➡ ABOUT ME
My name is Crosby and I'm a solo traveler, digital nomad, and full-time traveler! After a few corporate jobs throughout college, I quickly realized that the 9-5 lifestyle wasn’t for me. So in 2019, I took the leap into the freelance world and started traveling the world full-time - from solo traveling Mexico to road tripping Portugal to living in a travel trailer, I'm absolutely addicted to this lifestyle. Right now, I'm back in Mexico and sharing my adventures here on CZcams!

The sorrow I've experienced since leaving Mexico is indescribable. Moving soon. ❤️🩹 ❤️🔥
Such a rich, beautiful place which makes it that much harder to leave! 🇲🇽❤️
That’s how I feel too. Moving back to the states has left me feeling empty. I’ve been back for a year now and I’ve really isolated myself. I miss Mexico dearly. Living there made me full of life and I felt so much happiness. I’ve been trying to plan how to move back.
Again and again I hear similar reports, it seems to be a country that strikes the heart of so many! Been all around the world and although I am always sad to leave, I've never said to myself "I want here to be my home". I'm talking about a real permanent home, not just hanging for a few months. Mexico seems to be different in that way for a lot of people. Hoping it strikes me the same! Where in Mexico did you like the best? On my list for possible place to call home so far are:Guanajuato, Morelia, Oaxaca, San Cristobal. Oaxaca easy to grab the short flight to Puerto Escondido for a beach fix, I like these cities because you have elevation and don't deal with the very hot/humid challenge as in Yucatan etc. Would love to hear your thoughts!
Which you prefer, Oaxaca or MX city? I have 4 day vacay.@@CrosbyGraceTravels
@@JennieDreamWeaver Mexico doesn't want more US people moving there working remotely and making our lives more difficult, especially when you treat our immigrant so disgracefully.
The website for lodging where you stayed has raised those prices by several hundred dollars now.
Oaxaca and that lush coffee shop were awesome! Yes, show us a day in your life from your hometown.
-Hasta pronto !
Maybe down the road you'll end up making somewhere in Mexico your home base, you never know! I'm going down in January to look at possibilities for my move to Mexico, and Oaxaca City / Pacific coast is first on my list to spend time in. Got my permanent residency card and a lifetime of travel and adventure continues! When you go to South Africa see if you can make it to Mozambique, amazing diving, beautiful people. I drove there (and Swaziland) after exiting the southern portion of Kruger Park. Female solo road trip, one of the best adventures ever! Every bucket list ought to have at least one border crossing in Africa on it!
That's definitely a possibility!! Thanks for sharing!
Let us see Tampa!! We all love you here, so it would be cool to see the family, friends, and home that shaped such a beautiful soul!!! Thank you for working so hard for our entertainment, your hard work is so appreciated. Safe travels.
Aww you are so sweet!! I will make one for sure!
Mexican Living in near the Villages lol
I really love the day in the life videos but I'm just happy seeing videos from you. Absolutely take time off for yourself, everyone needs that self-care. Yes, vlogs from FL would be great! We had snow for the first time a week ago, it's melted now but will be back with a vengeance, no doubt, so FL vlogs will be great! Take care, safe travels.
Aw thank you so much, Cindy!! I really appreciate that. I think a Tampa vlog is long overdue so stay tuned ;)
Your such a Doll, I love your energy and personality! Saludos from a Mexican American from California!! Keep up the great work!!
Thank you so much!!
I love your vidoes, Crosby! So many great tips. Thanks so much! 😀
You are so welcome!
I spent 1 and half months in Puebla and when I was leaving I cried a lot, I’m definitely moving to Mexico soon
You should go to tulum, bacalar, xcaret and yucatan. Also guanajuato and huasteca potosina.
Playa balandra too
I would love to!
Omg I’ll come just for the ice cream ❤❤❤
I would love it if you did a “best of Oaxaca” restaurant/shopping/activity vid for us who have t been yet
Oooh that's a great idea!! Thank you!
