It was a cultural experience for sure, plus the climate was amazing!

I if you want a good lonchería go to lonchería michis it’s my grandmas
Joco has a good number of Mex/American retirees. Might not know it but, the guy next to you in the mercado probably speaks English. But yes, this is definitely a more traditional mex town.
Good video. Thanks!
There were a few people that spoke to us in English, but not many. We always make an attempt to speak in Spanish first.
Nice mix of education and blog, nice.
Kind words! 🙏♥️🇲🇽😁
I think your decision on moving to Jocotepec is a right choice. Jocotepec place is so beautiful and very simple, the people seems to be very hospitable and approachable. And yeah the place looks safe too, having a safe place is very important specially you have a child. Hoping for the best to your family!
Thank you! We loved it there! 😋🙏♥️🇲🇽😁
It's nice that temperatures go down so much during the night. That probably makes things easier to sleep. I also like people from Mexico and think they are very hospitable so hearing you say everyone is nice and smiling a lot is no surprise. Thank you for showing us this unknown part of Mexico - you're making me want to move there!
Unknown parts of Mexico are always an amazing experience! 😎😁🇲🇽🙏♥️🤣
I really admire your lifestyle, and how you make choices about your life, wonderful family, all the best, I hope that you find in Jocotepec the life you dream about it, Wonderful family good luck.
Thanks so much! It is the only way for us going forward! 🙏♥️😁🇲🇽

Awesome video and I salute you! 👌❤️
Jocotepec came onto my radar immediately when researching Chapala area... We will come in a small RV at first at Roca Azul but now feeling pretty happy to hear it's actually a better place to land than even I envisioned. We will be a little nomadic at first but want to come stay in the late spring/summer of 2023.
Hola. Thanks for the video. I live in Chapala and a friend is considering moving to Jocotopec. Would love to hear an update as to how your stay in Joco has/had developed. Are you still there? If not, what factors led to your leaving? Hope all is well with you and family.
The couple has moved further south and happy to announce they welcomed even more to their family. They left because they love to travel, not because of anything local. They moved to Akumal for quite a while and absolutely loved it, you can see their other locations going south, found employment as a tour guide but last talk they had moved even further south for even more adventures.
I liked that you said Ajijic was a little too white for your taste. I’ve traveled some around Mexico and well into my 60’s I’m thinking about trying to spend 6 months a year there. In all my research, that was always my concern. I don’t want to move to Mexico to hang out with a bunch of Americans and Canadians. That’s what I’m trying to escape.
La vida en Estados Unidos es bien cara y más cuando están jubilados por eso muchos optan por vivir en México porque saben que haya su dinero les va rendir mejor.
A la salida de Jocotepec rumbo a Chapala hay un complejo recidencial donde viven muchos estadounidenses y canadienses ahí si hablan mucho inglés.
It’s not Chopala. It’s Chapala.
great video
Beside ok, more so cultura in Joco it is also a lot cheaper. I even been thinking about Joco even though I don't speak Spanish..................................again, beside the cultura the prices wow, so much cheaper an Ajijic. I even been thinking about Guadalajara and there as you all know. more s cultura an Joco and many other places.............................there, you get it all just ask the local people there. Ok, everyone makes their own bed.
Nice vlog. I like the drone shots. I find it a bit scary that no one is wearing masks. Lake Chapala Covid numbers are climbing.
This was from way before the pandemic.

Is it safe for women?
Hola...I felt safe while we were there. Our kids were so little then and I was out in the city exploring without my husband often. We have lived in 5 states in Mexico and not once have I felt afraid or scared or threatened and I am out often with my kids or alone. As always you should observe your surroundings and definitely use your intuition. Happy Travels.
@@danielcarden983 Thank you so much for your feedback. I really appreciate it. I like Jocotepec better than Ajijic from seeing the videos.
2020 Hippies.
NOT ex-pats immigrants.
Too white for you? Move to a remote village. Too white for you??? What the hell is that even supposed to mean?
She probably meant that there's a lot of Caucasian American and Canadian ex-pats living there. Which is correct. A lot of Americans and Canadians move to the cities surrounding the lake Chapala area. Its also very touristy. So, to them Ajijic likely felt more "American" than a regular "Mexican" town you could say. Like if you go to Tijuana, then go to San Miguel de los Lagos in Jalisco. Both Mexican city, but pretty different feel. Which is really what she should have said instead of "too white".
Because Mexico is a country of immigrants. There are people of Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Armenian, Russian, Irish, Scottish, German, Austrian, Polish, Lebanese, Swiss, French, Italian, Jewish, Spanish descent and many others. For example: If one goes to the highlands of Jalisco it ain't hard to find lots of blue eyed blondes there (who aren't ex-pats). If one goes to Chihuahua or Zacatecas you've got Mennonites and Mormons. Monterrey, Chiapas, Yucantan and Mexico City Koreans & Japanese. Baja California Chinese. Blacks in Veracruz and Oaxaca. And so on.
Yeah, she just phrased it wrong. Should have said Ajijic felt more "American" or touristy than "too white".
She said they wete looking for mire of the Mexican culture; what would be the point of moving to Mexico and live same as USA? I agree with her. I understand her point. It us Mexico, NOT USA OR CANADA. AND Mexican culture is beautiful.
I may have worded it incorrectly. It was too American for me. We left America to experience a different culture.. I didn´t want to leave America only to end up somewhere exactly like where I left. I wanted to experience the Real Mexico. Jocotopec felt real Mexican unlike Ajijic which from the outside has the Mexican Colonial feel but with lots of American and Canadian Expats also lots of people spoke English there.
@@barrettokarate You are on point. I worded it incorrectly. Thanks :)
@@lupitacajero7185 You are so correct. I wanted Mexico, the Real Culture, the Culture where people speak a different language, live differently than I have, eat differently. Ajijic just wasn´t that for us.
