    I’ve traveled all over Mexico and La Paz really stole my heart when I went there. The beaches are gorgeous and the town has a cool laid back non touristy beach/island vibe. But I don’t think I could live there year round due to how hot it gets in the summer.
  • I am a legal resident of La Paz. Thanks to Jimena. She's my expat advisor. Awesome video!

    Es imposible mantener el aire acondicionado encendido en verano en México. La factura de electricidad aquí es ridículamente cara. Esta sugerencia es simplemente imposible. Tengo demasiado calor para dormir todos los días. Este es mi verdadero estado de ánimo cuando vengo a La Paz. Si tienes miedo al calor, entonces no debes venir aquí, porque no sólo hace calor aquí, sino que hace mucho calor y permanece caliente durante mucho tiempo. Hace tanto calor durante aproximadamente dos tercios del año. .

    I love La Paz. We actually tried to live there before we moved to San Jose del Cabo, but we just couldn't find an apartment as quickly as we needed one. It's growing so much there, I wonder how big a city it will be in 5-10 years!
  • Many years ago, I knew a guy who had married a woman from La Paz. He loved it there and they were building a house. We were working on the Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia, and it seems the climate in La Paz is similar.
  • Jimena's English is great... I visited La Paz in October 2022 ... weather was like summer ☀️ ... Great relaxing town ⛱️🍹🍺😃👍
  • @cindyk3076
    That is so beautiful! Don't know that I could handle the summer heat but those beaches look fantastic.
  • I live here full time and love it. The summers are hot but not hot and humid like Southern Ontario.. we have not regretted our decision to live here

    Jimena helped me with my permanent residency in La Paz. She is GREAT! Very professional. She made the process very easy for me.
  • Centenario has everything, perfect place for x-pats. La Paz is a lot more 💰 investment for less land, less house.
  • @tarey05
    How frequent are power outages? One might consider prepping if there are food and product shortages. Overall too many american expats for my liking. Thanks.
  • @John-qu7ij
    Thank you, I am visiting La Paz this November to see if its good fit for me and your video definitely helps me
  • @mdrichards
    Great interview and information. It is a beautiful place.
  • @1SLPMOM
    Great information!! Nice to learn about more than the beautiful beaches. Thank you!
  • You are a terrific interviewer by virtue of letting your subject actually speak. Nice. I’m not into La Paz though - that heat and desert NOPE
  • Do snowbirds and expats end up spending most of their life in airconditioned houses and buildings in the summer because of the intense heat or do they simply not stay in Baja during that time?
  • @MrJx4000
    This video is a keeper. Thanks Alex.
  • The sea life in sea of Cortez is amazing like no other really. Vibe is very islandish