Definitely love to see your Tampa vlog
Coming soon!
HAHAHA the chaos of the Lucha 😂 You captured it perfectly!
What a time!!! Hahah so glad I got to experience it with you guys!
The lucha libre looked quite intense and exciting at the same time! It sounds like you have a lot of exciting travel plans coming up in 2024! I'm glad to hear that Mexico is feeling more and more like a second home. Everything you have been showing has been absolutely incredible! I'm sure you will be back there very soon! I also need to plan my first trip to Mexico soon as I would love to check it out for myself someday!
Next year will be amazing but I’m sure I’ll return to Mexico before we know it! And yes, you definitely need to visit 🇲🇽
Great video. Never been to Oaxaca but now I may go!
Very interesting with Mexico, it seems like Indonesia with those beautiful landscapes, people, and delicious foods as well.
It's such a huge diverse country with lots of amazing nature, people and foods - you've got that right! Totally different culture obviously but it's definitely rich in beauty and culture, just like Indonesia
Aww you + dylan are bk together? Breaks are the best for a relationship + give you renewed appreciation 💜
Happy for you!
Thank you!!! 🥰
Welcome to Mexico anytime.
Saw your video on Sayulita, I'm going for all of Feb, try to learn to surf LOL
Good luck!!
I am from Mexico, and live in Tampa, FL. I go back and forth between two countries every year.
Go ahead and make a video of tampafl, video was very good in the scenery and beautiful town, central Florida.
Nice video look like you have so much fun. Greetings
Xiocolath from Mexico to the world !!!!
Very enjoyable and informative..as always...oaxaca is on my short list!
In Tampa make your videos as usual then you can edit and decide about posting later.
I hope you go someday!
I love Oaxaca! Been there 5-6 times and I’m going for Christmas this year. Definitely want to check out Almú-turns out my hotel is a 5 minute walk from there. And the ice cream! One of my favorite places is Café de la Selva, which is a cat café-I’m a serious cat lady and also vegetarian (the food at that café is wonderful and vegan). I also love that organic market and the barrio of Jalatlaco. If I were young like you I’d probably be a digital nomad, but I missed that opportunity by a few decades. Are your parents ok with it? When I was in my 20s I went to India and wanted to go back and just travel around but my parents pitched a fit. But of course in those days keeping in touch was not easy. Anyway, have a wonderful time traveling!
Mexico is home to the world.
Mexico is for the mexicans
😂😂😂
Have fun and enjoy your time in Tampa. Mexico will not go anywhere and will be waiting for you when you are able to go back. I will be in Brasil in February.. miss you Crosby and remember you are always welcome in Vancouver
❤️❤️❤️ thank you so much!!!
Yes, make video about Tampa and ideally visit CDMX in September for Independence Day
I want to do both!!
Quick question for Crosby - when you do the long trips like bouncing from San Cristobal up to Sayulita (a while back) do you just get the closest flight back up to MEX and then go on to your destination? I'm finding you have to go all the way up to MEX to catch a flight to where you want to go much of the time and after doing all that you only save a couple of hours on time vs. a bus! So even when happy to spend the extra $ often the flying does not do much. For instance getting from San Cris to Yucatan destinations , gotta go back up to MEX. Find this to be accurate?
I recommend you book one month stays
Great miamor Oaxaca it's beautiful state of Mexico ❤
I'm currently in Oaxaca, Mexico, I'm going to definitely try that Chocolate ice cream. You'll love my home country of South Africa, Definitely visit Cape Town, and pop in for a coffee at my work, Cape Town Creative Academy at the V&A Waterfront if you do go to Cape Town. Also visit The Kruger National Park, the most amazing place in the world :) Happy travels.
We are lucky to have the most beautiful 2 countries in the world in norteamerica area MÉXICO and USA 🇺🇸🇲🇽
Absolutely interested in Tampa😊
Viva México 🇲🇽
I would just love to see Tampa and what Florida is all about. I live in Nova Scotia and went there as a kid in a trailer but that was a long time ago. ❤😊
That's great to hear! I'll be vlogging in Tampa this month after all!
