved the vintage feel of the hotel and I could walk to anything I needed. I'm coming back to Merida in January to finish my Temp Residency. However I'll just be staying for about a month. Again, great info.
I’m actually at to Starbucks. And yes in front of the hotel. Thanks for checking out the video. Appreciate you…
Gran Hotel, is my favorite hotel. I stayed there for the first time as a small child with my parents in 1969. I now live and vlog from Mexico since 2021. Great country.
I'm retired and live in Merida for three months per year. It's in the top (10) safest cities in the world. People are warm and friendly, and a very pleasant place to live. Even the police are cordial! I live there during the Winter months because the Summer months are extremely hot! The historic area of Paseo De Montejo is very clean, with lots of refurbished mansions from the 19th and 20th centuries. I love the parks, and it's a very walkable city. The first thing that struck me during my first few visits is that Meridians are very friendly and greet you first before you greet them. I've spent considerable time in the major cities across Mexico, even Mexico City. People are pleasant and respectful, they mirror foreigners' behavior, if you are kind to them, they'll be kind to you. Mexico is one of the greatest countries in the world despite the propaganda from the USA. I agree with Curt's comments.
Thanks for watching. I agree with all of your point as well. Will you be living here full time at some point ?
What’s up Curt, you took us by surprise. Did not know you left beautiful Sosua. When are you going back to Sosua?
😂 I will be back soon. I’m working on my second passport so I had to leave to handle that
As a Mexican it’s just curiosity, yes wondering, what country you could be from , we are very loving people
I know…
I have hearing good things about Merida, a more quieter option then Cancun, and the real estate options are definitely way cheaper and more luxurious for your American dollars, food and dining are relatively inexpensive compared to the United States.
It’s definitely a nice place. It’s also a very safe place
I did not understand why transportation is an issue in Merida when there are 4 or 5 types of public transportation: 1) Uber 2) DiDi 3) InDrive 4) Taxi 5) Municipal Bus Transit. Private drivers are also available through several private companies in the area. I live in Santiago de Queretaro and we have the same type of transportation services that I just mentioned. ALL of the big cities in Mexico have these services. Can you elaborate as to why transportation in Merida May be an issue?
Thanks for your comment
I'd like to know as well. Are they not readily available or something?
I HAD NOTED THAT THE LATIN COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE ARE WHAT WE CALL 'MIRONES' BECAUSE THEY CAN STARE AT YOU FROM HEAD TO TOE, ITS NOT A MATTER OF COLORS, IT IS OUR CULTURE, WE ARE MIRONES. I UNDERSTAND IT IS A LOCK OF EDUCATION ON OUR PART. IN AMERICA YOU DON'T FIND PEOPLE STARING A YOU SO MUCHO LIKE IN LATIN COMMUNITIES.
Thanks for your comment. Appreciate your insight
I'll be moving to Merida 2023 as a retiree. I've visited and have my permanent residency. Its hot but I'll acclimate and adjust accordingly. Its a beautiful and safe city and I can't wait to leave the states and make Merida my home. 😍
I did subscribe to your channel!
It’s a beautiful place indeed. We’ve been here for the past 3 years and still haven’t explored all of Merida. Congratulations on your retirement
Im considering the same. I want to start out 3 months of the year until I make a decision to move on a perm basis. I hope to hook up with other like minded blacks.
For sure… stay tuned. The lawyer I will be interviewing is the best.
Come to Puerto Vallarta. No one looks at you twice.. taxis. Uber in driver. Etc.. mexrentacar... Cars for less than 150 USA a week.. insurance included... Rent a car... Puerto Vallarta... PDC. Merida etc.. just come..

It’s pretty chill
Affordable.
@@WGATP yes. And hot 🥵 😂
Curt ... I'm crackin' up when you use the term "people of color" in this video ... bruh, everybody there is a 'person of color' ... lol
Thanks for commenting and the reminder 😆
That heat beating u boy lol
Indeed
Have you tried the Jamaican restaurant in Playa Del Carmen yet?
@@Curtworrell I keep hearing about it but I just left Jamaica I don’t miss Jamaican food yet lol
@@Curtworrell is it any good?
@@MoTheTravelingJamaican it’s really good.
I wonder how it is for a pink man.
Just my perspective my friend
Nobody cares about pink men 🤡
Just stop already. This has nothing to do with you so go back to your peoples social spaces. Jeez don’t you all have more pressing issues?
@@julian2524 😂
@Celebrity Hype I know 😆 I don’t mind entertaining the trolls
I’m sure they seen bald men everywhere in the world. I mean men have been going bald since time memorial
Great point. Thanks for watching and commenting
How are the women? Do they look exotic like Mayan women?