You can also try slow traveling and find a new way to understand a place by being there more time than usually a turist does.
That's my goal for next year!
Great 👍 video Crosby you an dillion a great couple 😊
Aw thank you!
muss cafe is my favorite!! Best mochas of my life haha
Sooo good
Let’s see Tampa!!
Say less 😉
OMG ERIC AND SARAH!!!!!!!
Thanks for All the enjoyable and informative videos ,1question what's the average cost of living in Oaxaca de Juarez for a retired couple ?
Thanks for your vidios I love to visit Tampa please tell me more about that place I love your vidios
You got it!!
i would love to see tampa ❤
Nice guest
Visit Taxco in Mexico and return to Chicago in 2024.
That luchas were way too chaotic.
Saludos
I was just wondering what do you do for work remotely? I’m a digital nomad but my job has slowed down quite a bit. Think I need a change 😊
I am a full-time content creator, so I make money on CZcams and Instagram! Before this year, I made most of my money as a digital marketing freelance until I took my content creation business full-time
@@CrosbyGraceTravels congratulations! I love your videos! 💕
have you been to Guadalajara?
Yes just for 8 days! I have a vlog on my channel from earlier this year if you want to check that out
EVEN IM NOT A FAN, so glad u enjoyeyd the crazyness of Lucha libre. One of dozends of crazy mexican traditions. i hope u are less butnout these weeks but taker ur time every time u need it. And dont worry that mmuch about ur "first world problems" haha well, since u are from a "first world" cuntry u are priviledge already but u clearly are living mexico in the most mexican way u can. Lots of tourists (mainly gringos and mainly older) still visit mexico in the tourist and superficial way and u DONT, u explore and learn as many as u can and thats impresive and u know mexicans apreciate it. I wish u could experiment much more of mexican experiences, i know u will do in the future. Next year i'd love u could visit ZOCALO clearly in MEX CITY during independence day. know u're not into politics and its perfect but its the ending of president term and BELIEVE ME Independence day is gonna be CRAZY. u should definitely enjoy the experience of the "Cry of independence" in the very Zocalo, its totally chilling. Wellcome back ANYTIME❤
I appreciate this comment so much! I'm glad my love for Mexico shines through ❤
👌👌👌👌👌👌
I’m a Digimad too, currently in Cancun after Dubai and the contrast was not a good choice . One extreme to the next. I’m spending most of time in Cancun trying to find wifi and a clean sink to wash my hands. Don’t even think about taking a cab and you better know Spanish or your iced latte will be a croissant with whip.
Grace make Dubai you next stop and you’ll never look at a public bathroom in the west the same again.
Once you bum gun there’s no going back . I don’t know how Americans have landing rockets and stock markets but still smear them selves with poopie paper!?
Hola Bonita..will you give me the name of the place you staying I'm interested in renting a place like this for few months I'll appreciate a lot

She needs to thank DADDY for paying for her travel.
Aw look! It’s an insecure little boy! 😂
@@CrosbyGraceTravels nothing more "beta" than calling himself an "alpha" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't think her Daddy is paying for her travel and if he is so what it's his daughter .I'm sure he cares and loves her. Sorry your Daddy doesn't feel that way about you.
We are using the Play del Carmon travel guide from Simone and Giovanni @fortheroadtravels (they live there and out together a guide of all the best food and places in the Riviera Maya 😍 I would love to see y'all do a collaboration it'd be so cool to watch you use the guide (as a travel pro) to experience that area 🏖️ PS also Simone is South African so if y'all connect I'm sure she can give you travel guide tips from a local
Ahh I would LOVE to meet up with them! But I was only there for a week on a retreat so I didn't have time - but I hope to return!
Just be careful, don’t catch any STDs …..
